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 large individual scenes and as such are considered separate regions in Smash. 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 , who was known for being one of the few successful Brawl players in competitive play, and , the second-best Melee player in the world. The scene strengthened as the 2010s progressed, thanks to the rise of , , and . 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.
