Its cool seeing such an enthusiastic new player lol. I'll let you know beforehand of any time Im around the Dundee/ St Andrews area and we could play. Whats your msn? and do you have any mates who play?

Aww shame zeppo you had 1337 posts :p
My msn is SSs_28@live.co.uk so everyone can add me ill just accept you
so maybe we can arrange something in the future ill look forward to it :)

Edit: Forgot to say that i bought melee from one of my friends and we used to play melee(this was 2/3 years ago) so i might talk to him to see if he wants to play at a competitive level.
If not im sure he will jgive me some practise against a human player even if hes not gonna train on his own.
If he does like the sound of it then we will have to get a hold of another melle disk.
Otherwise there is noone else that is interested that i know of in montrose :S

what do you guys think about merging this thread with the NW thread?

both are a little on the dying side and it might help raise interest and such.

EDIT: i could possibly come up to your end at the end of april =/

Merge would be a good idea if they were closer but I'm not even willing to go down to nw for semi regular events, nevermind new guys.

As for Dundee events I can probably have a few guys over during easter hols. I'm not that interested in smash right now but might be interested in having anyone who wants over for a weekend or something :confused:

im a lit student, so I pretend to read books and then talk about them.

I might do something in edinburgh during the hols, only problem being in only have one tv smash can be played on so it wouldn't be a particularly serious event. Maybe some poker on the go, been too long, John I need my revenge.

Joe- 11-12th of April but I wont be going to Bolton lols :suess:

if you guys want to come up to scotland though then let me know eh

Allan and Ryan you guys should def do banter things, my vote goes for poker + drinks banter??:suess: no-one but like me and Ed are interested in smash I think and its easy enough to set up smash and a cube or whatever.

Shifting shadows, I added you on msn :) Hopefully we can play sometime soon!

lol fair play Q! You are a few months late though sadly. There was a slight re-emergance of the scene with a lot of people going to their first tourney in over a year or 2 like me, Ed and Jam, and the scene in general didn't have much going on. Think it has died down again since haha, but theres the odd ranbat happening here or there, as far as Scottish smash goes I think the odd fest here or there if your lucky, nothing planned right now afaik.

There are still plenty of events to go to in the UK. Just interest is a little low, Southampton won't have that many people I think?

location location location. Its a bit inconvenient for lots of people since there isnt a direct train or something.
