Smash Ace
This has been floating around in my head for a few weeks now
I really want to know why organizers of tournaments like ACL, Buttonsmash or anything SA,WA or ACT related, don't get international players over
Now hear me out before you say something like, "Victoria is the Smash Capital of Australia!"
The Aussie smash scene has had very few international players come over in its years of existing, sure OOS players go to said VIC tourneys but there are many players (Mostly players who have been in the scene for less than a year or players who can't afford flights to a tournament) who have not have not met these players, which for many is very disappointing if one of their favourite players had come to that tournament. One of the main reasons (from what I've noticed at least) is that some, if not most tournament organizers are going to say something like "Well we don't have enough money to bring these players out!" Well I'm pretty sure Redact didn't have enough money to pay for both Lucky and Armada's flight. Most Tournament Organizers are most likely not going to ask for money because they think it won't work, but look at what happens in the USA, players like OverTriforce and Javi have gotten out to places like Apex and EVO.
And I reckon that there will be many arguements so here are some arguements against those arguements
"Victoria is the Smash Capital of Australia!" Well yes, but as SSV proved Victorians aren't the best at every game, I have a feeling that Perth might want a PM player over like Pink Fresh or ZeRo, but this doesn't happen.
"To much money" As I have said before, fundraisers work pretty damn well, and have gotten players like Armada to SSV
"Not every player could make it to these tournaments in other states with international players" Not everyone could make it to SSV could they?
"There won't be as much attendance!" International players could give these tournaments more attendance, I'm pretty sure most Australians want to meet international players who haven't been to Australia!
Please don't kill me
