User blog:Smash The Echidna/SFW Spring Awards 2013 ~Smash's Votes ==FINAL ROUND==

Hey there, everybody! It's been almost an entire year, but the awards are back. This time with a twist: Sonicfan919 is NOT the host this year! That's right, in his long absence, a new user decided to take up this season's awards.

So let's get right down to it, shall we? I don't think we need another introduction. I rather enjoyed how I did it last time, so let's bring back our reviewers! This time, there are two more to join us!



Violet, Pearl, Smash, Splice and Gizmo

There aren't as many categories this time around, but some of them are really packed. And now, without further ado, let's begin the voting!



Best Hero - 12 Nominations
"Well don't this just beat all. The last two times we had 6 nominations. Now we have 12."

Nikki "Nikkell" the Hedgehog: Well, let's see here. She's got a huge page with a lot of information and great artwork all around. Those are worthy of a plus. But uh, she's been through a lot. And I mean, a lot. To be honest she's a little TOO involved with the main cast. Heck, when I first saw this character it was blatantly obvious to me that she would be in love with Sonic (or Shadow). But I never would have guessed that she'd not just been a part of the Sonic storybook series or the Mario&Sonic Olympics, or even Sonic X or the Sonic OVA, but Wreck-It Ralph 2? Thaaat's a bit of a stretch to me. That aside, I'm not really sure about the heroics part, so I'mma leave her alone.

Louis Robinson: Okay so there's like 3 truckloads worth of information on this page. Apparently the guy (who looks pretty feminine actually) has three families, including being Eggman's stepson, and being a prince...and Princess Peach proposed to him when the kid is like 13 years old, and he's Silver's rival and he's apparently part Angel and....@_@....I...have no idea what is going on with this guy.

Splice The Hedgehog: Whew, You're a sight for tired eyes. Anyway, Splice, you have come a long way. But you still have a loooong way to go. Your game is nowhere near complete, so nobody knows all of your story or some of the great heroic acts you've pulled (such as leaping at least 10 feet from the docks to a leaving ship to rescue someone). At the very least, when you get your revamped moveset, you'll gain a little more personal shine. Good luck out there!

Savannah the Hedgehog: Nice pictures. The information is described in a bit of an unprofessional, and maybe even childish manner. While I found that to be rather amusing, I couldn't help but groan at her crush on both Sonic AND Shadow. There are so many other male hedgehogs out there, so many who are probably very lonely with all the local girls fawning over those two Casanovas. Back on topic, I don't really see anything very heroic about her.

Static the Cat: Hey I know you. You were in Nightmare in Station Square, right? Yeah. I must say that is a really..um..."sharp" outfit. Yeah. Anyway, holy crap that is a lot of info on his combat capabilities alone. Regardless, I've seen him in action, and I think he's alright. +1

Cassidy the Hedgehog: Oh, after the last two girls were potential love interests for Sonic, this one's his half-sister. :I Anyway, This article's kind of a stub... -1

Jadelk "Jad" The Wolverine: Interesting character, but nowhere have I seen anything heroic on his page. He seems to be a pretty okay guy though.

Honoo "Flame" The Pyrofox: Like Jad, this guy seems pretty okay. He feels much more hero material than Jad, though, so I'll give him a +1.

Kenas the demon: Hmm..he has an interesting backstory, though I had some trouble understanding most of it. He's okayish I guess.

Cold the Hedgehog: I haven't RP'd with him in a long time, but I can tell that he hasn't changed much. -1

Crymson the Cat: Some things in her bio were pretty rushed and made me go "Wait what?", and seemed thrown in at random. But other than that, she seems to be a fairly good character and decent protagonist. +1

Dimitri Prinus The Echidna: Goodness, another extremely long page. Sheesh, these guys mean business. That aside, Dimitri does seem to have a great bit of potential for winning this category. +1



Total Category Vote Count: 4 for / 1 Against

Wow. I'm actually impressed.

Best Anti-Hero - 5 Nominations
"Okay, this is a decent amount here."

Razorveil the Ichneumon: Not bad, though the "Hero" part of the Anti-Hero in him isn't very apparent. He seems more like he's standing on the thin line between an Anti-Hero and an Ant-Villain. Right on the part where Chaotic Neutral crosses through. +1

Zyx the Hedgehog: I dunno. I'm kinda put off by the comparisons to the canon characters, and especially with the implications that "All Hedgehogs have Super Speed". :I

Zorovar "Twilight" Hallstrom: Another Vampire? What's going on with the Sonic Fanon, why are there vampires always at large?

Neil Clements: Seems okayish, but not very Anti-Heroic.

Aeon the Hedgehog: Okay, this guy seems to fit the bill. +1



Total Category Vote Count: 2 for / 0 Against

That was okayish I guess.

