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 there is a compelling reason for both characters to be linked (either co-starring in a game ala Banjo & Kazooie, or always appearing together like Callie & Marie from Splatoon).

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 - LAW Fodder, 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.

Note that LAW Fodder is meant to be a tier reserved for the weakest possible characters to put into a contest. A character will only be placed there if at least 3/4ths of the voters for that day agree on the LAW Fodder rating, and no ratings above Low Fodder are given. If either of those conditions are not met, the character will not be eligible for the LAW Fodder tier.

If you feel that a character has been over or under-ranked, or if a new development has come up that would affect their contest strength, you may nominate them for a re-ranking. You may nominate one character per day for this, and 3 votes are needed to get them on the slate. One character with 3 votes will come up for re-ranking today.

Gardevoir (Pokemon) - Low fodder

It's one of the most popular and best known gen 3 pokemon that's not from a starter line or a legendary but that's not particularly impressive. Probably on the good side of low fodder thanks to that.

(Surely people are over wanting to have sex with this thing? Please?)

Onion Knight (Final Fantasy III) - Low fodder

people don't care about FFIII or him in dissidia.

Ciri (The Witcher series) - Mid fodder

remotely prominent witcher III character? yeah sure.

probably not. Mid Fodder for Gardevoir since it's also very memorable for a Gen 3+ Pokemon. It had an alternate evo in Gallade in Gen 4 and a Mega evo in Gen 6, and it's in Pokken.

Agree with Low Fodder for Onion Knight and Mid Fodder for Ciri.

Agree with Mid Fodder for Gardevoir (sadly, people will never be over wanting to have sex with it) and Low Fodder for Onion Knight.

I'm going to go with High Fodder for Ciri. The fact that she made the IGN's 64-character battle, where the entrants were determined by user votes, implies that she's stronger than the likes of Triss and Yennefer, who I'd already take to have some strength.
