Thanks, I feel I would be pretty solid at a local, but I wont know until I try. Just makes me so sad that most of the Memphis smashers are inactive on Smashboards. I still think they hold small smashfests and stuff though. Yeah I could care less if I win or lose at my first tourney, I reaaaaally just want to see where I am on the "Smash skill level spectrum".It's hard to say for sure it really depends on who enters, if you have the chance you should definitely go though, even if you lose it will be a learning experience and you'll only be out like maybe $5 or $10, locals usually don't cost much to enter, and you should seek out the best player there and ask them to grind out some friendlies with you and see if they'd be willing to give you advice to improve your game.
