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 - 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.

Results from Day 51:

Ice Climbers (Ice Climber) is High Fodder
Lucario (Pokemon) is High Fodder
Mei Ling (Metal Gear Solid) is Mid Fodder

Here is today's trio to rank:

Michael Jackson (Michael Jackson's Moonwalker)
The Genie (Disney's Aladdin)
Bass (Mega Man)

Also I am introducing the LAW (Low Ass Weak) Fodder rating starting this round. This rating is reserved for characters that would make a regular Low Fodder character look good. In order to prevent overuse of the tier, all ratings for that character must be LAW Fodder in order to place them into that tier. If any rating for that character is Low Fodder or better, their final ranking will never be LAW Fodder.

Please also note that this round (and only this round), I will be allowing LAW Fodder tier votes for all characters currently ranked as Low Fodder. I will require 3 votes to make the move for a character. Specific callouts to Gabrielle Espinoza, Dangerous Ariana and Kyle Hyde - who seemed to be the weakest entrants judging by ratings on their respective days.
