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.

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 that if all posters for that day unanimously agree on the LAW Fodder rating. If any rating besides LAW Fodder is given, the character will not be eligible for the tier. All LAW Fodder ratings will then count as Low Fodder.

Rebecca - Mid fodder. Non-Leon/Jill RE characters have never looked all that great. Claire struggles, Wesker struggles, Chris struggles, and Ada has been pretty bad. I see Rebecca being weaker than all of those people.

Cole - Low fodder. It's a shame, because he's a pretty great character, but if GTA characters can't be worth a damn, there's no way the protagonist of a less-popular Rockstar IP would do even remotely well against anyone with any measurable strength.

Frogger - Low fodder. I know he's well-known, but I don't see anyone on GameFAQs caring about Frogger. I suppose the only hope he has is if some dumbasses mistake him for Frog.

Rebecca I say is High Fodder. She is well-liked despite only having a leading role in Resident Evil 0, and has her fanbase niche within the series. Claire and the like haven't done that terribly, and I think Rebecca will at least be able to match Claire. Wesker and Chris always have bad seeding too.

Agree with Low Fodder for Cole.

Frogger I say is Mid Fodder. Most of Gfaqs will know who he is and have probably played Frogger, which I think is enough to beat some weak characters.

I agree with darkx about all three. Rebecca never making a contest before and generally having more peripheral roles than Claire gives me no confidence in her strength, while Frogger is such a non-factor these days that I'm not convinced he would amount to anything in a contest.

I'm with darkx as well.

RE characters not named Jill or Leon are usually unable to get out of the first round, except with an occasional good draw in fourpacks. Rebecca is weaker than Chris, so Mid Fodder sounds right.

L.A. Noire is a game you've either played or you haven't. Anyone who has played it might vote for him, but anyone who hasn't wouldn't - regardless of who he's up against, really, provided they've heard of that character. Cole Phelps is not a name you see often. Low Fodder.

Frogger is a character people know but don't care about, seeing as he hasn't had a game - at least one that anyone knows about - in a long time. His name is meaningful to people, but his design and games really aren't. I lean more toward Mid Fodder for that reason. He'd beat more characters than Cole because of name recognition. Could totally see him getting creamed, however.
