2012:
Featured User results began to be recorded in 2012, even though archives show that Featured User interviews were being done as early as 2010, adopted from Sonic News Network. Gamedezyner is the first user to have been recorded in the wiki's archives and the only one known to have won that year (2012). There were no other winners until January 2013.

Skyblade743

File:Skybladeinfo.png

Skyblade743 has been a Featured User in the past. He's a "cheery guy" as he describes himself with a strong passion for science fiction material and video games. I admit that having interviewed him two years ago, he seems more mature and his thought sophisticated. Outside of the scope of this wiki, Skyblade743 is definitely the person one could have a conversation with for hours on whole sorts of things and not get tired of him because he has his own views and opinions that are authentic.

Q1: How did you spend your Christmas vacations?

A: I met up with some old friends I haven't seen in a long time, and some of my family members who live further away came to visit on Christmas Eve. I'm actually still on Christmas vacation, but this week is just revising for school tests at the start of the year, so calling it a vacation is pushing it a little.

Q2: Your best memory of the past decade.

A: ) That's a whole lot of ground to cover, and it's hard to pin down one memory. That said, I would either say the London 2012 Olympics (I was 10 years old at the time and had family members living around London, so naturally I was very excited for the whole thing. I got to go to the Olympic stadium to see the Paralympics, which was fantastic to watch) or the family holiday to Sorrento in Italy a few years back (Beautiful weather, beautiful town, not a whole lot of tourists and Pompeii. What else do you want from a holiday?)

Q3: Has there ever been any event or person that changed the way you think or see things in life and if yes which was it?

A: As a person with Aspergers, when I was a kid I was surrounded by teaching assistants who were there to "improve my learning" when all they did was stifle my ability and treat me as a problem waiting to happen. My parents recently told me that they didn't believe I'd pass secondary school, which I did 2 years ago. What they taught me is that I'm the only person who can define me: no label or other person can make me who I am. A rather ironic lesson to have learnt.

Q4: Which person’s death in 2019 saddened you the most and why?

A: Off the top of my head I'm trying to remember who died in 2019. I'm almost certainly missing someone incredibly important.

Q5: As a fellow Smash brother, who do you consider the best and the worst characters in the game and who is your favourite character and stage? Also, do you play online? Which game that you remember was the most exhilarating and what is your most proud moment of Smash Ultimate?

A: In terms of best and worse, I really stopped caring about who was good and bad and just decided to have fun with the game. My favourite character to play is Lucas, who I picked up in Smash 4 and felt considerably more fun to control than in Brawl (I also love the buff PK Freeze got in Ultimate, it's so good now), but I've been having a lot of fun with Joker recently. Favourite stage would probably be Momentos: the stage layout is unique, the hazards are relevant but not super intrusive like some stages, and the music is some of my favourite of the new tracks in Ultimate. I don't play online because I cannot be asked to buy Switch Online and I hear the netcode is awful, but maybe I'll try it one day. As for memories, I actually managed to land the spike on Luigi's down taunt, which is absolutely a moment for celebration.

Q6: What do you like about the word “defenestration”? Is there any other English word that you are especially fond of or any word that is specific for British English?

A: Defenestration just rolls of the tongue really well. It also means "to throw out of a window", which is such a specific thing to have a word, yet English has decided to cover all bases. Although it's technically not an English word (I think it's from Scandinavia?), smorgasbord is also a fantastic word, in both language and what it conveys: it implies a board of "smorgas", but seeing smorgas isn't a thing it's just a board of stuff, which is almost exactly what the word means.

Q7: What is your zodiac? Do you believe in astrology and, for example, that each zodiac is associated with specific characteristics?

A: : My Zodiac is Aquarius, the water bearer. I don't believe in astrology, although I do find The Onion's horoscope very entertaining.

Q8: Which is the greatest challenge humanity will face in the coming decade according to you?

A: Coming together. Political divisions are so clear in so many parts of the world: Trump in America, Brexit here in Britain, Chinese intervention in Hong Kong. It's gotten to the point where we've forgotten that these are opinions and we can't put them aside just to talk to each other. If we don't come together soon, then we can't focus on the important things: like the looming climate catastrophe that is going to be a lot more real once we get to 2030.

