User blog:Smash The Echidna/SFW Summer Awards ~2013 /Smash's Votes





Best Hero - 11 Nominations
"Alright, then. Shall we begin?"

Vallum the Margay: A Paladin? Naturally he's gonna be heroic. It doesn't talk much about his history or any sort of appearances he's made, so I have no idea if he's actually done anything. Regardless, he's definitely hero material. +1

Shimmer the Hedgehog: I remember skimming over this page before back when that one RP went up in flames, and I'm not surprised he's got -3 votes already. Now that I get a look at him for judging, I'm immediately turned off by the intro paragraph. He's a hedgehog who has the same skills as others but has new ones such as teleportation. He's faster than the speed of mind? Wha? There's a lot more that's wrong with this character but most of it's already been said. (Piko Piko hammer, excessive powers, splitting jewels 50/50 with Rouge...Yeah, no.) -1

Statyx the Hedgehog: I don't know about "Best Hero", and my experience RP'ing with him lead to some of my characters rolling their eyes or getting frustrated with his compulsive challenges toward the enemy--which would nearly be suicide for most characters there considering who they were dealing with. Looking over his page though, he seems to be an okay guy. Character development is a thing. I'm still gonna hold off my vote here, though.

Static the Cat: The only time I really saw this character in action, he was getting saved by Cutter. :| Still, his heart's in the right place. The most I can tell from his page is that he tries really hard to be a hero. Come back after you beat Quest for Glory 1.

Splice The Hedgehog

So yeah you see, we're pretty undercover. When it comes to the threats that I've faced here on SFW, all I can say is, I try."

Nikki "Nikkell" the Hedgehog: I promised to give a full fledged review on this character, and try to help improve her. As she stands now, she isn't very well liked. It's funny; When she first got here, everyone was all like "Oh man, this girl is amazing." But these days I've been seeing people look down on her and criticize her pretty harshly. I mean, she's got -3 votes. That's on par with Shimmer, and Shimmer is just barely getting out of his Recolored stage. Of course, I haven't really taken a good long look at this character yet so I don't really know exactly all of her problems, but still. That's a bit depressing. I'm going to hold my vote here on her, and save the review for Best Character; I feel that's where it'd really count.

Vexx the Hedgehog: This feels like a more tragic Chrono Trigger type of thing. +1

Neo Tranquil the Fox: Eh...bleh...meh. He doesn't seem like a good hero to me. -1

Cyclone the hedgehog: I don't really know what or how to say, but this page left a bad taste in my mouth. -1

Crymson the Cat: I should really actually RP with her sometime. Regardless, I've gone over this page before and I know that she deserves this. +1

Bolt the Hedgecat: ....there is absolutely nothing even remotely heroic on this page. He's just...some guy, really. -1

This isn't a very good start...

Best Villain - 8 Nominations
"And now, let's take a look at out adversaries."

Nega MkII: It seems interesting, but if there were to be an upgrade of the Egg-Nega Wisp, I would see it as still being a machine operated by Eggman. And if it had to be characterized, I'd have it a mute, like Mecha Sonic or, to an extent, Metal Sonic.

Shapes the Hyena: Oh, geez. A serial killer!? +1

Nightmare the Lycalo: The first picture looks kinda silly but the second one is somewhat intimidating. Regardless, I can't say he's an actual villain--this is more like a berserk dark form.

Darkyle The Hedgehog: Looking back at his page, I realized that I was really, REALLY vague about this guy. I mean, seriously. It's been years now, so I guess I could add some more stuff to it, but I didn't want to reveal spoilers. Heck, there's a lot of things I've been hiding from you all about my characters. The two main people who have secrets yet to be revealed are Darkyle and Splice. No they're not related. (in either or any way.)

Gladius The Hedgehog: After a couple of misunderstandings, I realized that I wasn't very clear with certain things on his page. So lemme just say this now: When I said that he's targeting kids on his page, I mean he's literally actually killing off their parents so he can take them in. He has an entire gang full of hitmen to do the dirty work for him, so he can get off scott free. (Or so he thought.)

