Might as well post the logic:

1- Gut says it's not Link because of 2005/2006, but this feels like a trap. Also a later question says Link has the most votes ever. Gonna guess there are enough semifinals/finals for him to be in the top without those two contests.
2- Has to be from an early contest. Cloud actually won one of those, was in a lot of finals. Zelda/Draven are recent contest wonders. Samus didn't quite dominate anything as Cloud. L-block had a lot of votals but I suspect it wasn't quite of a consensus.
3- Kirby used to suck, Squall sucks now, Ryu has never been big, Ganon used to be known as the Zelda character who is not that strong. Bowser is the only one who is good across all eras, I think.
4- Pick the franchise that puts 10 characters in each contest. Pokemon.
5- Tifa and Vincent are historically the strongest, and iirc Vincent didn't appear in the first couple contests and started to suck in the later ones.
6- Default vote for the L-Block contest. I think it's got the highest voted finals too. 2007.
7- Cecil feels like someone who has reason to be in every contest, compared to others. It's old final fantasy, those always get nominated.
8- Average makes it tricky. I'm going with Yuna cuz she is one midcarder who doesn't quite have a history of choking I think. Yoshi does, Dante shouldn't be that strong, Master Chief is over, Aeries isn't that strong either I think. Or maybe she is? But Yuna looks like the harder guess to make.
9- It's Zard or Mewtwo. Mewtwo choked harder last contest. Going with Zard on a hunch.
10- Crono and Sonic are the most mistreated N9ers. Crono at least was in a final, Sonic wasn't. I picked Crono first, now I'm editing and picking Sonic.
11- Is Caim the one from SotC? Hope so.
12- The trap here is that old contests have 5x more votes than new contest, so if you got tripled in any contest after 2012 you might have had less votes than Tanner. So I'm going for the highest number. 28.
13- That's the question that spoiled #1, I think. Logic says it's Cloud, with the most finals and all.
14- GFNW. FE doesn't either. ME had one great contest and that's it. Mother kind of sucks too. Portal is from 2006, and has Glados, so probably won matches every contest since then.
15- Tricky. But I think Magus had one contest where he did great? DK had too, but it's a later contest with less votals. So Magus it is.
16- Too lazy to list. I think L-block qualifies (it's Russian). Otherwise I don't remember, but I wouldn't be surprised if the list was 100% Japan outside of that, especially with early contest having the most votals. Gonna pick 1.
17- I see Lloyd actually showing up in conversations as a character who has some strength. May be because of that.
18- Big Boss has the most contest strength. This one feels easy.
19- Which one has the old character who was probably in every contest and is a solid midcarder? Look no further than Starfox.
20- Yoshi is an epic choker. I don't recall Knuckles and "strength" ever being mentioned in the same sentence. Vivi was notable in 2013, so notable I suspect he was worth jack shit before. Zero is that kind of character who has reason to be strong since the dawn of time.
