Kong I love you!

Go home BOTW you're drunk.

Also picked street fighter as its not my genre of choice also as a way to protect my favorite games. Please see this as a way to protect my games over hate for street fighter. (for botw though I want that shit outta here)

[SkyPikachu]

Be funny if team forest 2 gets the boot as well as metroid prime. (I don't see the latter happening)

[Kong Wen]

Pretty sure I'm going to vote for:

1: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - great game, but it's a fresh-faced n00b that doesn't belong in the company of these titans for the title of BGE!!! quite yet.

2: Portal 2 - great game, but it's slightly worse than the first/original, and they don't both belong in the final stretch.

I almost voted Portal 2 as well but I'd rather they both make it incase Portal gets put up against a juggernaut in top 16.

Spoiler

Edit: Did you vote I'm only seeing 1 vote for BOTW. Terrified I messed up my vote :/

Tetris, because it bores me, and Super Metroid, ONLY because that wall jump is so hard for me to nail consistently.

Now I regret voting for it in earlier rounds. I hated that jump

[Kong Wen]

Super Metroid's wall-jump is good.

[Sharecrow]

Super Metroid's wall-jump is good.

Didn’t say it wasn’t . Only that I have trouble doing it consistently which makes me enjoy the game less.

I didn't say you didn't, only that it is good.

I love the way wall jump and ball/bomb jump are used in that game. Not overused as gimmicky mechanics, but just an extra tool in the toolbox, and they require some training. Helps make the world feel like a live training area, too.
