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 both members of said duo are named in the title of a game (Banjo-Kazooie, Sam & Max Hit the Road, etc).

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 - 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.

Buzz Lightyear would be Fodder Line, I think people do love Buzz but honestly his character hasn't really gone anywhere... ever (I didn't see TS4 so I could be wrong). At least the TS section of KHIII didn't seem awful but I don't think that matters much here.

Rash would be Mid Fodder. Battletoads is more of a meme than anything at this point. I don't even know how legit people's love for it is at this point. I might be wrong but I don't think it's very strong nostalgia-wise (although people were upset at the new game's artstyle for some reason but I think people just like to bitch) and I can't even remember how it did in the game's contest. I do remember I did the match pic for it and I fucked it up and left an upside-down sprite in the middle of the pic and LITERALLY nobody noticed because who gives a shit

I have no idea who Aoi is but I googled her and she has some honkers on her, I think she might be able to beat Cayde-6 but that's not enough to get her out of Low Fodder. Danganronpa is the nichest of niche.

Buzz could be as decent as a low midcarder if the contest were held this summer, but otherwise I say high fodder. That Toy Story 2 game was pretty damn good.

I'm not too familiar with the others but I'd say low fodder for both. The Battletoads joke is so 10 years ago and Monokuma was low fodder so I have no reason to be confident in any other DR characters.

Buzz Lightyear: High Fodder - I'm of the opinion that a wide swath of GameFAQs doesn't really care about Toy Story, and a combination of its lacking video game legacy and Buzz being the second banana can't help matters.

Rash: Low Fodder - There's probably about a dozen very vocal GameFAQs users who still care about Battletoads in 2019.

Aoi Asahina: Low Fodder - I choose to trust that GameFAQs isn't so TJF-obsessed that voters would elevate a Danganrompa no-name any higher.

Nominations:
Baby Metroid (Super Metroid)
Carl Johnson
Dark (Aliens vs. Predator)
Garland (Final Fantasy)
George Washington (Assassin's Creed III / Civilization series)
HK-47
Kasumi
Keeby (Kirby's Dream Course)
Meowth
Mr. Resetti

You're damn right I did! Same with many of my nominations, actually.

I was going to nominate Specimen 6 instead, but I decided it would be interesting to try to determine the effects of the name Dark on contest strength.

I would honestly judge Toy Story to be almost as much of a 90s classic as The Lion King, and the movie series is still relevant today. That combined with TS being in Kingdom Hearts III and nostalgia for the first 2 movies and Toy Story 2 game give him a lot of potential strength. But Buzz also strikes me as a character Gfaqs won't care THAT much about, so I will say Fodder Line for him.

I say Rash is Mid Fodder, only because there are new Battletoads games coming out and there are probably some people on Gfaqs who won't let go of the joke.

Aoi is Low Fodder, about the same as Monokuma. I don't know a whole lot about Danganronpa, but there are some girls with strong designs I think could outperform Monokuma. Aoi isn't one of them.

nominations:

George Washington (Assassin's Creed III / Civilization)
Baby Metroid (Super Metroid)
Garland (Final Fantasy)
Hayley Williams (Guitar Hero)
Ratchet (Ratchet & Clank)
Roll (Mega Man)
Magikarp (Pokemon)
Goofy (Disney/Kingdom Hearts)
Cell (Dragonball Z)
Noel Vermillion (Blazblue)
