Survey to Help with Next Betting Special

Any word on when the betting special is coming out? Always looking forward to it every E3!

Bonus Question: Betting specials featuring Huber V Bosman are the reason for the season?

Jeff Robertson

Is this common knowledge, like just a nickname that would be easily confused? Or is it just extremely specific trivia that would never come up in a normal conversation between americans

Mags Moratto

I want a bet involving Scoffs and Shocks

Super3dcow

With that leaked rollerderby game, a big boy MUST slip.

Fabian Overdijkink

A big boy must slip. Soooo close during Ubisoft's conference!

Yusss. I love that I get to participate in this way.

Michael Federico

FYI, “Big Ben” represents some ambiguousness. The tower has never officially been called Big Ben. It was called St Stephens Tower and then renamed to Elizabeth Tower in 2012. “Big Ben” is the nickname for the Great Bell of Westminster, the largest bell in the clock tower, responsible for its famous chimes at the beginning of every hour.

Harrison Holt-McHale

My body is ready

Chris K

I was wondering the same thing. Though I would frame it as "fake apology that makes you angrier than if he said nothing at all". Nyuck nyuck.

Wool

Slip or trip

Caleb Moran

When you say throw an object that hits the camera does that include a Smash Bros character getting a screen KO off a throw attack?

James

Cant wait! I'm hoping this comes up as a kind of "let's see how the community bet" once answers are locked in.

Chris Brabbs

it hurt so bad to click no on this, right?

The bet about Retro Studios needs to be more specific... does "new" mean an unannounced project... or just something we havent seen before. Both would be considered new. We know they are working on Metroid Prime 4... so if we see that... does that count?

Mitchell Collier

That was fun, got me more in the e3 hype mood:D

David Barka

I got in one mindset and one mindset alone to answer these questions: "Please be excited!!"

Huber's "absolute unit" drop in MM ep3 was legendary

REVEAL HIMSELF. Always love that phrase.

I live for bets!

Justin Greene

We almost had it before but no chance we get that lucky again

Idk if you can track it but if any patreons get 100% they should get some type of shout-out in the results episode!

Yes.

Royal Mudkip

Big boy slip ain’t happening folks.

Corey Swafford

I screenshot my answers so I can see if I am a bet master. Some of those were tricky, didn't let the hype get me though.

POKEY CLYDE

I don't know if it will happen, but I want to BELIEVE that X will show up.

Zaths

SO excited for the betting special! Thanks for bringing it back!

LeeLore

I see "Will a Skateboarder do an ollie" and my heart breaks as I grow closer to the realization I will never see a Skate 4.

Those are some Spicy Bets!!!

These questions are amazing

Jesse Sousa

Final bets/betting specials are honestly one of the best pieces of content that has come out of GT/Easy Allies. Too many good quotes and moments from past episodes to count.

Babak Karimian

Man those are some fun questions!

Thank you! Thank you! for including us in the betting prep!!! <3

JessieBlu

Ah, but no "Double-Jump" question...hmm. ;)

JessieBlu

Lock em in!

JessieBlu

an absolute unit will slip

Some of these are tough, including some total guesses. :o Good move focusing on studio prep, BTW. P.S. BETS!!!!!!!

TurboChickenMan

Is it an anthropomorphic bird, as in is it consciously skateboarding? If not, does an ollie by sheer luck (say, some object hits the skateboard to elevate it) count?

TurboChickenMan

Big boy is definitely gonna be slipping

Most of the world associates the tower with "Big Ben". They would probably clarify this as what they mean at some point. There could be some nitpicking in regards to the tower vs. the clock, but since neither are the actual "Big Ben", I'd think the whole structure would be settled on.

TurboChickenMan

I’ve been wondering when the betting special was going to happen. Can’t wait!

Two characters about to kiss, but then someone distracts them.

Star Tsurugi

Looking forward to that big boy slip!

c ek

Camera lens will be shot. Like... in Death Stranding, a camera will be on the table...and it gets shot. Big Boys will not slip... they will be pushed over. Todd Howard apologizing? Did Unrepentant Bosman apologize? Eagle dive off Big Ben It will be a BOWSETTE joke! Yes, big deals in the works... Tony Hawk is a very old man... DC and Rocksteady have no idea how to make a game that isn't Batman v Joker. Sad, but true. Love will be respected. Sifo-Dyas will reveal himself. FFVIIR in 2022 Doom Eternal is the frontliner! What else are they gonna show? Square Enix will NOT show the Avengers game. But they will say "please be excited for future announcements." Mega Man Legends will be revealed only in your heart, Kyle.

Star Tsurugi

This was fun. Looking forward to the special!

Cloisterance

Hang on a sec- What is an interruption in a romantic scene? Like a 4th wall break a la Deadpool?!

On the Todd Howard question, does a cheeky, sarcastic apology count?

Jason I.

Great questions. This has got me HYPED for E3.

The big boy is back. Do we need to clarify the whole slipping/tripping debacle?

Andrew Chalmers

Great questions I went with my gut and smirked as I went through! I would have chuckled but I'm on a train!

Matthew Borg

This was fun! These were good questions to just choose an answer for within a few seconds, going with my gut response.

