This is a topic to rate the contest strength of potential newcomers in the current contest environment.

I will pick the characters to rate and discuss for each day from user nominations - whoever the 3 most nominated characters are at that time. If there are more than 3 I will pick randomly. You can nominate any number of characters at any time, but you cannot nominate the same character twice.

All characters who were present in the 2018 Character Battle will NOT be eligible. Otherwise you can nominate any character that has appeared in video games; even comic book characters. This will exclude real-life athletes who have only appeared in long running sports series, however I will accept those who have their own games such as Shaq. I will accept nominations for iconic gaming duos too, if there is a compelling reason for both characters to be linked (either co-starring in a game ala Banjo & Kazooie, or always appearing together like Callie & Marie from Splatoon).

Each day will have a separate topic, and nominations will carry over. As far as actually rating the character's contest strength; I ask that users rank a characters potential strength with one of the following qualifiers - LAW Fodder, Low Fodder, Mid Fodder, High Fodder, Fodder Line, Low Midcarder, Midcarder, High Midcarder, Near Elite, Elite, LAW Tier (capable of beating Link). I will average all the ratings given to a character to come up with their final ranking. I have included a highlighted entrant from Character Battle X on each tier of the strength rankings below, to provide a baseline for each.

Note that LAW Fodder is meant to be a tier reserved for the weakest possible characters to put into a contest. A character will only be placed there if at least 3/4ths of the voters for that day agree on the LAW Fodder rating, and no ratings above Low Fodder are given. If either of those conditions are not met, the character will not be eligible for the LAW Fodder tier.

So Star Trek has a ton of video games, but I don't know if any are particularly notable. So my ratings will be tentative for the duo.

Spock I say is Mid Fodder since his name and appearance is recognizable and he's probably the most popular character from the series on Gfaqs.

Low Fodder for Kirk since he isn't as distinct as Spock.

Low Fodder for Lufia since the series is really, really niche. There is a fanbase still lurking around the site I'm sure, but the votes she pulls in from that will only just get her out of LAW fodder range.

Second, I was the one who originally nominated Marvin; I don't think Axem has even nominated him.

Blah not sure how I did that, they're added now. And I corrected the vote on Marvin.

nominations:

Lufia (Lufia/Estpolis Denki)

Nominations:

Sonic & Knuckles (Sonic & Knuckles)

I'm still going to say no to this one. I don't see the reasoning for including them together besides being together in the name of the game. Sonic and Knuckles aren't partners and don't particularly cooperate well. I'm allowing Mario & Luigi because they specifically work together in the games.

Low Fodder for Goemon. The Mii costume in smash is the most relevance he's had in 15 years.

Mid Fodder for Aang. Avatar is a bit younger than ideal to appeal to Gfaqs voters, but it is still a very popular series to this day. Aang is the main protagonist, but I think he is less popular among the fanbase than other characters like Zuko. There have been Avatar games but it's unlikely many on the site have played them.

I will say Mid Fodder for Donald Trump. I think some supporters on Gfaqs will try to round up votes for him, which will succeed to a small point. It won't turn into a Draven-like rally, but it will counteract the expected antivotes enough to get him over a weak fodder character.

Pyra was already rated a while back, but Mythra was nominated separately, so I added your vote there

I had rejected a nomination for Mario & Luigi in the past, but I've changed my requirements for a duo nom since then, so I will allow them now.

Low Fodder for Dart. There is definitely a fanbase for LoD on Gfaqs, but it seems to be pretty small nowadays - seemingly around the level of Skies of Arcadia going by a recent PoTD. The fact that he has never made a contest speaks pretty strongly too.

High Fodder (barely) for the Dog. Everyone will know him from Duck Hunt and smash, though he isn't especially popular in the latter. I think voters will be split between liking and hating him due to his trolly persona. But I think that fact that he is, well, a dog will help him lean towards the positive side.

Honestly, I say Fodder Line for Locke. He did not look that good in CB9, but it's hard to really place his result from the contest since Ness, who beat Locke, ran into an SFF beatdown from Luigi in R2. Since then Locke appeared in a Dissidia game, giving him some actual good pics to use in a contest. Plus Terra looked better than she ever has in CBX, so I think Locke could look good too.

nominate: Goose (Untitled Goose Game)

B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA

I'll go with High Fodder for Sailor Moon. Everyone knows who she is, and there is definitely some nostalgia for the show. She is the biggest icon of the magical girl anime genre, and I'm sure a decent amount of voters had a crush on her as a kid. I think that has to count for something, seeing how Tifa exceeded expectations in CBX. Unfortunately SM lacks relevant gaming history; only a few games actually had western releases.

I agree with Fodder Line for Leia based on previous arguments.

Agree with High Fodder for Greninja. Any Pokemon past Gen 2 is going to have issues getting votes on Gfaqs, and I feel that a lot of people on the site checked out before Gen 6. Greninja has smash but isn't hugely popular in the series, and design is only going to help so much.

nominations:

Jinjo (Banjo-Kazooie)
Serious Sam (Serious Sam)
Conan the Barbarian (Conan games)
Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer (Alien vs Predator)
Jack Slater (Last Action Hero)

B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA

First of all, I just found out I did not have the correct name listed for Larry. His actual name is Larry Laffer, but Leisure Suit Larry was what he was nominated as.

