New Characters

New Characters is a list of characters who have never made it into a Character Battle bracket (as of the 2013 Contest) or deserve a second shot that might be worth rallying for in the future. The list is maintained by Zen, but was composed as a community effort.

Italics indicates a character that might not be completely terrible. Someone who will never make it out of round 1 but might have potential to not completely embarass themselves.

Bold indicates a character that's suspected to be above the original fodder line. So, stronger than Vyse. Not that it means much anymore. This is the new high fodder. Someone who could win a match if put up against lesser fodder.

Bolded italics indicates a character that's suspected to be above the new fodder line, The Boss. Someone who could probably get out of round 1 easily.

If there's no text style then the character would only be rallied for a "happy-to-be-here" one-off appearance, and aren't expected to have any strength at all.

Characters That Should Return
Characters That Should Return is a list of characters that have proven themselves but do not receive enough nomination support to get into addtional contests. These characters will likely need a rally despite having entered a contest before. Some of these characters may be known as weak, but there is a chance they were given an unfair draw, and deserve a second shot. Special thanks to charmander6000 for creating this list.
