Best / Worst Areas for Melee

[Shai Hulud]

I'm sure this thread has been done before but it's relevant to bring up again in light of the dwindling community. I'm interested in which states, and in particular which areas (for large states like CA or TX) have the most active Melee communities right now. Things like number of tournaments hosted, average number of people showing up at tournaments, and overall quality of tournament Smashers are the key factors.

Also in which states has Melee died completely? Where is the worst place to go to play Smash? I'm sad to say Mississippi is probably near the top. I think there's 2 active Smashers here (maybe 3, I think we got a new one!).

Keep it on topic and this should be interesting.

dwindling?

 

[cyclone248i]

Best area? SoCal ;o

 

[I.B]

I guess Socal and tri state would be best. Followed by Florida or something.

Worst would be like Wyoming or Idaho LOL

 

[FYASKO]

alaska 8D lol

 

[Da Shuffla]

I think I heard NJ has the best scene.

 

[Zjiin]

IL has a pretty active scene, although it prob won't be comparable to coasts.

 

[Geist]

lol not Nevada.
At least not Las Vegas, I have no idea about Carson City.


It's like I'm the lone survivor of the Brawl Holocaust and everyone else is now a metaknight zombie.

NE/Florida/SoCal. That's pretty much it for the hotspots.

 

[Geist]

I'm so glad I'm close to Socal.

 

[Cactuar]

Tristate woooo.

 

[Strong Badam]

Midwest keepz melee alive.

 

[Eggm]

What we really should concentrate on is uniting us all soon for an epic tournament. xD

 

[KevinM]

Ohana EggM,

I would name the hotspots as definitely
New England/Tri-state is interchangable we all go to each others tournaments
Socal
and thats really it.

 

[Grunt]

Oregon!
Oh wait...

 

[Melomaniacal]

The Philly/NJ area is actually pretty good for Melee.

 

[slartibartfast42]

Ohio has good stuff going on fairly often. That's all I really check though.

 

[tubes]

dwindling?

I coulda sworn I read on this very board about how Melee was slowly regaining players. Idk

lolololololol

 

[victra♥]

alaska 8D lol

Alaska actually has a scene.

Here in Canada, Alberta and BC have the biggest (big for us, small for you guys). East Coast seems to be really into Brawl and stuff, BC is half and half and Alberta is strictly Melee biatchesss. (With the exception of Superboom who plays 64 and dabbles with melee and brawl.)

 

[AetherLord]

West Central Florida is HORRIBLE

Georgia actually has a pretty good scene I have heard...

 

[Vts]

arkansas is bad we have like about 10 smashers.

i hear Florida is really good, might move there if its truly big :D

 

[K1T3]

Texas is still trying to keep the melee going. In my city we still have a good 20+ players.
We should be having a big Melee/brawl tourney in Jan with a few other states coming as well.

 

[Professor Pro]

The best area of melee is MELEE
The worst area of melee is its relation to brawl!

 

[Professor Pro]

loool I read the title and instantly thought it meant somethingelse BUT that post still stands.
The best area for melee is UK

 

[Stratocaster]

Not Tennessee for sure, in Knoxville I think including myself theres... 4. Maybe theres 1 or 2 I don't know of though, I doubt it. We even have a large university (University of Tennessee) and still hardly anyone plays smash, not even brawl. Memphis is better though, theres almost a scene there, maybe 10-30 players there, I'm not really positive. Memphis is basically in another state from Knoxville though, its 6+ hours away.

 

[smash superstar]

IL seems to be kind of a mixed bag to me.

There are some spots that are still for melee and always remand for melee, but then there are some spots where brawl has taken over.

We still play a lot its just no one hosts any tourneys anymore T_T

 

[choknater]

the level of socal's melee is incredible

well, mango at least

 

[4% APR]

Ohio is still decent

 

[Zjiin]

There's been a decent melee tourney around every week for a while now.

Matt dot late has yet to find a venue, so no europe -=/

The worst area? Probably South Carolina

The best area is the tri state area by far. Its not even close.

I agree with this statement completely. I can probably count the number of people that still play melee in the state one my fingers.

Yeah it's so good, Americans should all come down at the same time to see its greatness :D...

lawl
I didn't know there were people there, let alone smashers.

 

[Ja]

South Carolina is probably the worst. Everyone plays brawl. The only meleer that is here year round is RC, and he's 3 hours away from me.

Let me reiterate this in a way everyone can understand.

*cough*

I, coreygames, live in the state West Virginia. There are no people here. There are no smashers here. There is nothing to do here.

We go to South Carolina for vacation like many people do. South Carolina has many people there, and, there are two people in this thread posting. You know how many people from WV post on SWF? I'll let you guess how many.

WEST VIRGINIA IS DEAD. IT NEVER HAD A COMMUNITY LET ALONE HAS A DWINDLING ONE.

Feel free to be happy to have someone 3 hours away from you, I have to go 7 to get out of state.

Someone told me that tristate typically refers to NY, NJ, and CT (wtf?).

So to clarify for everyone saying tristate, they mean NY, NJ, and PA, it's seriously the best.
