As some of you know, (I know Fate does) people have hacked Brawl to have directional air dodging and wavedashing. I would so host an unofficial Brawl tournament for fun once they find out L cancelling and hitstun.

So i have a question for some of the older (older as in have been in the community for a long time) players from utah like FTS and PC and gojira ect... Basically how did you guys get people from your state to want to get good at smash and not just quit after they showed up to a tourney realized they weren't the best?

Okay, so here's a little history lession...

.
..
...
Shortly after I decided to post for the first time (despite being registered for years, already), FTS IMed me. He was trying to get more Utahns into the Smash scene that he has very recently started, and notice that I had my location set to "Salt Lake City, Utah". So we talked, and I mentioned Anime Banzai, so we decided to meet there. Well, Rafa-Son and I meet FTS, Gojira, and lengeta at Anime Banzai 2005 for the first time. Soon after, I went to the second tournament that FTS hosted (I missed the first, as I had stumbled upon the tournament thread the evening that the tournament took place), and meet players such as Mash.
But we didn't really have any sort of organized "find dedicated Smash players" campaign or anything. We were just lucky that the majority of us were already dedicated enough to stick to it. So as time passed; some would leave; some would show up just once; but, once in a while, some would stay. I remember a certain Jigglypuff player by the name of RagingAsian once came, and actually stayed, and is now one of Utah's best Melee players. As for some extra effort that we (or at least for me, anyway) did, we would tell people we associate with (they don't have to be close associates) that we think would be interest of the Smash tournaments. For me, I would tell my school friends, their brothers, the people in my school gaming club, and people that I played cards games with about it. Eventually, you'll get lucky and find one that's obsessed with it (in my case, C!Z is a great example).

Well, as you can see, the bigger the population, the better the potential of finding someone interested. What you can possibly try to do now, is find a game store that's willing to host Smash tournaments, and use that as the gateway to finding players (Brawl is relatively new, so a store tournament will definitely attract some people). With some effort and a lot of luck, you'll get a community started no time.

We have some play n trade's that have tournaments now and then but the players that go never end up sticking, they will show up to the other PnT tourneys buts thats about it. Any special way to get them from PnT tourneys to real tourneys?

One way is to absolutely amaze them by showing them the potential of the game, as to try to get them to get want to get serious about it so that they can do those amazing things, too. (But I guess it's much harder to amaze someone in Brawl than in Melee, so that could be a problem.)

There isn't much you can do other than what PC says. It depends more on the person than how you try to recruit them. You just get lucky eventually.

The goal is to get them to try it out for the 1st time. After that, it's all luck, assuming you didn't screw up. Best you can do is show what playing competitively is about, then try to eliminate any excuses and anything that could make them too lazy to try.

Also, make sure they know about what the larger OOS tournaments are like and the awesome things that generally happen when people aren't playing matches.

okay be my guest either make a new thread that probably none of vegas will see, or find the vegas thread somewhere in the pacific west forums and post there, though you wont get a decent response.

I did my part if you want to come here then I suggest you try also (also if you think I am anal about this then be prepared for Vicko)
