Board 8 > How would they do in a contest? Day 299 ft Chibiterasu, Jasmine, Korra

(+) Yeah! (+)

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 there is a compelling reason for both characters to be linked (either co-starring in a game ala Banjo & Kazooie, or always appearing together like Callie & Marie from Splatoon).

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 there if at least 3/4ths of the voters for that day agree on the LAW Fodder rating, and no ratings above Low Fodder are given. If either of those conditions are not met, the character will not be eligible for the LAW Fodder tier.

If you feel that a character has been over or under-ranked, or if a new development has come up that would affect their contest strength, you may nominate them for a re-ranking. You may nominate one character per day for this, and 3 votes are needed to get them on the slate. One character with 3 votes will come up for re-ranking today.

For Chibiterasu I will say High Fodder. Okamiden isn't that popular but Okami is and Ammy has been a solid midcarder in all of her appearances. So I assume that the smaller and cuter version of Ammy will have some strength as well.

I will also say Jasmine is High Fodder. She's a Disney waifu from a prime 90s movie that almost everyone has seen, which also had a live-action remake recently. Jasmine even has her own version of the "slave outfit" a-la Leia.

Low Fodder for Korra. Legend of Korra is way too recent of a series to have any sort of strength on Gfaqs.

Mid Fodder for Greninja. Black and White may not be that popular on the site, but Greninja itself is still decently popular in Smash and arguably the strongest post gen 3 starter.

Mid Fodder I guess for Chibiterasu, because that's about where Missile looked to be, thanks to cute doggo appeal.

Mid Fodder for Jasmine, since that's where I ranked Ariel. Aladdin is much more popular than The Little Mermaid, yes, but Ariel's the main character of her movie, which matters a lot on GameFAQs.

Agree with Low Fodder for Korra and Mid Fodder for Greninja. I'm still unconvinced voters actually care about it, but Smash + popular, prominent starter + perhaps its status as a ninja should give it just enough strength.

Chibiterasu (Okamiden)
mid fodder. Amaterasu is a decent midcarder and all but not someone thats cared about a ton. Im willing to grand mid fodder based on the resemblance and being cute maybe keeping it out of the basement but I dont think ammy the next generation has very high prospects; nobody actually cares.

Jasmine (Disneys Aladdin) - mid fodder

not being the lead is a problem, yeah.

Korra (The Legend of Korra) - low fodder

Greninja (Pokemon) - mid fodder

re-rank incineroar.

Jasmine gets low