Q9: Last time we had you featured you told us you ‘re thinking of becoming a videogame programmer. Fast-forward 2 years today are you still considering in working in the videogame industry or have you had a change of plans? Have you thought of pursuing a career abroad?

A: : I've been coding a project on Unity as part of my coursework for my A Levels. Despite what a few of my friends here may think after my recent venting on one of the Discord servers, I am very much enjoying it and it's been one of the best parts of my A Levels. A career in programming is still a high possibility.

Q10: What are your goals for 2020?

A: Pass my A Levels with flying colours, get an apprenticeship, survive Brexit, and finish up anything I have to do here on the Wiki before I move on.

-|1=Q1:  How are you doing these days? What are your plans for the holidays?
+|1=Q1:  How did you spend your Christmas vacations?
+A:  I met up with some old friends I haven't seen in a long time, and some of my family members who live further away came to visit on Christmas Eve. I'm actually still on Christmas vacation, but this week is just revising for school tests at the start of the year, so calling it a vacation is pushing it a little.
-A:  I’m doing good. Finally finished with my studies so now I have plenty of time for recreation and self-development. My plans for the holidays? Nothing in particular. I don’t celebrate them. I plan to read a few books I’ve always wanted but never had the time, like David Irving’s ''Hitler’s War'' and Manly P. Hall’s ''The Secret Teachings of All Ages'', as well as continue reading Plato’s ''Republic''. I need to get back to writing my [https://greatestgreeks.wordpress.com/ blog], finish playing ''Death Stranding'' and pick up ''[[Sonic Freedom]]'' from where I last left it.
+Q2: Your best memory of the past decade.
-Q2: In your eyes, what makes a good Sonic fan character?
+A: ) That's a whole lot of ground to cover, and it's hard to pin down one memory. That said, I would either say the London 2012 Olympics (I was 10 years old at the time and had family members living around London, so naturally I was very excited for the whole thing. I got to go to the Olympic stadium to see the Paralympics, which was fantastic to watch) or the family holiday to Sorrento in Italy a few years back (Beautiful weather, beautiful town, not a whole lot of tourists and Pompeii. What else do you want from a holiday?)
-A: Their ideology, their principles and their creed. Second their personality and third their backstory. The least important for me is their appearance.
+Q3:  Has there ever been any event or person that changed the way you think or see things in life and if yes which was it?
-Q3:  Biggest inspiration currently (outside and inside the wiki)?
+A:    As a person with Aspergers, when I was a kid I was surrounded by teaching assistants who were there to "improve my learning" when all they did was stifle my ability and treat me as a problem waiting to happen. My parents recently told me that they didn't believe I'd pass secondary school, which I did 2 years ago. What they taught me is that I'm the only person who can define me: no label or other person can make me who I am. A rather ironic lesson to have learnt.
-A:    My biggest inspiration has always been Hellenism, all the principles that arise from it and all the people who, throughout history have struggled for its prevalence and its dissemination to humanity. I believe that a man without principles for which he is willing to struggle and make sacrifices is a man of no consequence whatsoever. As for inside the wiki I would say is [[User:Darkchaos2795|Darkchaos2795's]] [[Blue Blur]]. It is perhaps the work that has captivated me the most in the wiki.
+Q4: Which person’s death in 2019 saddened you the most and why?
-Q4: What do you suggest we do to improve activity in the Sonic Fanon Wiki?
+A:  Off the top of my head I'm trying to remember who died in 2019. I'm almost certainly missing someone incredibly important.
-A:  There’s not much I can think of doing to improve this place. From my part, this has largely to do with the fact that the Sonic franchise has been dwindling , with games coming out much less frequently than before and being of poorer quality, in addition to having changed their target audience to children while in actuality most people here in SFW are adults. I think if SEGA releases a good Sonic product in the future, be it game, cartoon or comic, we can expect to see more people coming to SFW.
+Q5: As a fellow Smash brother, who do you consider the best and the worst characters in the game and who is your favourite character and stage? Also, do you play online? Which game that you remember was the most exhilarating and what is your most proud moment of Smash Ultimate?
-Q5: What are your thoughts on the new Sonic movie design? Do you think that complying with the public backlash is a good thing or a dangerous thing for the industry?
