I'll keep an eye out for that date. Also, no. I'm not interested in other fighting games. Just not my thing.

nintendude, this is where all the smasher discussion is.
buffalo will be hard to get housing for/in, but I may be able to hook something up for you. but whats going on in september?
james, to be honest, the only way to generate the kind of mass hype that youre referring to, at this point in time, is for the next game to come out. but you have a point in the whole where is san thing. Last I heard, he was going to Cornell U, but he should be back home in rochester for the summer now.
bcb, younger crew and interest is the way to go. thats where the new hype, talent, and numbers are going to be coming from. but yea dude, you old enough to travel on your own now so step that ish up.
Goodle, thats fine, just means youre going to have to wait a bit for a meaningful event. but Im looking forward to meeting you then.

I'm going to a wedding in Buffalo that weekend. If I fly in Thursday instead of Friday the flight is much cheaper, but it's not worth it if I have to get a hotel for myself for that extra night. I'd be flying into Buffalo in the late evening.
btw I would suggest you guys make a facebook group if you want to revive your scene. That's how my scene mainly interacts and it's far superior to smashboards for keeping in touch with the whole local community.

we have an fgc page, and i personally dont see the point in making a page separate from that just for smash.

Well it depends on activity. MD/VA is so active that every smash game has their own facebook group. Merging them or even adding FGC would make it a big mess. If you would only want the group to be a place to advertise tournaments, then sure, use the FGC group. If however, people advertise smashfests and share content / discussions almost every day (as in MD/VA), it really does make sense to have a separate group. It makes it way easier for people to join our scene too.
Really, I'm just sad to see that WNY Smash is practically dead. Steps can be taken to revive it.

Yea man its sad. Almost nobody has the heart anymore ( Me included). Its not really anybody's fault, I guess people are just getting older or have more real **** to deal with. Either way it sucks.
Done, kinda surprised, Damus kinda made it appear that because of smash's low success it might not be coming back next time. If it was your doing that changed his mind, good shiz.

well this one is going to be way bigger, so i feel better about asking out of state to come, as opposed to just having it be our region only.

epsilon, hit that guy up for street fighter.
Sam,
the one in october? Honestly the turnout in region is pretty low right now. but if I can get you to confirm now, It will help A TON for helping me to get people to show up and build hype especially from out of state. plus itll be some really good competition for you in injustice as well.

Ironically I deactivated my account like a day before you said this
I wish things were less taken over by that site. It's dumb how tournament things are happening less on Smashboards and especially shoryuken. Shoryuken's tournament section is forever a disaster. It'll never be split up by region which would be so easy for finding tournaments. Oh, wait, sorry, that was a massive unnecessary tangent. I'll probably reactivate my facebook account

It would probably be Nick Demers.
Umbreon same thing goes to you. Facebook is the easiest way to get a hold of him.

Want to say a few things about Melee at EVO real quick.
I was largely absent from the internet exploding last night. But what I did notice was SCORES of people talking about how terrible of a company Nintendo is and how they haven't bought anything from them in 2-5 years, and then go on to talk about how they are screwing over their loyal customers and fans.
First of all, disapproval and disrespect are 2 different things and they do not have to be connected. I don't understand how people could be so angry and say that kind of stuff about a company that they claim to love so much. And on top of that, how are people calling themselves, 'loyal nintendo fans' if they supposedly haven't bought or liked anything they've put out in half a decade. Thats like me saying that Im a Taylor Swift, Lil' Wayne and Justin Beiber fans just because I like one song a piece from each of them.
Secondly, it seems like we need to have an honest conversation about the dynamics between the Brawl and Melee communities.
As a person who has been playing Smash in tournaments since 2005, I honestly don't understand why current Melee players feel the unstoppable compulsion to hate, degrade and disrespect Brawl at every possible opportunity. I feel like Melee players need to get off their high horse. Melee is a good game. Thats it. And the amount of blatent baseless hating and bashing that Brawl gets is unnecessary and does nobody any favors.
If it weren't for Brawl players having a sense of community and connection with every game in the series, Melee wouldn't even be in EVO to begin with. Without Brawl players, Melee wouldn't have donated enough money to beat Skullgirls in the donation drive. Without those Brawl kids, you think you would have gotten that many names and signatures on your petitions? Not even close. Most of the people that even play Melee now wouldn't be if it weren't for Brawl. So think about that the next time you feel like saying something ignorant about any Smash game.
To paraphrase my boy Ulysses Gallardo aka Dark Peach:
'Its hard to be proud and happy for them winning the battle when it's for a group of people that doesn't really deserve it.'
