I've wondered this for quite some time does Russia have it's own smash scene?

Hi, PMC66

Unfortunately, no. Russia does not have a "scene." What Russia has is a strong following of very casual players. The reason it isn't competitive here is because Nintendo isn't very active in our country at all. However, games such as Super Street Fighter 4 and Guilty Gear: AC are very popular. Unfortunately, competitive play even for those games is very limited. Cities with a large European/Western influence such as Moscow and Saint Petersburg are the hubs of the Russian fighting game community.

The website for the community is here --> http://www.fighting.ru/

For Smash, however, I'm afraid you're out of luck. There are two Melee players, however, in Saint Petersberg who are active. I'm the only other player there is (I'll be back in Vladivostok in April).

Oh, and if you live in Russia, please sign this!