Avarice The Hedgehog: Avarice has some dark secrets as well, and he's in on that orphanage scandal as well. But while he has different methods to making a profit, he's still plenty evil. Especially since not only is he a main villain in SpTH, (Spoiler Alert!) he's directly responsible for breaking up Splice's entire family for no less than 17 years. (Spoiler End) So yeah, that's pretty bad.

Nusquam the Doppleganger (Appearance: Roleplay:Numbered Days): He put up a good fight, and he was actually the only villain I've ever actually defeated on SFW. Numbered Days is one of the few roleplays that I ever actually finished, not counting any episode with my brothers. Still, I'm gonna hold my vote on him because I'm pretty iffy about Numbered Days being canon to my series as a whole, since it kinda deals with gods/goddesses and the like, and I try to avoid that.

Hamaveck the Hateful: Oh man. This is a long one, I can't finish it all. But from what I've read, he definitely deserves a +1.

That's okay, I guess.

Best Anti-Hero - 5 Nominations
"I wonder how many dark and edgy Shadow rip-offs we could have run into here if we weren't so short on nominations."

Neo Tranquil the Fox: Anti-Hero, maybe. Can't say he's the best though.

Subzero: "YOU! You..you, you you PUNKfat, you! Don't think I forgot about our battle!" When I fought him, he came off as a real braggart and kind of a jerk. Though it seems that he isn't all bad, but my first impression of him left a permanently sour taste in my mouth. There isn't too much else to look at though so I'mma leave my vote hanging.

Gideon the Moose: Yo Gideon. Welcome back to the awards. Have a cola. +1

Panzyr the Destroyer: And a steak for the--um...chimera? I'll just call you a kitty. A steak for the kitty. +1

Freeze A. Aerion: Hum...Sure why not. +1

That's better!

Best Anti-Villain - 6 Nominations
"For a new category that people were skeptical about, 6 nominations isn't bad."

Fotiagos Imperium: My gosh, this guy's design is like, Splice gone wildly wrong. Not only that but he has both fire and Ice abilities, AND his alias is Arctic Inferno, Splice's ultimate move. What's more, he dual wields swords. That's close enough to Splice's twin daggers. ._____.; "Okaaayy...That's a liiittle more than creepy."

Anyway, this guy stands on the thin line between an Anti-Villain and an Anti-Hero. Actually he works either way. +1

Procurator Knight: I'mma hold my vote here. I dunno much about Sonic Chronicles anyway.

Nyx the Wolf: I remember you. Here's another +1, now that you've made your way to the category you belong in.

Static Nega: Seems anti-villanous enough to me. +1

Ethelia The Hedgehog: Y'see, there's two main reasons why I nominated her for Anti-Villain. 1: She wasn't quite fit to be a 100% villain. And it wasn't just me who noticed that; Several other people noticed that during the Spring awards. 2: I was actually considering her eventually changing sides and turning good. Even now, that option still isn't out of the question.

Rodney the Genet:....this guy isn't an Anti-Villain. He's hardly an Anti-Hero. The only thing he did wrong was donate money to a group of villains, only because he thought them to be collecting charity. -1

Back to the average.

Best Neutral Character - 5 Nominations
"We don't have enough neutral characters around here."

Murmur The Jackal: This...actually doesn't meet standards. I was careless to let this slip by. -1

Terrador Custos Bellator: I know this guy pretty well, and I can say without even glancing at his page that he's a good character with a pretty neutral standing. +1

Graviton the hedgehog: I find it pretty far fetched for a Chaos Emerald to be flung into space and conveniently land in a black hole and form a new emerald, and then get shot right back to Mobius. Other than that, he seems to be an okay guy. Holding my vote though.

