could someone post up some information on what goes on there

smashfests
tournaments
etc

hopfully someday soon i would like to head on there i just would like some info thanks ;]

 

[MTGod]

Well, it all depends on where you want to be in Australia I can only give you info on the Perth scene as I personally haven't been over East, so hopefully an Easterner can shed light on their scenes for you

For the Perth scene (West coast of Aus), our average tournament turn out is about 20, and we have a few decent quality players as you will see by SQUAT and Rocky results, two recent Aus national tournaments... We do hold a few smashfests as well, not sure how they compare with the frequency of Eastern smashfests, but to guess it's probably one every 2-3 weeks approximately (same goes for tournaments)... As for the people, I'd like to say we have a fairly diverse community personality-wise :D Most of us are friendly

AFAIK there's plans for a few major Aus tournaments (nationals) later on this year... I know Perth's looking at having one in early 2011 as well, which we are trying to make as big as humanly possible, so do keep that in mind :D

Whichever you choose, Australia's awesome, you'll love it ^^

If you're into Melee - QLD/VIC/NSW
If you're into Brawl - NSW/VIC

This is not to disrespect the other states (seriously if any of you took offense to that in WA, SA, or QLD, go smash yourself with a baseball bat), but Victoria and New South Wales generally are larger so Melbourne and Sydney (the respective capitals) are generally the highest attendance.

That being said, at our last national, the winner of Brawl came from Western Australia. Winner of Melee came from QLD. You need heaps of information to go on here depending on your preferences and other stuff (like not just Smash, but places you want to see). The next national is in Melbourne called Robocop, the event before that held last year (called Rocky) was awesome to attend so that also might be worth looking into.

I'm tired and spewing out random info. Muh.

 

[TakFR]

Come to Melbourne or Sydney for good melee scenes =)

 

[Darkwing SykeDuk]

for a real melee scene come to brisbane.. but if you play brawl.. stay out of brisbane <3

 

[Allied]

Come to Melbourne bro, we have the keen hook-up. We'll get you whatever you need, hookers, money ... hookers, smash bros, what ever you need.

We also boast the might Cao who is amazing Melee guy.

 

[CAOTIC]

Melbourne, Robocop Q4 2010, everyone will be going to it. It's predecessor was > Genesis, Pound 4, you name it. Just follow this:

Ken, Captain Jack have visited here before and like the place

 

[Pete278]

And you know what? EI3 will totes beat it, because we have Mic.

 

[Zero]

omg 100% juice

BRINGS SNAKEEE ALONG! :D

 

[EverAlert]

NSW is the best, great scenes for both games, near-half-weekly meets, tournaments usually at least every month, highest concentration of good players in the country (for Brawl anyway, not sure about Melee but we have some **** Melee players too), etc.

Be sure to stop by sometime.


Also a bunch of us are planning to go over to America again this year, which will probably include Apex 2. **** will be good times.

 

[tibs7]

with this madt ho chiks thing, adelaide (SA) are the best for that, but that place cant really entertain you soo dw bout that. But Victoria, we have madt hot chiks to and things to entertain you for a very very long time.
Pretty sure Victoria has 3 tournies per month, so if you really want smash and some real quality players you come to us

 

[TakFR]

Melbourne has Tibz, you can go raving with him and **** =D

Plus were pretty good at those smash bros games, also we have the next Major tourney

 

[Dekar289]

Fixd.

[Sirias]

If you're gonna come to Aus...
Why the f*** would you come for Smash...?
Lol.
Jk.
... No not really.

Brisbane is fail for everything, except lazing about in the sun and doing crud all. c:
TANNING TIME~

No wonder I'm so depressed living here. Barley anything interests me on the other side.

 

[Allied]

Haha it would be more a side thing, since i usually travel for smash anyway i really wanna come to check out aus sometime i've always heard really good things ! :]

 

[Sieg]

Don't listen to that kid, he hates everything.

Yeah, Aus is pretty nice. It's a good place for a holiday.

You'll have fun pretty much anywhere you go. Except maybe Darwin. lol.

 

[Nova]

Darwin is awesome. Hot, humid, stormy and has the chance of getting the odd Cyclone/Hurricane.

Oh wait I'm the only one that gives a **** about that.

Sydney > Brisbane > Canberra > Perth > Darwin > Melbourne > Hobart >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Adelaide.

