Survey

[flyboy_fox]

So... when did you first get into Sonic?	I used to watch AoStH when I was very small, and I played Sonic 2 + 3 at the arcade and hotel lobbies a few times... but I didn't really get 'into' the fandom until about 2 years ago.
What was the very first game you played?	Sonic 3
What was the very first Sonic TV show you watched?	Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog (AoStH)
Who is your favourite male character?	Sonic the Hedgehog himself ^____^ He's awesome.
Who is your least favourite male character?	Eh. Chris, if he counts. From games, probably Shadow.
Who is your favourite female character?	Bunnie or Sally. From games... eh... Amy, I guess.
Who is your least favourite female character?	Rouge.
Do you support any couples? If so, which ones?	Sonic/Tails (Sontails), Bunnie/Antoine (Buntoine), Sally/Knuckles (Knuxally)
Which couples do you dislike/tend to avoid?	Sonic/Shadow (Sonadow), Sonic/Chris (Sonchris), Sonic/Amy (Sonamy), Tails/Cosmo (Taismo)...
Which couples are you neutral on, if there is any?	Shadow/Amy. I think they look good together aesthetically, even if I don't care much for either of them.
How do you think Sonic games are these days? Good or in need of improvement?	I REALLY don't like where the newest PS3/360 game is going... FOUR super-powered hedgies... Sonic is losing his uniqueness fast ;_; Plus, the idea of Sonic/Elise creeps me out, bleh. But I really like the look of Wild Fire/Secret of the Rings, so far ^_^
Should Sega bring in new characters? If yes, why? If no, why not?	No more new characters ;_; Please. The originals (Knux, Tails, etc) could really be focussed on in new games, but they're being pushed aside by all these new characters :\
Do you prefer the 4kids voice actors or the original voice actors?	The originals, definitely. In particular, Amy Palant (Tails' 4Kids VA) really bugs me x.x
Have you ever read any of the Sonic comic series? If so, which ones?	I've read a few Archie, but not much.
What do you think is the worst thing about the Sonic fandom?	Rabid OoCing pairings fans. For example, Sonadow fans who turn Sonic into a cutesy girly little uke hanging from "Shadouuu"'s arm x.o Nooooo!!! Poor Sonic.
Do you think Amy's obsession is a bit overdone? Should she go back to the way she was in SA or stay the way she is currently?	That girl is psycho crazy insane and needs help -.o
If you were a member of Sega helping produce a Sonic game, what would you do to improve the series and why?	Focus more on the old-school original cast, less new characters.
Are you a member of any online communities for Sonic fans?	TTR, SB, UB, and a bunch of LJ communities (sonicstuff, sonic_couples, sonic_rating, sonicslash, knothole, aosth_fans, etc)
Do you write/read Sonic fanfiction?	Occasionally. I should write more.
Do you draw/look at Sonic fan art?	Yes, but I'm a sucky artist :P
Do you make/watch Sonic AMV (anime music videos)s?	I watch them occasionally, but haven't made any (yet)
Which classic game character should be brought back, in your opinion?	I'd like to see more of Tails and Knux in the newer games.
What do you think of Mary-Sues/Gary-Stus?	One word: Urgh.
What is your opinion on character/couple bashing?	Pointless and stupid.
Have you ever flamed someone about their opinion before?	Debated, yes. Flamed, never.
Do you like Sonic yaoi and/or yuri couples?	I like Sontails, but I don't consider myself to be a 'yaoi fan'. I just support the couples that I think work well, regardless of gender.
Do you support fan characters in pairings with official characters?	No. It's a personal pet peeve, actually x.x
What about crossover couples?	Eh... no. Not really.
Do you, or have you ever bashed a character/couple?	I talk to others who share my views about couples/characters we both dislike. But I don't flame or post online about it or anything like that. Because it's silly. Opinions are just opinions.
What is your favourite Sonic-related TV show?	AoStH by a loooooong shot ^____^ It's so cute! And great. People write it off as immature, childish, and silly. But it's actually really sweet and fun to watch.
