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.

YESTERDAY: Shut this one down early because there wasn't a ton of competition. Whitney had a shot for a while, but then people started saying Pokemon? REALLY? and I guess that caused some emotional damage because basically no one voted for Whitney after that and she fell out of the running

I think if some coordinating had been done, one of the FFVII Weapons could have made it on here instead of Sephiroth. We had some non-Seph KH voters switch their other KH boss votes to Sephiroth so that might have put him out of range eventually, but it would have been more of a fight at least.

Whitney isnt even the hardest in her game, Id rank Morty above her.

Topic closed as I was typing an answer, but if notability werent a necessary factor IMO, the correct answers would be The General from Kaiser Knuckle, Inbachi from Dodonpachi SaiDaiOuJou, Mewtwo from Pokmon Puzzle League, and Absolute Virtue from FFXI

Jackson is there mostly because he's a good pick for a modern director

I'd put James Cameron on here but he doesn't seem to have any pre-Hollywood credits

Notoriety definitely plays a factor. I've said before in the Whitney vs. Morty debate that the average first-time player is probably better prepared for Whitney than for Morty at their respective points in the game, but Whitney's Miltank is just so infamous that she's become the posterchild for difficult fights in GSC.

Yes, Nolan is an American dual national by birth from one of his parents. This is also why his brother has an American accent and he doesnt, because they grew up on different sides of the Atlantic with different parents.

Anyway:

Georges Melies
Akira Kurosawa
Ingmar Bergman
James Cameron

I feel like Melies should get the George Washington slot here.

I think Morty might be one of the single easiest gym leaders in any Pokmon game tbh.

For the poll I think Sans would honestly be a bigger hurdle for me than Tyson, I'm ridiculously bad at Undertale's battle system. Probably underestimating Tyson though.

I'm actually going to exclude Hitchcock here, even if he qualifies, as his American films dwarf his British ones in terms of impact/prestige.

Huh first vote for "a few hours"

I think about it I probably should have voted half a day or a day just cause I don't know Sans's pattern at all. But I know how the game works and have played a lot of bullet hells

Being able to reliably beat Tyson and Seph with no issues has to help though

Remove James Cameron
Add Alfred Hitchcock

So James Camerons Canadian filmography consists of a single short film (funded by a dentist lol). That seems like it doesnt fit the spirit of the criteria even though it might technically qualify him. By contrast Alfred Hitchcock was making movies in the UK for nearly two decades before he went to Hollywood, he was already a very successful director. So he absolutely fits.