Tao Nocturnous Kovu: Hmmmm...I feel like I've read this page before, but I dunno. Anyway, not bad. +1

Razorveil the Ichneumon: This guy is chaotic neutral. But neutral, nonetheless. +1

Can't really complain too much here.

Best Character - 21 Nominations Total
"We're doing things a bit differently this time around. Best Male and Female have merged to become Best Character, although they are still separated within the category. In the final round, the winners of both sides will face off for the Best Character prize. Runner up still gets the Best Male/Female though, as they did win their respective side."

Males - 9 Nominations
"I'll take care of the men's side."

Statyx the Hedgehog: This is where I give you my vote. +1

Temporal Kitsempt: I'm still a little iffy about this guy but it seems he's made some improvements over the years.

Tye The Hedgehog: Major improvements from our first encounter, but I don't see him as the best still.

Anatoly Levinski Prower: There's a lot of info yeah, but I don't...really like him. Tails' twin brother who was born 48 hours after his younger twin. That's the one thing that everyone's raging about, really. But even then, I don't like the idea of him being a relative of a canon character. -1

Splice The Hedgehog

"Now, I dunno about going and calling me "The Best" character around, but hey. It's gotta nice ring to it. I'll be honest with ya here: I feel a little shy about being in this category, but looking at the standings it seems I'm pretty well liked! Shucks, that's..kinda flattering. Thanks guys."

Thunder The Hedgehog: Ah, poor Thunder. He's been trying hard to get noticed. He's a good guy, to be sure. I definitely think he deserves some recognition.

Wade The Wallaby: ...*shrugs* I don't really have anything to say.

Twilight the Lycalo: Oh hey it's you again. You're an okay guy in my book. +1

Gizmo The Cat

"I wasn't expecting to show up here. And I've got a pretty good score--no wait, I'm in the lead?! Holy cow!"



Vote Count: 2 for / 1 Against

I was pretty neutral here for the most part.

Females - 12 Nominations
"I'll handle the ladies' room."

Erica Sakura: In my honest opinion, Erica is a rather...interesting character. But I don't think she quite fits here for SFW awards. In fact, the only tie to the Sonic universe she even seems to have is the fact that she's a seedrian. She's more of a...Y'know what she'd fit right in to a Wreck-It Ralph fanon. But she seems like she'd be more likely to have her own, similar universe. It's interesting, but as a Sonic Character I'm going to have to say no to this. She just doesn't fit here very well. -1

Nora Kouba: Yo Nora! How's it goin'? Shame you don't come by here much these days. +1

Phantom the Mink: As far as I'm concerned, this person's pretty unique. +1

Valencia the Vampire Werefox: I remember you too. And once again here's a +1.

Nikki "Nikkell" the Hedgehog: Alright, let's begin. The intro paragraph is okay but there are some points about it that I feel we'll need to look back to on this. Next, the majority of her history and appearances are of fangames such as Sonic Heroes 2 and the like. She seems to be really involved with the canon characters. If you ask me, I think she's too involved with the canon. She's written like she's pretty much one of them, which can bother many people. My suggestion here is that she should spend less time with Sonic and the gang and more time in her own stories and plots. Bring in more of your characters, make your own gang, maybe bring in a new villain to spice things up. I see she's already got her own S.H. styled team. If she has more of her own original plots that don't involve the canon characters (or only to a minimum) then that should help her character a lot.

