Ill be back in town by this sunday. Anybody want to meet up and smash next week? Also anybody know when the next E2C event is?
@ Triforce of Love Triforce of Love im thinkin of tryna get a smash fest going with some friends on sunday night, the skill level spread is pretty big, so there would be some more casual players, but would you be interested? or anyone for that matter?

Sorry, I've been pretty busy lately so I havent been on the boards. I probably wont be able to make it tonight because I'm doig something for mothers day. I'd definitely be down to do something anytime after this weekend tho. Is anything going down a kanela's or mad river anytime soon?

Yo, any in the Joliet, IL. area

Yo', I'm from the Joliet area, too! What side of town are you from? I'm closer to New Lenox, not too far from the race track. Are you still in town or are you currently in school?

Im in the cresthill/joliet area if anyone wants to play

I emailed the White Oak Library in CrestHill and asked if a tournament would be allowed and they agreed, I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in coming out if we did actually have a tournament.

Hey moon, you still doing events this summer? I'd love to start going to regular events to brush up and meet some new training buds in the Chicago area.

Just moved from Somonauk, IL to Plainfield. I'm pretty sure there are almost no smashers in either of these places.
I made an account just to let you know that I also live in Plainfield. ...Not sure where to go from there, I'm bad at socializing.

There is a good scene in Aurora that meets up every Friday. The page is a little dated, but Melee is first each week now, people show up around 5, tourney starts at 6:30.

I've seen this before I think. I need to get better at melee so I can actually compete in a Melee tournament....

Anyone in joliet/cresthill?
No, but I'm in Plainfield and that's pretty much the same area.

There are no skill requirements to enter. We encourage all skill levels to come and play. You don't have to enter and can just play, watch, and chat with friends. This is the best opportunity for you to meet your local scene.

I'm near Chicago, about 45 minutes south of the city. I'm from the Kankakee county area, Bradley-Bourbonnais to be specific. I'm not much of a Melee player and at this point I probably never will be. But I'm playing a lot of WiiU/3DS and I'd love to play some other Smashers around my area.

Also, my mom recently allowed me to host weekly tournaments on saturdays. Mainly for Wii U and Melee. PM and 64 are rarely done.

What's up Midwest smashers? I live in the Chicago area and I'm struggling to find any tournament action. I find it hard to believe that there isn't any smashing happening in this large city on a Saturday afternoon/evening. Can anyone help a fellow smash fiend with some info on any smash 4 going on today??

How many of you are out there? I've been looking to get dunked on so that maybe I can improve. Is there any locals in the suburbs? Preferably around Arlington Heights to like Niles. Or anywhere in the suburbs just let me know.

Hey there! I live in Glenview and I'm actually thinking of starting a Melee weekly in Vernon Hills. Nothing is confirmed as of yet, but I have gotten the green light from the manager at Gamer's World in the Vernon Hills mall to host Saturday tournaments. We have 2 27 inch CRTs and 1 Wii and 1 Game Cube. Hopefully we can get things rolling soon, but as of right now it's still just an idea. There store itself is a good size with plenty of seating, and it's in the mall so there's food as well.

Other than that, I know there are Project M and Melee weeklies at a small MTG/Board Game store in Glenview as well as Hoffman Estates. I've never been to either event, but they have a Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events2compete/

Hey guys! I'm actually in the middle of planning a Smash2/Smash4 weekly in the Vernon Hills mall. It's not in Chicago, but if you guys can make it then that's awesome. I'm thinking Saturday afternoons and we can run friendlies until we have enough people for an actual tournament.

Sorry for the double post guys, but I'm thinking of starting a Smash2/Smash4 weekly in the Vernon Hills mall. Let me know if you guys are interested! I've gotten the green light to start, but now I just need people to come!

Edit: Looks like a mod combined a few different post from different threads onto this one post, which is why it is formatted oddly.

I can also go downtown to the loop easily if people live in the loop and want to play with me (my school is in the loop so I commute there a lot). shoot me a pm if you want. I main Peach just so you know what you're getting yourself into lol
