Northeast Mexico is a Smash region that consists of the Mexican states Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas. The region borders Texas to the North, the Northwest Mexico states Chihuahua and Durango to the west; the North Central Mexico states Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí and the East Mexico state Veracruz to the south.
It's considered one of the first notorious regions in the country in the early 2010's, with a few but strong players that competed in other countries, like JAVI and Aza in Melee, and Waymas in Brawl. However, the region has seen more representation during Smash 4 and Ultimate's lifespan, with many strong players such as Rox, the best Sheik player in the country, Meme, one of the best Yoshi players in North America. Nery, one of the best-known Isabelle players in the early metagame and one of the best in North America, Joker, one of the best Samus players in the world in the early metagame, JaZaR, the best Dr. Mario player in the world in 2023, and Many, the best Steve player in the country.
Also, Northeast Mexico is home of the BIT MASTER MTY, the largest tournament series in the region, and one of the largest in the country in the early metagame, also notorious for Fortune Ferret, We Tec Those and Thunderstruck.
