This thread is for every smasher around STL who, after that event in 2008, decided that we must return to melee.

After having this new STL Melee thread up for several months, we've realized that 99% of our online communication is done through the STL Melee Facebook page. It's just easier to post videos, chat, and have it all integrated with the social media stuff.

http://www.facebook.com/groups/323513011041633/

The community is gaining momentum and looking for a good venue to host future tournies. We have some weekly smashfests near WashU campus, and DarkAtma is always happy to critique vids.

Congratulations on the graduation Darkatma! Are you looking around for a job in STL these days, or just taking it easy for a few weeks in Cali?

Yo

I live in kirkwood
Sweet, that's close. I'm Tower Grove Park area. There's a few guys I've met in the WashU area, but to be honest, I'm still new to the smash community here in STL.

@Riio, I'm not going to Pathways, but I know a few that are. You should hop on the Springfield, MO Thread, that's all they're talking about right now. You may be able to bum a carpool off someone around here.

@DarkAtma, I hope the job hunt works out well. Can you remind me what field you're looking into again? I may know people...

Health fields, my ideal goal is to do clinical research for 2 years before med school, but I'm also down for stuff such as medical secretary etc.. and it just has to pay decently enough for me to sustain myself here + start paying off debts

Nice! I'm glad this thread was started.

Who all plans on attending Pathways this Saturday? I'm bringing a full van of StL and Illinois smashers. If someone wants to follow us in their own car, I wouldn't mind one bit, we just need to make plans.

And I'll be doing a pre-tournament smashfest the night before Pathways (Friday) at my place if anyone's interested let me know.

Yes sir, this weekend the 26th.

Lixi I never got a chance the other night to wish you luck with everything and it was awesome getting to hang out with you the few times we did. I'll never forget that time you came to visit me in the hospital and all we did was play smash. Good times man. Please continue to post in here often!

I've got a pretty loose schedule next week. Mon, Tues, or Wed evening I'm free to smash (I can only play one of those nights, not all :p). If anyone wants to come to my place in the Tower Grove area PM or shoot me a message through facebook. I check both.

Hey guys. I don't live in the area but it is nice that we have another section of Missouri that is starting to become a crew.

Who showed up at Pathways? I was the guy with a blue hoodie, beautiful hair, and glasses.

This just put a huge smile on my face. Bert we HAVE to team at some point in time.

Edit: when do you plan on moving here? I'll smash with you anytime I'm free.

Big shoutout to Bert for everything
Anytime bro. Hit me up if you ever want to smash.

i'm glad there's a new crowd of people flowing in to STL

My plans right now are a busy summer, then hopefully work back in STL in the fall for the next two years. That's the ideal situation though, still need to find something there.

Updates on smash for me:
Norcal smash is difficult as always haha. Lost to phil (fox player) in 3rd round winner's last weekend, clawed my way back through losers, had some crazy matches with silentspectre, but lost for 4th place. I'm aiming for top 2 next tourney though :p

Dang, Cali sounds tough. Can't imagine those matches. I looked for you in church the other day, but forgot you were out of town :p

@Bert, Riio is coming over kinda right now (4:30) and he can't stay late. Maybe 9ish. We're at my place.

Had fun tonight Riio! I can't remember Fred and Chester's usernames. pm me if you guys are lurking here ;)

And just so no one's confused, I'm changing my username to just Roux (pronouced like kanga-"roo"), like the cajun mix. My pic will still be the evil Ratigan dressed as a king from Great Mouse detective... so it should be difficult to be confused with the name change.

@darkatma

Binyan! Glad to see that you're competing. I'm rooting you on all summer! Just curious, who's the toughest for you in NorCal?

Oh, and get on that job search cuz it'd be awesome if you were in STL for two more years.

Edit: who'd you go in tourney?

my peach was really off her game, except vs ice climbers (choknater)... I switched back and forth a lot for sets, but I'd say 60-40 sheik peach i think.

I felt really rusty going in to the tourney, and kinda unrusted along the way.
Watch my sets vs darrell and SS when they go up! They're pretty fun/funny (at least the ss set)

Apparently, Phil. Why do you keep losing to that guy


Edit: I am moving to Chicago on Saturday. If anybody wants to play one last time, it will have to be tonight or tomorrow. Also note I no longer have a setup, just a controller and memory card.

LOL I'm not going to have time to go to most of them, but I am thinking of going to the one on the 9th before I start orientation.

Yea Alex let's be real here. Smashers can't ever "quit" smash. It's in their blood. We're not just smash brothers. We're technically blood brothers. :awesome:
