Top 2048 — Week 4 — Poll 20

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round!

The previous micro-round was solely to put the lowest-ranked games against each other and weed out enough games to come up with a nice even 2048 for bracketing purposes. And here we are.

This is the top 2048!

Each game is seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools. Half of these games will advance to the Top 1024, and the other half will be demoted to the losers' bracket, where they'll fight for survival and a chance at redemption.

HOW TO VOTE

This is easy. You only get one vote per poll. The game with the most votes wins. In the event of a tie, the higher seed advances. Check back every week, because with the stakes this high, you're not going to want to miss a vote!

Going with Panzer Dragoon Saga in this one, mainly because it's up against one of the weakest Mario Kart games. Weird early portable MK doesn't need to advance against a white whale Saturn RPG.

Disagree, MK DS isn't the weakest MK .. SNES, N64, GBA and other earlier versions were weaker. I would even choose playing MK DS over MK 7 or 8.

I also consider Mario Kart DS to be one of, if not the best, Mario Kart games. The single player mission mode is something I would really like to see return in future games.

I have not yet played Panzer Dragoon Saga. I recently got a Satiator for my Saturn and Panzer Dragoon Saga is definitely one of the games I want to get to sooner rather than later.

Does not compute.

The main only fun thing about Mario Kart is local multiplayer.



In my IMO.

Voting for PDS on my principle of not voting for Mario Kart anymore. Also because it probably rips and I need to play it sometime.
You got BOOST power!

We have our first "upset" of the elimination round, with the 116th seed being knocked into the lower bracket by the 1933rd seed. This is probably going to start happening more often as the match-ups get closer and closer.
