Welcome to the #BGE2020 Elimination Round of 512!

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 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!

Cowabunga!

Fire Emblem is good. It's a good game. It's a decent Fire Emblem game. Kind of middle of the pack. Kind of reminds me of that series' equivalent of Final Fantasy 4, where it's the first real game in the series in the west, and its gets most of its good reputation from its charming story and characters rather than any kind of depth of gameplay. I'm talking myself into voting for it here.

On the other hand, TMHT is pretty much the prototypical arcade brawler. Great mechanics, great feel, great integration into the silly cartoon, fun. It doesn't go quite far enough in terms of making the turtles individuals in the way that X-Men arcade did later, but baby steps.

I may still change my vote here later.