Next, let's take a look at her powers and abilities. She's got Supersonic Speed, Pyrokinesis, high physical durability, minor super strength, high jumping abilities, Sol powers, a super form and a Dark form? Alright, we need to clean this out a bit. You've crammed a bit too many skills here. Like I mentioned on DeviantArt, The Super Speed needs to go. Not only is it pretty generically overused, but it looks bad on Hedgehogs now. For her sake, this needs to be the first one to go. Looking at her stats, I see that there is not one thing lower than 8. If 10 is supposed to be the max, then that's actually pretty OP. I suggest lowering some things so she's not like the best at everything. My first thought was to get rid of the High physical durability and minor super strength. She honestly doesn't look like the type to have bulky defense, or super strength for that matter. Those Sol powers feel unnecessary as well, but considering she's connected to the Sol dimension it's not really that strange. But the way it stands now, having Sol powers and Pyrokinesis is a bit of a stretch. Especially when it appears that Nikki is a singer, but we'll get back to that later. Right now, I think that either her Sol Powers or Pyrokinesis should probably go. I think that she should have less convenient powers to use at her disposal, so she'll have to rely on her wit some more. And finally, she's got a super form AND a Dark form. I never liked dark forms, and it just feels tossed in there. You can get rid of that. Her super form however, that little information as well. The only other thing I see on it is that she's slower than Sonic when she's super, but faster when she's normal? Well, good thing we're getting rid of super speed. But that makes me wonder about her super form even more. It seems that she's a little more balanced when super, which is odd. Anyway, I'll chuck some ideas your way. How about this; Nikki cannot use her sol powers unless she's super? That or Pyrokinesis--or both even, to make things more interesting.

Her entire abilities/powers/super forms section is very vague as a whole. We don't really know enough about them, but from what I can see they need toning down the way they stand now. So, I hope you consider these changes. For now, let's move on to the next thing. Nikki is a singer. She writes and sings songs in her free time. This is a trait that I feel needs to be expressed more than just in her pictures, as the one paragraph is the only place on the page that even mentions it, save for her infobox. She may not be an official star or anything, but it's certainly implied by the artwork, given that she's got a mic with her. If she's not a professional, it seems that she wants to be. I think you should put a little more focus on this than her various adventures to beat up Eggman and Nega.

Now, she's got a side-kick. Starlight. There's something about this that somewhat bothers me but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's because we don't know enough about their interactions with each other, so when you say that she's her sidekick, all I can do is take your word for it. I also feel like Nikki doesn't need a sidekick. Not that she should 'work alone', but having a sidekick feels a little unnecessary as well. I might change my mind if you go a little more in-depth about her relationship with Starlight.

And speaking of relationships, that's the last part of the page aside from trivia and the gallery. Actually, there isn't as much to say here as I thought. But there's one thing that really, really bothers me. And that's the list of friends where anyone is allowed to edit. I don't...I don't like that concept. It's basically allowing any random person to sign up and "be friends" with your character without actually having met them. And this applies to you, too. That last person who signed up could be a guy who probably didn't even know who you were, and vice versa. That and I honestly don't like the idea of having anyone be able to edit my pages, let alone openly allowing them to. I mean, if you're okay with this then that's fine, I suppose. But I would much rather have my characters develop some kind of friendship with them before adding them to the friends list. At the very least have them meet, first.

And there you have it. That's my review.

All in all, there's not enough information on the parts of her character I feel should be the most important, her powers need some tweaking and toning downward, and she needs to have her own stories and plots away from the canon. I don't think you'll win these awards the way you are now, but don't give up. You have the potential to be a great character; You just need to work at getting there. The road to Best Character is very tough and full of trial and error. I hope my advice in this review helps. I will give you a +1 for encouragement, because you can do this if you try.

Violet The Hedgehog

"Teehee, I never really thought about being one of the top quality characters on SFW, let alone getting an award for it. But so far I'm tied for the lead in the woman's half. (And according to the votes that haven't been tallied, I'm actually in first!) I know I shouldn't count my eggs before they hatch, but I can't help but feel giddy about it. Thanks everyone!"

Krys the Unicorn: ....this is like...some kind of highschool teen drama mixed with celebrities, and all the characters are under 10 years old.....wh-what. -1

Pearl The Echidna



Lucinda the Angelfox: Again, I'm gonna hold this off.

Crymson the Cat: Thumbs up and +1.

Jessie Garnet The Fox: Tsk tsk tsk. Poor Jess is farther behind than Thunder. Her quest for glory is shaping up to be a failure, it seems.

