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 wonder how many times I’ve seen Marian get punched in the stomach…

Even though I love DOAE and Three Kingdoms stuff to death, I'm kind of lukewarm on DOAE2. While it adheres closer to the novel, a lot of the weird charm in the original DOAE is lost and the game overall runs slower. I don't think the music is quite as catchy, either, and changes like officers locked to individual types of equipment make things feel more narrow.

It's been years since I played it, though. Maybe it's better than I remember.

You've nailed pretty much all the reasons I've hesitated to vote for it here. The first DoaE would be an easy instant vote, but the second one is more like... is that good enough to warrant a vote against Double Dragon, even if it is arcade Double Dragon?
