First Ward Productions Releases 'Smash Brotherhood of Florida' Doc

[The Derrit]

Last week, First Ward Productions quietly released their first Smash documentary, titled 'The Super Smash Brotherhood of Florida.' Florida's scene doesn't get a lot of attention compared to East/West Coast and MD/VA, but there is a strong and lively scene in the Sunshine State. The documentary follows two competitors looking to rise in the ranks and become respected players.

While it may not have the scale of The Smash Brothers documentary of last year, it is great to see lesser-represented communities put on display. Hopefully more communities will find ways to put their scene into the limelight.

I wonder how much attention this is really getting the Smash scene?

Finally the South has some representation. Hopefully Louisiana is next.

There's very few competitive players here in South Texas (including myself). Hopefully, I'll get into the Smash scene and start winning in my local tournaments so that I can show that any smasher can come from the most unexpected/unheard places.

I wonder if they'll do one for South Carolina.

Love how they offered a different POV on the smash scene than the more popular doc - it's from the perspective of newer/less experienced players, rather than top players. Instead of offering historical insight, they provide more relate-able experiences...it's pretty neat aha. Reminds you that your group is among the many others that are new and trying to move up in the scene at some point

Somebody over here in Washington should make one; very underrated scene.

Get involved in one of the many Texas smash groups. They will point you in the right direction.

Anything going on in Dallas my dude?

 

[Jobonoobdude]

NM should/might be doing one of these pretty soon

 

[smashbroskilla]

Nice vid. I was hoping to see old Florida tournament players in the vid but it was still good none-the-less.

 

[Kesno]

NC is growing as a smash scene. I'm one of the newer people that just started up. I've been playing for a year now and I can't wait to see how much better I get this year. Oh and I can't wait to start playing and teaching new people stuff.

 

[MudkipUniverse]

The reason I enjoyed this Documentary is because it shows how 2 players slowly gain experience, and how patience will help you get better.

 

[Kesno]

One more thing before I leave this post and never look at it again. One thing I've learned about playing smash is you got to have a good mindset. Against the better players in my state I always lose. In the beginning it was like 2-0'd 3 stocked both times. This is in Brawl BTW. I never felt down about it I always knew I wasn't good, but the thing is last time I played them I know I left that tourney with one thing if anything. I only lost to the PR players and yeah I got 2-0'd but it was last stock both times. I could also see the stress on their faces about me punishing them. I left that tourney knowing that "I made sure that they remembered me". I know that I can put a frown on their faces, so I know I can do it... eventually >_>. I keep the mindset right and don't get stressed out about playing them anymore. They may be good, but I can be better. I can't wait to play them again.

 

[Newt Floss]

This is a documentary about losing and then trying to save face. It's also boring.

 

[Illuvial]

I really enjoyed it, honestly! Was cool to see up and coming players point of view on the scene rather than just veterans

 

[the_irish_dude]

Anything going on in Dallas my dude?

Yea dude, the DFW scene is one of the biggest scenes out there and TLOC is a top tier stream.

Facebook DFW SMASH 4 or DFW PROJECT M, or DFW MELEE

Not bad, interesting watch. Great length though, over a half hour of that would be considered overkill imo