Best Villain - 6 Nominations
"I won't be doing much voting in this area."

Ernest Knackburn: I don't know, this seems like a little much. -1

Gladius The Hedgehog: And here is practically every single villain I've had in a row. Starting off with Gladius. I'm reluctant to talk much about him due to revealing major spoilers of SpTH. Still, I feel that he's one of my better villains.

Avarice The Hedgehog: The same goes for Avarice. I might actually like him better than Gladius.

Ethelia The Hedgehog: Ethelia might actually be more of an Anti-Villain, but it's pretty dubious.

Darkyle The Hedgehog: Darkyle's had it rough in the development department. I think I've managed to perfect him, but that dollmaker pic just doesn't do him justice. Hopefully the commission I made for him will be done soon.

Rikai The Hedgehog: And the last one is from someone else. He seemed to be a good antagonist, and was knee-deep in an actual plot. I think he deserves a vote. +1



Total Category Vote Count: 1 for / 1 Against

That was to be expected. 4 out of 6 were mine. I had to submit all those guys so that there would be enough to have a proper contest.

Best Male - 12 Nominations
"12 again?"

Erizo the Hedgehog: "Has not yet achieved anything." Uhh-huh. I'mma hold my vote on this guy.

Twilight the Lycalo: Oh hey I know you. You're an okay guy. +1

Thunder The Hedgehog: Development-wise, Thunder has had some pretty poor luck himself. Up until a few days ago, he was stuck with a dollmaker pic that didn't even look like him anymore. I'm considering removing that life-vest outfit altogether.

Speeder The Hedgehog: There was a little bit of confusion between him and his son earlier, on which one of them was really nominated for this category. But that aside, I'm greatly disappointed that Roy never got around to finishing his page. I'd really hate to have to do it for him, but he keeps putting it off...Regardless, Speeder is an awesome character who deserves a bit of spotlight. You really have to know him to appreciate him as much as I do, which serves to be a pretty big problem here considering the state his page is in. His only hope now is either a saving edit from Roy or gain votes from the appreciation of his hat and 'stache. +1

Static the Cat: I'mma hold my vote on this guy. I gave him a +1 in the hero department already.

Zorovar "Twilight" Hallstrom: Eh..

Shawn the Echidna: Oh gosh, that picture is alarmingly creepy. Anyway, there's barely anything on this page aside from a couple lists, an introduction and an infobox. -1

James the Cat: Eh, same as above. -1

Jadelk "Jad" The Wolverine: I think this guy fits here better. +1

Honoo "Flame" The Pyrofox: I think I'll hold my vote.

Kenas the demon: Staying neutral.

Cold the Hedgehog: No. -1



Total Category Vote Count: 4 for / 2 Against

Could have been worse.

Best Female - 12 Nominations
"Gosh there's an equal amount."

Nikki "Nikkell" the Hedgehog: I'mma hold my vote.

Crymson the Cat: As far as I've seen, Crymson's a fairly good character. +1

Lucinda the Angelfox: She's okay, but I'mma hold my vote.

Michelle the Cat: Interesting, but neutral again.

Violet The Hedgehog: Violet was one of my earliest characters, being the second female I've ever come up with. She really hasn't changed all that much, and perhaps that's for the better. I like her just the way she is.

Sandy The Echidna: Sandy's been really neglected as a character, but hopefully her comeback in my series revamp should fix that. She's actually a really cute kid, I think. I don't think I can vote for her, despite her actually being created by my friend. We share the character, somewhat, though I've more or less adopted her fully as of late. (a bit of irony there, ho ho.)

Savannah the Hedgehog: She's not entirely bad, but overall she has some room for improvements.

Valencia the Vampire Werefox: So she's a vampire AND a Werefox? I can fully understand her sentiments. Merging two cliche's into one person has gotta be hard on them; I don't blame her for wanting to be normal. +1

Cassidy the Hedgehog: Yeeaah no. -1

Jen the Hedgehog: That history didn't make much sense. *_* At least the picture isn't jarring. -1

Sabrina the Hedgehog: Why are there so many of these people...It all feels like the same thing, but slightly different. -1

Debby the Rabbit: =I -1



Total Category Vote Count: 2 for / 4 Against

2 out of 12. I was going to be lenient, but then I said no and handed down some penalties.

Best New Character - 5 Nominations
"And then we're back to 5. Hm..."

Remnant Chang: Ehh..at one point he seems like the type of character you'd love to hate, but then it starts talking all good about him, giving me mixed feelings about him. Then all of a sudden there's the heavy implications that he's seeing visions of ''Smash. " What and Why? "''

Nyx the Wolf: Okay, we have an Anti-Villain of sorts over here. That's actually pretty rare around these parts. +1

Wendy Calero: I don't even...

Bolt the Ferret: I dunno. Kinda lacks in information, but he's not all that bad.

