Well, I’m finally back in RI. The familiar sights and sounds are giving me a rush of euphoria.
FGC/Smash major coming to Boston, Mass in September. 3 day event, get hype!
Anyone going to it? I don’t have transportation, was wondering if anyone was going to start up a car pool and split a hotel room (139 for four people, 35 a piece) or something. I’ve never been to a major before, so I’m a little excited/bummed about it.
I might be going.
Also CitizenCIA’s post is misleading. I thought it said the event will be on September 3rd.
Hi! I’m not sure if this is the place to post this, but I’m going to be moving to Providence in the fall. I haven’t been any to find anything big or consistent in the way of scenes in RI yet, but am I correct in saying that these are the closest options from Providence? How frequent do these places meet and how big are they?

Is there anything close that I might be missing? (I hope so!)
If it helps, I play UMVC3 and I’m hoping to get into AE.
If somebody has some place to play and I’m bored I’m down to mash that UMvC3 with guys I’m one of the strongest in NE lets playyy (and probably drink)
Oops, Sorry!
Unfortunately we don’t really meet in Fall River too much anymore.
The other two places have very healthy scenes that meet on Fridays.
GU also has sessions on Tuesdays, not sure how the turnout for those are.
Also Everyone: August 4th in Fall River, MA is SUBM #8. No large pot bonus or Chris G this time, but hopefully still a large turnout. If you missed the last one it was mega hype, so make it out to this one! And if you didn’t miss the last one, you know you have to come to this tournament.

Pretty much. Hopefully maybe we can find someone hosting some RI sessions.
Thanks for the help!
Is there maybe a carpool or public transportation that goes to either of these two areas? And do they use 360 or PS3?
I (used to?) try to go to FRL’s sessions as much as possible. He used to have plenty of 360 and PS3 setups thanks to us bringing in setups.
We can probably carpool, but I don’t think there’s any sort of public transportation that goes from RI to MA. RI’s public transports are RIPTA buses which only go around RI I think.
I talked to Hayato about potentially doing weekly sessions at Straight Shooters in Fall River. Will keep you updated. If this happens, I would like to see Mingo every week!
Make it happen
Is there anyone/anywhere to play in Rhode Island (especially Providence)? (Not necessarily a tournament, I guess.) I can’t really go one hour away to Massachusetts all the time to play…
I’m down to play. I’m usually in Narragansett, but sometimes in Providence.
Unfortunately I’m in Bentley U in Massachusetts :/. It was mainly a summer only thing before I headed off to college but I’ll be back in RI during winter/spring break so I’ll try to hold some more sessions & update the thread then.
I’m a new college student with only a bike and I don’t want to spend money on RIPTA… when are you in Providence? (Although I’m just so atrociously bad that it might not be worth it until I get better online or something…)
EDIT: Wait, RIPTA is free… would you mind playing/teaching a horrible scrub? ._.
Around Olneyville area.
Since when is Ripta free?
I wouldn’t mind playing/teaching a horrible scrub. As long as you are motivated and make the effort to get better, and that we’re not just wasting our time.
RIPTA is free for me because I’m a Brown student. Sorry for not clarifying that earlier.
I’m definitely willing to do whatever I can to get better. Maybe you can PM me your address? ._.
Thank you so much!
Are we gonna be playing in Providence or Narragansett? I’m not planning on being in Providence very often, and my place there isn’t very large. Possibly the other Rhode Islanders (hello Ewic) will be down to host?
My Narrgansett place is better, but I dunno if you wanna take the bus ride all the way there.
