Topic	How would they do in a contest? Day 388 ft Barack Obama, Cody, Samurai Goroh
MetalmindStats 07/06/20 3:31:28 PM #5:	Obama: Low Fodder - He's still a not-universally-beloved real-life person trying to get somewhere in a video game character contest, plus RacistFAQs >_> Cody: Low Fodder - Besides that absolutely hilarious 13-year-old poll Axem dug up, Haggar didn't even look good in 2013. He got near-tripled by Jill, barely placing above the Red Bird in the process, and then Jill turned around and got near-tripled by Mega Man. Spinning those results as Capcom SFF is the only way Haggar comes out retaining a shred of dignity, as the series' standout character. I can believe Cody's Street Fighter exposure puts him on par with Haggar, but he'd need to be clearly better to reach Mid Fodder. Goroh: Low Fodder Nook: Fodder Line - This is pretty much the exact same argument I used for reranking: Nook already looked like High Fodder, advantageous match circumstances or no, and then New Horizons happened to give its mascot a special boost. Also, we're ranking these characters based on what we expect would happen today, so while I'm also opposed to bumping Villager, I have no problem with reflecting Nook's current relevance. I'll also nominate Jimi Hendrix for reranking, by means of a comparison. Both Hendrix and John Lennon are primarily 60s musicians who died in tragic circumstances before their time, and Lennon is clearly the bigger and more relevant name from a GameFAQs perspective. Yet Hendrix is the one we have above Low Fodder, and he's the one whose ranking looks off to me in light of the whole 'real-life person in a video game character contest' thing. --- "I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people who do." <cite>MetalmindStats posted [p:941755469] in How would ...