Cerys the Caraval: DANG that sprite is blindingly pink. Anyway, she seems alright, but vampires Again? They're even more frequent around here than I originally thought. Regardless, I'll give her a vote. +1



Total Category Vote Count: 2 for / 0 Against

2 again, but this time it's much more of a good thing.

Best Super Form - 3 Nominations
"And I half expected this to be full of overpowered sue's."

Super Turbo: Okay, that is legitimately terrifying. But even for a super form, he seems just a little bit OP.

Ultra Smash: I can't vote for my own form, but I really do think that Ultra Smash is cool. It's a very rare occurance, only ever appearing once canonically.

Flaring Flame: Interesting. This is a lot more unique than the standard super forms. +1



Total Category Vote Count: 1 for / 0 Against

Not bad, not bad.

Best Fursona - 4 Nominations
"Eehh...No thanks."

Best Fan Game - 9 Nominations
"Holy crap why are there so many?"

Sonic Dimensions: You see the thing about these fangames here is that they confuse the heck outta me. It talks like it's real, but other than impressive looking screenshots and detailed information, there's no real proof that it really exists. Normally I'd shrug it off as the results of someone's vast imagination, but this looks pretty convincing to some. Anyway, it's interesting enough and if it were a real fangame, I'm sure it'd be enjoyable. +1

Sonic Underground: The Game: Meh, I don't care for Sonic Underground.

Ashura dark reign: The page is real messy at the top, and there isn't too much else to look at other than the plot and long list of characters. :I -1

Sonic and the Twilight Ghost: Storybook, eh? Interesting, but there's not enough info to really get me into it.

Capcom vs. Sonic the Hedgehog: Ah, this guy makes really detailed game ideas. This one is no exception. +1

Sonic Adventure 3: GX: And again, though I'mma hold my vote here.

Sonic Shockwave Riders: Holding my vote, if only because I'm not too big of a fan of the Sonic Riders series.

The Chronicles of Sonic the Hedgehog: I Am the Future: This one I'll vote for. +1

Sonic & Hatsune Miku: Waitwaitwaitwait, what? Did I read that correctly? Sonic &  Hatsune Miku ? Uhhhhh....'_' This is so..random...And there are videos and everything...I'm not really sure what to say. I'm speechless.



Total Category Vote Count: 3 for / 1 Against

Well that was something.

Best Location - 4 Nominations
"I don't really have a comment here."

Devil Island: Okay, that's legitimately creepy and all, but I'm surprised at how much of a stub this article is.

Neptunian Utopia: Looks nice, but is also kinda stubby.

Greenflower City: Considering that Greenflower City originally was not mine, I theoretically should be able to vote. But since I added so much of my own content to it, I won't.

Greenflower Zone: Unfortunately this is also a stub. I struggled to think of what else to add here, but couldn't come up with anything.



Total Category Vote Count: 0 for / 0 Against

Completely neutral.

Best Roleplay - 5 Nominations
"Meh...There haven't been many RP's that struck me as really good lately."

Roleplay:The Worlds Enemy (Revival) & Roleplay:The Worlds Enemy: It seemed interesting, but I couldn't really keep up with the plot.

Roleplay:The 12 Days of Christmas: I'm not a Christmas fan.

Roleplay:Nightmare in Station Square: It was pretty fun while it lasted. +1

Roleplay:Into the Future: *shrugs*

Roleplay:The Neo Stellar Royale!! & The Neo Stellar Royale!!/Round 1: Despite the fact that my only battle had at least two edits every month&a half, I had high hopes for this RP. It's such a shame that it ended the way it did. +1



Total Category Vote Count: 2 for / 0 Against

I didn't bother to look at anything else other than what I had already been in.

Best Picture - 14 Nominations
"Okay, let's take a look at SFW's gallery. =3"
 * Nikki.png pretty cool. +1
 * Kenas Pose 5.png don't really get the thing on the left, but it's nicely drawn. +1
 * Jessie Garnet.png picture pretty much describes Jessie's personality entirely. +1
 * Fanart -11.jpg Sweet. +1
 * Tumblr ls5sanvkOh1qzfn59.jpgareafff +1
 * Nosiop the Snake.jpg That's a bit disturbing.
 * Princess Emma.jpg bad.

 * Father and Son.png*squints*....
 * Young D.png a shirt on, man.
 * Necross the Exiled.png really sure how to look at this thing...oh wait that's his face over there. This is an awkward picture.
 * Memph..png+1 Like a man.



Total Category Vote Count: 6 for / 0 Against

Well it's not like there was anything particularly bad here.

Best Sidekick - 3 Nominations
"Down to the bare minimum, now."

Starlight the Hedgehog: Wait, she used to control ''all the galaxies? HUH?'' okayy....Other than that, it doesn't talk too much about her side-kick relationship with...whoever's sidekick she is.

