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.

CJ would get this picture in all of his matches and be weaker than Ness:

Meowth - midcarder. Gen 1 Pokemon can be powerful, and Meowth has had a starring role in the anime since its inception.

George Washington - fodder line. Honestly this one is a crapshoot, so I'm just going kinda in the middle.

CJ - mid fodder. Vercetti looked like ass last time he made the field, and he was stronger than CJ to begin with. Heck I might take Big Smoke over CJ due to meme status.

Meowth - low mid-carder, I guess.
George Washington - mid-carder. Assuming this is the same Washington we're all familiar with.
CJ - mid-fodder at this point. Crash annihilated Vercetti in the 2013 contest, and CJ is even weaker than that.

Meowth is a Low Midcarder. Just being a gen 1 pokemon is enough to have some strength, and the anime helps Meowth out a lot. But Meowth wasn't really popular in the games themselves.

George Washington is Fodder Line. Honestly hard to judge, but I don't see him beating anyone who could be considered a midcarder. Assassin's Creed and Civ are not that popular on Gfaqs, and I doubt anyone from outside the US will vote for him.

CJ I honestly think is High Fodder. San Andreas had decent strength in the 2015 game tournament, and did better than Vice City. Plus there are several memes associated with C.J. like following the train and "Aw sh**, here we go again". I would bet that he's stronger than Vercetti at this point.

nominations:

Eevee (Pokemon)
Golbez (Final Fantasy IV)
Jax (Mortal Kombat)
Rita Mordio (Tales of Vesperia)
Gambit (Marvel games)
Link's Grandma (Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker)
Chuck Norris
Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead)
Tyrion Lannister (Game of Thrones)
Rocket Raccoon (Marvel)

Meowth - Midcarder. Meowth has a huge range. I have a feeling he could honestly be anywhere from Fodder Line to the 2nd strongest Pokemon. But around the level of Blue feels right.

George Washington - Fodder Line. ...I've got no idea, but I can at least see him getting a lot of votes in the US?

CJ: Mid Fodder. It's a protagonist whose strength will have aged poorly, and he didn't have a lot of it to begin with.

I think I agree with Low Midcarder for Meowth and Mid Fodder for Carl Johnson (only because time has been kinder to him than other GTA characters).

For George Washington, though, I have a radical take: Mid Fodder. Especially on GameFAQs of all sites, I really don't think the voter base is inclined to vote for someone perceived purely as a historical figure. That goes double for as vanilla (albeit very respected) a person as George Washington.

Nominate:
Gardevoir (Pokmon)
Leonardo da Vinci (Assassin's Creed series)
Navi (The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time)
Tabuu (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)
Tali'Zorah nar Rayya (Mass Effect)
