EPTThat said, if you absolutely can't find anyone near you or are strapped for transportation, Melee is also available on Netplay, which has fairly decent latency if your connection is good and you aren't too far apart.

Smash handle: Jank
Where do you live? Buffalo, NY
Which game(s)? Melee
Main(s): JIgglypuff
How long have you been playing competitively?Aware of the competitive scene and a lil bit of play here and there since 2008. First tournament apex 2014 this year.
Do you use Netplay? A little bit, I hate the latency but it can be fun once and awhile to play with people who you wouldn't get to normally.
Any other extra smash-relevant info: I quit starcraft II about a year ago when I got a new full time job but picked up smash as a replacement. Every tournament I go to I'm improving. I went from scrubbing out 0-2 to top 8ing in my region's 40-50 man locals. I have a fox and a marth but I don't really use them in tournaments.
Smash handle: Fez$
Where do you live? Buffalo, NY
Which game(s)? Melee/PM
Main(s): Sheik
How long have you been playing competitively?Had friends in high school(2007ish) who were competitive, but was never on that level. Started playing a lot with a coworker and now roommate. First tournament was Apex 2014.
Do you use Netplay? Haven't used it yet.
Any other extra smash-relevant info: I used to play a lot of smash 64 growing up, and I'd play a lot against really good smashers, so I have decent game sense. I settled on Sheik as a main in March. I play incredibly campy, partly due to my main practice partner being a Puff player, but mostly due to my inconsistent tech making follow ups more risky. Looking to start hosting tournaments in Buffalo, hoping to draw from the WNY scene as well as the Ohio and Pittsburgh scene, and maybe even the Toronto area.
