Smash 4 Scene in Calgary?

[Naturu]

I wonder if there is any interest for Smash 4 in Calgary (besides Smash University, but only a few people show up and it's mainly focused on Melee and Brawl). I am interested in joining if anything comes up, but I'm still pretty young (16) and I don't think I am good enough yet.

Just thought I would put this up because I can't travel to Edmonton on a weekly basis for tournaments, even though the Smash scene up there is EXPLODING, and I know for a FACT more people play Smash 4 in Calgary and want the same kind of small tourney that I do.

They have more entries for brawl then smash 4 at smash university? I live in Medicine Hat and was hoping to go there for tourneys. Dont really have any other options.

Yea they don't have much interest for Smash 4 up here. I'm ok with playing Brawl if that's the only thing there but would prefer playing Smash 4 a lot more, as I am so much better at it.

Hmm last I recall the meetings were quite large... and Calgary Brawl is actually and unfortunately pretty dead =\ so I'm not sure where that came from lol. Did you join the facebook groups (calgar+alberta ones) or attend meetings reguarly? Otherwise...I think you are already missing out lol.

Wait nvrmnd... just found out about Otafest and the Smash 4 tournament there. Gonna participate with a friend. I appreciate the info though

Yeah I don't know where you got the information from, brawl events don't really happen anymore.

The last smash 4 tournament I hosted (Feb 14-15) had over 64 smash 4 entrants, soooooooo you should absolutely follow the facebook groups as they house pretty much all of the discussion regarding all of the games.

But yeah, tons of smash 4

Ya, Brawl rarely gets played at meetings and basically never gets hosted at tournaments anymore.

I would say over this semester, the Friday U of C meetings are of comparable size to the Edmonton Saturday of U of A ones. Like kithkin said, there's a pretty large Smash 4 scene in Calgary, and there are always 4+ set-ups at the weekly meetings. The meetings will begin again in the Summer on Thursdays, if you're interested.

Otafest is a good opportunity to get involved with the community, and it's also probably one of Alberta's largest tournaments. Good luck!

Well, I'm glad that there is a big Smash 4 scene up here, because I love that game. Appreciate the advice, I will make sure to check up on Facebook for anything happening locally. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll check out the U of C weekly meetings and probably will participate if there is a genuine interest in Smash 4 there. Just two things, is there an age limit to enter the weekly meetings there? Do you have to be a student there?

Wow, I didn't expect to get so many replies on this thread... Thanks for the support, it makes me feel better that there are people who live in the same city that share a common interest! :D

There is no age limit and you don't need to be a U of C student. There are also no membership fees over the Summer, so you can just show up and play some Smash 4! Bring a controller though.

I like how there was both a Calgary AND Edmonton thread that said each city was dead and Smash at University was small lmaooo.
