Going to Italy Opzioni

[Akkien]

Hey guys! I'm Akkien (AK). I'm a smasher from Venezuela that's going to Italy for a few months starting on April 3rd. I'll be near Napoli and I wanted to know if there were some places I could practice on, or torneys I could join while I'm there (mostly for PM and Melee). I come from a very small scene, especially for PM, but we have a couple good players here and some others that have already left and put their names on bigger tournaments (...Wito, BX, Palo, Nino, Blea Gelo, Wari...).

I'm gonna be around Caserta for most of the time but if there are any smashers nearby that could help me practice and not get rusty over these months, that'd be much appreciated. I would love to play PM (hopefully 3.5 or 3.6 -just announced-) but Melee will do just as fine as I main Marth/Lucario.

I'm not very fluent in italian so sorry for the english post, but I can perfectly understand it so it's ok if you want to answer in italian (:

Hey Akkien, welcome to Italy
We don't really have a P:M scene (there are just a few players here and there that play it for fun), and the Melee scene is kinda dead, but luckily you can find some decent players in Rome, near Naples. Also we will be having a couple of tournaments in May: one in Bologna (mostly Smash4, with very few Melee players) and one in Jesi, near Ancona (focused both on Smash4 and Melee).
Here are the links to the Facebook events:

Aesis Double Smash - the tournament in Jesi

ICARUS - the tournament in Bologna

if you're interested in Melee and can attend only one of these (because travelling in Italy could be quite expensive), I'd recommend the one in Jesi because it's closer to Rome and we will have a bigger Melee attendance there, I guess.

I hope this helps
