Quick revival of this thread. GGAC re-release has created a surprisingly large (for GG) scene in Huntsville, where we have a good May player (who possibly will learn someone else in R), a good Chipp player, and a good Slayer player (and not to toot my own horn too much, but I play a decent Axl). We've also got a few people who play Baiken, Anji, Venom, Sol, Ky, and Millia to varying degrees of seriousness and success. I know there are folks in BHam as well who play, and in Auburn Raph plays a great og Baiken (and I think other folks are playing down there). Oh also we have some scrub in Birmingham named Raekwon who plays Potemkin .
Also in Huntsville we've got all of 3 people who play Persona. I play Elizabeth (and apparently there's like 50 in the tri-state area for some reason), another player plays Yu, and then another one can't seem to decide ever. We all play Kanji for lulz. As for BB, it's dead in Huntsville but there used to be a scene, when CP hits there's probably gonna be people again. I know I'll at least check it out, as I joined the FGC too late to really jump on BB (and I didn't really like what I played of CS).
Finally there is a tournament in Huntsville on December 15th that will feature Persona 2v2 and singles as well as GG 2v2 and singles. Facebook event page for this: http://www.facebook.com/events/380429212037789/
Any online warriors in AL who have no idea where people are?
Edit: To clarify, the GG scene in Huntsville started back up more or less in June or July, way before the xBox port, so we've got a little bit more experience compared to people who came in just this past month.
