This episode’s guests are none other than West Coast Warzone tournament organizers John Rog and Kai. We talk about Evo, SBO results and of course, the upcoming West Coast Warzone tournament which is going to be held September 4-6 (Labor Day Weekend!!) at the Irvine Hilton in Southern California.
If you haven’t seen the promo video (shot and edited by Mike Ross), check it out:
SF4 Registration Discount!
During the show, we mention a special promotion for people who sign up through my site. From now until August 22nd, you can sign up to play SF4 at Warzone for 50% off the registration fee, so $20 altogether (plus $.75 to cover paypal fees). If you want to sign up to play other/additional games, unfortunately due to Paypal limitations, you’ll have to register on the official Warzone site and you don’t get the discount. So hurry up and sign up now before the promo ends by filling out the form and clicking Buy Now. Promo’s over, sorry! See you there!

Got an update with From Scrubs to Winners’ Clubs protegés MYK and John Rog. Me and MYK talk some Ryu stuff and me and John talk about California Regionals, his first top 8 at James Games and almost getting top 8 at the last Video 94 tournament.
MadCatz Street Fighter 4 Tournament Edition Joystick Still Available!
As I mentioned on the show, there are still a few of these sticks available and they’re going fast! If you haven’t yet pre-ordered yours, do it now before you have to wait a few months for the second batch to show up! You don’t want to be playing SF4 on an Xbox/PS3 controller do you?
gootecks Needs a PS3 Fund
Also, I’ve gotten a lot of feedback from listeners/readers saying that I should get a PS3 instead of an Xbox 360. One guy, wBENDERw, even started it off by donating for a PS3 before I even asked. So if you think that Xboxes suck and PS3s are awesome and that I should have a PS3 too, well now here’s your chance.
Same deal applies, anybody who donates $20 or more gets an hour of Street Fighter 4 games in with me and afterwards we can talk about the match. Even if you can only donate a few bucks (I know times are tough), I’ll still make sure we get some games in.
Get $25 Back For Switching to AT&T
Also still going on is the sweet referral deal that AT&T has going on right now. If you refer a friend, you get $25 and so does your friend. I just recently switched to AT&T and got an iPhone 3g, so if you were thinking of doing the same (or just switching to AT&T), please send me an email at gootecks *AT* gootecks *DOT*COM* and I will send you my referral code and we’ll both get 25 bucks.

From Scrubs to Winners’ Clubs protegé John Rog made his first Top 8 last weekend at a tournament at James Game. Not exactly his goal of Top 5 at AI, but it’s definitely progress. Here is some footage from his win to make it to Top 8, followed by a post-game interview. [click to continue…]
From Scrubs To Winners’ Clubs protegé John Rog recently took a trip out to New York to do some training with fighting game legend Justin Wong (just kidding, he went to visit his sister and stopped by Chinatown Fair to play Justin, but it sounds way cooler to say that he flew across the country to train with Justin). Justin was kind enough to set aside some time to get some games in with him as well as do a short interview which you can see after the jump. Thanks to John Rog and Justin for making it happen!