Speedy The Hedgehog: Fun Fact: Even way back years ago when Team Speedy used to exist, Speedy was STILL like a side-kick to Smash despite being the leader of the team. +1

Kitty The Cat Chao: If Kitty weren't my own, I would totally vote for him.



Total Category Vote Count: 1 for / 0 Against

Not too bad I guess.

Smartest Character - 8 Nominations
"Gizmo's graduated from this category already. =P"

Starlight the Hedgehog: Hmmmmm....I'm on the fence with this one.

Tyler the Echidna: Try coming back when you actually have some info on that. -1

Avarice The Hedgehog: He's a lot smarter than you might think. We're looking at the inventor of the Elemental Rings here.

Robin Owsparr: Very detailed and quite intelligent. A proper candidate for this category.+1

Honoo "Flame" The Pyrofox: Hmm...Smart, but probably not the smartest.

Cassidy the Hedgehog: Uh no. -1

Shelly the Fox: This is the stubbiest article yet.

Cold the Hedgehog: What. -1



Total Category Vote Count: 1 for / 2 Against

I was expecting better, really.

Most Beautiful Female - 12 Nominations
"Heads up, everyone! It's time for Mobius' Top Model!"

Nikki "Nikkell" the Hedgehog: I can't deny that she's pretty. +1

Christina "Christie" the Hedgehog: Kinda cute, though her eyes on some of the pictures look kinda off.

Pearl The Echidna: As pretty as Pearl is, she's my character, so...

Clara The Hedgehog:...yeah. Can't vote

Sarah The Echidna: for either of these three. Sadly.

Estrella Marina: Definitely. +1

Luna The Hedgehog: For a moment I was thinking this was Smash's wife. Anyway, I'm not too into the gothic style.

Jen the Hedgehog: She's okay.

Hannah the Fox: Oh my god what? -1

Cerys the Caraval: Sure. +1

Alexis "Marmalade" Heartswell: My, what big eyes you have.

Emma Calero: Yeah, kinda. +1



Total Category Vote Count: 4 for / 1 Against

I never would have thought I'd actually vote someone down here.

Most Handsome Male - 4 Nominations
"And here's the less popular Male edition."

Erizo the Hedgehog: I always laugh whenever I see him because of how much he looks like such a ladies man. +1

Static the Cat: You're okay, but a little brightly colored.

Marik the Cheetah: Awesome, a rock star! +1

Kenas the demon: Pretty good. +1



Total Category Vote Count: 3 for / 0 Against

Narrowly avoided voting the entire thing up.

Strongest Character - 11 Nominations
"Ooooh...Just missed 12. Still this is a lot. Let's see what horribad nominations made it to here."

Tharros the Griffin: Wow, this guy's interesting and legitimately powerful. +1

Alcagorn the Black: Holy crap it's a freaking dragon. +1

Terrador Custos Bellator: Oh trust me, I know this guy's powerful. He went head to head with Smash, and though he didn't win, he sure as heck got close. +1

David The Echidna: David is probably the strongest, non-super powered character I ever had. He managed to stand up against at least 24 fighters all at once. He didn't win the battle, but dang.

Pearl The Echidna: Pearl was going to be that as well, but Smash helped her to achieve High Tension.

Cassidy the Hedgehog: Abilities: Super Speed, Super Strength, Teleportation. Yeah, no. -1

Nina the Hedgehog: Abilities: Super Speed. Not even bothering with super strength now, despite being a strongest character nomination? -1

Jadelk "Jad" The Wolverine: You're a strong young lad, aren't ya? +1

Frederick the Rabbit: >:C -1

Cold the Hedgehog: No. -1

Crymson the Cat: Yes. +1



Total Category Vote Count: 5 for / 4 Against

Interestingly enough, the only ones I didn't vote for/against were my own characters.

Best Couple - 5 Nominations
"This isn't as packed as it usually is. Still, I'm probably gonna skip this."

Crymatic

Twiluce

Smash and Luna: I...THINK...I may be able to vote for this. Luna is not my character, and the reason they're even a couple in the first place is because of Snow Goddess being such a romantic. =P +1

Starizo

SaiArk



Total Category Vote Count: 1 for / 0 Against

Yeah.

Best Friendship - 2 Nominations
"Umm...yeah, I'm gonna skip this."

Sonic and Tails

Smash and Speedy

There was only two, and one of them was a canon nomination--that appeared at least every other time this category was used.

Best Group - 4 Nominations
"This is it. The last category."

The Hopstick Clan: Bleh, I'll leave this alone. :I

Princeton Clan: The heck is this about? -1

Eleos Clan: Oh right, this is where Nyx is from, right? Okay. +1

I eagerly await the final round. Until then, folks. See you later!
