Non-Noble-Nine-specific rules: Votes should be for characters that made the field for at least one Character Battle. Link, Cloud, Sephiroth, Mario, Samus, Solid Snake, Mega Man, Sonic and Crono do not count. Rivalry Rumble pairings do not count. What other qualifiers are there for this Rushmore? I didn't really think about it until now. Is it most appearances? Contest strength? Craziest upsets? Most consistent? Memeability? You, the viewers, will decide. Reference links: https://board8.antifandom.com/wiki/Noble_Nine https://tiermaker.com/create/every-gamefaqs-character-battle-entrant-ever-320611 PREVIOUS RESULTS: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uCR-viOTP-yKhRZnTyvaoXj7teKRA12gz7m-1rfmhoY/ (Sheet 1) Gen 2 Pokemon: Lugia, Togepi, Suicune, Ho-Oh Final Fantasy Songs: One-Winged Angel, Prelude, To Zanarkand, Victory Theme Mount Rushmore 2: FDR, Obama, Eisenhower, JFK Board 8 memes: Paramore twitter boobs, there goes bracket, Bidoof comics, GFNW Cartoon Network: Powerpuff Girls, Adventure Time, Dexter's Lab, Ed Edd N' Eddy VG soundtracks: Undertale, FFVII, Super Mario Bros., Mega Man 2 YouTube Sponsors: Raid Shadow Legends, NordVPN, SquareSpace, HelloFresh Pizza Toppings: Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Sausage, Pineapple Smash Bros. Items: Pokeball, Hammer, Home Run Bat, Assist Trophy YESTERDAY: A close yet boring race for 4th between Assist Trophy and Smash Ball. A lot of people didn't even seem to count these as items or dismissed them for not being around since 64. However, Pokeball was a runaway first, so I think functionality was less important as legacy. By one vote, it has been declared that extra cheese is a pizza topping. This was close the whole day but "no" was leading most of the time; "yes" barely won in an actual nail-biter and the highlight of yesterday's topic. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/76ea72f7.png https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/8928a88d.png https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/483b5189.jpg ChatGPT's Rushmore: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/9/9749800f.jpg AI Rushmore by Bing AI: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/84cb5f7d.jpg UPCOMING RUSHMORES (nominations welcome): 2/27: Bad Fanbases 2/28: ZEN IS ON VACATION 2/29: ZEN IS ON VACATION 3/01: ZEN IS ON VACATION 3/02: ZEN IS ON VACATION 3/03: ZEN IS ON VACATION 3/04: ZEN IS ON VACATION 3/05: ZEN IS ON VACATION 3/06: Bad Video Games 3/07: Cereal Mascots (National Cereal Day) 3/08: First Ladies of the United States (Int'l Womens' Day) 3/09: Sonic the Hedgehog Songs 3/10: Super Mario 64 levels (Mario Day) 3/11: Video Game Considered "Art" 3/12: Video Game Urban Legends 3/13: Rappers 3/14: Disney Songs 3/15: Cryptids 3/16: Movie Villains 3/17: Green Characters (St. Patrick's Day Special) Nominations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1uCR-viOTP-yKhRZnTyvaoXj7teKRA12gz7m-1rfmhoY/ (Sheet 2) (PLEASE SECOND SOME NOMS) --- (|| ' ' ||) When have you ever seen three big, very smooth arcs . /|_|\ of hair sticking out of a person's forehead?

Pikachu - Look, I know we're sick of seeing Pokemon on these things but I think Pikachu has one of the most fascinating Contest Histories of any character. First two years he looks like a complete doofus. Then mid-00s Pokemon hate kicks into full gear and he disappears completely for three years. He returns in 2007 and I take a look at the bracket and think, "You know what? Pokemon hate is pretty much done, and he's in a pretty good position here... I'm gonna send him to the Sweet Sixteen!" And dammit I called it. He goes on a repeat tour the very next year, taking down defending champ L-Block in the process in a match that I once again called, and has since become a serious threat in these things and on any given Sunday is even a legitimate upset pick against some of the weaker Noble Niners like Sonic and Mega Man. That's a turnaround worth celebrating.
Bowser - Though 3- and 4-way matches seem to be a bit of an Achilles' heel for him, in 1v1s you'd be hard-pressed to find a more consistent high-midcarder than Bowser. With the exception of the afformentioned multi-way contests, he's looked impressive in almost every match he's been in, even in losses. He's got a very strong W-L record that includes victories over other strong midcarders like Sora, Kirby and Ryu, and he's even given N9ers Snake and Crono a bit of a scare at times. Auron - Like Bowser, Auron is a high-midcarder with an impressive W-L record who you can consistently count on to win at least 1 or 2 matches per year and is a solid pick to go on a deep run in a balanced bracket. He may not even be the strongest non-Cloud/Sephy FF character (if it wasn't Tifa before, it probably is now), he has, for so long, been an extremely strong character whose perennial presence in the contest has never really seen any fatigue the way other characters of similar strength often find. He's certainly beatable, but if you're a Ganondorf/Kirby/Ryu/Luigi/Squall/etc-tier character looking for a chance to take on a N9er, having Auron in your division should make you at least a little nervous. Mega Man X - I'm pretty sure the only reason MMX isn't amongst the Noble 9 (thus making them the Terrific Ten) is because he was excluded from the first few contests due to CJayC mistakenly believing him and Mega Man to be the same character (a fair mistake for someone who isn't familiar with the series). Since he debuted he has consistently been one of the most powerful near-elites/high midcarders capable of taking down the vast majority of the field with ease and going toe-to-toe with Noble Niners and other near-elites. He's put up extremely impressive numbers against Mario, Crono, and even Link, and tried his best to stave off the juggernaut that was Draven. --- a darkx alt ... Copied to Clipboard!

Vincent Frog Gordon Freeman L-Block and Vincent should be evident. GFNW is apparently one of B8's top 4 memes of all time, so I'll say the character who originated that meme should receive some accolades. I gave Frog some love here too because he's consistently given us some of the best matches in contest history, which I find more iconic than some other characters whose claim to fame is merely "strong but not as strong as the Noble 9". I see the argument for Pikachu as a rags to riches story, but idk. That's just symptomatic of the site's attitude towards Pokemon as a whole. --- Surskit ... Copied to Clipboard!

Magus Vincent Pikachu short explanations: L-Block - the joke everyone was in on, and has somehow not yet entirely went away Magus - honestly he's mostly here because Magus vs. Knuckles is one of the most hilarious matches ever in the context of the board. Probably the posterchild for "Why did I ever listen to Board 8 when making my bracket?" and how stats can not always be relied upon. Vincent - the guy who broke the noble nine, and a long time contender for the #10 guy Pikachu - actual fodder that came back to consistently draw the most absurd lucky draws ever, sometimes to acclaim, usually to much hatred lots of HMs: Zelda, Kirby, Squall, Auron, Bowser, Ganondorf, Donkey Kong, Tidus, Missingno., Frog, Kefka, Gordon Freeman --- Born to lose, live to win! ...
