It's too bad that KillaOne is somewhat known for being denied the NCAA Challenge championship after giving up a Hail Mary touchdown. However, KillaOne has had his share of other big-time moments that have gone his way.

Daniel aka KillaOne made his presence felt by getting to Survivor Sunday during the Anaheim Madden Challenge, pulling off a few big upsets along the way. He plans to do the same in Orlando this weekend.

I had a chance to interview him last week about the upcoming tournament. We talked about potential upsets, what he did well in Anaheim and who he thinks will stun the field in Orlando.

I wanted to interview someone in the Madden Challenge standings but who has to go to Orlando with a win-or-out scenario. Big Bread Ced is definitely one of those players. He's 27 in the points, but the only way he can get to the Finals Tournament is if he reaches the championship match in the Orlando regional.

Cedric said he's going to be using the Titans (which I think will be a heavily used team) hoping that it'll get him to the championship match. More than 200 players will be standing in his way as he tries to get to the Promised Land.

There's other topics we cover in this interview, including his practice time and the HB direct snap.

LOS ANGELES -- I had plans to interview Shizza for a while, but time never presented itself. I finally had a chance on Sunday night.

He's probably the best pad player in Southern California. He's finished in the top 10 in a few tournaments and was a presence at the LA Riots tournament last month.

He finished third at the latest UGTL tournament on Sunday in Echo Park. In this interview, I asked him about his performance, his pad setup, which console he prefers, and some other related topics.

SIMI VALLEY - It was a tough finish for Mongolo Robocop, who ended up second in the Denjin HD Remix Ranbats 2.3 tournament on Saturday night. Robocop lost, 4-1 in the title match to DGV. For most of the final match, DGV controlled the field, giving Robocop only a few chances to break through.

Robocop went with Cammy and Chun Li for most of the tournament. Down 2-0 in the championship, he switched from Cammy to Chun Li and then took a narrow loss. He gained back a win in Game 4, but DGV took him out one game later.

In this interview he talks about playing against DGV, using Cammy and Chun Li, and what he needs to do to win the next tournament.
