How well is your melee scene going?

Here at UConn, there's probably like 6-7 people that play melee and from what I hear a couple are graduating. I guess milktea is around somewhere (I think I saw her once) but I haven't talked to her and I haven't heard anything about her playing anymore.

There's a slightly larger number of people that play brawl or brawl +.

Passable scene I guess.

I live out in bum****t egypt

the closest "scene" for me is in goddamn columbus

but apparently it's doing ok

still more barwl centric though :|

You aren't hopelessly far, my post is about NEOH... So even if you're in SEOH it's 3 hours tops. But you're right about columbus needing to get itself together.

I am brand spanking new to this game, and I must say, everyone find a couple scrubs and train them. As awful as it is, the scrubs are the future of this game. Make sure that you encourage them though, it sucks losing every single game, but I still think this is the greatest game ever. Make sure you are available to them when they have questions and stuff. I know that if every scrub has as much fun as I do with this game, there would be a lot more of us. Also, to the tip top players, no matter how painful it may be, play with us scrubs, and not just in money matches. We really appreciate the effort, and it makes us feel more into the community, and more willing to line the pots with our money :D OH and message to other scrubs, make sure YOU reach out to others too. People will like playing you because you aren't God at this game, and may be willing to try a more competitive setting. Just some thoughts from some random

Gainesville is a great smash region. I'm lucky to be surrounded by good players.

We get 10+ melee players at my home every week. Our organized monthlies average around 25 players. The worst we've done is 16. The best we've done is a little over 30.

Brawl pretty much doesn't exist in my city.

We kinda wreck stuff up with Melee here in Tucson.

I expect at my next UofA tournament, we should have 24+ players most likely. It's really cool to play fast-paced exciting match ups like Pikachu vs Falcon in the Student Union TV Lounge. You get people who come up and say they remember or learned how to wavedash and stuff. Sometimes they'll even come to the tournaments and become avid members of the community, like in AZ, since the start of the semester, we've got Tipper, Book, Dylan, StretchNutz, and Sunnyside who are playing frequently enough.

Back during breaks, in SoCal...we have Stab's local tournaments ranging from like 16 to 35 people.

Also, I really like your attitude WatchYourRadar. That is the mindset to take. I am guilty of putting on the pain train, but whenever I can I try to teach people little unimportant tricks (silly useless things like short hopping or how to recover). It's really hard sometimes, but we gotta put our egos aside and go easy on newer players outside of tourneys.

The pain train is okay sometimes, one of the most entertaining things to me is watching my falco fly through the air and be like, O.O how did you do that!? That is what makes melee so cool. All the awesome combos and stuff. But no scrub wants to stay that way forever! And its up to you good players to teach us the ropes and hope that we succeed in tourney and against other people. Really bond as a crew and support each other, like a family :D
