Texas has been home to a significant ''[[Melee]]'' scene since the game's early competitive life, although it has not been as strong as other large regions talent-wise, with only one player each being currently ranked in the [[2017 SSBMRank]] and [[Panda Global Rankings]]. The region is also known for hosting one of the strongest ''[[Smash 4]]'' and ''[[Project M]]'' scenes as well, and was considered one of the "big four" ''[[Brawl]]'' regions (along with [[Tristate Area]], [[SoCal]], and [[Florida]]), although the inactivity of its players in the pre-''Smash 4'' era caused the region to lose much of its strength. Texas has been home to major grassroots tournaments, including {{b|Low Tier City|tournament series}}, {{b|WHOBO|tournament series}}, and [[Battle of the Five Gods]], as well as many larger eSports events, including multiple [[MLG]] events, [[DreamHack]], and [[PAX Arena]].

Texas is a Smash region that encompasses the U.S. state of Texas. Due to the significant travel time it takes to traverse across the large state, Texas is further divided into smaller subregions, surrounding its largest cities: Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin.

Texas has been home to a significant Melee scene since the game's early competitive life, although it has not been as strong as other large regions talent-wise, with only one player each being currently ranked in the 2017 SSBMRank and Panda Global Rankings. The region is also known for hosting one of the strongest Smash 4 and Project M scenes as well, and was considered one of the "big four" Brawl regions (along with Tristate Area, SoCal, and Florida), although the inactivity of its players in the pre-Smash 4 era caused the region to lose much of its strength. Texas has been home to major grassroots tournaments, including Low Tier City, WHOBO, and Battle of the Five Gods, as well as many larger eSports events, including multiple MLG events, DreamHack, and PAX Arena.
