Editing Southeast

The '''Southeast''' is a ''Smash'' region that consists of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Outside of ''Smash'', the term often includes other states such as the [[Carolinas]], [[Georgia]], and [[Florida]], however those states have individual scenes large enough to be considered separate regions. In addition, Louisiana has on occasion been grouped with [[Texas]], due to Louisiana's proximity to Texas leading to frequent crossovers between the two scenes. All four states have notable tournament scenes, though Mississippi's scene is smaller than the other three.

Though often overshadowed by its surrounding regions, many notable players have originated from the Southeast, especially from Louisiana. Some of the first notable players from the region were {{Sm|TheReflexWonder}}, who was known for being one of the few successful ''[[Brawl]]'' {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}} players in competitive play, and {{Sm|PikaChad}}, the second-best ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|Pikachu}} player in the world. The scene strengthened as the 2010s progressed, thanks to the rise of {{Sm|CaptainZack}}, {{Sm|Magi}}, and {{Sm|Samsora}}. CaptainZack's ban and Samsora's move to [[Florida]] weakened the region in ''[[Ultimate]]''; however, the scene nevertheless was able to maintain a noteworthy playerbase.
