I'm pretty sure the smash scene has been dying since the disease came out a few months ago. I think it was gonorrhea.. err I mean brawl.

Or people who do more complaining than helping.
>_> Poffy, I'd hate to think you missed one of Jam's huge posts[I think it was Jam] about how CT's smash scene was never too awesome and its just dying off because of the lack of competitive drive that say, NJ has.
<_< Seriously, just realizing it now Poffy? You're a silly kid.

Well, at one point, we did have bi-weekly meets and monthly tournaments going on in CT.

No seriously. Most states have a tournament every few months or so. :[

CT smash isn't dying at all what? This month alone was LLHS2, ESTICLE 13, NFB4, and a bi-weekly tournament in Hamden. 4 tournaments in one month 2 Melee, 2 Brawl?....sounds kinda good to me.

You know how many times it's started pouring when I walk the ten minutes from my job at Fort McNair to the metro station to get home? I'm not even saying it was raining beforehand, I'm saying it STARTS raining as soon as I walk out the door. Every time this happens I get on the metro soaking wet and looking like a complete moron because no one knows it's raining outside because it just ****ing started soon as I left my job.

It's not the fact that it's DYING it's more the fact that everyone is kind of moving on and I do not think there is enough drive from our newer/younger players to keep it going strong. The tourney scene in CT solely relies on our new players to keep it going strong. So Cat Fight (where the **** is he?) noodles, nana, etc are the future of the CT players. Seriously, just take a look at the "CT Thread" About half the people on here are not even from CT (No offense to you guys.)

All have stopped playing Smash Brothers dramatically. It's either this, they quit, it's difficult for them to attend tournies or they just play for fun and do not want to compete. (I know for a fact that Aesir was debating on quitting and DD along with him. Or were you joking Nick?) Most of us are growing up, have jobs, girlfriends, and much more important things to do. Most of us started playing this game around 15 or 16...maybe earlier and it's kind of getting to the point where it is time to move on. I myself am even becoming a part of this slowly. Lately I find that I only have time for maybe one day a week of smash while I used to play a good 3-4 days a week easily. I want to get better and such but I just do not have the time to put into it anymore. I mean....just take a look at Cort and PC.....do you guys think they play as much as they used to? I doubt that. I'm not talking about Melee, Brawl, or Smash brothers dying....I'm talking about CT.
Where have the tournaments/smashfests been in CT aside from my Melee tournaments and Nana and Moon-Doggies Brawl tournies??? (Which most of CT is not attending.) Non-existent. Yes, there is SPAWNS in Janurary....but thats quite a ways away, agreed?
Also-You always find a way to keep me right here waiting lawls.

I'm using the word serious as a way to define being competitive which means traveling to tourneys and wanting to get better.

These are really the only people who travel A lot.
And for the record I was thinking about quitting and don't give me that no johns **** play this game for 3 years and then 2 of those years where you spent dedicated and traveled.
Just these past few months I've been to tri-state with sean and trade numerious times and I've been up to mass I've gone as far as Maryland to play this game.
So to I was completely justified to feel like quitting for taking last a tourney I shouldn't have taken last in.
If I actually quit though then you could have ragged on me.

I don't mean to be an ***...but you cannot talk about the community if you have not been in it for more than 2 years. I have known these people for a while and we have always known that CT could be good...but CT is more friendly than competitive and that is how it is.

I think it is more of the fact that people don't listen to me because they write me off as, "That guy who makes bad posts." This is not a direct attack at anyone, stop.

I entirely read your posts...I am saying you don't know or understand what you are talking about.
There are not many people in this state that are "good" and the ones that are do not care.
Edit//You cannot say this is not an attack when only 3 people have posted since you have...that is just bad arguing.

CAN WE SAY I THREE TO FOUR SHOT MS WARRIORS?
roflrofl
But seriously, though. Look at the rest of the patch, man. Blizzard's going for the MvC2 approach: Let's make every class in the game broken in some way. Mages, for instance, are ridicu-**** with Arcane now; can you say I cast the equivalent of two Arcane Missiles in one cast and each missile does 1.5 to 2 times damage?
And btw, I only know this much about the game because I read about it and my best friend has a very unhealthy obsession with it. I've played it, but I never got past level twenty myself. Got too bored.
And why in the **** am I talking about WoW? Somebody kill me.

I was one shotted by a palli today. I play a rogue. I was one shotted by a mage to day (WTF UBER POMPYRO WITH LIVING BOOM!?!?!?!?!). I have both s2 maces and i was sad when I was respecing to see I no longer stun spec 
there went 30k honor.... I can one shot some clothies once in a while with killing spree though. Poisons proc off of it and you still get auto attacks, and each shot can crit >.<

I think CT should take an example from FL and just enjoy brawl.
Man I hate FL's smash community so much...

No one thinks it's an attack dude. You posted your thoughts and everyone discussed, that's the point of this thread really. You've brought this up before and you get the same response what do you expect? Also almost half the people on that list still play competitively.

Mhmmmm. Very true.
I will say this though. It is not as lively as when I first came around. Much more activity then and in all areas too. Discussion, tournaments, smash fests, attitudes, etc.
Whatever though, moving on....
I want to play Brawl actually. Noodles-want to play today for a few hours in the afternoon?
Don't worry, I just want to play it for like twenty minutes maybe. lol

Suck it Nintendo. Seriously, for some mystical reason I saw that email from Nintendo last night on my Wii and ALMOST felt like upgrading. But then I remembered that Nintendo likes it in the rear and is clearly against homebrew. Haha, my Wii is still top tier.

One of my closest friends used to play WoW quite a bit and had a level 70 before he stopped playing 6 or so months ago. I convinced him to quit, but that new expansion is coming out soon and I don't know if he can help himself....
Not wanting to travel =/= not wanting to improve. Ironically enough, the best people in CT (Brookman, Nus, Pipe) are the ones that travel the least.
I still love Smash, but I don't love being in a car for hours. I'm a local Smasher; I've only gone OoS for tournaments like twice, and that was to Mass. I've always been skeptical of the necessity for OoS tournaments in determining skill. If you want to be recognized on a regional level, then of course you have to attend regional events. But most of us in CT still can't beat Brookman, so why worry about doing well OoS if you can't even do well in-state?
Garrett, before you can really complain about CT Smash, you have to beat some of us. My post a while ago wasn't bashing CT Smash, but was just a (thinly veiled, I thought) rant against Brawl. KevinM and Zoso live in the wasteland of RI, and I don't think I've seen them complain ever about lack of tournaments. It should be a requirement that before anyone complains about CT Smash or mentions how much they travel, that they be able to place top 3 in an in-state event. Otherwise, it's really just meaningless.

Fair enough.
Rhode Island is kind of a special case in that it's basically a suburb of Connecticut and Mass. I wouldn't mind having more tournaments within 20 minutes of me, but I'm smart enough to recognize that I have it a lot better than players in Texas who have to drive 4 hours to get to the next town.
To be fair, the upper ranks of CT tournaments are usually filled out by Maine, New York, and the like. Using the last Esticle as an example, you might be able to **** 99% of CT, but that's no guarantee that you'll be able to put up a fight against Cort, Darc, or Jman.
And yeah, I'm sure I'm better than the vast majority of CT players, but I really don't regard my own opinion as having more weight than anybody else's.
