Dark Link: High Midcarder - GameFAQs has moved past the era of voting for a character on the merits of design and what they represent (except for TJF), and onto the era of voting for characters they actually care about. Case in point: Ganondorf looked shaky last contest even as Zelda was never better. This is as simple as docking a tier from where I would place Ganondorf, acknowledging that Dark Link isn't the recurring antagonist of practically the entire series.

M. Bison: Low Midcarder - The easy range for any second-tier Street Fighter character (i.e. also Ken and probably Akuma) who doesn't have something extra going for them (Chun-Li).

Mickey Mouse: Low Midcarder - Kingdom Hearts is the only reason anyone on GameFAQs would actually care about him, and its strength has never been worse. Still, like Pac-Man (who has zero starring games GameFAQs cares about), his icon status should keep him firmly above the Fodder Line.

I agree with your reasoning and rating on Mickey and Bison. I say Dark Link is a Near Elite though. He may not have a major role in the games but he is still Link and will get a lot of support based on that.

Sorry for missing the rest of your nominations from Day 2, I've added them now. Also I don't think I will allow retroactive voting for previous days. As long as I get at least 3 ratings for a character with good reasoning I think that will be fine. If a new release or something comes out that might boost a character's strength I will consider bringing them up for a re-rank. I'll try to include all 3 characters up for rating in the topic from now on though.

My nominations for this day:

Donatello (TMNT)
Strider Hiryu
James Bond
Mai Shiranui (KoF)
Paper Mario
Meta Knight (Kirby series)
Raiden (Metal Gear series)
Rin Tezuka (Katawa Shoujo)
Hsien-Ko (Darkstalkers)
Sakuya Izayoi (Touhou)
