To moderators, if I'm posting in the wrong forum, please forgive me.
I'm noticing an alarmingly low amount of interest for Smash Bros. in the South Florida area. For those of you who know Florida, it's actually a pretty happening state regarding the fighting game community in general. Problem is, what a lot of folks fail to realize is that this pretty much only applies to Central Florida (Orlando, Kissimmee, etc.) and parts of North Florida (lots of guys in Gainseville, I see.) The Miami scene is pretty dead though. Browsing around the Regional Zone thread, most users from South Florida were last seen posting around 2-3 years ago. Not very promising, imo.
In this case, I would like to propose a revitalization of the South Florida Smash community, especially since Smash 4 was just announced and the hype amongst the Smash community in general is pretty high. Maybe a local tournament could attract some goers to the area. I'm no Smash expert nor do I have any experience with tournament organizing, but I do remember attending a small tournament in a joint called Final Round Arcade inside the Mall of the Americas. (Miami, Flagler area). If the manager was up for it, I don't see why we couldn't organize a new tournament, and maybe open it up to both Melee and Brawl (would also probably do both singles and doubles brackets.) It's a bit of a tall order, but that's why I would like to see if any people in the area would have interest in attending such a tournament in the first place.
So please, South Floridians, express your desire for a new local Smash tournament!
...Come on, guys. I'm lonely out here.
