connecticut's smash scene is pretty much completely dead especially for a game like this
The closest thing I've gotten to a "competitive scene" in connecticut were 2 tournies I had at my school. The first was Smash 64, and the second was Melee. Smash 64 was a roaring good time, as the tag team duo of my Puff and my friend's Falcon destroyed the competition. We'll call this friend James, as in Franco.
In they Melee tourney, I talked big and said I'd beat them all with Roy. Then James tried to tell me to shut up.
HE WAS GOING TO REGRET THAT.
I took out my teacher as Marth, then went against a friend of mine who I'm pretty sure is mentally unstable. We'll call him Will, as in The Fresh Prince. He mained Puff, so as a joke, I chose Rambo Puff. We started and he began to WHOOP MY ASS.
Then the fire alarm went off.
I wanted to change characters, but everyone said no, I have to stick with Puff. So I said
FINE I NEVER LOVED YOU ANYWAYS.
Immediately people start betting money that Will will win. One guy says that if I lose I have to give him a Subway sandwich, and vice versa. And then the unthinkable happens.
I START TO GET THE LEAD.
I realize that we're almost evenly matched, but somehow I was winning. It wasn't until I landed a flying rest that I started to scream the lyrics of Back In Black. In the end, I won, and flipped everyone the bird. I saved that on a replay, because I had installed 20XX. The rest of the tourney was fairly bland, with James losing to a scrub because he refused to accept that his Sm4sh shenanigans wouldn't work here. I won the title of Melee Master, and asked James:
What was that about big talk and no bite?
Bitch?
