TOP 128 — Week 4 — Poll 5

Post by This Old Neon »

Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round of 128!

Each game is seeded based on its performance in the two opening rounds of pools. Every game in the Upper Bracket has defeated multiple other games in 1-on-1 polls to get to this point. These are still the best of the best.

Polls are updated weekly, typically on 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!

Another easy pick for me. I think Wii Sports is the only game my whole family has ever played I think the fact that the game appealed to such a wide audience really shows how amazing the game was for it's time. I also hate the fighting genre especially street fighter.

With the superior Super Street Fighter II Turbo elimination, the original SF2 is the last remaining entry in the best Street Fighter series, the best and most influential series of an entire genre, in the Top 128. Against a controller-waggling tech demo. Wii Sports is deserving of a solid Top 128 spot, but I can't vote for it to advance here unless it were against an actual crap game like Nintendo Land.

For me this came down to what I’d rather play with friends and family. An admittedly pivotal entry in a genre I don’t care for just doesn’t resonate with me…but who can resist a quick tennis or baseball match?

If Wii Sports were against a more appealing (to me) game, like Pitfall, it wouldn’t have gotten my vote.
I never thought I would feel this way, but now I know. Now I know. I never thought I would see things as I see them now, but now I know. I never thought I would hurt so bad, but now I know. Now I know.

Both games are important to gaming as a whole. Street Fighter II practically launched an entire genre, in fighting games. Wii Sports is important for other reasons, but it's harder to imagine gaming in the 2020s without the existance of Street Fighter II than without the existance of Wii Sports.
