Board 8 > How would they do in a contest? Day 510 ft Elincia Crimea, Sasuke, Mephiles

(+) 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.

Results from Day 509:

Splinter (TMNT) is Mid Fodder
Globox (Rayman series) is Low Fodder
Purple Tentacle (Day of the Tentacle) is Low Fodder

Here is today's trio to rank:

Elincia Ridell Crimea (Fire Emblem)
Sasuke Uchiha (Naruto games)
Mephiles (Sonic The Hedgehog 2006)

Low Fodder for all today.

Elincia is probably the closest to mid due to waifu votes and being playable in both PoR and Radiant Dawn. She doesn't seem that memorable of a character in PoR though. She's a primary character in RD, but it doesn't seem that Gfaqs cares much for that game.

Everyone knows who Sasuke is - no one likes him except fangirls for the most part.

Mephiles is another hilarious edgelord of a Sonic character, this time the antagonist of the infamous Sonic 2006. He's also notable for literally killing Sonic

---

yeah, low for all.

could kinda see LAW for Mephiles - hes not really one of his games many problems but hes still mostly only known for being in a bad video game - but not if were at the same time calling silver mid fodder.

Agree with halfsilver and Axem.
