I mean, she barely messes something up. In Archie comics, there was a time that the stories only revolved around her, leaving Sonic behind.

She had romantic interests with Sonic, Knuckles, Geoffrey, and even Khan. She seldom messes up, is/was the leader of the Original Freedom Fighters, got the spotlight inumerous times in a story that wasn't hers, and is the Mobian princess.

Don't get me wrong or anything, but that's traits of a Mary Sue. Of course, we can't  completely hate her. I would place her in my 'despised' list. Nothing more and nothing less.

That is all. A funny thing about that is that she was supposed to die in Issue 50. That would've been awesome, but Archie failed to grow balls the way Marvel and DC had. (No offence to Sonally fans, or Sally fans in general). False:Sega forced them to change it. I don't doubt it, but it makes little sense. I thought I heard that Archie carried on Sonic comics without Sega's approval. I'm not a big fan of Archie myself. I like some things (Chaos Knux and Enerjak were awesome) but I like Fleetway better. Plus Archie "borrowed" some ideas from Fleetway. Don't get me wrong, I like Archie. I just don't like Sally. Honestly, Mary-Sue is a concept I think should only be decided by the creator. Sue-ness is relative. For example, my character Stormfuse has many sue-ish qualities (not done with his page) but all my characters have messed up lives, so in a way, he's normal.
