Tournament arcs in vidya

What are some video games that feature good tournament arcs? I'm not talking about a games where the entire game is a tournament like most fighting games, but rather where there's a tournament which takes up part of the game.

FFXIV has one right now, it'll end in about 6 months

Paper Mario: the Thousand-Year Door

I remember Colosso in Golden Sun where you go through tiers of puzzles to get items then fighting opponents of increasing difficulty.

.hack//GU

mountain blade

Paper Mario TTYD
Either mainline KH game, but KH1's is cooler imo

Fable 1.

I second .hack//G.U.

Think they just rebooted it recently, too

Thé Witcher 3, Blood and Wine expansion

When has tournament arcs besides DB and YuYu actually been a good thing

I can only think of Xenogears

Well it has to be done right
Recently started watching Saki.
>Ok, a bunch of lesbians playing mahjong
>dumb emotional shit
>tournament finally starts
>matches are "hehe easy"
>dumb drama again

I expected smart plays and reads not dumb lesbians being dumb lesbians pulling bullshit out of their ass
I also played Saki: Zenkoku-hen for Vita and it only took me a one game to unlock all of Hisa's art. There are only 9 of them for each character I assume.
Also pretty easy to win when saki that dumb idiot keeps adding new doras to the game

This gen:
The Witcher blood and wine
Ac: origins

tournament arcs fucking ruined yu yu

Battle Network 3's N1 Grand Prix was ok. Its sequel is three tournament arcs back-to-back and it's insanely terrible though

HxH

Oblivion
Yakuza

How about a game FULL of tournament arcs?

i prefer the one where the man selling raw chicken out of a dumpster accepts you as an honorary ghetto nigger

You mean the guy who had Cloudman.exe? That fucker was cheap as shit.

Come to think of it, BN2 was really shitty in general with bosses that were impossible to beat quickly and cleanly enough to get their higher level chips
>Cloudman.exe
>Toadman.exe
>Snakeman.exe

no i mean this guy

Custom robo is fantastic and has this!

That's what you get for willing subjecting yourself to grotesque yurishit

Dark tournament was good, the last arc was just trash all around

Tales of Phantasia had one

Haikyuu. Easily one of the best and underrated anime ever made. It doesn't has enough ecchi and waifu shit, so nobody cares.

looks like the pink girl has gigantic tits from a glance

Colosso was a fun part of Golden Sun

The Chunin exam is the primary reason Naruto became so popular.

Custom robo deserved better. It was really fun.

Kengan Asura is still in the Tournament Arc after 150 chapters and it's still solid
