Bottom 768 — Week 7 — Poll 2

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!

I like Legend of the Mystical Ninja, but it's a pretty punishing game. It's very hard to recover from continuing after around the midway point. Things get much too expensive, and even with the most exploitable minigames money comes in too slowly. While I got pretty good at the minigames, I don't know that I'll ever beat the game again and I'm okay with that.
