#BGE2020 - Round 2 - Pool 253

[This Old Neon]

Welcome to the second round of #BGE2020 pools!

Each game is randomly seeded into pools using the sequence generator at Random.org. There's no seeding, no ranking, and no preference or prioritization.

The results of the pools will determine how each game stacks up in the elimination rounds, coming... realistically in early 2021.

HOW TO VOTE

Voting is ranked, but it's not super intuitive, so listen up.

• You have 6 total votes to distribute.
• You can only select up to 3 options.
• You can only give each option up to 3 votes.
• NOTE: The number you pick is not the RANK of your choice (i.e. 1st, 2nd, 3rd), but the number of VOTES you're giving it.
• The more votes (bigger numbers) a game gets, the better for that game.

EXAMPLES

• You could pick three games and order them by giving them 3, 2, and 1 votes.
• If you like three games equally, you could give them 2, 2, and 2 votes.
• If you only like two games, you could give them 3 and 3 votes (or 3 and 2, etc.).

This gives you a lot of granularity for how you assign your votes and thereby a lot of influence over which games can do well. Use your power wisely!

If you have questions, ask before voting!

[Kong Wen]

Two big heavy hitters at the top of this bracket: full votes for the iconic Ico, and second place votes for the pinnacle of the 3D Mario series, Galaxy.

[Sharecrow]

I split my votes evenly between Ico, Kangaroo, and Tales of Hearts R. All good games albeit very different from one another.

[The Shoemaker]

I give Mario Galaxy max votes, though my opinion of it has gone down slightly since replaying it this year. It's just not as fluid and snappy as the other 3D Mario games.

[SkyPikachu]

Rng gods love you lump all the games I enjoy in one bracket then gave multiple brackets of games I don't care about. Pokemon and galaxy are too good not to give 3s though
