Bottom 768 — Week 10 — Poll 5

[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!

Let's be honest: just about anything is better than Mario Party. But TGPCBBSUJ:GC1HBS is funny and self-aware game that, despite being nowhere near the best game ever, at least deserves a victory here. Here is the first paragraph of the game's description on the developer's website:

The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041, a day so painful to some that it is referred to only as the “B-Ballnacht”. Thousands upon thousands of the world’s greatest ballers were massacred in a swath of violence and sports bigotry as the game was outlawed worldwide. The reason: the Chaos Dunk, a jam so powerful its mere existence threatens the balance of chaos and order. Among the few ballers and fans that survived the basketball genocide was Charles Barkley, the man capable of performing the “Verboten Jam”

Nevermind that Barkley will be in a nursing home by 2041, a few noun swaps here and there and this could be the setup for a million generic JRPG plotlines.

Some people think Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden is a joke, but in reality it is a good, funny game.

We need Pluvius.

This is one of those "good lord" matchups lmao. MP4 should get absolutely clobbered.

Played neither of these games, though I did play the N64 Mario Party games, which at least one of those is probably more deserving than Mario Party 4.
