Where are the Smashers at? Cuz after Basic Training I'll be there for 14 weeks for school and I'm going to want to play as many players as possible. I'll be there around.. August of 2011 (Yeah that's a ways off). Just trying to plan ahead and try to get to know the FL scene before I actually get there.

I'm pretty decent. I'm truly dedicated to SSBM. I'm a chill guy.

Haha I don't know what else to say. I just hope that here are some players out there. :laugh:

Lol Pensacola is preeeeetty far out from FL's active Melee scene. You actually might want to consider giving Alabama a shoutout. You can also try checking out the FL thread inside the main Atlantic South board and see about contacting members using the Melee locator section. I warn that I haven't verified activity of people listed there yet as I'm working on the videos section atm.

Usually not playing Brawl. Location: Enterprise
There has been an active yet separate group of FL players in the panhandle for quite some time. Mankosuki still lives there from what I know, as well as Rice (who's a great melee falco.)

Otherwise you're pretty far away from any central FL smashing. The closest thing would be AL/LA/Tallahassee.

There are a couple of smashers in Panama City, FL, which is about 1.5 - 2 hours from Pensacola: Zone, Tropical Taco and Dr. Nastytime, and Pritch and myself during the holidays/breaks.

Thanks guys for all the info. Though I don't think I'll be allowed to drive when I'm at school so I was kinda hoping on ride and such. Maybe I can find a Greyhound or something near where I'm located so I can get to the central scene. Idk time will tell.

I'll keep you guys posted on what's going on. Where's there FL social thread located? Just so I can see what's up.

Melee? Cuz I don't really touch Brawl.

And I'm not just limited to Smash. I can play Tekken/SF/Starcraft II/Halo.

I'm a month late in seeing this (need to name search more) but yeah, there's a few of us that smash here in Pensacola. There's a mix of Brawl only, Melee only, and a couple like me who play both. Make sure to hit me up when you come down since I'm typically the one holding smashfests.

As others have stated, we're too far away from tournaments in FL aside from the occasional Tallahassee ones. We've thrown a few every now and then ourselves, but it's generally not worth it since people are so spread out from us. We mostly visit AL and LA for tournaments. Panhandle FL smashers are basically considered OOS smashers. For reference, Orlando is the main tourney spot for FL and it's around 7 hours from here.

***K YOU THOMAS!!!! I'm here too!!!

Plus I started the scene in this area with Manko. All so Rice to pave his was to the top lol



Also rhan the only people who play melee in the area are me Rice and a few others. Sooo hit me up if you don't mind driving an hour to fort walton to play some.

Also your crow avatar is sweet. You play yugi also?

Yes I play Yuigoh also.

And I won't be able to drive because I'll be on base. So I'll lack a car. But I might be able to find out if there's a close enopugh Greyhound station and get a ride out there sometime.

what base are you going to be on? If it is Eglin of Hurlburt we could come pick you up. Also bring your yugi stuff rice and I pretty much run the yugi scene and melee scene in fort walton beach.

Haha I'll be sure to include that in the ish to get sent to me.

I won't really know where I'll be stationed until I'm actually there. But you have better knowledge of the area. So it should be one of those two.

I'll ask my dad or my recruiter next time I see them.

I just moved to Pensacola and am looking for the smash scene too. I play brawl/melee but mostly brawl tourneys the past couple years. Can't find any nearby though :/

Mobile is about an hour away in Alabama and we're getting bi-monthlies going. However the next one's gonna be in Montgomery as we're trying to make it a big one.

Short notice as it may be, I'm gonna see if Pensacola and Mobile are interested in a smash fest this weekend as I have to take someone to the airport in Pensacola anyway.

I live on Eglin if ever you wanna hang out and play. I haven't played people in smash 64 in a long while. You're right outside my base. haha.

You should be in Pensacola, which is 50 miles/an hour away from FWB. Shalimar is just outside of where I'm stationed(Eglin AFB), so for you that's about an hour 20 mins away.
