There is a discord for STL smash 4, and the FB group for Melee is really good about posting Tournaments well ahead of time. There is a community already, you just gotta find them lol. If you want links to the discord (they post events weekly) just PM and I can send you a link. BarWarz, GameHaven, and Realms of Gaming, as well as a few of the colleges in STL host tournaments, you just gotta look around a bit ahah. I go to the Realms of Gaming Weekly when I can which is in Troy, IL every sunday around 3 p.m. Hit up ZGuh, Quilly and a few others whose name escape me, They do a lot of TOing. I'm hoping to be moving into an APT in South city here in a month or two and I'm gonna start hosting small little things there for practice purposes as I need all the help I can get.
