@ mattk210: Do you have Facebook? If so, maybe you can PM it to me.

At the moment the weekly meets on Mondays will still be underway in the new year :).

Edit: I'll also be announcing the next tournament soon :).

@FractalRevive Since October last year I've been hosting tournaments in Canberra on a monthly basis for multiple smash games (so far Brawl, Melee, and PM). A carpool from Sydney comes down to reach some of our tournaments so maybe next time you can make it down with some of them! :). Speaking of which...

The results thread for Canberra Colosseum 6 is officially up!


http://smashboards.com/threads/canb...ustralia-results-shoutouts-14-06-2014.358421/

The next tournament is likely going to be on July 5th.

Hey, I've just recently seen the smash documentary and been getting pretty into smash tournaments and stuff maybe about a month or so before that.
I am considering going to this tournament since I live reasonably close, however I would like to know roughly how many people go to these things around Canberra. Is it more of a smaller group of people or has the scene grown to where it can be somewhat crowded at this point?

While I have been following SC2 for a few years now and mostly got into smash since I'm a big team liquid fan. I honestly am a little nervous about rocking up by myself and potentially feeling a little like an outsider.

@ Judeaus Judeaus Just go! The smash scene is very welcoming to new players. I was a complete outsider like 8 months ago in the qld scene, and now I've made a bunch of good friends. Trust me, just go

The results for Canberra Colosseum 7 are up!

Thanks to everyone that came out, especially Sydney for coming down with two carpools! Looking forward having you guys again and to increasing the interstate activity all around Australia!

The next tournament is likely going to be on August 2nd. A date will be finalized later this week!

Our date changed to August 9th. Not a lot of traffic goes thru here so admittedly I overlooked making an update here but I will be in the future. Thanks for the heads up :)

I propose this list as it considers RoS 3+.

It's also a lot shorter so you can't come last and end up on it.

It also has input from your top P:M player who you forgot(??) to ask for help.

Melee:
1. Joe
2. 1der
3. Gomez
4. Alien

Project M:
1. Joe
1. Seb
3. Tinman
4. Gomez

Question: why isnt @ Tin Man Tin Man a panelist.
I was also going to ask why isnt Joe on top of both those lists but then read that attendance was considered (as it should be). when was the last time Joe even came to a Canberra Colosseum?

Updated the PRs now. And I'm not a panelist mainly because I already have a truckload of commitments as it is :p.

So is this a general ACT Smashers thread? I hadn't played Melee for years and never did the tournament thing despite probably sinking hundreds of hours into the game... but with SSB4 out I'm getting back into Smash. Just figured out my old login here ("last seen 2007") and might be interested in trying my hand at the competitive stuff as a change from online matches against randoms. Hi?

How's it going Arwon! This is pretty much the general Canberra thread yes :).

A majority of the community updates are on Facebook in the Canberra Smash Players group

www.facebook.com/groups/canberrasmashplayers

Don't got Facebook? Well the next event coming up in Canberra is ZEAL on December 13 - 14. Smashboards page is

http://smashboards.com/threads/act-...00-in-pot-bonuses-december-13-14-2014.374056/

Other than that, there are also monthly tournaments which you can find out about here or in the Canberra Colosseum thread :)

Excellent, have joined the group. Don't think I'll make ZEAL but I think I'll try and make one of the weekly meets sometime soon and see how badly my online play has prepared me.

Currently I am cranky because I've been unable to source a gamecube controller adaptor. Silly me assumed they'd be available at launch and now everywhere including Nintendo Australia Customer Service are sold out.

Ah yes, the shortage affected quite a few people. Looks like either pre-ordering the bundle or getting the equipment online is the way to go. That being said the meets and tournaments allow us to come together with our resources to enjoy the game, and through that in the last week we were able to enjoy 8 player smash with 2 adapters :).

So hopefully that gives you something to look forward to!

The results for Canberra Colosseum 11 & 12 are officially up! Please follow the links below to find the results pages.

Canberra Colosseum 11: http://smashboards.com/threads/smas...ustralia-results-shoutouts-29-11-2014.389394/

Canberra Colosseum 12: http://smashboards.com/threads/smas...australia-results-shoutouts-31-1-2015.389396/

With these results going up, a Power Rankings update for Melee and Project M will be in the works! As for Smash 4, a Power Ranking will be formed for that after the next wave of smash tourneys (so in 4 months/after May) in order to gain more results to pull from. Results will be tallied from all of the Wii U tourneys (hence from ZEAL onward). If there are any changes on this plan, notice will be given when appropriate!

We finally have some new ACT Power Rankings for Project M as it's been about a year since the last one came out. The scene has grown significantly since the start of the ANU Super Smash Brothers Club and we've been hosting weekly meets and tournaments every three weeks at ANU. All information about these events can be found at https://www.facebook.com/groups/CanberraSmashPlayers/
I will be updating this thread with tournament results from now on as well. Also a melee PR will be in the works shortly and probably a Smash 4 one too.
