SSBMontreal is a nonprofit organization based in Montreal that hosts and streams events for the Smash community. A local player named Rice founded this organization in late 2013 with the goal of reigniting the once dying Super Smash Bros. Melee scene with regular weeklies. This soon expanded to include the entire Super Smash Bros. franchise (with Project M instead of Super Smash Bros. Brawl). In late 2014, Rice left the ownership of the organization to Kyle. Kyle remains the head of SSBMontreal to this day.
Through donations and venue fees, SSBMontreal has amassed enough static setups to be self-sustained for each of their weeklies; the organization does not rely on players bringing setups. Gaming monitors are used instead of CRTs due to ease of transportation. The monitors have been tested to have lag comparable to a CRT. SSBMontreal also has their own streaming equipment usually manned by streamer Baz. Gameplay and streaming equipment are available for rent and have been used in many local monthlies.
The organization also occasionally runs casual tournaments and maintains freeplay setups at events like Otakuthon.
