Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

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.

MCU: Iron Man 1, Avengers 1, Endgame, Guardians 1

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

These featured contest ideas that few people were really asking for and also gave us the least to talk about for relevancy in future contests. Three of these had little emotional investment from us, and one had us invested for all the wrong reasons.

The 2004 character battle is there because of how poorly the bracket was made... it was simply too easy.

That's the only contest where I won prize money so it avoids the bottom 4 just for that

And SC2K4 is a worthy choice. We almost had a perfect bracket in that contest. Somehow the winner only missed Ryu/KOS-MOS.

Rivalry Rumble
Best Year in Gaming
Best. Series. Ever.
Got Villains? / Spring 2005

  • Yeah. Rumble sucks. The bracket the actually counted had like 3 decent matches and 50 of the others were horrible. Trainers/Cloud & Seph being an actual bracket match probably would've saved Rivalry Rumble off being this by itself because that one match was unbelievably good.
  • Obviously, Years also sucks. Who CARED? Did that one even have a good match?
  • Series had a couple good matches but was mostly a bracket full of weak series. This isn't that good.
  • I went with villains in the last slot mostly because it was the posterchild for "bad contest" until Rivalry Rumble. It had a couple good matches and some hilarious board reactions but it is really soured by so many of the characters being absurdly weak and thus most matches being so bad. It didn't even have Bowser and Ganondorf on the same side of the bracket! A modern version would probably be better because we have a few more villains now with actual strength at least. I mention this because all three of the above would probably still suck if you ran them today!


The only other contests I want to mentioned are 2008 and 2013. 2013 was mostly-destroyed by Draven and Pokemon, and Round 1 just kept going on, and on, and on (we do not need a round 1 with 81 fucking matches ever again) but had a few fun things like Vivi and Mega Man (of "lost to a fucking cube when Zero shared a poll with him" fame) succeeding in fighting off a Pokemon in a contest where Pokemon was killing everything left and right holy shit go Blue Bomber. I mostly use that Mega Man > Charizard matchup as justification to keep 2013 off this thing holy fuck I loved that match.

2008 in contrast just feels so forgettable. It had Snake leading Link for a while. And a bunch of weak Brawl characters. And. Uh.

Oh man, I forgot all the Brawl characters in 2008. I was more annoyed that L-Block's win in 2007 led to a flood of joke characters in 2008. I feel like it's really easy to forget about 2008 with 2007 also being a four-way contest and having more memorable moments.

Rivalry Rumble
Series
Villains

Ironically, if you combined the Rivalry Rumble and Villains contest into one entity, it might have had a shot. You let the likes of Magus, Knuckles, etc., but without them acting as proxies for their heroes, and you have a much deeper roster for a half-sized tournament.

He'd be in contention. Ryu and Chun-Li are locks. The other two spots would be between Ken, Guile, Bison, and Akuma, I think.

SF Characters was one of the first topics that started the Rushmore fad that eventually led to this series!

I forgot series even happened. The other 3 were the first ones to come to mind. I kinda liked the villains contest - biggest problem was the small bracket, but even still it was unpredictable enough that no bracket was perfect. Its the only contest I made top 50 in too.
