Wow, nice read, it's a very nice 2011 recap, it's fun to see lots of pics too :)

I would like to say though, Smash Till you Crash 2 was held in Montreal, Quebec

Was always so sad that FC1 had only 97 people. :p

Always a fun read, thanks for doing it!

Yeah, a lot of that happened in 2010... I think there were five or six tourneys of between 80-99 entrants.

Very awesome as usual Juggleguy.

I think you should include a bit about just how big livestreaming has gotten in the community in 2011. There are dozens of channels now and someone is always streaming Melee on twitch.tv. Concurrent viewer counts in the thousands, first time it happened at The Big House, ROM having a popular stream, streaming becoming the standard at tournaments, etc.
