The character may only be mediocre

Matter of community training eachother to be better, dude. NY and Cali play all sorts of people all the time and the number of people involved is so much greater.

Yeah, I'm not questioning the superiority of other coasts compared to mine, because like I said earlier, most of my community HATES Brawl. There was a Tourney (forgot the name) that was supposed to have over 150 participants for Chicago, and guess how many showed up?

60.

Brawl is decaying over here, at least it is in IL. The point I was getting across was that I train with my clan and it helps out a ton. I branch off and learn (and read/talk) to other great players as well, so basically I can keep myself up to date. That's all I'm saying. As far as the community getting better? I really don't see that happening with Brawl, unfortunately. Reminds me almost of FFXI, where dead game -> dead ends. I really hope it gets better (the community, that is. How many times do you hear vets say "I play Brawl for money" or, "Melee is better" on a day-to-day basis?), and the level of competitiveness gets even further, because right now I'm real tempted to just quit and go back to Melee D:

NYC lost its brawl weekly and only has a melee bi-weekly atm.
