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 - 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.

Han Solo - midcarder. Not quite as strong as Darth but he is still an incredibly beloved character from arguably the most popular multimedia franchise of all time.

Liquid Snake - fodder line. I think that's how far he has fallen. The fact that he missed the 243 character bracket is telling, and he didn't get back in again in 2018. I could see Nathan Drake taking him down at this point.

Jessica Albert - low fodder. I don't have any faith in non-Slime/Hero Dragon Quest characters.

Agree with Midcarder for Han and Fodder Line for Liquid.

Jessica I say is mid fodder. DQ VIII is arguably the most popular game in the series on Gfaqs (not sure if XI has eclipsed it though). She's also an attractive character with the "puff puff" going for her.

Han Solo: Low Midcarder - I think there's a handful of things that will contribute towards him not being as strong as you'd expect, such as internet dissatisfaction with the direction Star Wars is heading (which should be concentrated on GameFAQs given its demographics), Han's design looking a bit like an ordinary live-action McDude and not being as iconic as, say, Darth Vader's, and not having any particularly notable video gaming roles, that I know of.

Liquid Snake: Fodder Line - Right where Revolver Ocelot is, and at least Ocelot keeps getting nominations. If anything, this might be high, considering his historical struggles with pic factor and how thoroughly people have apparently forgotten him.

Jessica Albert: High Fodder - https://dragon-quest.org/w/index.php?title=File:Jessica_Albert.png&action=view

I'm also pretty high on the Dragon Quest series' strength in general, for what it's worth.

I was reading her name as Jessica Alba the whole time and I was wondering why the hell she was in a DQ game

Han Solo: Low Midcarder
Liquid Snake: Fodder Line
Not Jessica Alba: Mid Fodder

Sounds right

Garland was rated on a previous day. I should probably just alphabetize the current ranking lists as well.
