Tournament and Player Finding Resources

Just click the links to find players and tournaments!

All Is Brawl's Tournament Finder: Every tournament, both past and present, that is put on All Is Brawl can be found here. You can use the search filters to find tournaments in your area, ones you attended already, online tournaments, and just about any tournament you can think of. You can contact the directors and other players through this site very easily. This will perhaps be the best resource for finding tournaments.

Smashboards, Tournament Listings: This board is typicaly reserved for larger events, but some smaller events can be found. Major national events are pinned in here. This is a good section to check if you're looking to attend something larger than local events, or if you didn't really find anything in your regional board.

Smashboards, Online Tournament Listings: If you're only looking to compete online, this is a good place to look. Online tournaments count for almost nothing in the grand scheme of things, but they're better than nothing and can still be fun. Generally, All Is Brawl is much better for finding and participating in online events.

Smashboards, Atlantic North Regional Board: This board is the main posting area for the northeast section of America. Everything from Virginia to Maine is considered Atlantic North, and it extends as far west as Pennsylvania. This board contains regional and state rankings, as well as player finders. Tournaments in the area will be advertised here. The thread for the highly active NYC Weeklies is in this board, as well as Montage's monthly events and Smashfests, CT's monthly events, and a plethora of other tournaments. Tournaments in NJ, PA, North VA, and CT are frequently advertised here. CT, North VA, Philly, and central NJ are extremely active areas. There are also many threads devoted to various crews, some of them quite powerful and well known, such as Montage, The Smash Affiliates, SWAT, Deadly Alliance, Team Arlington, and many others. This is considered the most powerful Smash region in the entire world.

Smashboards, Atlantic South: South VA to Florida is included in this section, and it extends as far west as Louisiana. Florida is probably the most powerful and active area in this region, with a lot of amazing Melee players, up and coming Brawl players, and a generally active tournament scene. State and regional rankings, crew threads, player finders, and tourmanent threads can all be found in here. SWFL Crew tends to dominate Florida, so if you're in Florida, go play them. Georgia's scene, while not the most talented, is pretty active. These states are large, so the only really active areas would be the major cities and capitals.

Smashboards, Midwest: From Ohio all the way west to Montana. These states, unfortunately, are extremely vast and large. This means the generally active areas would only be found in and around the major cities and capitals. Players in this area need to be willing to travel if they're not in an active area. Crews like COK, Ship of Fools, and the Gamer Guild dominate this region. They're generally pretty organized since they must be in order to keep things together given the vast distances they must travel. The Midwest is known for being laid back, which I suppose might promote their generally campy playstyles. As with the other regional boards, you can find player finders, rankings, tournaments, crew threads, and other resources here.

Smashboards, Southwest: Texas, Oklahoma, and the four corners states are all included in this region. Like the Midwest, this area suffers from having very large states with huge distances needing to be crossed by a lot of people in order to stay active in the tournament scene. If you live near major cities or capitals, then you're fine. Texas is probably the most active state individually, especially around Houston, Austin, and Dallas. Arizona's Smash scene is also quite active around the larger cities. As with the other regional boards, you can find player finders, rankings, tournaments, crew threads, and other resources here.

Smashboards, Pacific West: California, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Hawaii, and Alaska are all included in this region. California, specifically Southern California, is most likely the strongest and most active area in this region. It's not hard to find tournaments in densely populated areas in the other states, but California is definitely the place to be. Numerous strong crews are in this area, like DBR and the SoCal Elite 5. As with the other regional boards, you can find player finders, rankings, tournaments, crew threads, and other resources here. I highly recommend getting to SoCal to play the top players there.

Smashboards, Australia: Australia may not be famous for Smash, but they do have a pretty active scene, especially around Sydney, Melbourne, and other populated areas. There are numerous really good players that keep the area alive, and sometimes American pros from the west coast and Japanaese pros will travel to Australia for major events. Australia also has the bragging rights of being home to the best female player in the world, Emily.

Smashboards, Canada: Poor Canada. If the Midwest has it bad for distance, Canada should almost be considered unmanagable. However, Canada remains active anyways, especially around cities like Toronto and Montreal. You'll generally find active areas in and around any populated cities. Canada is perhaps one of the least skilled areas, but the competition at a tournament is still bound to be better than just playing people in your neighborhood. Canada's top players have never been able to compete with America or Japan's top players, but Brawl may give them a new chance at doing so. Crews typically don't play a major role in Canada like they do in America, but you can still find player finders, rankings, and tournaments in here.