I don't mind saying my answers: A Big Boy will NOT slip DOOM Eternal will be in the 2nd half of the conference (should be centerpiece) There will be NO romantic scenes Animal Crossing should be the main focus, both Direct AND Booth, so yes, characters should be on the show floor There WILL be a new Rabbids game.... as a Nintendo Collab with Wario A Skateboarder will NOT do an Ollie Retro Studios won't be present Wonder Woman won't be in Rocksteady's next game Final Fantasy VII: Remake SHOULD have a release date if Nomura teased release plans are set prior to the next news Phil Spencer's speech will take less than 24 seconds from introduction (I actually think it's possible he'll talk after a cold open with an intro at all). Mega Man X will NOT be present Nintendo will not be present in ANY capacity, spoken or otherwise, at Xbox Todd Howard won't apologize. Pete Hines will. Microsoft wont talk load times about their next console. The name? Maybe. Big Ben will NOT be interacted with in the Watch Dogs 3 presentation If we see Square-Enix's Avengers, Captain America will only have one look. Halo: Infinite will focus on story, not multiplayer, during the conference A character will NOT throw something hitting a camera lens I THINK Doug Bowser might not even be in the Direct We WILL see a character from Episode IV in Jedi: Fallen Order (Be it a droid or imperial like Tarkin).

Brandon K Gann

Several of these were really good. The retro one really pulled at my bias so I had to say yes even though it's unlikely.

GenWoofles

Does the ollie count if the skateboarder is a bird?

Cody Ficker

I love the non yes or no questions.

Ibrahim Sozer

Great questions, feels good being involved with such a coveted show

Jeffrey Tessar

I can say with some certainty that will not be the format

Easy Allies

Love this idea, but I can see a whole heap of possible problems with one question. Big Ben is a bell. Not the clock, not the tower that houses it, but the main bell within Elizabeth Tower. Not suggesting anyone would try to twist such a small thing into a whole drama, but it's possible. *ahem*

Steve

To be completely honest, almost all of these were serious noodle-scratchers. Nice job, Bosman!

Bob Richardson

The debate is the best part tho

"Will a big boy slip?" * required question. XD

Deekman

Even though you said they might not be used at all, I've never felt so invested. Roll on E3!

Would it be possible to let us know if we are returning to a Huber v Bosman betting special with you guys drafting teams?

Jordan Brown

ITS THE SAME THING! :P

Rammer

Could you add an option for us to save our results? Like have them emailed to ourselves? That way we can play from home.

There are some really interesting bets in there :)

What definition are we using for a "slip"?

Just reading through these cracks me up and gets me hype for E3.

rob

Time for bets!

Yes

Olf Himself

Also by 'Roam the Show Floor', I think that's a bit vague. Would it count if it were just the Nintendo E3 booth?

FruitFrakker

YES! Thank you so much for involving the community in this! <3

Sebastian Hall

I loved participating in this. Thank you for the opportunity!

Tiana Salazar

I'm so ready for the Easy Allies E3 2019 Betting Special and of course the Easy Allies E3 2019 Betting Results Show, so hype! Also happy that the big boy question made a return, double down on big boys slipping.

Nicholas Poer

This is a great idea Kyle. What if you used the Patreon results in the Results Special and talk about what the allies thought, beyond just you and the Allies.

TravelingSnowman

Love that a big boy slipping is returning

Jon Cordeiro

That would definitely qualify

Easy Allies

Curious @EasyAllies, when you say *A* release date, does that mean for a first episode? I could see them giving a date for Episode I without any further dates.

FruitFrakker

A big boy will SLIP not TRIP.

Brian Denu

Those were fun questions! Can't wait for the betting special

Hey those are great questions. E3 HYPE

Mac

Putting on my green visor just to take the survey!

Tyler Travis

Even if these questions end up having zero relation to the betting special, I'd love to see the final results.

iconmaster

Nice questions, got my hype pumping!

Ville Ranto

Thanks for including us, the betting specials are some of my favourite bits you guys do

Captain_Falcpwn

Done, looking forward to Bets!

Richard G Flowers

I realized I was clicking NO to most things. I think something broke in me. I think since Session wasn’t Skate 4 I lost hope.

Listen...all I know is that “Will a big boy slip?” question made me burst out laughing lol. Had a blast answering the survey 😂

Can't wait.

Dennis M.

This is what it took to take my e3 HYPE to TOP TIER. I felt like I was a part of eza betting special answering these. I even imagined the rock music and Kyle stifling chuckles

Nineteenth

I just finished the survey. I tried to be as honest as I could but I was very tempted to hit yes to everything because I want to see it all happen. Doing this with no stakes involved makes me worry that most will just choose what they want to see and not what they believe they will actually see. I would love to have a system where we are all ranked and we can see where we stand with everyone else that participated. I believe we will get more accurate results. Having said all that, I am happy to have been able to participate in the process. Thank you.

Mikehook1

Time For Bets

Jose Gutierrez

These questions were incredible.

Ian Patterson esquire.

The easy Allies betting specials are honestly my favorite part of e3

Love it

Eugene

I'd argue it doesn't count if he doesn't make it himself

I see we're being asked the important questions this year. Though you should be a bit more clear on what defines a "big boy slip". Don't want to have that debate again.

Kristen G. Rosario

What if the Direct contains a Doug Bowser / Bowser joke that is not made by Doug Bowser himself?

Ian Barker

thanks kyle, can't wait

sam

The wait is agonizing lol

Some great questions in there. Can't wait for it! Patreons vs allies!?

Sven Van Lathem

BETS ARE BACK BABY

Brandon Ray

But the real question is... Will a big boy "trip"?

Eduardo Ortiz

Aw yeah. I took screen shots of my own answers to check my own results!

Olf Himself

That would be sweet!

Max 'hisShame' Terman

I feel remorse for putting "no" for so many questions.

Max 'hisShame' Terman

Done!

I'm guessing these will be used like a phone a friend lifeline. "Ask the Patreons"

Varun Kachhwaha

I've been training my whole career for this moment.

Max 'hisShame' Terman

let's go <3

tahitianwarrior

Yes!
