Fodder

Fodder is any character, game, or series who would be unable to earn more than 20% of the vote against Base Link, aka finishes under 20% on the X-stats for that season. Hence the fodder line is generally considered to be an X-stat value of 20%.

Some examples of fodder include Sarah Kerrigan (14.95%), Mother Brain (16.25%), Fallout 2 (13.90%), and the Harvest Moon series (13.89%). Someone like Viewtiful Joe is not technically fodder, however, as he finished with a 21.05% value on Base Link.

Those above the fodder line by below Noble Nine status are generally considered mid-carders - capable of winning a match, but probably only if their opponent is fodder.
