CEOtaku Looks for Additional Community Support with Mascot Apparel

Much like they did for Community Effort Orlando 2014, CEO Gaming is giving the community the opportunity to support their upcoming anime-only tournament CEOtaku by purchasing one-of-a-kind apparel.

Fans will be able to pick up a shirt or hoodie feature event mascot Shiyo, designed by creator Joelyn “Shunao” Lai and emblazoned with a limited edition gold foil finish for that extra pop.

CEOtaku is scheduled for October 17-18 in Orlando, Florida. Organized with airdashers in mind, the tournament will feature competition in a number of titles, like Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, Persona, Melty Blood, and more, without a Street Fighter in sight. More details can be found through their official website.

Xiao Hai, Kazunoko, 801 Strider, Snake Eyez, and More Throw Down in Street Fighter V

Apart from the excellent weekend of competition in games that have already been released, SoCal Regionals 2015 also played host to a very special Street Fighter V exhibition. Made possible by Capcom, the build on display was the most up-to-date the public has seen thus far, with newer fighters like Zangief and Laura ready to be put to the test by event attendees.

In order to make sure the game was demonstrated by some of the best players around, Capcom chose a group of competitors featuring folks like QANBA’s Xiao Hai and Dakou, Kazunoko, PR Balrog of Evil Geniuses, Winterfox’s 801 Strider, and more to test their early skills in the upcoming game. While the eventual champion stuck with Ryu the whole way, there was a good deal of diversity, with Karin getting time to shine alongside newcomers and veterans alike.
