Board 8 > How would they do in a contest? Day 34 ft Morrigan, Zack Fair, Daryl Dixon

(+) Yeah! (+)

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.

Results from Day 33:

Linkle (Hyrule Warriors) is a Midcarder
Garland (Final Fantasy) is Mid Fodder
Marcus Fenix (Gears of War) is Mid Fodder

Here is today's trio to rank:

Morrigan Aensland (Darkstalkers)
Zack Fair (Final Fantasy VII)
Daryl Dixon (The Walking Dead)

Morrigan is a Low Midcarder. Her performances in the past have been impressive to the point I almost put her as a regular midcarder. But Capcom pretty much shelved the Darkstalkers series since 2013's Resurrection, which also happened to be Morrigan's last contest appearance. So I think she has less relevance today, but she's still got TJF to keep her above the fodder line.

Zack is a Low Midcarder. Most of his strength still comes from being "black-haired Cloud", and Cloud is still very strong. With FFVII remake upcoming, I don't think he will have dropped off much from 2013. He could climb back up to midcarder status when he eventually gets shown off in remake.

Daryl is. . . well. I have never cared about TWD personally, and from what I can tell, all the games that featured Daryl have not been good. I will say he is Mid Fodder, since he seems to be the most popular character from the AMC series. I think that he could get some votes from people who long since stopped watching the series, but do like Daryl himself. There are probably even a few people here who are still following it to the bitter end.

^what he said, except I put Daryl as low fodder. Clem and Lee looked like ass and they were actual video game characters from well received games and appeared in a contest when TWD was still extremely popular.
