New to Jacksonville and Smash-hungry. Who is able to satiate my hunger? I play Melee and PM. It's been a while since I've had some real competition, so please, for the love of Smash, invite me over to play. Text me any time at:

831.402.1723

Some of you Florida players may remember me from FAST1. I was in Caveman's group. We all wore One Piece shirts. I was the short guy :D

I will never play Brawl intentionally, sorry. It's just not a very good game, nor do I feel any sense of accomplishment when I win, so I don't play it.

lol. Well thats how you feel and ur not the only one lol.

I like all 3 games but I prefer brawl.

If u come to UNF gameroom in the fall there will be more people that hang out in the game room. 2 of them I know and they will play Melee/PM and so will I. :p

Not sure what UNF is. I'm not from around here. If you know anybody who plays or wants to play, especially this weekend, feel free to share my number with them.

University of North Florida (College). It has its own game room and during the fall the 2 other people who play Melee and Project M should be coming back in the fall semester. Ian also plays Melee/Project M but I haven't really seen him around. As of right now I don't think your going to find many people who will play project M with u besides Me and Ross but we mainly play Brawl so I don't think you would be interested lol.

Dang it! Am I correct in guessing that Jacksonville used to have a thriving Smash community at one point? Where in Florida is Smash still alive? I am willing to drive in order to get back into the community.

Well up in UNF there use to be people who played Melee a lot. But I never see them playing it anymore. I know some of them went into the military. But Melee/Project M is still being played competitively in FL. Just look in the Atlantic South portion of Tournament Listings on the boards and you will find some Melee/Project M tournies. I know Hungrybox goes to a lot of them and brawl tournaments. :p

That was a great idea! I found a tourney tomorrow that Hungrybox is hosting actually. I'm hoping for a good turnout.

Thanks for the invite, but I was stuck on my ship for the tournament. If you could get me in touch with Fizzi, I'd really appreciate it.

Usually not playing Brawl. Location: Enterprise
Jacksonville has never had a thriving community, which has always been ridiculous because it's a big city. You could attempt to change that (the timing is pretty right with Evo just past.)

Orlando, Gainesville, Miami have been the pretty big places for smash in FL history. Tampa, Ft. Myers, Pensacola, and Tallahassee have a smaller scene.

EDIT: Welcome to Florida!

Everything this guy has said...........


There is someone who is trying to increase the Brawl community in Jacksonville although not much people are helping him :p. His name is Ved.

Melee is pretty much gone in Jacksonville. Although me and ross play it.

there should be proj. m tournaments coming this fall (when Tyler aka Dubforce/ellondu starts hosting)

The problem w/ Melee is that NO ONE ****ing shows up to any tournament (then they complain that there's no events) and none of them want to publicly announce fests or just have fests in public places

if you play melee and you show up to any brawl event you will most likely be able to play w/ someone or even have a side-tournament for melee

I've enjoyed traveling to Jax to partake in these past two tourneys. Mostly because they're small and my skill level is on parity there, I suppose. More people should go to Ved's tourneys. I liked Play & Trade and I liked the people at Gorilla Games.

As for Tallahassee, would be nice to pay a visit to Florida's capital at least once :3

Duuude I hope you not be talking bout my fellow ho. He wurks the streets hard with what he has. His Peach has over 100 STDs. 100!

Anyhow, after buying Pikmin 3 and eventually Splinter Cell, I'll be going to one tourney this month. And I'm going to have to go with Jax on this one. Please make an appearance G-munhun <3

his peach is the best in FL (no matter how much people wanna say it's not... and as much as i hate to admit)

i just wish he'd play ICs against better players and not drop grabs

idk if i'll be there. I don't get back until 8/24 i think.. when is our next tourney anyways?

I dont really go up there anymore but if need be I can, I just moved back to mandarin from orange park so the drive isnt as bad as it was before. Usually when we play theres only 2-4 of us and we play at my house or fizzis house. Im sure he wouldnt mind more people joining up I certainly wouldnt. When are you available? Im free on the weekends and late during the week.

well funny thing. I'm going today to play brawl/(some melee) with the jax brawl community (ross and goof will play melee) at goofball's house and then later we are going to UNF.If yall wanted to you could meet up with us when we get together. Even though most of us only play brawl some of us will play melee to.

Well, being the "best" is totally subjective. But I agree, his Peach is a monster. I don't like to compare or say "This person is better than that one" or this that and the other because I honestly don't think anyone has a place to be determining such a thing even if you're the Queen of England. The only other Peach in FL that devastates me is Goofball (and plays a really amazing Ness imo). Never played Kyon who I heard was "the best" but I just roll my eyes at that or anyone saying someone's the best. Creates too much debate and fights over a damn game. But I digress.

I'd like to know when the next Jax tournament is. Friendly group of peoples <3

Figures huh Daisy? Smash was a lot easier when I lived with Ian lol. Now Im in the middle of OP and UNF. But yes I'd definitely be down to play melee/ project m with you guys. I suck at Brawl and generally don't have much interest in it besides watching but that's ok because I do like to watch people who ARE good. Just Text me or send me a message, Im free pretty much Friday and Saturday all day.

Do you happen to play on Wi-Fail?
Lag doesn't really bother me (and my connection has been stable recently too for Smash). Daisy often hangs around AiB's chatroom to play online. That's if you can handle potential lag and of course, for convenience :3

Myself and a couple of friends of mine are really bad at melee but need some better players to level up. Trying to get more people interested, I know a good 4-5 that are willing to put in the time to learn.

Where are you located? If you and your friends are near UNF why not drop by the gameroom once the fall semester starts (week of Aug 26)? We'd love to see some new blood and we have players of all skill levels! ;)

There's also a 'tournament' of sorts next Sunday (focus is Proj. M tho all smashers/games are welcome). Information can be located here: http://smashboards.com/threads/unf-...fest-august-25th-2013-jacksonville-fl.339680/
