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.

If you feel that a character has been over or under-ranked, or if a new development has come up that would affect their contest strength, you may nominate them for a re-ranking. 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.

Low Fodder for all today.

Everyone knows who Snoop Dogg is, but I'm not sure how much Gfaqs cares for him. They probably don't care for his music so low seems good for him.

No one likes Kintaro - he is best known for being an incredibly annoying boss fight in MK2.

Machop is another good example of a Gen 1 Pokemon no one really cares for. Nothing really stands out about him in terms of design and needed a trade to evolve past Machoke. Plus being a fighting type in Gen 1 is unfortunate.

Low Fodder for Apollo. I don't see how he manages mid when even Edgeworth can barely do so. He has moved past the general negative perception of his namesake game, but I don't think he is much of a fan favorite regardless.

I thought about going mid for Jax, but I will say Low Fodder. He does stand out design-wise and first appeared in the popular MK2, but I don't think the average voter is going to care about him. I don't know if he's a fan favorite, but the active fanbase for the series on Gfaqs is probably pretty low, judging by MK11's performance in GotD2.

I can't see many people even recognizing King Watinga since he only appears in Mario Paint and Mario Maker 1, so I say LAW Fodder.

Sakura is a big fan favorite of the Street Fighter series - definitely a top 10 character in terms of popularity. She also only trails Ryu, Chun-Li, Akuma and Ken in playable game appearances. Since Sakura debuted in 1996's Street Fighter Alpha 2, she has been playable in every Street Fighter-related game with the exception of the Street Fighter 3 series and some Vs. games (TvC, MvC3, MvCI).

Sakura also sees a large amount of play due to being a shoto and is heavily tied to Ryu story-wise. I will say Mid Fodder for her. I considered going high for her, but I think some voters will be turned off by her schoolgirl design.

I will say Low Fodder for Septim. His largest roles were in the first 3 Elder Scrolls games and was only in the beginning of Oblivion. I don't see any NPCs from the series being worth much unless there's a fan favorite I'm not thinking of.

I will say Mid Fodder for Fearow. It's a Gen 1 mon that I'm sure plenty of people had on their team, and was better than Pidgeotto thanks to its high attack stat. Plus its a big bird that draws comparisons to Ho-Oh.

Low Fodder for Amanda Ripley. She only appears in one game, but that game does get a decent amount of praise. Having the Ripley name and resemblance to Ellen will keep her from slipping to law range too.

also re-rank Crewmate. Among Us' popularity seems to have mostly died down, and Gfaqs likely doesn't much care for the SUS memes anymore. It might still be popular with kids but they aren't on this site.
