User blog:PinkiepiePartyMonst/Weapons, What is acceptable and what just isn't

Okay, I think a few people need a little help one this subject so I am going to start.

Hammers
First of all, this is Amys weapon so it honestly is not completely original to use right there. But a lot of characters have a hammer for the reason they are female, or they are a hedgehog; most of the time both. The prime reason for this?: Recolors. They do this because they want a female hedgehog character and Amy is by far the only one to use. So they recolor that and just recolor her Hammer too just because she has it alot! If you do in fact, there is one way to simply avoid it. you could:

1.) Not recolor

This makes me sound a little hypocritical since I recolored at one point at well. But honestly I am not going to go into why recoloring is not always your best option. I am not saying you shouldnt recolor and I am not saying you should. I am very edgy on the matter and see no reason to go in further about it.

2.) Don't use a picture with her hammer

Using a picture of Amy without her hammer is not that hard. Honestly half the time in games and Sonic X, she doesn't even have her hammer. Therefore, why use one with her hammer? It sucks originality right from your characters, if there was any to begin with!

Now, using a hammer can have its exceptions. If your character is one you want to have use heavy set weapons, a war-hammer might do, but a Piko-Piko hammer would most definetely NOT. I would know personally that Piko Piko Hammers way very little. So, the exscuse that your character uses heavy set weapons would not be valid as to why they carry a Piko-Piko hammer around with them. Please, keep your characters even the slightest bit original.

Swords
Not to much wrong with swords, you can use them, I have no right to say you shouldn't. But if they can TALK and BOUNCE AROUND,  I dont find that acceptable. My main problem  with swords is the fact that they are overused. Theres not to much to say, I use swords. But for some reason I just feel like there is so much more you could do other than that. I personally find it more appropriate to use a piko-piko hammer than I do to use a sword. Something about it bugs me, just because there are millions of weapons, and out of all of those, they choose swords. I guess it just bugs me because of the possibilities.

Guns
Just, guns do not belong in Sonic. I know that Shadow The Hedgehog has guns, but the reason Shadow the Hedgehog wasnt that good was because it had guns. Imagine a Hedgehog shooting aliens with a gun and you will understand what I mean. Anything that shoots something is not something I think should be used. Now a magical laser shooting staff can be cool, and doesnt fall under guns, but I think this section should be "Long range weapons" or "Weapons that require no effort". A Bow And Arrow is a long range weapon, but it requires effort. Meanwhile a gun and magic laser staff requires little to no effort; same with a gun. I just think it shouldn't be that easy. Piko-Piko hammers, although light, at least require a little effort with landing a hit. You dont see Amy Rose landing a hit every time (Especially in the Archie Comics).

Boxing Gloves
When I say boxing gloves, I do in fact refer to Knuckles weapon. Using a boxing glove with spikes on it is a cheap rip-off of Knuckles. I mean, Knuckles doesnt just buy pointed boxing gloves, there is a reason they are pointed; because Knuckle has hands like that. But some boxing gloves that are normal, without spikes, could make a good weapon, but not really effecient.

Wooden Weapons
A wooden weapon. It really isn't going to do your character much good in the end. If your character had to go face to face with another character in a roleplay, and they pull out a big wooden stick to fight, while the other pulls out a metal sword that is lethal, who has the more likely chance of winning? And if the wooden stick wielding character did win, that might be considered Gmodding. You just should not use Wooden weapons while others use Iron weapons, or other metal based weapons.

Enchanted Swords Etc.
I cant say too much about this. They require one hit and then a "Spell" or something that spreads a disease on the other character and it just ends up beating, or even killing, that character. It can be annoying when you get in a fight with another character and you just take one blow to the leg; that one blow poisons you and almost killed you. It has honestly happened to me several times. It is bothering.

Thats about it, so I hope I dont see a over-usage of these weapons anymore. But thats about all I have to say.