Anyway he's Low Fodder. I had no idea they were still making Leisure Suit Larry games, much less that one was released on the Switch a few months ago. There must be a fanbase for the series somewhere if the games keep getting made, and I think there could be some fans of the old games lurking on the site. Not too many, but enough to keep Larry from the bottom of the barrel.

E.T. is just barely Mid Fodder. I don't think he'll get a ton of votes based on nostalgia for the movie, since he'll be stuck with a terrible sprite pic. What he will get is some joke votes due to the infamy of the Atari E.T. game.

High Fodder for Bahamut. He's one of the best known and most popular FF summons, due to being a bad*ss dragon with a cool attack. He has appeared in some form in the vast majority of mainline FF games.

Low Fodder for BJ Blazkowicz. I don't think Gfaqs is going too care too much for him, and I'm not putting much weight behind rivalry rumble especially since Adolf was with him.

Maya is definitely not low fodder; in fact I don't think she is far behind Edgeworth. Mid Fodder for her.

Low Fodder for Kerrigan. She lost to a dog in 2013 and if anything she'll be weaker now.

I'm going to say Mid Fodder to all. Arthas I think is enough of a fan favorite to hit mid (barely) despite the popularity of WC taking a nosedive on the site.

B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA

This is a topic to rate the contest strength of potential newcomers in the current contest environment.

I will pick the characters to rate and discuss for each day from user nominations - whoever the 3 most nominated characters are at that time. If there are more than 3 I will pick randomly. You can nominate any number of characters at any time, but you cannot nominate the same character twice.

All characters who were present in the 2018 Character Battle will NOT be eligible. Otherwise you can nominate any character that has appeared in video games; even comic book characters. This will exclude real-life athletes who have only appeared in long running sports series, however I will accept those who have their own games such as Shaq. I will accept nominations for iconic gaming duos too, if there is a compelling reason for both characters to be linked (either co-starring in a game ala Banjo & Kazooie, or always appearing together like Callie & Marie from Splatoon).

Each day will have a separate topic, and nominations will carry over. As far as actually rating the character's contest strength; I ask that users rank a characters potential strength with one of the following qualifiers - LAW Fodder, Low Fodder, Mid Fodder, High Fodder, Fodder Line, Low Midcarder, Midcarder, High Midcarder, Near Elite, Elite, LAW Tier (capable of beating Link). I will average all the ratings given to a character to come up with their final ranking. I have included a highlighted entrant from Character Battle X on each tier of the strength rankings below, to provide a baseline for each.

Note that LAW Fodder is meant to be a tier reserved for the weakest possible characters to put into a contest. A character will only be placed there if at least 3/4ths of the voters for that day agree on the LAW Fodder rating, and no ratings above Low Fodder are given. If either of those conditions are not met, the character will not be eligible for the LAW Fodder tier.

Agree with Mid Fodder for Ripley. Her look may not be iconic, but her name and role are. She also provided the basis for Ridley's name and inspired the character of Samus Aran herself. That said Ripley hasn't appeared in a movie in 22 years, and the most relevance she's had since then was in cameos and DLC in Alien: Isolation.

I think Michael is Mid Fodder. He may not be as big of an icon as Freddy or Jason, but the Halloween movie series has held up better than NoES or Friday the 13th, which have a lot of terrible films in their libraries. And a relatively recent movie can never hurt.

Agree with High Fodder for T-800. Arnold's Terminator is iconic and everyone knows his famous lines, plus Gfaqs is in the perfect age range to have seen Terminator 2 as kids. But his robotic personality will hold him back from having legitimate strength in comparison to popular game characters.

nominations:

John Rambo (Rambo)
Rocky Balboa (Rocky)
Slimer (Ghostbusters)
Mr. Incredible (The Incredibles)
Chris Taylor (Platoon)

High Fodder for Vault Boy and Elizabeth. Vault Boy will definitely suffer from the reception of 76, and Elizabeth is well-liked but it has been a while since her single game.

Mid Fodder for Vyse, barely. He looked pretty bad in CB9 and its telling that he didn't even make CBX.

B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA

I'll agree with High Fodder for Winnie. I think there is a decent amount of nostalgia for the various cartoons he has appeared in, though I'm not sure how relevant his appearances in games are on the site. He is also an icon in his own right.

The Chair I believe is a chair in Aerith's house. I don't remember who first nominated the chair but they provided a pic at the time. Anyway I agree with Low Fodder. I think enough people will recognize that this is an "object" from Final Fantasy VII, which is enough to beat the LAW fodder tier weaklings.

Agree with Mid Fodder for the doggo.

nominations:

Torgo (Manos: The Hands of Fate)
Demogorgon (Stranger Things)
Adam Malkovich (Metroid)
Kylo Ren (Star Wars)
Toph (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Ghost Rider (Marvel)
Torchic (Pokemon)
Kitty Pryde (X-Men)
Joey Wheeler (Yugioh)

I've just about run out of characters to nominate at this point, so I urge all rating participants to Ctrl+F through the list of nominations and vote for anyone you think could be interesting for this topic.

Nominate:

As far as I can tell none of these characters have been in a video game, and are thus not eligible for nomination.
