Board 8 > What four weapons are on the Video Game Weapons Mt. Rushmore?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just pick the first 4 you say when I do the tally. If you list the same character multiple times I'm going to count it as 1 vote. Be nice to others and their potentially bad opinions. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Don't take this topic series too seriously. If you're going to change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Weapon-specific rules: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/e38f920e.png

If your nominations look like: "Master Sword, Hookshot, Buster Sword, Sephiroth's Sword," I will keep Master Sword and Buster Sword and throw out the other two

The focus here should be tangible, physical weapons, not spells of any kind, which can be a different Rushmore. The weapon should actually be used to do damage in some way, so Pokeballs don't count as they do not actually do any damage. The primary usage of the weapon should be to deal damage, so no Hylian Shield or anything like that

Similarly, let's not get into the "are Pokemon weapons" territory here because I don't want Charizard on a third Rushmore

This is probably the most rules I've ever done for a Rushmore, I'm going to try not to be the fun police but this topic is a little more abstract IMO

If you don't see what you nominated on here it's because it is on my extended schedule, I am taking all nominations down. The extended schedule is a work in progress and is not available at this time, mainly because you all had so many (non-Pokemon) good ideas.

YESTERDAY: Not much competition here. Some mild debate over whether or not Lara Croft and Jill should count and a small push for Aya at the end. I thought the 4th spot would be a bit more debated but KP came in pretty early to remind everyone of the KOS-MOS pic incident and that seemed to give her a comfortable enough lead that she never had to worry about Lara.

The real story was in the tiebreaker, seeing Jill lose not only on TJF day, but on Valentine's Day. Heartbreaking! Leon gets our 4th spot on the Capcom Rushmore.

Most WTF answer: You know it's gotta be Nidoran F. Also someone voted for Rufus (SF) and I had to throw that out as Rufus was never actually in a contest but it was a good joke.

AI Rushmores:

Capcom, which hyper-fixated on either just Mega Man or just Street Fighter:

TJF, actually almost never gave me people but only would give me blank mountains and temples, except this result which I guess is a hybrid of all 4 characters:
