'''New England''' is a Smash region located in the Northeastern United States. It corresponds to the general definition of the New England states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Southwestern Connecticut, primarily Fairfield County, also overlaps with the [[Tristate Area]] due to being part of the New York City metropolitan area. Within New England, the largest tournament activity can be found in the Boston metropolitan area, although tournament activity exists throughout the region.

Within New England, the largest tournament activity can be found in the Boston metropolitan area, although tournament activity exists throughout the region.


Though considered a weaker region compared to the neighboring Tristate region, New England has been home to an active ''Smash'' scene since ''Melee''{{'}}s early years; its earliest-known player was {{Sm|KoreanDJ}}, one of the best players in the world during the pre-''Brawl'' era, and there were several other notable Smashers during this time that hailed from the region, including {{Sm|Cort}} and {{Sm|Darc}}. The scene grew larger during the 2010s, when the region became known for hosting one of the biggest college and university ''Smash'' scenes in the country, due to its large student population. New England was the birthplace of {{Trn|The Melee Games}} and other college ''Smash'' events, thanks to the work of dedicated TOs such as {{Sm|MattDotZeb}}. Their growth culminated in the rise of the {{Trn|Shine}} series, which was often considered the final major ''Smash'' event of the summer. Their rise and the Shine series gave New England a greater presence in the national scene, which only served to improve as the region's two best ''[[Smash 4]]'' players, {{Sm|Marss}} and {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, became one of the greatest players in ''[[Ultimate]]''{{'}}s early metagame.
New England has been home to an active ''Smash Bros.'' scene since the release; its earliest-known player was {{Sm|KoreanDJ}}, one of the best players in the world during the pre-''Brawl'' era. Although New England today is relatively weaker than the United States' other major regions today, it is known for hosting one of the biggest college and university ''Smash'' scenes in the country, due to its large student population. New England was the birthplace of [[The Melee Games]] and other college ''Smash'' events, thanks to the work of dedicated TOs such as {{Sm|MattDotZeb}}. Its largest tournament series is {{Trn|Shine}}, which was often considered the final major event of the summer up until its conclusion.
 
Following the arrival of the 2020s, however, New England's presence in the more prominent ''Smash'' titles shrank, due to the decline of the Shine series leading to its conclusion in 2023 and the region's best players either becoming inactive or having weaker results, with very few newer players making as big of an impact as the veterans. The former left the region without a consistent major tournament series — ''Ultimate'' especially did not have a single major tournament in New England during the post-pandemic metagame. Conversely, the ''[[Brawl]]'' and ''[[Project+]]'' scenes remain sizeable, the former due to the metagame's best players originating from New England, such as {{Sm|Cody}} and {{Sm|Mikeray4}}, and the latter due to the {{Trn|Blacklisted|series}} tournament series being one of the few remaining major ''Project+'' tournament series.