Smashboards, Europe: Europe is actually pretty active. Many players keep the continent alive by hosting events often. It's easy to find players in larger cities, and Europe's players are actually pretty good, although not the same level as America or Japan. Crews typically don't play a major role in Europe like they do in America, but you can still find player finders, rankings, and tournaments in here. Speaking multiple languages is definitey a big plus if you live in this region.

Smashboards, Central and South America: Central and South America is generally an underrated area, but we've seen really good players in Brazil, Mexico, Puerto Rico, and various major cities. This board includes a huge number of countries and cities, so searching for something may prove difficult. Try to find a player finder thread for your area or any threads having to do with tournaments in your area.

Smashboards, International Community: This board is for everywhere else. Generally, these area have their own sites since they often don't even use the same alphabet as the other regions. You may find something here, but you probably won't be needing this area if you live in a country not mentioned yet.

All Is Brawl's Player Finder: Much like the tournament finder at All Is Brawl, you can search through this one using filter options and find any player registered on the site. This is a good way to find specific people. If you find players near you, getting to tournaments will be very easy even if you don't drive. Just carpool with other players.

Fire Emblem Community Player Finder: This is a database of all the players in the Fire Emblem community that have submitted their player information so far. One copy of the thread is on FEFF, the other is on Fire Emblem Planet. Both contain the same information and are updated at the same time. If you haven't posted in one of them, I suggest you do so.


NO FUCKING JOHNS ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND TOURNAMENTS OR OTHER PLAYERS.

Interesting. I might be able to use the Europe one, but I smell BS in your post. :hmm:

Good shit though, Lucas.

I suppose you'll at least be able to back this up by having EU players rankings in tournaments consisting of both American and Japanese players?

I have defeated Europe's best Peach in a money match. Our best Peaches can beat me soundly.

I was only very slightly worse than Europe's best Sheik when I played him at FC 6.

At FC 6, only one top European player did well while the rest did mediocre.

When our average players go to Europe, they can take top placings.

Nihonjin and Europe's other absolute top players haven't been to America, but they've lost when some of our players have gone to Europe.

When the Japanese came here, they lost to our top players. Ken has gone to Japan and won their tournaments.

He has a legendary name, you should expect as much.

If one EU player placed well in FC6, whutever that is, that should mean he's on the "American" level of gaming.

If you consider yourself to be good, and lost to the best shiek at FC6, that would put europeans on the "good" standard for sure.

Maybe it's just I dislike people bragging about America and being pro at games so much when all I see on Halo is MLG people getting over-excited about the simplest sticks/double kills. Seriously, who actually cares that they got a DK? >_>

Sorry, just it's something that's been annoying me more lately.

Helios did all right, but he's not on the same level as our top players, yet he's a top player in Europe. He's not on the same level as Mew2King, Azen, PC Chris, Ken, and the rest of our large amount of godly players.

That only puts the best in Europe on the standards of "good." I played the second best player in France and was about even with him, so that shows how bad the best in France is compared to people like Mew2King, who can absolutely decimate me.

America's top players are better. Proven fact. Want to change that? Go beat Nihonjin and then come here and rape us. Your comment about MLG's Halo scene shows your lack of knowledge when it comes to high-level Halo play.

Sorry, but it's also true. :NomNomNom:

I do indeed seem to not care about the American "Pro" scene when it comes to Halo, being able to take on the majority of Americans and win, even with my shitty 1mb connection and them being host, seeing as I reckon I could indeed prove my worth in a tournament. Then again, the overkill/extermination I got in the MLG playlist probably says I'm a noob, even though it was a general I got the third kill on. :[ Most Americans I encounter on Halo seem to have to idea of giving up all the time when they're loosing, which quite frankly, pisses me off to no end.

Lucas, you know that I will take that challenge on, given time? Sounds like a fun way to spend my time. I will go to America, and I will compete in tournaments and place high. You've got my word for it, but seeing as I'm only 16, almost 17, and can't legally travel to the US on my own, I guess I'll just have to wait another year or so.

lol @ judging the skill level of top MLG professionals based on owning noobs online

I'm an elitist prick. The "majority" doesn't matter. They don't win. Only the top matters.

Come on, dude. >_>;

I wouldn't drive to a brawl tourny but I would for a melee one. I think melee has it's place as a competitive game.
