What's the current Smash scene situation in NYC?

[madiaz3]

Hey everyone,

Reviving my Smashboards account on the heels of Smash Ultimate's release after about 10 years. I was heavily into Melee/Brawl back in 2004-2008 but I wasn't well known by any means. I remember spending a lot of time at web2zone when Brawl came out for weeklies.

In life I've always been more of an organizer than just a participant, but I didn't exactly have any resources at my disposal back in my teens.

I am currently a manager of a very unique studio space that I believe could have some potential as a Smash hub in a central/accessible location of Manhattan. But I don't want to get too crazy with the idea until I know the lay of the land. Ideally I'd love to talk/meet/collab with some of the current organizers local to NYC. I'll be writing up a more detailed thread of what I envision my idea to be in a day or too and share to see what people think.

Thanks,
Marvin

Do you use Facebook? I'm a TO from NY and I know a few other TO's from that area you could talk to.

I'm in...you'd think a huge city like this there would be more action but damn it's dead around here.

Hey, I'm in as well! Been trying to find people to smash with.

If you're not quite ready to use the studio space, I'd be willing to host some people as well at my apartment in Astoria, Queens to test the waters. It isn't the biggest, but it's enough for me to host at least a decent chunk of people (we've had something like 15 people in our living room at one point) for a small tourney or some friendlies.

In any case, if anyone's trying to meet smashers in nyc, slide into my dms
