Hello.
The Who & What
I'm Zipzo. I live in Japan (where I found my beautiful wife). At heart I've always been a huge Super Smash Bros fan. I'd really like to get a strong community going here that's comprised of folks who go to Smashboards (or hell, anyone really).
I'm considering going for a proof of concept (both with this post and the actual event itself) by hosting a tournament here in Tokyo. If it turns out well, I would definitely make it a regular thing, and I would even look in to spot reservations that are more fitting (and sizeable) than my home to play at. For the first run, I'm not expecting a huge turn out or anything so I think my apartment will have to do.
I'm looking to breed and cultivate a strong, consistent, English-friendly community over here in Japan. I am mostly interested in hosting Melee, Project M, and Brawl, but I am not against the presence of the N64 version, but I lack any kind of N64 or the game itself. I know it's available at a few shops in Akihabara so I'm not against acquiring it if there's enough demand but we'll see.
The Where
The first tournament I'm planning to host will be at my home. It's a reasonably sized apartment meant for one couple but we've crammed lots of folks in before. We have a reasonably sized TV, and places to sit/stand.
If this meet-up goes well I'm planning on looking in to spots that I can get on a weekly or bi-weekly basis for some smash.
My nearest Station is Gotanno. I live practically a 30 second walk from that station. If you've never been past that station, it's 2 stations north of Kita-senju, which you can reach taking the Hibiya line.
The When
I recently acquired fiber optic internet (200 down, 100 up) and I'm planning to make a stream out of this if it ends up bringing in enough smashers. That internet will not be implemented for another (at most) 1 and a half weeks due to scheduling of the technician. I'm shooting between the dates of May 21st-June 5th. I leave for on a trip to Thailand on June 6th and I will return on the 14th or so, looking to host more (or any).
The Nitty Gritty
I have but one Wii U and one copy of Super Smash Bros Brawl (and as a result, Project M), which means no GC slots. I also have a PC that comfortably runs Super Smash Bros Melee, Project M, and Super Smash Bros Brawl (and potentially Smash 64 but no controller adapter to speak of there), but obviously controllers are an issue.
Essentially what this means is I will need volunteers with equipment in order to really kick start this event, because my equipment is not exactly as ideal as the good ol'e cube when it comes to Melee. Again, there are shops in Akihabara that have these things easily obtainable, so I'm not against the idea of acquiring the materials to make this happen only if there happens to be enough interest in this becoming a regular thing.
I'm thinking we could do a cash prize tournament. I will do all the dirty work with setting up a bracket and all the organizational details beforehand because I'm thinking that every entree could go down 500y-1000y then we could have a respectable earnings for the winner for our very first tournament, but I'm down for a friendly fest for our first time out as well. Rulesets will be the standards observed in many of the most prolific tournaments held in North America, and recognized by the Smash Boards as the "Standard".
In conclusion...
How many folks would be interested in making something like this happen? Then ultimately making it a regular thing? I'm just mostly gauging interest here, as I'd really like to get a regular smash community that's open to english speaking smashers going here in Tokyo.
Thanks for the read, let me know what you think.