Keela Tyris The Hedgehog: Meanwhile Keela is rising up the ranks and gaining the recognition she deserves. Now she just needs to make more appearances in roleplays!

Strongest Character - 8 Nominations
"Alright, strongest character! Let's do it!"

Raile Draxxon: Oh man it's another dragon. And it looks like he can use magic. That's interesting. +1

Statyx the Hedgehog: I'm on the fence with this one. I'm still against the whole Ultimate Guardian thing and being Shadow's halfbrother, but he's overall a good, well-written character. I'm gonna hold my vote.

Fotiagos Imperium: I dunno about the strongest here. He's pretty powerful, but it's a tough competition. I wanna say "I can take em!" but actually, I'm not entirely sure I can beat him...+1

Graviton the hedgehog: I'mma hold my vote here as well.

Smash The Echidna

"To be honest, I don't think I can win this time. That doesn't mean I won't put up a good fight. I've always have. As far as anyone's concerned, my main weakness is in my lack of ranged attacks. But in hand-to-hand combat, I'm probably the best you'll find in our gang, and quite possibly in Greenflower City. My strengths aren't all in my physical prowress, either. I'm a strategist; Even against people far stronger than me, I can still win if I can find their weakness and exploit it. And if all else fails, High Tension is a handy last resort."

Freeze A. Aerion: oh man...My eyes are tired. These are like, entire pages worth of information according to Microsoft Word. I don't have the time to read through all of this.

Electric The Hedgehog: Electric, huh? The best thing that describes him for this category is Unskilled, but Strong. He had no training, but he's powerful enough to battle Smash hand-to-hand and come close to winning. Think about how strong he'd be if he were trained as hard as he was? Electric could potentially have ended up being more powerful than Smash himself. But let's look at who we're talking about here, and why he wasn't trained. He's not a fighter; He's a sailor, and a writer. A very passive character.

Darkyle The Hedgehog: Like I said before, I was too vague on this guy. However, take a look at these two videos and you should have a bit of an idea of how powerful this guy is. Darkyle's Battle, (comes in 3 parts, each linked to each other in the descriptions,) and Gizmo's "Scan Ability" on Darkyle's stats. One of Darkyle's secrets that I'd been hiding from you guys, is the extents to his power. That probably wasn't a very wise choice considering I nominated him for Strongest Character....

Nothing to get excited over.

Best Super Transformation - 4 Nominations
"Hm...There isn't too much to look at this time around."

Earthstorm Terrador: Pretty cool. The drawbacks sort of remind me of the early stages of High Tension. +1

Hyper Statyx: It's been mentioned before, but the lack of any power source for this transformation makes this pretty OP. Being beaten to a pulp is probably one of the worst requirements to rely on alone, as it makes defeating him virtually impossible. Anyone who takes him down is in danger of having him suddenly transform on them. It's one thing if it were a super form, but Hyper? That's even worse. -1

Specter Zyx: The speed is the only thing that's keeping me from giving this a +1. Staying neutral.

Super Smash: Yeah so uh, I don't really care if this wins or loses. I'll be surprised if it does. It's just a regular superform and I nominated it simply for filler. This category was surprisingly lacking this time.

If it wasn't for Super Smash, I'd have successfully evened everything out perfectly.

Smartest Character - 7 Nominations
"Heheh, First I win it, then I host it! This is actually kinda funny."

Neo Tranquil the Fox: Ehh, kinda neutral here. Only thing that really stood out to me is the fact that he apparently made a clawed weapon and a grapple gun, if only because I did the same.

Aurora the Cat: Yes, definitely.

Shimmer the Hedgehog: uh, no. -1

Starlight the Hedgehog: A rather intelligent character. I believe she deserves some credit here. +1

Violet The Hedgehog



Avarice The Hedgehog: This is the man who invented Elemental Rings. He's a former scientist, and lead an entire company based around the production of various different types of Elemental Rings. I think he deserves a mention.

