BOTTOM 192 — Week 1 — Poll 1

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 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!

This is actually a really interesting poll for me, because I feel like Super Metroid and MoHu Wo occupy similar positions. They're both nearly perfect games that sit at the apex of their respective storied series. This didn't just come to me now, but I have thought of MoHu Wo as the Super Metroid of MoHus for a while. Maybe that's kind of weird.

Anyway, I'm voting for MoHu because I spent hundreds of hours in it partying with my friends, takin' down Mos, learning new tactics and new weapon movesets, crafting shit, setting traps, and looking rad.

I played and really liked Monster Hunter Tri, and even MH4 on 3DS although I never played online. I've heard really good things about World, and have fond memories of all the wild hunts (and working really hard to capture, when possible). My only real complaint is the series is a bit of a timesink (and I'm not in a great position to coordinate multiplayer). But the slow pace is part of what makes hunts satisfying. I miss that camaraderie and hope to jump in a future entry when the kids are a bit older.

Great series, although I won't vote in this poll.

Let me know when that happens! I'll be happy to jump back into a future entry for some Huing when the time comes. :)
