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.

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.

Cid I think will be able to hit Mid Fodder. The "Cid" name is pretty iconic for the FF series, and I think fans do generally like this Cid. I'm not sure if his design will go over well but it will certainly stand out.
For Shadow Queen, I assume her match pic will be her true form and not the Edge I will put at Low Fodder. He has the advantage of being a ninja, but I think that's all he'll get. I don't think fans of FF4 like him that much due to some of his hot-headed and misogynistic behavior in the game. --- B8 Waifu ranking - http://pastebin.com/qnUpLnDA ... Copied to Clipboard!

Re-Rank Mai Shiranui. Gfaqs doesn't have a very large SNK fanbase, and it is asking a lot of TJF to bump Mai up to high fodder, even when said TJF is iconic.

Cid - mid fodder
If his name wasnt Cid, hes be Low for sure though. Shadow Queen - low fodder Edge - mid fodder I believe in the ninja plus playable Final Fantasy character. Plus while Edge isnt exactly a fan favorite, we ranked friggin Rosa mid fodder. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] ... Copied to Clipboard!
