FAQs
Why did you make this thread?
This thread is first and foremost a Philadelphia Player Finder Thread that will actually be updated.
The reason that I am creating this thread is because Philadelphia has an emerging melee community, and Philadelphia is among the least organized regions in smash. I'm making
At the time that I am creating this, the only resources for Philadelphia smashers are the "The NEW & IMPROVED Pennsylvania (PA) Finder" thread, last updated in 2007, and the "All-purpose Philadelphia Smash Thread" thread, last active also in 2007.

Is this thread just for melee?
No.
"The NEW & IMPROVED Pennsylvania (PA) Finder" thread is currently used mostly for brawl discussion, so I expect that the DISCUSSION in this thread will be mostly melee related, but this will serve as a player finder for BOTH melee and brawl in the Philadelphia area.

Define "Philadelphia area"?
For the purposes of this thread, the working definition of Philadelphia is on this map.

If you are outside of this area, but still wish to be listed on the player finder, that is fine, but you will be listed seperately and the expectation will be that the you will do the travelling.

When are power rankings coming out?
Maybe sometime in the future, but you're missing the point here.
This thread wasn't made so that we could have power rankings. At this point, power rankings would be irrelevant, because besides Cactuar, Pakman, and Ultimascout, we are all scrubs.

Why did you make an account just for this thread?
so I can have multiple people help out with it, and I can pass it on if I ever move away from Philly.

I feel the type of info (I.e. "name:") should stand out a bit from the actual information. It would make it a bit easier to find what's needed.

I'll add my info sometime tomorrow.

I'm going home tonight, but I'll be back in the city sometime Saturday evening if anyone wants to play.

@Metal Reeper: Money isn't a problem, I just don't usually have a ton of time after work, so Saturdays would be the only day I would really drive out somewhere. I'll most likely be going to a tournament somewhere on Saturdays though, which is why I would only want to play in Philly on Thursday/Fridays.
