*In the desolation of Springfield, an hour from St Louis, Peoria, and Champaign, and three hours from Chicago… there was a dream…
a dream of finding anyone to create a scene for SF4, far from the wilds of online play, a dream of tournaments and fierce competition which invariably bolsters skill to new and totally rad levels…*
Seriously though. Anyone a denizen of Springfield or one of the relatively close areas such as Decatur/Jacksonville/Taylorville/etc interested in participating in (if we get enough) ranbats, or all-night SF4 grindfests, or tournaments for prizes? I have a few locations and a ~10 year history of organizing, but in spite of all my efforts I haven’t found anyone beyond the level of super-noob Ken who I can play in the area.
No idea if there is anyone out there but we have a small-ish scene here in St. Louis with kinda-monthly ranbats. There’s one coming up in 2 weeks that should have a decent turnout and I’m sure there are hookups and such afterward. Anyways, hit up the STL thread if you need more info and check out the Aerial Rave tournament post in the tourney section.
