    What’s your nearest major city? Work with the TOs of the most similar game’s local and make it a side bracket with a small pot bonus or something, and see who shows up. Otherwise, there are majors like Combo Breaker and, this year, East Coast Throwdown running the game as an official tournament.

      The nearest local that runs Skullgirls is juicy in Orlando/Oviedo and it’s not every week. I’ve been talking to the people who run the closest local about it but there’s not much interest. Everyone just wants strive and Tekken

        You could probably make that work with Strive. Just make sure you’re helping them out and pulling your own weight. I know CEOtaku runs Skullgirls, and I know there are some SG players in the state, but I can’t speak for how much of a hike they are from Orlando. I think there’s hope for you yet. Otherwise, you can approximate the experience with online tournaments, as there’s one almost every night of the week.
