Power Underwhelming is a Smash crew located mostly on the East Coast and Mideast.
At their height they were one of the top 3 crews in the DC area (the other two being Team Ben and H2YL). Chu Dat was in the crew from around September 2004-July 2005. July 2005 marked the end essentialy of PU competitvely. Alpha Zealot placed 23rd at GS2, ChuDat took 2nd, and Kiraki and Muffin both took 29th (IIRC). This tournament had over 120 entrants, and all four members placed very well.
Power Underwhelming also ran the tournament series known as BOMB. It had four incarnations. BOMB 1 and 2 each had less than 40 people. BOMB 3 had over 70 people (large size for a spring 2005 tournament) and BOMB4 (November 2005) had over 100 people (still one of the top 6 or 7 largest east coast tournaments).
Members
The members of Team Underwhelming are:
Muffin King was once considered one of the best Mario players in the country and his name is still dropped when ever a Mario topic comes up usually, however he is currently retired due to working in Lebanon. Alpha Zealot currently works for Major League Gaming as their Smash feature writer. Kiraki, while never being very well known, did very well at early DC area tournaments (9th at DCSS). Muffin King and Chu Dat have teamed together at several tournaments, I think they best they have placed is top 5, and they have beaten such notable teams as Wes/Azen. Alpha Zealot teamed with Kiraki for a long time before his retirement, with their highest placing being top 4 or 5, and has also teamed with KM and with Vist.
