Best Game of 2020 https://challonge.com/uyjlysvi Ran: January 2021 Overall top seed: Final Fantasy VII Remake 1 seeds: FF7 Remake, Hades, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Doom Eternal Final Four: FF7 Remake, Hades, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Ori and the Will of the Wisps Ultimate Loser: Kingdom Hearts - Melody of Memory Championship: Hades defeated Final Fantasy VII Remake 35-34 2020 was a crazy year; 366 days of events that included the deaths of Kobe Bryant and Chadwick Boseman, protests, riots, murder hornets, complete political divide, complete societal divide, and a worldwide pandemic that cancelled numerous events. Nevertheless, gaming was still a thing and that's why the tournament was necessary. FF7 Remake finally got released five years after its initial trailer announcement in 2015 and the reaction was enough for it to net the overall top seed. Hades was well received by numerous users and critics and easily picked up the 2nd #1 seed. Animal Crossing had incredible sales due to its release right at the beginning of the pandemic and netted the third #1 seed. Finally, Doom Eternal barely held off Ori and the Will of the Wisps for the final top spot. Round 1 had its fair share of upsets to kick things off. The first one to occur was #12 seed Crusader Kings III easily stunning a Kingdom Hearts rhythm spinoff 12-6; Crusader Kings III nearly did it again a second time, but lost 6-5 to #4 seed Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Paradise Killer got in as an #11 seed and upset World of Horror 9-6. Finally, there was a certain 4-pack that got shook up immediately... #6 Bugsnax #11 Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 #3 Cyberpunk 2077 #14 Murder by Numbers Bloodstained escaped against Bugsnax 12-10 for the upset. Cyberpunk 2077 lived up to its disappointing hype as it loses in overtime 22-19 to Murder by Numbers. Bloodstained would win against Murder by Numbers to get an #11 seed into the Sweet 16, but came up short against #2 seed The Last of Us Part II. As for the #1 seeds, all of them did well. The one that didn't make the Final Four, Doom Eternal, lost 12-10 to Ori and the Will of the Wisps in the Elite Eight. In fact, Doom Eternal's entire division was an odd case. Spiritfarer, an #8 seed, only lost by 2 votes to Eternal. Crash Bandicoot 4 nearly knocked off Ori 2 in the Sweet 16. And of course Crusader Kings III as explained earlier nearly getting a date with Doom Eternal. Animal Crossing had an easy route to the semifinals, blowing out Visage and Temtem a combined 34-5, putting up 66% on Miles Morales, and winning 14-9 against Last of Us Part II. Hades had easy wins over Love Live and Dreams, just barely avoided overtime against Yakuza: Like a Dragon, and put up 60% on Tony Hawk 1+2 for the third final four spot. Finally, FF7 Remake had monster performances in its region; 22-4 over The Pedestrian, 21-6 over Spelunky 2, 20-7 over 13 Sentinels, and 23-12 over Paper Mario: Origami King. To top it all off, Cloud continued this rampage in the semifinals with a 29-13 win over Ori and the Will of the Wisps. It appeared Final Fantasy would finally get a championship on its resume. And then Hades appeared. Hades made easy work out of Animal Crossing 21-11 in the final four. In the first half of the championship, Hades stormed out to a massive lead, even leading by as much as 15 votes at one point. However, FF7 Remake refused to accept defeat so easily. As the final hours wound down, Cloud and crew carved into the large lead by Hades. Once the 24 hour mark hit, I counted the final results three times just to make sure I wasn't BSing myself. 35-34......... Hades. SuperGiant was no stranger to these tournaments. Bastion nearly capped off a Cinderella Run in 2011 as a #7 seed but came up short in the Elite Eight. Transistor got a #14 seed in 2014 and was quickly disposed of. The third time was the charm though; not only was Hades a GOTY winner across multiple sources, it took the crown for Board 8's Best Game of 2020. Ulti stated in the championship match topic that this was the best tournament I had ever done, and after the final match, I was inclined to agree. FF7 Remake and Hades were universally acclaimed by the vast majority of this board and many of those who voted stated they would have been happy with either game winning. It was an excellent sendoff to a crazy year that most of us would like to forget. As for Final Fantasy, well... maybe VI has a chance to win 1994, unless Super Metroid or Sonic 3 & Knuckles have anything to say about it >_> Rankings So Far 2020 2008 2016 2013 2011 2009 2000 2001 2010 1999 2019 2017 1997 2003 2002 2004 2007 1996 2015 1998 2014 2018 2012 2005 2006 --- Formerly known as Raven 2 https://twitch.tv/ZeroSignalX <cite>ZeroSignal620 posted [p:953223892] in All 25 Bes...
