I've been trying to organize an NRS scene here in Eastern Iowa for 8 years. It hasn't gone well. There's always plenty of people playing Capcom games, and other more obscure fighters, but never an NRS game. We've had little flare ups where it seems like people are starting to be interested, only to be quickly snuffed out. I've driven to tournaments where I was the only NRS player that bothered to show up.
I guess what I'm saying is, I'm not opposed to trying again, but I highly doubt we'll get anything meaningful organized. Do you have any friends playing?
