Me and KO are the best of mid tennessee (I'm still confident I'm one of the best in TN in general, but memphis doesn't get over here terribly often, so it's hard to judge), I main Yoshi with almost every other char at a passable tourney level(most notably marth/roy falcon, fox, and sheik), and he mains ganon, but will try to play pichu and bowser when he's bored.

Then there's mr. pickle, who's a surprisingly decent M2 main, or at least shows potential when he's not choking on his own **** during tourneys, he comes over at least once a month or so.

Besides us, there are a couple people in the murfreesboro area that are kinda at an ok to beginner level, but don't play as often: Alex (marth, falco), Ash (marth, falco, falcon) Cody (jiggz/marth).

Nashville is about 30-40 minutes away depending on where you are in smyrna/mboro, and Knoxville will be around 3.5-4h away. In Nashville is samba and his crew, who are all alright, but don't quite get out enough to get the experience to be terribly good, despite having some really promising stuff.

Me and KO are actually roommates and live together, so there'll normally be someone here to play regardless of when you want to, but just know we don't really like to play eachother, and we're both in a phase where we find it hard to get excited about melee like we used to. I could still play for hours on end, if you wanted to(KO gets bored mad fast though), but I've been trying to train the newbies for so long, I dunno how much I could tolerate seriously. I legit hope you can beat me so I'm forced to think about the game again, and it can freshen up my interests.

Lookin forward to meeting you either way though, so drop me a text when you get down to the area. 484-330-6715

Well, if you have any videos of you in a set/game, throw them on here so I can get an idea of what I'm facing.

The best comparison I can think of is in regards to some of Ohio's top players. I can go toe to toe with both 4% and VaNz (best two players in Ohio who are active). I couldn't compare myself to Vidjo or Drephen, only because I've never played them and would have no idea how the set would go.

About my playstyle: I like doing technical things, yet however, I don't have much of a technical gameplay. My most technical character is my Falco, then my Fox, then my Marth. I play Falcon for friendlies, and know how to play Sheik relatively well, but just not to the point where I'd call her a secondary. Still, I'm no scrub, so don't treat me like one when I get there :p I love playing for hours and hours on end, so expect lots of Melee from me when I have days off of work. I practically revived the Melee scene in Ohio, so it might die after I leave, but I know I can get Tenessee's scene going once again. You guys just have to be willing to let it happen.

From what I'm looking at time wise, I should be making the move within 2-3 weeks. The people I'm staying with will be getting payed on the 13th, so I should have an answer to a move-in date by then. All I'm doing for right now is waiting. I'm really excited to play and see Tenessee's scene.

There aren't really any vids recently of anybody in this area. I recorded/streamed over the summer, but it was all on jtv, and I didn't save the stuff, so it's kinda gone now. The only things on youtube for me should be like two years old. Not that I was awful back then, but I feel like I'm so much better now that it's not even a close representation of anything.

You might be in luck with the timeframe that you're coming, because we host monthlies, and the next monthly is happening october 29th, which is about 3-4 weeks away. Even better for you, the venue should only be like 20 minutes away. Most of the people that I mentioned in my last post, usually go to the monthlies, as well as some out of staters, or if we're lucky, memphis even. It'd be a great way to come get to know everyone, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't come visit me and KO before the tourney if you're free once you get here.

So Vanz can comment on your skill level?

Like, the peach/puff vanz, that used to live in new york? If it's that vanz, then you should ask him about me, since I used to be in a crew with him, so we played almost once a month waaaaay back. Haven't seen that guy since pound 4 though, nor eggm/tec0.

Yes, that VaNz. Jaden mains IC's, Puff, Fox, Sheik, and Peach. He can play every character exceptionally well though.

Wow the community is bigger than I thought :). I suck at melee right now lol, mostly because the only people I have played are causal players.

Yeah I get the chokes pretty bad, but at least I've achieved the level of decent lol. I intend on making my monthly appearance saturday, just saying in case anyone else was thinking of going and making it a smash fest ;), but ya know I would show up more often, but driving like an hour and half kinda sucks, plus other **** going on in my life.

Just talked to KO and I'll be coming this weekend. I'm bringing everything I'll need to hack his ps3/psp so if anybody has one and wants it hacked bring it on up. I'm going to see how my hand is doing and if it is doing well I'll also bring my soldering iron and stuff to show how to use that. If were playing melee we might as well nerd ou proper. Anyways, if anybody needs a ride or wants to carpool or w/e just send me a PM. I live in madison like 3 minutes from rivergate. Also, if anybody wants to play this week before saturday just let me know.

i gots a proposal. sense there are so many new smashers in TN, i think we need to form a crew. so we can work on being less scrubby. just a thought. what do you guys think? i have like 3 people who'd be good candidates in my town. there's another who'd be a good option but he decided he's only going to play project m.

We don't really need to be a "crew" to play smash together ya know? :p We're all a bit far away too, so I don't really know. I'm fine with helping anyone out, and teaching people if they want to come all the way over here for it though, that's cool with me, but as for me right now I have no real transportation anyways, so yea... If it gives you a warm fuzzy feeling inside we can call ourselves a "crew," but I don't see the difference between that, and just a bunch of guys who play smash every once in a while.

my motivation here is so we could be more organized, maybe resulting in more gathering of the people. but i see what you're saying. i have a ride. it's up to my mom how i can use it. but she's pretty reasonable. i could possibly bring a couple people from here, pick the kid up from Knoxville, and meet somewhere in middle Tennessee. next week's fall break. so i should be available a big chunk of the week.

Speaking of fall break, I actually have another person coming over on monday from one of my classes who claims to enjoy melee, but not be all that great at it despite knowing the advanced stuff. Maybe if you could get up here then, it'd boost his morale to keep up with it as well. Just a speculation, of course, but yea I'm off school monday and tuesday, and one of my professors won't be in class the rest of the week after that, so besides looking for a job, I'll be alright for most of next week.

alright. i should be free monday. if my mom won't let me drive she'd bring me. my friend might have work, i'm not sure yet, but if not, he'd be more than happy to come with me. i could probably spend the night if you'd like. but not if that's too intrusive or anything. haha.

I'm on fall break right now so I've been practicing melee in my room lol. I really need to get some real practice with competitive players. I'll see if I can make it to the next smashfest.
