PowerUp Episode #58 is here!
I was one of the unfortunate souls who could not attend CEO 2011 this past June, and after talking with head organizer Alex Jebailey I know that I missed one hell of a good time. Be prepared for some strong opinions and no-nonsense advice from the man who managed the largest EVO 2011 Tournament Season event.
Good stuff! I’ll be giving this one a listen in the car tomorrow!
Heya Kobayashi! Sounds good, and thanks for listening!
I think we need to do a podcast on Chicago Heart 3. I remember you talking a little bit about it with me at UFGT7. I will send you a PM about it : )
PowerUp Episode #59 is here!
Chicago Heart 3, coming August 13, is not your average tournament. Sure they will have SSFIV:AE, MvC3, and MK9, but those games are not the focus and both organizers, Kobayashi and HeartNana, are proud to support games such as GGAC, BBCS2 and AH3. Kobayashi comes on the podcast to tell me a little about himself and a lot about his involvement with Chicago Heart 3. I also get an update on the boom in the Chicago scene that has happened in just the past few weeks. HeartNana could not make it on, but check out this Q&A I had with him.
I’ll frontpage it this weekend when the news slows down, Nathan.

Hey thanks, Keits : )
Nice Podcast btw guys, our scene here in Chicago is definitely blowing up big time. Thanks for the support Osirun and Keits!!
PowerUp Episode #60 is here!
TFA WeaponsLeft comes onto the podcast to share his history in the fighting game community. He also brings up interesting points about how the scene can continue to grow as we are on the cusp of an important transition. I wanted to know what WeaponsLeft felt about the role of teams, such as The Fighter’s Alliance, in the ever-changing scene.
Listening to it. At the part where he is talking about Jason Cole.
Thanks for listening!
Really Good Podcast. Just to clarify, I think that I saw WeaponsLeft at UFGT7 stream IIRC playing in the character auction with Zangief, didn’t he make grand finals in that tournament?
You know I’m not sure. He did reply to a comment on the PowerUp website beneath his podcast episode, so if you really want to know I’d suggest commenting directly on the site. Hopefully he’ll get back to ya!
PowerUp Episode #61 is already here!
Keits is here to tell me all about Fighter X Shooter, coming up September 2 – 4 at the Crowne Plaza Chicago, Northbrook. This is the same great venue that brought you UFGT7 and Keits is teaming up with the same great crew to help make all your equipment dreams come true; Focus Fire.
Thank you for having me on, Osirun!
My buddy Nick made it out to CH3 today. He said he wouldnt have know unless for your podcast. He went 0-2 but had a fun time.
I’m glad he had a good time! I’ll try to keep my eyes on the forums for the more obscure events out there and see about doing more podcasts about them : )
@Keits: Of course! Anytime.
KC had a pretty big tourney this weekend from what I heard. EMP showed up as well.
I did see that one, but by the time I did it was too close to the event for a podcast to help build much interest : (
It’s cool. I started my new job and got a new schedule otherwise I would have been in there like swimwear.
