I assume this is the right place to post this.

I just moved to CT and am looking for some people to play/tourneys to attend (for Melee).

Brookman, are you compiling a list or something?

Regardless, I'm in New Haven, so if anyone nearby (or anywhere in CT, really) wants to play over the weekends or something, just PM me.

Haha, yeah, I rarely get on smashboards, and, even when I do, I usually just lurk.

I noticed the Wallingford tourneys in the tourney listings, but I missed the one that happened on the 25th. I'll attend the next one though, whenever that is.

As for myself, I'm originally from Texas (the DFW area specifically), where the Melee scene is essentially dead. I started playing seriously, by which I mean taking the time to learn how to wavedash/SHFF/L-cancel/other advanced techs, in 2006, but never had time to attend the big tourneys. I've been to a few local events (the few that are ever held) and played a few good players like DoH, ARC, Bluezaft, and Wobbles (though I'm pretty sure none of them remember me). The pinnacle of my Smash career was essentially taking a few stocks off Darkrain in friendlies. That said, I'm glad to be in the Atlantic North now, where the Melee scene is hopefully more vibrant than it was in Dallas.

I main Fox and play a mediocre Falco/Marth as secondaries (yes, I'm a top-tier *****).

School usually keeps me busy during the weekdays, but I can always make time for Melee on the weekends (well, almost always).

Curiously, about how long does it take to get to Hartford from New Haven by taxi? I'd love to play you (or anyone, really). And would you happen to know of any Melee events coming up in the near future?

Sup Brookmangz?

Bein' serious about that meleez now?

Good to hear.
:3 <3 CT.

But I'm in Worcester MA during school T.T;

I live in Killingworth, CT! Shoreline/middle CT. New Haven/Middletown all within a good distance of me, and Hartford is just a little farther out.

Mewtwo/Sheik main :3~

As for a Taxi from Hartford to New Haven? That would cost a ****ton. Grab a train or bus if you have no other way to get there.

Taxi's really **** you over. Trains **** you over unless you get a montly/10 ride pass.

As far as how long a Taxi would take.... Google Maps broseph.

Next CT Tournament is November 13th, Hall of Gaming #2.

I'm not sure that this thread is going to be about cataloging players as much as just organizing fests/tournaments.

you haven't seen it cause I just made it and havent had time to really do anything with it.

CCSU Fridays are some of the best Smashfests I've been to! Mine are the best though, the only 48 hour straight smashfest I've ever been to.

Brawl has been present in these weeklies, but only in the form of PROJECT M!! DD Has brought it for us to play. I don't think anyone there has any interest in playing normal brawl.

I thought that was a typo of some sort. Do as you wish, but be prepared to sit in a corner all by your lonesome. Ya, friday night I'm definitely down for this.

Why can't you guys make the fest last longer but starting it earlier in the day or on a saturday or something esp since the place closes at 11!? Normally I have nothing to do on Fridays but today and maybe next week I can't do anything on Friday. God this is so frustrating!

Oh.

kupo (LOWER CASE please :))

Ganon main, falcon 2nd (ok I guess) doc 3rd (decent I guess)

Just moved here to Hartford 2 months ago from S. Jersey. Going to pick up one of those cute asians Swift is talking about if I ever get to these Fests.
