Today is the start of a new project that I’m either going to call “From Chumps to Champs” or “From Scrubs to the Winners Clubs.”  And no, I didn’t come up with those names, my buddy John Rog Van Damme did.  Anyways, so the project or experiment or whatever you want to call this is going to consist of me training two players, John Rog and MYK.  The goal is to get them to place Top 8 in a tournament between now and March 15, 2009, so it’s a three month project.

In this podcast, I interview both of them separately and talk with them about the first things I need them to do, as well as what they’re having trouble with and some guidance on what they need to work on this coming week.

You can expect weekly status updates either by blog or more likely, via podcast.  It’s either going to be in attached to the end of the regular show or it’s going to be it’s own separate show every week, depending on how long it is.

About John Rog:

• Only played Street Fighter casually up until recently
• Got 17th at the Denjin Arcade California Regionals Qualifier and at the most recent Arcade Infinity Ranking Battle, so his goal is Top 5, not Top 8
• Uses Balrog

About MYK

• Qualified for SBO 2007 in Japan for Tekken
• Top 3 in California in Tekken
• Uses Ryu
