Topic | How would they do in a contest? Day 329 ft The Penguin, Kite, Dory |
half_silver28 05/06/20 9:13:26 PM #1 | 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.

half_silver28 05/06/20 5:23:46 PM #4 | Agree with Axem on Mike and Leatherface. For Apu I will say Mid Fodder. He hasn't been explicitly cancelled, and the controversy with his character has kept him relevant for the past few years despite his diminished role in the show. He is still a prominent character from the show's heyday with appearances in some games, and has the association with the popular Kwik-E-Mart to fall back on. --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA |

Topic | How would they do in a contest? Day 327 ft Samwise, Scarlet Witch, Red Skull |
half_silver28 05/05/20 4:54:06 PM #3 | Samwise is one of the better-liked LOTR characters from what I've seen - being the earnest companion of Frodo who saves his ass a dozen times over. I think he's High Fodder despite lacking the "cool" factor of characters like Aragorn or Legolas. Low Fodder for Scarlet Witch. The MCU version of her does not resemble her classic comic incarnation, and I'm pretty sure her match pic will feature her classic design. She might have TJF in her favor but I don't see Gfaqs caring enough. Low Fodder for Red Skull. He leads others to a match win he cannot possess. . . --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA |

half_silver28 05/03/20 10:08:06 PM #2 | I'll go ahead and rate today's characters now. Low Fodder for all. Kevin I don't think is all that well-liked and the movies are pretty old now. Glover is a character that a lot of the Gfaqs demographic is likely familiar with, but I can't see him getting a ton of support. Boromir is somewhat obscure despite being an original member of the LOTR Fellowship, and is a divisive character among people who do know him. --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA |

half_silver28 05/03/20 1:04:43 PM #3 | Athena is close but ultimately I have to say Low Fodder. Ace Attorney simply has not looked good in the past few contests, with even Edgeworth looking quite weak in CBX. I'm sure there is some vote split to blame for neither of last decade's major AA releases making GOTD, but that fact definitely does not help Athena. Mid Fodder (barely) for Ultros. He is a pretty memorable recurring boss character from FF6, and has had a good amount of reappearances in main and spin-off FF games. I don't think YOU ARE A BOLD ONE is enough to get Grievious to mid fodder by itself. Part of me thinks he'd get a match pic showing off his four lightsabers and get the needed boost, but realistically his pic won't do enough. So I say Low Fodder. --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA |

half_silver28 05/02/20 11:05:14 AM #2 | Low Fodder for Andrew Ryan. Bioshock isn't nearly as relevant as it once was and while Ryan is praised for his role in the original game, he'll just look like generic mc-old dude in his match pic. Plus he is much better known for his VAing than his actual appearance. Servbot got 25% on Mario once - in the literal first Gfaqs contest match ever. Now I think he'll be Low Fodder (but admittedly close to law). Servbot is pretty recognizable as a mascot-type character and some people should have nostalgia for the MM Legends games, which should be enough to stay at low. Quicksilver I say is Low Fodder. He was in both the X-men franchise and MCU, but the only "good" movie included in those appearances is X-Men Days of Future Past. I haven't seen any of them, but I don't think Quicksilver is generally liked all that much overall. He was a jerk in X-Men Evolution, and I have a feeling he gets stereotyped as such in most of his other appearances. --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA |

Topic | How would they do in a contest? Day 323 ft The Thing, Tony Montana, The Lizard |
half_silver28 05/01/20 2:22:09 PM #2 | Mid Fodder for The Thing. He's easily the most recognizable and well-liked F4 member, and was the only major character in the 2000s F4 movies who had an overall positive response. Low Fodder for Tony Montana. Scarface is simply too old and the games Tony appeared in didn't make a big enough impact (nor his Payday 2 appearance). Low Fodder for the Lizard. I think only first tier Spider-Man villains will really be worth much in a contest, and I don't think the Lizard is really there. Plus Lizard looked pretty goofy in Amazing Spider-man, his only movie appearance not counting Curt Connors in the Raimi trilogy. He'd have to be in an MCU movie to move up imo. --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA |

half_silver28 04/30/20 5:31:50 PM #4 | Low Fodder for Lemming. Lemmings are iconic to an extent, but the series hasn't really been relevant since the 90s, and I don't think many people actually like the suicidal idiot Lemmings. Mid Fodder for Gamora since she's been a major focus of several MCU movies and is a hot alien girl. Low Fodder for Koopa the Quick. He doesn't look any different from a regular Koopa, but I don't think that people actually like him due to frustration over his race in Mario 64. --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA |

half_silver28 04/29/20 11:23:27 PM #1 | 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.

half_silver28 04/29/20 5:35:30 PM #4 | I guess I will (barely) give Athena Mid Fodder. She had a major role in GoW2 and 3, and is one of the best-known Greek gods. She also wasn't nearly as much of a dick as the other gods in the series. Her cameo in GoW 2018 is quite memorable as well. Low Fodder for Hades. He has an interesting design but that won't get him very far nowadays. Plus his only major appearance was in GoW3, despite the amount of time Kratos spends in the Underworld over the trilogy. Low Fodder for King Dice but I think he is pretty close. Like the Devil a lot of players probably never made it to his boss fight, and while does have some presence in the game before that I don't think he stands out quite enough. Low Fodder for Ecco. Being a dolphin is cool and all, but it can't keep Ecco out of this range when his last game was in 2000. --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA |

half_silver28 04/27/20 5:32:05 PM #3 | I will go with Low Fodder for all today. Drax is pretty close to being mid simply due to MCU popularity and having some incredibly memetic quips from Infinity War. He'll probably be mid once they start showing trailers for Guardians 3. I don't know exactly how the SW fanbase feels about Padme, but the whole "dying of a broken heart" thing probably left a pretty negative last impression. And she was stuck in a terrible film trilogy to boot. Eve might be close to mid since Gfaqs still seems to like Parasite Eve quite a bit, but the series is still pretty obscure and hasn't had a new game in 10 years. Plus she doesn't have TJF. --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA |

half_silver28 04/26/20 11:37:10 AM #4 | LAW Fodder for Mr. Driller. It was 2002, yes, but losing to SERIOUS SAM is forever. Chin is LAW Fodder due to being a Bruce Lee clone from a joke of a game that most people won't know. Starfy is Low Fodder. He was a Japan-only character for a long time and only has 1 game released in the US at this point.

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.

You may nominate one character per day for this, and 3 votes are needed to get them on the slate. One character with 3 votes will come up for re-ranking today.

half_silver28 04/23/20 3:30:15 PM #2 | Mid Fodder for Skyla, and you know why. Two Large Reasons. Low Fodder for Alex Kidd, though he's pretty close to law. Too old for most of Gfaqs to care about, but his history as the former mascot of Sega should get him some votes from oldies. So Tekken 7 got completely wrecked by Smash Ultimate, but I'm not going to go all in on the series being worthless since it definitely got hit with fighting game LFF in that match. That said I think Kazuya ends up as Low Fodder for looking like generic mcjapanesedude, and for being absent from the most popular game in the series in Tekken 3. I just now realized I completely mucked the OP for this topic. Just. . . ignore the first part of it lol. --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA |
