The EZA Intramural Tournament of June
Added 2017-06-26 02:02:52 +0000 UTCHi Allies!
Normally we hold each intramural tournament on the second Tuesday of a month, but June just happens to be E3 month so who cares which week it is. Our candidates are all recent fighting game releases that probably would have each gotten their own group stream night any other time of the year:
Group Stream Night is every Tuesday night* at 6pm PT on twitch.tv/easyallies and archived with our other streams on youtube.com/easyalliesplays. *Next week's Group Stream Night will actually happen on Monday!
Love & Respect,
Kyle

None of the people who are going to be playing the games are FGC either. It is not like we'd see high level gameplay of Tekken or GG. People voted ARMS because it is wacky and more exciting to watch when the players and viewers both don't know anything about fighting games. Also calling it "disgusting" when people don't like the same thing as you just feeds into toxic FGC elitism. Conjecture about imaginary people and "REAL fighting games" also feed into that.

2017-06-28 05:44:01 +0000 UTCPoor tekken, woulda voted arms tho. I wonder if pokken would beat out tekken

2017-06-28 01:13:39 +0000 UTCEddie Goro's ending was such a huge troll to the character.
2017-06-27 01:43:24 +0000 UTCUgh it is disgusting how the majority of these people who voted don't appreciate depth in fighting games. Watch a lot of casuals play Dragon Ball Fighters Z, get slaughtered online, and whine how the game sucks. I voted for Rev 2...one of the two REAL fighting games in the list.
2017-06-27 01:39:27 +0000 UTCReally Arms? Ew
2017-06-26 20:18:21 +0000 UTCI would have preferred that game Ian keeps suggesting to all of these, but Arms will be fun, too, I guess...

2017-06-26 19:45:17 +0000 UTCEugh Arms
2017-06-26 18:53:15 +0000 UTCMan this is a hard choice. All would be fun but I think Arms would be the funniest option
erce
2017-06-26 17:21:36 +0000 UTCArms? Why?
2017-06-26 17:17:48 +0000 UTCWhy Arms? Tekken would've been so fun.

2017-06-26 16:05:38 +0000 UTCMan, ARMS will probably be fun but I'd love to see some classic Tekken beatdowns.
2017-06-26 13:07:26 +0000 UTCWarm up those bi's and tri's boys. You're playing arms. This will be a fun tournament
2017-06-26 10:53:05 +0000 UTCCome on Tekken 7. Would've been so good and maybe enjoyed some endings from the other games.

2017-06-26 10:01:42 +0000 UTCAh well, another time maybe Tekken =(

2017-06-26 09:34:03 +0000 UTCI haven't played Arms but it seems like something anyone can pick up and play (and win), unlike the 2D fighters where Ben would likely reign supreme 😉
2017-06-26 09:25:01 +0000 UTCI've wanted an Xrd group stream before I even heard of Rev2. Hope it shows up again in a non-tourney poll.
issa
2017-06-26 08:13:52 +0000 UTCIt just means the tournament only concerns the Allies as opposed to some large-scale, highly organized event.

2017-06-26 08:10:33 +0000 UTCI was like oh great Tekken 7! and then i saw Arms and lost all hope for Tekken, its okay Tekken.... its okay *wipes Tear*

2017-06-26 08:06:30 +0000 UTCWhat's the difference of a Tournament and an Intramural Tournament? I'm not from the US and google didn't help.
2017-06-26 07:24:03 +0000 UTCArms? Weird ok. Looks rather boring to me and hard to watch with split screen and over the shoulder camera, but ok, the people have spoken.
2017-06-26 06:31:07 +0000 UTCConsistent underdog voter
Russell Bruce
2017-06-26 06:11:58 +0000 UTCARMS, mandatory motion controls
MBUN
2017-06-26 05:14:49 +0000 UTCI guess ARMS will win, and it's probably a good fit for EZA, but I voted Tekken 7.
Ian Alexander
2017-06-26 04:07:51 +0000 UTCI know it won't win but man would love too see some Brian Fury beat downs Or the classic king vs armour king showdown
Matthew Palling
2017-06-26 04:03:24 +0000 UTCAgreed that GG is the best game on there but EZA will have a better time streaming Arms
VGJunky
2017-06-26 03:00:16 +0000 UTCI really want tekken.
Joey and Cait
2017-06-26 02:55:51 +0000 UTCCome on Tekken!

2017-06-26 02:53:09 +0000 UTCArms is the perfect pick up and play fighting game!
lq
2017-06-26 02:39:50 +0000 UTCGuilty Gear, just to give them a taste of what to expect when DB FighterZ comes out, both from an artsytle and gameplay perspective
Karl Williams
2017-06-26 02:34:08 +0000 UTCWe NEED Arms!
2017-06-26 02:32:18 +0000 UTCOh you know it has to be ARMS, and only motion controls.
2017-06-26 02:26:23 +0000 UTCGot to be arms since Guilty Gear is little to hardcore for a pick-up and play.
2017-06-26 02:25:04 +0000 UTCI know Tekken 7 is probably the most boring on the list, but I want it so bad!
Mac
2017-06-26 02:23:47 +0000 UTCTo be honest, I just voted Tekken 7 because I want to see Ben's hard work pay off.
Input One
2017-06-26 02:22:56 +0000 UTCGuilty Gear is unquestionably the best game out of the three, but Arms will make for the most entertaining stream. Tekken isn't all the interesting to watch or play if you're just mashing and while GG has Stylish mode, it's still pretty hard to follow as a spectator. The first time I played Guilty Gear it was with a group of friends who had all been playing fighting games for years and we were still getting lost in the madness onscreen.

2017-06-26 02:21:18 +0000 UTCArms - get the most allies in at once (2x2) and also, I'm not sure the other two games would be as good competition (wouldn't Ben just crush everyone else?)
2017-06-26 02:15:26 +0000 UTCFigured arms would run away with this. I'm actually surprised the poll wasn't to see what kind of arms tournament we wanted lol.

2017-06-26 02:14:10 +0000 UTC4 players, baby.
Branden Baisden
2017-06-26 02:12:20 +0000 UTCArms has the most potential for interesting upsets. Lets see it Allies!
Bradley Spies
2017-06-26 02:11:52 +0000 UTCI LOVE guilty gear but its a little too complex for the pick up and play nature of what these streams need. ARMS has the potential to be awesome
2017-06-26 02:10:13 +0000 UTCARMS is definitely not the best game on the list, but should be the most hilarious.
Kevin Weaver
2017-06-26 02:10:07 +0000 UTCWhile I love Guilty Gear and Tekken, I think Arms would be more fun to watch, and be more even ground for everyone.
2017-06-26 02:09:26 +0000 UTCTekken 7 bby
2017-06-26 02:08:07 +0000 UTCCant stop the switch baybeh!
Daniel Murray
2017-06-26 02:07:32 +0000 UTCGuilty Gear is the way to go, have people not seen that Arms is a bad game
2017-06-26 02:07:25 +0000 UTCPlz. Rev 2. Make the right choice, I believe in you.
2017-06-26 02:07:22 +0000 UTCIt'll lose. But I vote Tekken. For Ben's dojo
Greg Kettering
2017-06-26 02:06:46 +0000 UTCBummer, I've had more than my fill of ARMS even before it came out. Catch ya next tournament.

2017-06-26 02:06:39 +0000 UTCWorst game will win yay :(
Ibrahim Sozer
2017-06-26 02:06:16 +0000 UTCArms or bust, baby. Break out those Joy-Cons!