Ethelia The Hedgehog: While she works for the Elemental Rings corporation, she's more or less a freelance inventor in her free time. The main inventions we've seen are her elemental staff and a moderately large mecha. She also played a big role in the creation of a huge weapon...

Best Leader - 5 Nominations
"I'm in this one, and I've got a couple comments to make."

Smash The Echidna




 * "Now, Comparing these two to Smash. Smash actually DOES something. He works to try and resolve the problem in a rational matter. He may not have all the powers that every other hero does, but he's strong in more ways than one. He tries to keep all his friends informed on what's going on, and work together to fix whatever problem is at hand. He puts his friends before himself, and always tries to keep them safe. He will NOT ditch his friends for whatever reason. He will NOT betray his ideals, his friends, justice, any of that, for any good (or bad) reason. He doesn't go rushing head first into things, he thinks matters through. He's mindful of other people's feelings, and won't try to stress them out or depend on them all the time. Because of all of this, He is looked up upon as a leader. Not even just by my own characters, but a few others as well. Now, I'm not just saying this, but it's because of his actions that some RP's situations didn't actually worsen, both in story and ooc. The Battle for the Ultimate Soul Caliber would have been 300x worse if he weren't in it. He was one of the only sane people who kept everything on track, even if just barely. People would have been running amok, killing eachother left and right for NO REASON. (though they already did do that a lot, nobody really died from it.) In Odyssey, though it's not really a big example of saving the story, He was one of the leaders. Even if not officially, He took initiative, and kept everything organized in terms of their plans and movements. And he's done that in countless other roleplays, more than half of them not on this wiki (but explained in his roleplay series). If someone like THIS were to lose to someone who's close to being the opposite to him in traits and a guy who doesn't do anything to help at all and even betrayed his friends for some stupid reason, I think I've lost 40% of my faith in this wiki."



Hiero the Hawk: Pffft, it's like this character was tailor made for this category. Especially his personality section. +1

Río the Alligator: He seems like an okay guy, but we don't have much info on his gang, or how he treats and leads them. Staying neutral.

Rodney the Genet: He cares a lot for his company and is willing to do whatever's necessary, but that doesn't entirely mean that he's competent enough to handle things. He's constantly stressed out and doesn't even realize that he's being scammed by random jerk villains. -1

Nova the Vuerna: As far as I'm concerned, she isn't even a leader yet. =/ No preemptive nominations. -1

Best Side-Kick - 4 Nominations
"I find it interesting how Smash got Best Leader and I get Best Side-kick...And Gizmo got Smartest character. Coincidence?"

Fou the Phoenix: I remember this kid. I guess I could give him a vote up. +1

Burg and Surg the Hedgefoxes: Eh, I'm not sure how I feel about sidekicks sharing their position.

Starlight the Hedgehog: There really isn't much info on her relationship with Nikki. Can't really give her a good vote here. -1

Kitty The Cat Chao: Hey, why's Kitty doing so badly here? Do people think he's not good? Or maybe they think that he deserves more than just being a side-kick?

Either way, we're rooting for you Kitty.

Most Handsome Male - 7 Nominations
"If it were really a perfect match-up, Violet and I would have switched. I just can't tell you how awkward it is for me to tell a guy he's handsome."

Eric Hasu: ...This page doesn't even really meet standards. Regardless, he's an okay looking dude.

Pixel the Horse: Wait, he's a horse? He...doesn't really look like a horse...

Twilight the Lycalo: Heh, this guy kinda amuses me. +1

Erizo the Hedgehog: Speaking of amusing people, Erizo almost makes me burst out laughing every time I see him. It's like he knows he's got fangirls somewhere. +1

Vexx the Hedgehog: It's gonna be hard to top this guy in this category and in Best Picture. +1

Most Beautiful Female - 16 Nominations
"I don't see what the big problem is, Splice. I'm fine."

Palette the Pig: Eh, I'm pretty neutral here.

