So, I'm moving from central Ohio to Mobile, Alabama for college in about 3 weeks, and I am hoping to get into the scene there. I've been attending locals for about a month or two here in Ohio, and I am hoping that I'll be able to do similar things down in Mobile. If anyone knows of frequent tournaments or scheduled events, I am definitely going to try to be there. If there's not anything down there, I would be happy to start hosting/organizing tournaments.
Err not sure if anyone from the Bama thread has talked to you or not. JUST IN CASE
Firstly welcome to Alabama~
The area you're moving into splits a scene between East Mississippi, Pensacola and (soon to be your town) Mobile. Events will be in Mobile one month, and Pensacola the next to rotate venues and to ease driving problems. If you are big into Melee and PM then you'll have an easy time finding fellow enthusiast to play with....not so much for Sm4sh. It's still building, and the main crowd find the game quite boring but are at least giving it a shot. If you aren't against travel I'd recommend trying to travel upstate to meet your sm4sh needs (if you have them).
Cool things to look at:
