'''Chūbu ''' is a ''Smash'' region comprised of five prefectures. These prefectures include Aichi, Gifu, Nagano, Shizuoka, and Yamashi and sometimes Mie. Traditionally, the region would also include the [[Hokuriku]] region; however Hokuriku is often separated as a ''Smash'' region due to its relative isolation.

Traditionally, the region would also include the [[Hokuriku]] region; however Hokuriku is often separated as a ''Smash'' region due to its relative isolation.  


Chūbu is typically regarded as the third most significant Japanese region in Smash. The most prominent tournaments typically occur in the Aichi prefecture, around the Nagoya metropolitan area.  The region hosted one of the earliest notable  ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'' tournament series known as the {{Trn|Japan United Smash Festa Round-Robin}}. Out of this era rose players like {{Sm|Sigurd}}, a high level {{SSBM|Marth}}, and {{Sm|Smasher}}. Since then several other notable series have developed in the region including {{Trn|Karisuma}}, {{Trn|Gifu smash}} and {{Trn|EVISUMA}}. Karisuma, directed by {{Sm|Isotaku}}, in particular has gained notoriety for the talent it attracts.

Since then several other notable series have developed in the region in particular {{Trn|Karisuma}}, {{Trn|Toyota Grand Slum|series}} and {{Trn|UltCore|series}}, all events that regularly attract talent from all across Japan.  


While Chūbu was unable to keep pace with [[Kantō]] and {{b|Kansai|region}} with later games, the region still saw the development of significant talent. ''Brawl'' saw the rise of many of the regions's most famous players including {{Sm|DIO}}, {{Sm|Earth}}, {{Sm|Fuwa}}, {{Sm|Sigma}},{{Sm|Taiheita}}, {{Sm|Tsu~ Summer}}, {{Sm|Uto}}, and {{Sm|YB}}. Earth, in particular, would become known as the world's strongest [[Pit]] player in both ''Brawl'' and ''Smash 4'' and would be regarded as among the strongest Japanese players. Smash 4 also saw players like {{Sm|Hatsuyuki}}, {{Sm|ikep}} and {{Sm|Lv.1}} develop a reputation as some of the top players at their characters.

Latest revision as of 15:52, November 24, 2024

Chūbu is a Smash region comprised of five prefectures. These prefectures include Aichi, Gifu, Nagano, Shizuoka, and Yamashi and sometimes Mie. Traditionally, the region would also include the Hokuriku region; however Hokuriku is often separated as a Smash region due to its relative isolation.

Chūbu is typically regarded as the third most significant Japanese region in Smash. The most prominent tournaments typically occur in the Aichi prefecture, around the Nagoya metropolitan area. The region hosted one of the earliest notable Smash 64 and Melee tournament series known as the Japan United Smash Festa Round-Robin. Out of this era rose players like Sigurd, a high level Marth, and Smasher. Since then several other notable series have developed in the region in particular Karisuma, Toyota Grand Slum and UltCore, all events that regularly attract talent from all across Japan.

While Chūbu was unable to keep pace with Kantō and Kansai with later games, the region still saw the development of significant talent. Brawl saw the rise of many of the regions's most famous players including DIO, Earth, Fuwa, Sigma,Taiheita, Tsu~ Summer, Uto, and YB. Earth, in particular, would become known as the world's strongest Pit player in both Brawl and Smash 4 and would be regarded as among the strongest Japanese players. Smash 4 also saw players like Hatsuyuki, ikep and Lv.1 develop a reputation as some of the top players at their characters.
