KiwiFarms' Best Game Ever Bracket

[Smaug's Smokey Hole 2]

Gonna need some time, but I also plan on making thumbnails for all the games featured. The bracket will be posted before the end of the month.

Add Immoral Kumbat to it as well as Wave Race 64. I'm not clicking links, fed.

if strawpoll would be an ip-grabber, imagine the people on 4chan who voted for taylor swifts and justin biebers concert if their sites would be honeypots as well lol.

Rig it in Pokemon Stadium's favor.

I just finished setting up the bracket for the entrees. Going forward, do you feel using Strawpoll is the best option for voting, or should it be something else? Keep in mind, Slobberdog took away my ability to edit stuff, so using KF's built-in thread feature would probably require creating new OPs for each match.

Here is your bracket for Best Game Ever, with entrees taken primarily from the Strawpoll list, with the extra spots filled in with games that ranked high in GameFAQ's previous bracket in order to reach 128 entrees:

For some reason the formatting got messed up, but you get the idea.

Morrowind has to go up against Mario 64 in the first round? Cruel.

Going forward, do you feel using Strawpoll is the best option for voting, or should it be something else?

Strawpoll seems like it works fine.

 

[ThinkThankThunk]

That's going to be a brutal first round culling. Honestly kind of shocked nobody put in Bloodborne, I figured I would let someone else get that stab in. At least my boy Peggle is in. Vote Peggle or die.

There's actually a lot of games I was surprised didn't make the cut: Halo 2 and 3, but not Halo 1 or Halo Reach. GTA San Andreas, Vice City, and IV, but III or V. Mario 64, and somehow Hotel Mario, were the lone Mario reps before Mario RPG was added. Nothing for Street Fighter or Devil May Cry. Tekken 3, but not 5 or 7. No Sonic games aside from 3 & Knuckles and Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (Sonic 2? Adventure? Generations? Colors?). Morrowind, but not Oblivion or Skyrim. Doom I and II, but not Doom 2016 or Doom Eternal. No FromSoft aside from DS I and II (Bloodborne? Elden Ring? Armored Core?). The only Zelda game was OoT. Metal Gear was also a no-show before I added it. Same with Smash Bros., too.

I hope whoever bots the poll makes some funny choices

wouldnt it be better to make a strawpoll for every 2 contenders? are you gonna do KO eliminations or a round robin?

KO eliminations, since that's how GameFaqs did their bracket.

 

[WarrenZHarding]

No Sengoku Rance? Bracket is fake and gay.

All banners/thumbnails are completed, and the first poll will open on August 1st at 12 AM EST.

Balatro better lose, but I don't have faith in you people.

 

[YoRHa No. 2 Type B]

Balatro better lose, but I don't have faith in you people.

Shame, Balatro is fun. Did you get filtered by it?
Balatro will probably win this round, but I doubt it will go all the way considering the other games it has to go against. I bet money it would lose to GTA Vice City or HL2.
