I did not participate in the original voting to put games into this tournament. However, you are all criminals and I am now left with no choice but to bring justice to this lawless land

Look I love SFII:T. It was probably the first 2D fighter that I played, and it still kinda owns, but I just donā€™t have a taste for fighting games anymore. Minecraft has a fuckton of flaws, but it succeeds in being something meditative for me.

Minecraft.

When I played the fucked up Metal Slug 6 on the arcade cabinet, I couldnā€™t really remember what bosses were in 6? But it was quickly apparent something was wrong with the weird one-hit shit, and eventually I did realize it was in fact Metal Slug 3. But the experience of being absolutely baffled by this strange game was extremely interesting. I have no feelings about Crazy Taxi.

Fucked up Metal Slug 6/3

Puyos are cute, and itā€™s what kirby says. Puyo!

Puyo.

I have no particular love for Contra, but I have an immense love for SF3. Third Strike has some of the coolest fucken character designs in SF, and the strange overuse of color in their sprites is something Iā€™ve been obsessed with since I started thinking about and doing pixelart. Also I know I said I donā€™t have much taste for fighting games anymore and I DONā€™T but who are you my fucking dad?

Street Fighter III: Third Strike

Honestly I donā€™t have a lot of interaction with either of these games because Iā€™m a heathen, but Super Metroid is more compelling to me, so.

Super Metroid

Honestly the first one where I have to think about it. I never really liked the feeling of Sonic games, and I like NiGHTS aesthetically more, in general. However, I also hate clowns, and NiGHTS as a character is dangerously clown-adjacent. But ALSO theyā€™re a fellow NB so yknow thatā€™s cool.

NiGHTS: Into Dreams

While all of you fucking nerds were playing video games, you know what game I was playing? Real life sweaty, look it up. Oh you played a game about a man with a prosthetic body? Sorry poindexter, Iā€™m cultured so I already read Frankenstein. The doctor is the REAL monster, by the way. Check out this sick low-res photo I took of my dog.

Game Boy Camera

MMORPGS are cancelled. Also the first time my grilfriend touched this game she played it for like 9 hours straight. Give her back to me you digital devil (saga)

Ikaruga

The first round is mostly matchups I donā€™t need to think about,
but I love both these games

I might change my mind, but Iā€™m leaning Third Strike

the thing that might reasonably stop me picking 3s these days is how few fucks it gives about accommodating my latest input hardware schemes