This isn't in terms of Smash level though 'cause Melbourne would be 1st or 2nd. I just don't like it there. Larger version of Adelaide ftl.

 

[Pete278]

If you go to Darwin, go during monsoon season. That's when all the fun stuff happens, like the floods.

 

[Zero]

Go to Melbourne if you like cold, dreary, depressing weather.

Go to Queensland if you like good weather.

Go to Sydney if you're awesome.



and bring snakeee along

Hey, in that third last line, you misspelt Perth. I don't know how you typoed it as 'Sydney', but you did somehow. Ah, such silly mistakes on smashboards.

 

[Zero]

I guess I did misspell Hunter Valley, didn't I?

 

[C~Dog]

Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne IMO. Make your way down the East Coast and end up in Melbourne for the grand finale, Robocop! Wooo!

 

[CAOTIC]

I like it how everyone's making weather comparisons about Australia when there is nowhere in Australia that offers an ideal climate, like a year-long dry Southern California/Mediterranian one, which he could get back in the states.

Anyway, I would recommend the entire east coast of Australia as well, as it's the main tourist trail, covers the majority of Australia where people live, and there are strong differences between the major cities. They all have different strengths, so if you don't like one you'll like the other. Or you can probably like them all.

Sydney is the preferred international gateway to Australia, Melbourne is the preferred alternative to Sydney, and the rest of the cities are more stereotypically Aussie.

In blatant american terms:

Sydney is like a prettier Los Angeles
Melbourne is like a flat and hipster San Francisco
Gold Coast is like a wannabe Miami/Orlando happy land
Cairns has tropical **** like Hawaii
Adelaide is like the midwest (everybody avoids it or flies over it)
and Perth is like Alaska, since it's that much further from everything else.

You can get wallabies and hot chicks everywhere.

I've been to the US like 12 times (Puerto Rico is technically a territory, so I'm counting 80% of my trips there).

It's valid.
In my own mind anyway.

Also, lol @ the Adelaide comparison. Soooooooooooooooo true. Adelaide is the city of corpses. Serial killing capital of Australia. You will DIE if you come here.

 

[Sieg]

Pfft.

Hawaii is about 20 billion times better than Cairns.

 

[EverAlert]

****it Cao, I'll superior traveller you...!

Nah lol it's so true.

Anyway, I will readily admit Melbourne is definitely the most interesting and vibrant city I've been to in Australia, in terms of culture.

But in terms of smash - Sydney all the way, baby!

 

[D.J Cat]

Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne IMO. Make your way down the East Coast and end up in Melbourne for the grand finale, Robocop! Wooo!

That and what Cao said are the good advice.
I also recomend Tassie (NOT for Smash though, for holiday etc)


If you come to QLD I can most probably house ya and even drive ya ****.
We are probably the most relaxed scene, we have a good mix if Bi-Smashuality (we play both games) and good players at both games, but mostly you'll have fun with us.
Oh, and if you play N64 this is the place to be

 

[tibs7]

if you want to pay like 20 bucks for a ride on a train, go t sydney

 

[CAOTIC]

Pfft.

Hawaii is about 20 billion times better than Cairns.

Get a scuba license and dive the reef then come back to me and say it again with a straight face. <3 Cairns IS the reef experience, the town itself is rather dull besides the various clubs that dot the place and the backpackers that make it otherwise. Otherwise, yes Hawaii is about 20 billion times better than Cairns in everything else, I'm going there for a week later this year, i'll send you a postcard!

Oh and Nova! PR is a sovereign state of the US, I know! But it's not the 'real' America. I've lived there for all up 4 years. Hopefully I'll make it to PR sometime too, for the awesome Smash scene of course.

 

[luke_atyeo]

lol no one could even spare a thought for poor poor canberra...

I'll agree with you on that basis, not saying that Hawaii wasn't a good water experience.

Mum is heading there in March for like her 8th time of something lol. I've been 3.

Amazing place, really. Climbing Diamond Head was spectacular.

 

[Leisha]

Lawl, yeah. Train tickets in sydney really **** my moneys >_> Thats the only thing i really hate about sydney xD other then that, its still okay =3

ahhahaha Albany in NY my bad haha

still plan on coming sometime soon tho

 

[Nixernator]

Hahah listen to CAO dude, everyone else here is just blatantly bias to their city. He knows what you should be looking for, lotta experience.

Personally, I'd say QLD. Beaches, tropics, the lot but I'm not sure what you're looking for.
