Bottom 1024 — Week 17 — Poll 21

Post by Kong Wen »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round Lower Bracket!

Each game in the lower bracket is still seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools! Every game in the lower bracket has already been defeated by another game in a 1-on-1 poll to get to this point. This is their chance to claw their way back into the main event... but the stakes are high. The games that lose in these polls are out of the tournament for good! The games that survive will face the next crop of upper bracket losers in the next round.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on Saturday... or Sunday or Monday. Check back throughout the week to make sure you don't miss a vote!

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, so don't get complacent!

Even when Mega Man started to get "stale" (others' words, not mine), he was still more fun than most everything! I love some MM4.
You got BOOST power!

Major kudos to Lost Kingdoms for being a FromSoftware paving stone that shows glimmers of what they would later do in the Souls series. But on its own merits as a game, I just don't think it holds up. Clay hinted with some derision about the staling of Mega Man, but I don't think that really started happening with MM4. Maybe MM5.
