Passion for Smashin is this Saturday. This will be Bradford’s first larger scale tournament. We got players from Buffalo (including the Link main Stro), Jamestown, Fredonia, and NEOH (Beegs, the Marth main, maybe coming) all coming to test the strength of Bradford’s new Smash scene in both Melee and Smash 4. Here is the facebook event,

We will be streaming Melee and Smash 4 on our twitch channel, twitch.tv/panysmash if the internet at the venue decides to be nice.
Since I cant seem to get the facebook event link to work, here is the Smashboards page.
