So how many people here go to tournaments? There's 2 tournaments every week where I live. We even have monthlies. So that's like 9 tournaments a month.

There's no scene where I live though I've been trying to start one.
At my high school, there was a club that played Smash 4 every Thursday, but they always wanted to play 8-player smashes. I eventually did get them to do tournaments (which I always won :grin:), but now I'm going to college. Hopefully there is a Smash 4 scene in Davis.
Other than that, I used to do online tournaments (the next best thing), but then I started getting busy with AP testing, competitions (AcaDeca, Science Bowl, and History Day), etc., so my weekends were booked. I'm gonna start participating in online tourneys again now that I'm on break, but it'll be in a while since I'm gonna be out of the country for a month soon.

I want to enter a tournament, but I don't know about any scenes where I live...
It sucks really.

Here in GA, tournaments are super saturated. There's about 9 - 12 a month.

3 bi-weeklies
1 monthly
1-2 potential weeklies starting this summer

It's really hard to explain. It's probably scrubs and lag. Maybe it's projectile spam. Or maybe it's just seeing people rage in name tags. I really don't know. I barely play For Glory.
Also I found this.
That might just be my new profile picture...

There's a fair number of tournaments where I live but most are on like Mondays or Thursdays, half an hour [or more] from where I live, I don't drive, and recent unfortunate [but simultaneously very fortunate] circumstances mean I'm very unlikely to travel to any of those.

At UIUC we got weeklies going and had monthlies so there was maybe 5 tournaments a month at the end, but weeklies were mostly Melee or PM. I also had no one to practice Smash 4 with there consistently, so the vast majority of my skill in Smash 4 comes from having played the other Smash games and watching ESAM then trying to do some of the stuff he does.

I desperately want to do some tournies, but my nocturnal schedule usually keeps me from it. Plus, somehow they always seem to come in rotation on the weekends I'm working.

I mean, I'd scrub out, no doubt, but the learning opportunities can't be overstated here, and god knows I need it.

Sigh. Maybe someday we'll get a midnight venue around here.

I won a tournament today. Where's my party?
Dude, nice. I'll get the hat.

It was a 40 person tourney and local smash god, Megafox, decided not to go so it was my only chance to actually win a tournament, lol. I went all Fox in winner's and lost at semi's cause my Fox is garbage, then brought it back with Pikachu in loser's.

It's weird hearing someone in my personal smash gods pantheon talk about smash gods. :p

Doesn't sound like your Fox is too garbage if it can clean up all the way to semis, though. You think you would've done any better or worse going all pika? Find anything worth putting in your pocket or polishing up for the next tourney?

Our city is pretty self contained as well as our personal deity. If Prime didn't encounter the Sheik MU, I would've believed his Fox would've taken it all the way in Winners. Losers bracket was no contest for his Pika tho -- he had a definite Grand Finals and bracket reset.

We're the opposite here from what I can tell; very spread out. In fact we seem spread far too thin.

Admittedly, with my track record at going to tournies or even weeklies, saying anything about our scene here feels like I'm giving my professional opinion on open brain surgery - inexperienced, not very well-reasoned, and generally ends in a mess.

The MU thread is thinking of making that thread a hub/matchup general discussion with all the matchup threads (which would be separate threads) posted in the OP. lol
Are you all okay with that?

I mean in terms of being able to find the content all in one place, yeah, having that as a hub sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

@ Soul. Soul. can I get the original URL for where that image you posted on the previous page was from? I want to use it for something and I'm curious if I can get it where it's from [it's currently a little small and if the original was bigger, that'd be helpful].

True dat.

@ Pikabunz Pikabunz I thought you were Klo for a minute.

[EDIT]; Gentlemen, we're being called out.

Calling all character forums on Smashboards! We challenge you to make a Smash 4 compilation video amongst your own forum members!

Let's see if yours can top ours! May the best smasher win!

Just noting that I'll be putting my post above in the last minute of our video to call our the other forums to try and make a video like ours themselves :secretkpop:

I stole Glaceon from her.

I wish I could draw like this. It's so perfectly cute.

I have nothing to offer in the way of smash, but if you need someone to make snarky remarks about the other boards videos, I gotchu.

What have you sexy lads and lasses been up to?
Splatoon.

Lots and lots of Splatoon.

I stole Glaceon from her.
Ooo. I was wondering when I'd get an excuse to tag @ KayLo! KayLo!

That Glaceon is adorable though, no contest there.

I see what you did there.

That said, that was roughly my plan too. Come, Max10n, we'll be like the Statler and Waldorf of Pikachu evolutions.

Splatoon has been my pleasant surprise from Nintendo this year. I absolutely love it, despite hating no voice chat. Before it came out I figured it would be a rough around the edges shooter without the polish the big boy ones have, but I was definitely wrong.

I'm still afraid of how long it will last, but with free DLC maps and maybe some new modes, it should Staaaaay Fresh!

And Callie is the new waifu, i'll fite anyone for her

Edit: Been watching too much Steven Universe. derp

Squid Central looks cool, but I can't help but think it's not going to last—I find the game overhyped, too; lack of content until August sucks.
Still a fun game I suppose. Can't wait for E3 to see if they finally end Gen 6.

By the looks of it it's got a long life ahead, at least until someone breaks it. It'll be even longer if they fix matchmaking.

@ Soul. Soul. I still say you should play it. Come to the dark side, homie.

Those are my exact thoughts about the game. I thought it was going to be mediocre but it's surprisingly fun. The lack of content makes me think the game won't last long though. Also, I too have been watching SU. It's an alright show.

I may already have you, but if I for some reason don't, will do, and feel free to do the same. I won't be able to until morning, however. Money talks and all that.

No, neveeeeer homie. I will not surrender.
We have cookies.

My brother plays it more than me. But when I get on, it's hard as **** to put the game down. Unless food is involved.

But it'll definitely get repetitive once the reality hits me in the future.

I stole Glaceon from her.
Did you steal her?
Or did I trick you into being the first of my adorable Glaceon army?

Also, hi Red~ =3

Also,

Can't wait for E3 to see if they finally end Gen 6.

Thank god, sounds like someone else was as disappointed with ORAS as I was. (Although I actually liked XY minus the pretty lame post-game. :c)
