Hello everyone, and welcome to the project where we rank all the CBX characters by contest strength! This time, well be ranking the Midcarders, comprised of the following characters:

2B, Amaterasu, Bayonetta, Chun-Li, Crash Bandicoot, Fox McCloud, Frog, Geralt, Kefka, Knuckles the Echidna, Kratos, Leon Kennedy, Magus, Princess Peach, Sub-Zero, Terra Branford, Tidus, Vincent Valentine, and Yuna

Before we get going, heres the Rules, as always:

1. If at all possible, please number your rankings (ex. 1 for the strongest character, etc.) - it makes your ranks much clearer, allowing me to tabulate them much easier.
2. Rankings of indirect strength are preferred, but direct rankings will be allowed, especially in tandem with indirect rankings.
3. Stick to one ranking per tier (or one ranking each of indirect and direct strength if you choose to separate them) - dont try to sway the standings with multiple accounts.
4. Youre always welcome to submit retroactive rankings if you missed one or more days, as well as change your existing rankings if so inclined, up until this project ends.
5. And most importantly, be nice to each other, even people you dont like! Discussion is welcomed and encouraged, but this isnt ultimately meant to be an overly serious project, so I dont want to see any knock-down, drag-out arguments developing in here about how someones not ranking by the stats or whatever else - use your discretion about this.

Heres the spreadsheet that Ill be using to record data for this project: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s6rNxUlXY3kpo9Ru-Pyw9CjtGBIRasJKiUv6a7cEgEw/edit?usp=sharing

And here's our Board 8 Wiki page, where you can find the list of tiers, among other things: http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Ranking_the_CBX_Characters_by_Contest_Strength

Heres the Midcarders listed in an easy copy-paste format:

2B
Amaterasu
Bayonetta
Chun-Li
Crash
Fox
Frog
Geralt
Kefka
Knuckles
Kratos
Leon
Magus
Peach
Sub-Zero
Terra
Tidus
Vincent
Yuna

As for yesterday's results, here's our current ranking of the Upper Midcarders:

1. Zero
2. Auron
3. Aerith (tie)
3. Squall (tie)
5. Red
6. Ryu
7. Mewtwo
8. Charizard
9. Dante
10. Sora
11. Donkey Kong
12. Big Boss

There was just enough dissension on Zero topping the Upper Midcarders to move him down - sorry, Anagram and darkx. In terms of dissension, see also: our first tie, between Aerith and Squall, with Squall having multiple rankings at first and at last but an above-average mean nonetheless. Also worth noting: TPLink's Near-Elite ranking shifted Mega Man X above Sonic, Kirby above Ganondorf, and almost did the same for Vivi above Alucard. No other thoughts tonight because I'm running behind in getting this topic up.

Finally, see the next post for an announcement regarding our schedule moving forward.

Going forward, we will be shifting away from a daily schedule, at least for the time being. Why, you might ask?

- For one, the remaining slates are (mostly) going to have even more characters than the Near-Elites, and with less obvious indicators as to their rankings, so I decided to give an extra day for those who want to get their rankings in while the current slate is active.
- This also allows new participants and anyone who's fallen behind the time to catch up.
- Additionally, the holidays are starting to get into full swing now.

As such, this will be our schedule moving forward (with all times in PT):
- Midcarders: day lasts for about 48 hours, finishing in the evening of December 21
- Lower Midcarders (19 characters): day starts the evening of December 21 and finishes the evening of December 23
- Fodder Line (15 characters): day starts the evening of December 23 and finishes the evening of December 26
- High Fodder (20 characters): day starts the evening of December 26

How about you tone down the pepper, and just accept that, regardless of whether you're right or wrong (and at the very least, it's a debate, considering Zelda's bandwagon and rallies), more people think Snake is not-last among the Elites than those who think he's behind one or more of Crono, Mega Man, and Pikachu. Unfortunately for you, I can't sculpt my tiers off of the whims of one person - otherwise, I might have dropped Ryu into the Midcarders.

I highly doubt that but then again I suppose one needs to maximize targets to properly spew hate.

Not going to dignify the other poster by quoting him. He wants to rage against his own mental inferiority, let him. I'll be happy to follow Ulti's lead and embrace my inner Insufferable Genius.