+A:  In terms of best and worse, I really stopped caring about who was good and bad and just decided to have fun with the game. My favourite character to play is Lucas, who I picked up in Smash 4 and felt considerably more fun to control than in Brawl (I also love the buff PK Freeze got in Ultimate, it's so good now), but I've been having a lot of fun with Joker recently. Favourite stage would probably be Momentos: the stage layout is unique, the hazards are relevant but not super intrusive like some stages, and the music is some of my favourite of the new tracks in Ultimate. I don't play online because I cannot be asked to buy Switch Online and I hear the netcode is awful, but maybe I'll try it one day. As for memories, I actually managed to land the spike on Luigi's down taunt, which is absolutely a moment for celebration.
-A:  I have to admit, it looks much better than the original they gave us before. Still, however, that does not change my overall impression of the film. While I do think it is in general good to comply to public demand, the fact that it cost the industry more than 5 million dollars to rectify their mistakes proves that this can be something more than dangerous.
+Q6:  What do you like about the word “defenestration”? Is there any other English word that you are especially fond of or any word that is specific for British English?
-Q6:  Tell me about something that happened to you that is the closest thing to being supernatural.
+A: Defenestration just rolls of the tongue really well. It also means "to throw out of a window", which is such a specific thing to have a word, yet English has decided to cover all bases. Although it's technically not an English word (I think it's from Scandinavia?), smorgasbord is also a fantastic word, in both language and what it conveys: it implies a board of "smorgas", but seeing smorgas isn't a thing it's just a board of stuff, which is almost exactly what the word means.
-A:  I’ve had the privilege to witness and experience a lot of things that for many people would be perceived as supernatural. Here I will restrict myself to only one example. I’ve witnessed men treated of diseases like trigeminal neuralgia, multiple sclerosis and leukaemia, children treated of autism with such extraordinary results that would have modern day physicians pulling their hair off in denial and utter disbelief.
+Q7:  What is your zodiac? Do you believe in astrology and, for example, that each zodiac is associated with specific characteristics?
-Q7:  What is the best thing that happened to you recently?
+A:  :  My Zodiac is Aquarius, the water bearer. I don't believe in astrology, although I do find The Onion's horoscope very entertaining.
-A:  :  Graduating from medical school.
+Q8: Which is the greatest challenge humanity will face in the coming decade according to you?
-Q8: On the philosophical side, do you believe in subjective truths, or do you think there are some things
-that are absolutely true?
+A: Coming together. Political divisions are so clear in so many parts of the world: Trump in America, Brexit here in Britain, Chinese intervention in Hong Kong. It's gotten to the point where we've forgotten that these are opinions and we can't put them aside just to talk to each other. If we don't come together soon, then we can't focus on the important things: like the looming climate catastrophe that is going to be a lot more real once we get to 2030.
-A:  I believe in only one truth and that truth can set you free. I also believe that truth, once documented and proven can make one become dangerous. I do not believe in many different truths and I do not believe that truth is subjective. Some truths are absolute and some truths are to never be handed out to the profane because truth is not always comprehensible by the many.
+Q9: Last time we had you featured you told us you ‘re thinking of becoming a videogame programmer. Fast-forward 2 years today are you still considering in working in the videogame industry or have you had a change of plans? Have you thought of pursuing a career abroad?
-Q9: What is the number one thing you think Sonic Team should do to make better Sonic games?
+A: : I've been coding a project on Unity as part of my coursework for my A Levels. Despite what a few of my friends here may think after my recent venting on one of the Discord servers, I am very much enjoying it and it's been one of the best parts of my A Levels. A career in programming is still a high possibility.
-A: : Fire the entire staff that has been working on Sonic games since 2010, starting with the writers. Hire new minds that are eager to offer something fresh, something new to the Sonic franchise.
+Q10: What are your goals for 2020?
-Q10: Which Sonic game would you like the most to be remade and why?
+A: Pass my A Levels with flying colours, get an apprenticeship, survive Brexit, and finish up anything I have to do here on the Wiki before I move on.
-A: Although ''Sonic Heroes'' remains my favourite Sonic game to date, I would give this distinction to ''Sonic Adventure''. With the new technology that we have today, I believe ''Sonic Adventure'' can achieve its full potential as an open-world action game with exhilarating stages, a revamped Chao Garden and a final battle against Perfect Chaos reminiscent to fighting the Leviathan in ''Final Fantasy XV''. Maybe they could remake both ''Sonic Adventure 1'' and 2 and launch them as a single game.
