Bottom 1024 — Week 20 — Poll 6

Post by This Old Neon »

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!

Original Double Dragon is so ass. One of the few old games I've tried that I can hardly comprehend how anyone liked. Really just feels awful to play.

I'm not a big Fantasy Zone guy, but I like it more than DD.
You got BOOST power!

You wouldn’t say that in front of Adobo.

In all seriousness, it was among the first beat ‘em up games. It helped create a new genre. And it was fun and even co-op, with a little twist at the end. I get that they’ve come a long way since then, but roots are still roots. Streets of Rage may not have been thought of without some of these early predecessors…. (Double Dragon, Renegade, Golden Axe, Vigilante, etc)
No more nightmares, I’ve seen them all. From the day I was born, they’ve haunted my every move.
