Okay, let me explain.

1: What do you mean I'm wrong about not having the symbol on an echidna's chest? Be more descriptive.

2: You do have a point there, but the suing thing was a joke. Hence the strike lined text. But I know you know what I meant there, which was coming up with your own ideas to make a fancharacter rather than cloning an already existing character and calling it yours. No company would actually go and sue unless they were outrightly plagiarizing their stuff and/or making money off of it.

3: The thing is, It's not that they're untouchable gods. It's that people make characters of the same species and pretty much take their power and make the original characters obsolete. It's fine if the character is a different species and has super speed/strength/flight or whatever, but when it's the same species, it really makes them seem like a mary/marty stu and overpowered. It's worse with Sonic, however, since he is literally the "Fastest Thing Alive". It pretty much ruins it when another hedgehog comes and takes that title. And with the Ultimate Life Forms, There are so many fancharacters copying Shadow that you can't even tell who, or WHAT the Ultimate Life Form even is anymore. That's why I'm against that.

As for Smash, I have never outrightly stated that he is more powerful than any of those three. Nor have I compared him to either of those three. So it's difficult to say. Of course he is powerful, and most definitely my strongest character that I've got, but I never compared him to the others.

Now, before you say anything else, I know good and well that I have made characters that offend some of the things that I've written. However, they have become too important to me to just scrap and start over. The best that I could do was fix them up to where they stand now.