Bella the Bandicoot: *shrug*

Silk the Jackal: She's rather young to be called "Beautiful", don'tcha think? Regardless, she is rather pretty. +1

Nikki "Nikkell" the Hedgehog: The people who voted down in this section, I feel, are just being biased because they don't like her character. :I Nikki has a good design. +1

Starlight the Hedgehog: Interesting character design, and the artwork is pretty great too. +1

Violet The Hedgehog

"I'm...wow, I-I'm speechless. I never thought..."

Estrella Marina: Thunder would be upset if I didn't give her a +1. Naturally, there's no real reason I wouldn't. +1

Sarah The Echidna: "My mother does deserve a vote or two here. She was pretty, and that smile always made me feel at home."

Aura The Hedgehog: "Well, My mother deserves a vote too; She's still pretty."

Krys the Unicorn: She's okay, I guess.

Emma Calero: I think the first picture on the page there has a certain charm to the artstyle that I find rather cute. +1

Christina "Christie" the Hedgehog: No votes here.

Crymson the Cat: Yeah, you're pretty pretty yourself. =P +1

Lucinda the Angelfox: ....you really need to do something about that first picture up there. It startles me every time I see it. Her saving grace is her gallery of better pictures below. Just take one of them and use it as her main profile pic instead. +1

Aurora the Cat: No fancy, frilly designs here this time. Sometimes simplicity is beautiful in it's own way. +1

Charlotte the Arctic Hare: Cute, as in, like a little kid drew the picture. There's no way that girl is almost 19. I thought she was 6.

Best Joke Character - 6 Nominations
"...somehow I don't feel that I'll be laughing very much here."

AmthorTombrynok the Hedgegod!: The only thing that really stuck out as funny to me was that his weaknesses were 'pending'. Other than that, this actually made me cringe slightly. -1

Anna Lynn: It's one thing that one of her pictures consists of her flipping the bird, but she became a stripper? Don't you think that's rather innappropriate? -1

Princess Kawaii Desu Rainbow Sparkles the Hedgefoxragon: It's amusing how it says no one dislikes her yet she's got a list of enemies. Don't worry, Ryu. I feel for you. +1

Princess Raven Tahira Sparklelicious Mirror the Hedgepanda: This is kinda hilarious, yet pretty well written at the same time. +1

Heidi Rose: interesting. This is the first joke character I've seen who isn't some kind of blatant god sue. Still incorruptibly pure, though. +1

G.C.N-007: Ha..! A sue-killer! I have to give this one. +1

Best Location - 5 Nominations
"...This is it ? We need to get out more..."

1-Up Central: This, unfortunately, doesn't meet standards. =/ -1

Dra Gen Ra: I remember this. I thought it was a group though; I didn't know it qualified as a location.

The Mystic Realm: I'm surprised at how many votes it got. I kinda figured that not many people would care for it unless they've actually been there themselves. It's a pretty epic place. I mean, Have you heard it's theme song?

Kas'wisor: An entire planet was nominated? Interesting. This is pretty well written so +1.

Matai-Mobi: And this one as well, should be given a +1.

Let's go out and explore later.

Best Item - 5 Nominations
"Can't really vote much here because we nominated the majority of them."

Grapple Gun: I guess it is pretty generic, huh...? But hey, every inventor needs to have one of these.

Guard Gauntlets: This is pretty handy too.

Elemental Rings: Elemental Rings are really an intriguing set of items as well.

The Book of Orion Sigmus: Despite all the issues Guy brought with him to this wiki, you have to admit he wrote some pretty good stuff. +1

Synchro Stones: How very interesting. +1

 * shrug* Moving on.

Best Weapon - 5 Nominations
"I dunno about you, but twin daggers are my favorite weapons."

Starsword: Not what I was expecting. I feel a little bit iffy about the whole accuracy enhancement thing, as it feels like it's implying that the sword aims for you. A sword's accuracy reflects that of the one wielding it, not the other way around.

The Hand Cannon: I'll blast anyone who says this isn't cool until they change their vote. >:C (nah just kidding.)

