there are now free AI programs that make songs based on prompts

here is the song for the SNES Mount Rushmore:

I would make a distinction between Persona 4 and Golden because I think those games are different enough to warrant mentioning which version you mean, but maybe that's just me.

Depends on the context, but if someone asked me what my favorite Persona game was, I'd just say Persona 5 even though I prefer Royal. Generally I just use SF2 as a blanket term for all versions and only specify when necessary, which I don't think it is here.

Leonhart4 posted...

SF2 and Turbo have their own distinct claims to SNES Rushmore

This is a valid reason to distinguish them though if that's your argument.

Leonhart4 posted...

They aren't the same game

Again I'm not arguing with this. It just seems a bit pedantic to keep them separated. Like I assume we're going to have a Game Boy one eventually and Pokemon Yellow will be lumped in with Red and Blue

Leonhart4 posted...

All you people thinking all SF2 games are the same are exactly why it lost to Super Mario RPG (coming up on the 20th anniversary of "SF2 lost?!" in a couple days! Stay tuned to the Stats Topic!).

it's not about them being the same, it's just that some people probably aren't specifying. Also they all have "Street Fighter II" in the title, so "Street Fighter II" could be an abbreviation for any of them!

I would combine them

Kevin Butler calls you up and says "Your mom has one month to get to the end credits of one of these games for $1mil." Which game do you choose? (You can understand Japanese)

I picked SotN cause that's grandma tier of difficulty, but then I remembered you could choose Gon in Tekken 3, hold towards opponent, smash O, and defeat the entire game, and takes much less time as well.

I picked Spyro but now I'm wondering why you would need to understand Japanese to talk to Kevin Butler

Looks like I'm going to end up top 3 just because I picked UConn to win aw yeah

I think Mario World is a good candidate because I feel like it's instantly associated with the SNES. If you ask someone to name a SNES game, World is going to be the first a lot of people think of. Like it didn't do anything revolutionary (other than introduce Yoshi, I guess), but I think it's almost ubiquitous with the console, kind of in the way Mario 64 is with the N64.

Yeah I don't think being revolutionary is necessarily a requirement. It's the best selling SNES game and one of the most popular picks for best game in the series. It's also a launch title and was bundled with the system, so for a lot of people it was probably the first game they played on the console.

Super Mario World
Donkey Kong Country
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Street Fighter II Turbo

Feels weird not to have a JRPG on here, but I feel like all of these are more deserving. DQV would be on here if it released in the west though.

I thought Homestuck and xkcd would be the biggest locks

Sure, if we're all doing it! I don't like it nearly as much as the sequel though lol

Cody11533 posted...

I hardly knew me, RIP.

Oh yeah, I glossed over what happened there. Basically I was switching Gyarados in and out to stack intimidates and figured Cody could take a hit and also get some EXP to make sure I didn't get overleveled. Of course, it was a crit and a OHKO.

and by 8 I mean 9!

I get why it isnt, but I feel like these console Rushmores would be way more interesting if it was personal

the casualty count is depressing for your 4th gym

it's technically 8 gyms!

ItzKnightz posted...

could you name your next pokemon caught after me?

sure!

I took down Maylene without much trouble, although we did lose Cody in the process :/ with 4 badges, the level cap is now 50 and shouldn't really be a factor for the rest of the run.

I also took down Chuck in Heart Gold. Dedede the Alakazam rolled through the entire gym, all the way to getting his Poliwrath to pixel life before getting OHKO'd by a critical Body Slam. Chuck got literally one attack off and it was a crit. I hate everything. How is my luck so bad.

On the way to Cianwood I caught a Tentacruel, which should be helpful cause it's pretty bulky. I named it 5nake because Snake5555555 had the top topic on the board when I caught it. I also got the Shuckle, which is apparently named Nessie.

A very poor performance for a Starter.

* @ItzKnightz gave a +3 to Inteleon, which I assume was meant to be Greninja. I counted it for Greninja for now, but they can confirm or deny this.

this topic is tempting me to buy an air fryer

I always associate Tomb Raider with PC but I guess that's probably just because we had it on PC. Actually it might have only been a demo that we got with something else. Then again we also had FF7 on PC and I associate that with the PS1 so who knows

Pokemon Gold and Silver

The 2nd time? More like Old Mexico m i rite

Sonic Adventure 2

heck I wish it was this though

Gen VIII - Sobble is great but I don't like Inteleon. Cramorant is funny but the fossils really drag it down and I don't really like any of the other Pokemon.

Gen VII - Awful starter and a bunch of blah. Golisopod is the only Pokemon here I like at all.

Gen IV - Piplup is great but Empoleon is kinda disappointing. Floatzel and Gastrodon lines are solid enough to put it above the bottom two.

Gen VI - I'm a big fan of Froakie and all its evolutions, but I don't care for the megas, Clawitzer is only okay, and everything else is no good.

Gen V - Samurott line, Jellicent, and Swanna are great, the fossil turtles are good, and everything else ranges from bad (monkeys) to neutral (toads).

Gen II - Very strong lineup with Totodile (my favorite first form starter), Lanturn, Politoed, and Slowking. I wouldn't call any of these bad, either.

Gen IX - Could be higher with a better starter; actually, I like Quaxly a lot but Quaquaval is terrible. Palafin, Veluza, Dondozo, Wiglett line, and Iron Bundle are all fantastic.

Gen I - There's a lot of good here: Squirtle, Poliwhirl, Slowbro, Seadra, Starmie, Cloyster, Lapras, Vaporeon, Gyarados, and Kabutops are all good to great. There's also a lot of bloat, though. Dewgong, Seaking, Kingler, and Tentacruel I could live without. Still, the sheer volume of good Pokemon make it hard to leave Gen 1 out of the top two

Gen III - Spheal and Sharpedo are my top two water types, so I was always leaning Gen III, but Ludicolo, Corphish, Wailmer, and Whiscash are all amazing as well. I wouldn't be surprised if over half of my top 10 Water types came from this generation. I also like Pelipper a lot, even if it can be really annoying to fight, and Kyogre is one of the better legendaries. The starter isn't great (Mudkip is good though) and the Clamperl evolutions suck but not enough to drop this from the top spot imo

Final Fantasy VII
Metal Gear Solid
Resident Evil

SotN is more here for its lasting legacy than its popularity at the time, and also because I like it

Yeah I prefer Majora's Mask too but I can't justify including it or leaving off OoT. Aside from being more popular and iconic, MM reused a lot of assets and such directly from OoT
