i remember thinking SoulCalibur IV was a dip in quality but still having fun with it then being completely devastated by the absolute state of V when I first played it

I even got it a week early because the mom and pop shop by me didnt give a fuck about embargos. I was so fucking hyped and the game ended up being a fucking turd

YESTERDAY: WTF SPACE INVADERS LOST?! Really was not expecting that as DK barely kept up with it in the original topic and only tied it at the last second. Wild. As someone said in the last topic, Space Invaders could straight up be on the Video Games Rushmore. Guess we'll see when that happens at the end of the month!

Fighting games had SO MUCH DISCOURSE, legit me scrolling for like a solid minute looking for stray votes hidden amongst the arguments. For such a "competitive" Rushmore, there really was not actually any competition at all. Nothing came close to the top 4 for the entire topic which actually made this very boring to tally despite the much loved discourse.

Doing this one instead of Mexican foods because I feel like it will be more competitive. Also people seemed more interested in this one, when I asked for Cinco De Mayo suggestions nobody seemed too jazzed about it being a themed day

Wait so Knuckles is only onscreen for like 10% of the show or something?

the last two episodes the humans have plot resolution for their side stories and knuckles is either in bed at a hotel or at a hotel bar eating challah bread. There is a big fight at the very very end and knuckles participates

episode 4 has basically no knuckles at all but is still a good episode because they talk about knuckles a lot in a very funny way and it works. Idk you have to see it to understand

episode 3 kicks ass imo it has the most knuckles outside of 1. Knuckles is just sitting around for most of the episode but the writing is very funny and the fight at the end is well choreographed

episode 2 is bad and I cannot remember it

episode 1 has a lot of knuckles to fool you and is actually directed by Jeff Fowler so its good quality but it again it is just a big trick

I think the big downfall is not just the lack of knuckles, but all of the human characters are ATROCIOUS actors. Sometimes their dialogue hits but its harder to excuse how many jokes dont land when you arent getting quality knuckles time to make up for it

in the end its a show for babies but not all baby shows need to suck automatically

im not worried about sonic 3 because i think Jeff Fowler knows what hes doing

The secret is having the endurance to survive the Knuckles show on paramount plus

which is not the worst show ever but it is not a show about knuckles because they didnt have the budget

im currently reading a book about how paramount collapsed and I feel it was published too early because it should realistically end with and then the Knuckles show that was not about knuckles came out

Please try to work it out amongst yourselves what Street Fighter 2 or 3 version you guys want to support. I'm not going to combine votes because whenever I do that someone gets mad, so try to figure this out. You have two whole days!

Other than that, hopefully you, the users of Game eff ayy cues dot come are aware of what a fighting game is.

Arcade-specific-rules: This is actually a pretty big one now, because I asked the Discussion topic how we wanted to do "Classic" Arcade games and the consensus was along the lines of "you can't define classic"

So to avoid "THAT'S NOT A CLASSIC!!!" discourse itt, I have removed the word "classic" from the title! This is now a fully fledged ARCADE GAMES MOUNT RUSHMORE.

Games must have either been an arcade original or had a widely distributed official port. Must be a real game that existed and was playable by the general public in arcades!

WE ARE ONLY DOING VIDEO GAMES. NO SKEE BALL, PINBALL OR CRANE GAMES. If you want to do a Rushmore for "amusement" games or whatever, you can nominate that. This Rushmore is already going to be competitive enough as-is.

I think "classic arcade games" was me trying to include the arcade in the Console week, then the thread got away from me

I'll probably just make it "arcade games" to try to curb half the topic being "THAT'S NOT CLASSIC" discourse

Question about the schedule: is Looney Tunes about characters or cartoons? I think the latter is way more interesting to discuss, but I don't know how the nomination was intended.

I think it was characters but I can split it into both

The Rip Ride Rockit coaster in Universal Studios lets the user select music to listen to on the ride. There used to be a big variety of music but because the coaster is an old piece of shit now they limited the selection to 5 songs, one per genre

for "Classic Rock" the only song is Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance

hearing that song being classified as "Classic Rock" instantly turned me into Old Snake

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Bad contest-specific-rules: Must have been an official GameFAQs contest hosted on GameFAQs.com with voting on the front page. Must be bad... but I'll let you decide what the definition of "bad" is.

YESTERDAY: Only 9 of the 33 released MCU movies got a vote (plus one for Deadpool 3, which I specifically said in the rules did not count). There was literally ZERO discourse. There were less votes than in the HOT SANDWICHES Rushmore. The dog tiebreaker poll got more votes overall. Ulti even posted "Shiba Inu" with no additional context in the topic for some reason.

Let's hope that Deadpool 3 is the shot in the arm that the MCU needs because I am pretty sure a few years ago that topic would have at least gotten to PAGE 2

-----------------

MCU-specific-rules: Must be an OFFICIAL part of the MCU, not any of Amy Pascal's weird Spider-Man-adjacent bullshit like Venom or Madame Web.

MOVIES ONLY, TV SHOWS CAN BE A DIFFERENT RUSHMORE! (if enough of you nominate it). Additionally, none of the short films are eligible, although I doubt anyone would be voting for them if they were.

Also, movie has to have actually been released, so no votes for Deadpool 3

Golden actually was behind Lab for the first chunk of the topic before zooming ahead to a comfortable first.