The Gemblade: Kyle will be pleased to see that this is getting a good score.

Z-3 "Judgement" Energy Blade: It talks too much about the hilt of the sword and not enough about the rest of it. I could only guess from the name that it was meant to be a Lightsaber expy until I saw it in the trivia below. If I have to make guesses about what exactly this thing is, I think a little more information is needed. -1

DragonFlare of Hinode: It's rather interesting, but I'mma hold my vote here.

C'mon, now. We can do better than this.

Best Fanfiction - 4 Nominations
"I guess I need to catch up on my reading."

The Story of Zel by Makuta294: Even while skimming over it, the events feel a little rushed. The fact that the chapters are so short you could fit the first 3 of them on one page does not help. I'mma hold my vote though.

History: The Books by Flashfire: Really, I'm quite envious of how much you've accomplished here. I have an entire series to (re)write and I have yet to even finish a single episode. +1

Sonic Hotcakes: Eehhh...meh.

The Fakest Things Alive: yeeah, I don't think so. -1



Total Category Vote Count: 1 for / 1 Against

Then again, there probably isn't much worth reading/TO read these days.

Best Roleplay - 7 Nominations
"Y'know, we really haven't been very involved in the newer generation of Roleplayers here."

Nominations
The Island of Doom: If I were to judge by the overview, I would give this a +1. Very interesting, although it doesn't quite feel like it fits for a Sonic roleplay. I skimmed down below and realized that the entire thing was script format. =/ I don't quite like script format. I'm gonna hold my vote here.

Odyssey: This is such a longrunner. +1

Summer Camp: Meh, this doesn't really look like anything special. -1

The Blitz Pit World Tournament ~2013 /The First Round: All I can say is, I hope we finish it this year.

Numbered Days: It was pretty fun while it lasted, although I feel that certain aspects to it detract from it. Still, being one of the few RP's I've participated in from start to finish--AND enjoyed along the way, I have to give this a +1.

The Worlds Enemy (Revival): I'mma hold my vote, but I hope you guys finish this one day.

The Seven deadly: I only needed to read the overview and the prologue. This looks like it'd be really good. Naturally, because it appears to be hosted by Lycalo. +1



Total Category Vote Count: 3 for / 1 Against

Well at least the roleplaying community isn't totally stagnant these days.

Best Fangame - 7 Nominations
"I tried to split this in two so to keep the written concepts from getting confused with actual games, and vise versa. It doesn't seem to have worked."

Written Games - 4 Nominations
Sonic Battle: Amped Up!: Page looks to be unfinished, but hey, I'd love to play this game. +1

Sonic Fanon Party DS: Ehh, it feels like another one of those games full of long lists. Since it's based off of Mario Party, it kind of feels like leaves out a lot of info assuming you've played the series before. Could be done better. -1

The Chronicles of Sonic the Hedgehog: I Am the Future: I remember this. +1

Sonic Chronicles 2:Secrets galore: The boxart is a mess. The overview feels kinda poorly written, (Once Dr.Eggman took over when the friends return the place is dark and dim. I think we're missing something here.) and the rest feels pretty meh. Sorry but no. -1

Games in the Making - 3 Nominations
Splice The Hedgehog (RPG Fangame): "Oh hey! I hope you guys like my game!" "We took a break during the later half of the summer to celebrate Frost's birthday but hey, we're getting there. We've had more progress this summer than we've had in a while."

Sonic Unity: Umm...This isn't a game in the works. 2012 release? We're half-past 2013! If it was really being published by Sega, we'd have heard about it by now. In short, this doesn't belong in this section. -1

Sonic Heroes 2: Metal's Return: So you took out Team Chaotix, huh? hm. Well, anyway, I need some dead-set proof that you're actually working on this game. Otherwise, this doesn't belong in this section either. At the very least the box-art looks cool. -1

Because apparently the difference between a written concept and an actual fangame is too little to matter which category you put them in.
