Been wondering, just how big is the Project: M scene anyways?

In my hometown you can find it at the local university's "Bash" where you will see just about any kind of game being played there- including Project M by the Smash community. I personally practice with the decent amount of Smash friends I have, but I was wondering if anyone out there has big meet ups or what have you

Also, my not be able to wear it as it was too big and short, but I hang my shirt proudly ^-^ Do post your experiences with your local Project M community c:

 

[Thane of Blue Flames]

Yeah, I wish I had a P:M community to speak of ...

 

[lami]

Living in MD/VA we have a very healthy PM scene from the weekly tournaments and smashfests at Xanadu and Jcaesar's house respectively. Also, MD/VA is so close to Jersey and New York it makes travel to any of those tournies easy.

 

[Ginge]

My only P:M exposure is back at my college. But I'm out of school now, so I only visit now and then. It just sucks because it's a 90 minute trip each way if I want to go for the day. And either costs $20 in gas or $30 in train tickets. The guys there range from "Melee is better" to "I only play Brawl" to "Dear god is Project M amazing. Why play any other Smash?".

So it depends on who's there and at one time during the day if I were to visit. But generally we get an hour of Brawl and a few hours of Project M in each time. There are about 20 of us total that come together and play the game. The problem is the Wii in the lounge is busted and randomly shuts off now. So I'd need to bring mine with me each time I came up to actually enjoy it.

All in all, it is worth the trip when I do go. A much better time than fighting computers when I'm at home. The group I'd normally game with doesn't really have people at my level in Smash (they'd play, but I'd have to be my worst character/s or with a handicap). The one that was moved to the other end of the country.

 

[Saito]

Ahahahahaha. There hardly is a Melee/Brawl scene in my town let alone a Project M scene.

Just for these reasons I hate you so much.

 

[Ginge]

Living in Jersey is nice.... If I ever got into the tournament scene, I could take advantage of the nearby tournaments.

 

[CORY]

dfw master race, here.

there's so much smash going on that i'm surprised oracle gets anything done at school.

 

[Thane of Blue Flames]

Can some of you Smashers move to Ithaca kthxbai

 

[standardtoaster]

There is no smash scene here in Eau Claire. I started a smash club for project m at UWEC last semester and am only getting like 1-2 regulars who are potentially interested in competitive play. Starting up a scene takes a lot of work and the reward is nowhere near instant, unfortunately. If possible I'd love to be in minneapolis, madison, or chicago, haha.

 

[Peño]

To my knowledge there is almost no Project M scene where I live (San Francisco Bay Area). There's a small Brawl/Melee scene, but I don't know if anyone's even heard of PM here.

 

[Ginge]

Considering San Francisco is a tech mecca, I'd imagine there's a P:M scene there.

Now you know how I feel in Colorado
Yeah I know we have that big tournament in the Summer (not sure what it's called) and some scenes in town but I can't get to them especially since my truck broke down recently

I understand California's really big, but you're probably decently close to someone.

[guedes the brawler]

I live in Brazil.

the Ps2 dominated here thanks to piracy, so not only the Gamecube was almost completely DEAD over here... Melee never took off, and neither did Brawl. I doubt more than 50 people play PM in the whole country.

The very same happened here in Venezuela, theres probably like 80 active melee players in the country, and they try their best to keep melee alive in my country, so they really don't pay much if any attention at all to PM, not to mention the majority don't have time to sink in or they don't have a gamecube, so its pretty limited, but i have been able to convert my friend into a regular, so all hope is not lost

 

[Rikana]

Good man. You purchased a PM vneck shirt.

 

[arcticfox8]

Hahahahahaha
Video games in Kentucky?
hahahahahahaha

 

[SSS]

i live in Orange County and SoCal's melee scene is super sexy. The PM scene is growing.

 

[Rizner]

I'm in Cincinnati and have gone to plenty of KY tournaments. Interested in joining the KY facebook pages for smash?

 

[Empyrean]

Yo Montreal here. From what I've seen, the PM scene is pretty non-existent.

I think most of the KY people are in Lexington or Louisville (or at least that's the two locations with the most frequent tournaments). There's a pretty big tournament on the 15th there, too, but I'm not able to go to it. If you're looking to meet people from the area I'd say go there and get to know them.

 

[Daftatt]

I used to think there wasn't a scene in olympia, but I found a few people on the forums, then I posted flyers at the local college, and in a month we had about 20 people that played P:M, with about 10 people at the weeklies at my house. If there is no scene in your town it's not terribly hard to get one started.

Yeah it seems SoCal has got a little more activity than NorCal for PM. I'd be happy for someone to prove me wrong.

I'm pleasantly surprised. Thanks.

 

[Tryst]

I used to live up in Hillsboro OR Area (Moderate PM Scene) before I started playing competitively and now that I do, I had to move into the middle of nowhere smash wise. >,< I have played PM with 2 of my "Friends" but lets just say that they were less than casual players...

 

[Saito]

South cal has a good scene.

Too bad my city in SoCal has a small scene at least from what I know.

Sure theres plenty of good scenes close around but as a guy with no transportation there might as well be no scene.

 

[CodeSauce]

I live in Ohio, and know basically no one interested in playing competitive smash in general.

 

[The_Altrox]

How are the members of the smash community atm?
I remember when I used to go to Brawl tournaments, most everybody was nice.
When I played at Melee tournaments, people were more often than not pretty nice.
But what about today? I'm a casual, but I'm going to a big PM tourney for the sake of charity donation/having fun/playing better smashers.

 

[Thane of Blue Flames]

We have killed all the nice people and are now a community of pricks. You will be shunned and very possibly mugged.

Or maybe we're just smartasses now

Well then...

I went to the Melee Weekly's once and played some PM friendlies so that's...something?
Polybash and STYC have PM tourney's as part of their lineup, at least.

I think I might need to look a bit better then. I know that people know about PM, in fact, I'm pretty sure one of the backroomers lives here or something. I didn't know about that last part though. As soon as I get some free time on my hands, with college (I have actually seen people actually play PM at my college) and everything, I'll try to do something.

You should join the FB group if you're not part of it already, even if they're predominantly about Melee https://www.facebook.com/groups/124585747604393/
Also yeah there's a backroomer here, I met him when I went to the Weekly's. Pretty cool guy, he wrecked my **** though lol

Round what area? o:

Round what area? o:

Central Ohio, the greater Columbus area near Gahanna.

 

[210stuna]

So much hype in the DFW area

Texas reporting in this thread with all systems goooooo

 

[The_Altrox]

Central Ohio, the greater Columbus area near Gahanna.

There's a big tourney going on in Columbus. Shuffle 5. Even if you didn't want to compete, there will be friendlies and entry profit goes to charity.

 

[Rizner]

Does everyone in the Midwest have trouble finding groups to play with? There are plenty in columbus who play, and I actually went to a smashfest there from Cincinnati just yesterday. Would you like the Columbus smash facebook page? I believe they ahve weekly smashfests as well as plan to attend both a pre-shuffle practice thing in Columbus next weekend and Shuffle on the 22nd.


Actually, just so you have it, Columbus: https://www.facebook.com/groups/302630169803625/