What is your least favourite Sonic-related TV show?	Sonic Underground. The whole concept is just bizarre, and I can't imagine Sonic as a prince O.o Or having siblings. Or being in a cheesy band o.o
Should Sonic ever be paired up with someone in the games? If yes, then who with?	Not officially. Much as I adore Sontails, it would be insane to make it an official pairing :P I don't think ANY pairing should be official. The great thing about fandom is speculation - making anything official ruins that.
What do you think of the Babylon Rogues?	Typical nasty arrogant boastful rivals... bleh.
What is your opinion on fans stereotyping each other?	It's silly, but I think everyone does it to some degree.
Do you think you are what some people call a "n00b"?	^^; I hope not. I'd like to think not.
Do you think Shadow is emo like some people say he is?	Mariaaaa.... (yes XD)
What are your opinions on recoloured fan characters (eg, a green Sonic named Crazy)?	If I see one more recolored Tails sprite which still has two tails and is somehow related to Tails... I will scream ^^;
Do you believe in the Tails Doll curse?	o.o ::Hides under bed::
Which character do you feel is underrated?	The SatAM cast needs more love.
Do you think that super forms are being overdone now?	Kinda ::shrug:: Mainly I'm just fed up of hedgies with super powers x.x How is Sonic even special if a million other hedgehogs have cool abilities too?
Do you design lovechildren (fan-designed children for the Sonic characters)?	Eww, no ^^; ... although I guess I've speculated on what a hedgefox would look like ^^
Classic or recent games?	Classic all the way.
What do you think of the couple wars going around?	Immature, pointless, and I'm not getting involved :P
Amy Rose or Blaze the Cat?	Amy, just 'cause I'm not fond of all the new characters.
Jet, Wave or Storm? Which Rogue is your favourite?	None :P
Should there be a Sonic X season 4?	No x.x At least, not if it involves Chris ::gag:: :P
Who is your favourite fanfiction writer in the Sonic fandom?	Guess I don't have one... I don't read much fanfiction.
Who is your favourite artist in the Sonic fandom?	Jei ^^ Her art is AMAZING.
What would you do if a Sonic character came to live with you? Who would you choose?	Oh my o.o Can I have Sonic? ^^; Not that he'd be around much O.o But it'd be awesome to hang out with him and play video games and just chill and stuff ^____^
People think that Big's fishing levels suck. What is your opinion on them?	Didn't play them :P
Do you think any of the characters are good-looking?	Ah... um... well, Sonic is hot. But it's not just how he looks, it's his whole _attitude_. And that grin... whoa. Yeah, gotta admit I have it pretty bad for good ol' bluestreak ^^;
Name one thing that Sonic would NEVER say in a million years.	"Shadoooouuu, I luff you soooo much, squeeee! <3"
Which character has a lot in common with you?	I guess... Tails... maybe? I mean, superficially at least, what with my love of bi-planes, computers and mint candy, and my phobia of thunderstorms. Personality wise... well, character quizzes tend to score me as Tails, then Knuckles, then Shadow ^^; In that order.
Should Knuckles have a sidekick?	Knuckles? Nah... that'd be kinda weird.
What is the weirdest reason used to hate a Sonic character?	I find it very weird when rabid Tails fans hate Sonic for taking the limelight O.o In Sonic's own fandom XD
Out of all the hedgehogs in the game series, who is your favourite?	Sonic. By a million billion kazillion light-years :P
Your favourite duo? And by that I don't mean couple.	Sonic and Tails ^___^ The dynamic duo!
Should there be humans in the Sonic series?	Aside from Eggman? I personally think not. Making their world so much like ours kinda ruins it for me.
What do you think of Eggman-Nega?	I don't have too much of an opinion.
Best robot that Eggman's ever made?	Scratch and Grounder (AoStH) for comedic genius XD
Which character has the worst temper?	Hah... um... Sally can have a pretty bad temper. Knuckles is way too hot-headed sometimes, so he definitely has temper issues. But despite what the newer games booklets say, Sonic does NOT have a short temper ._.;
Omochao, what do you think of him?	He gets annoying ^^; Sometimes.
If you could hang out with Rouge for 24 hours, what would you do with her?	Nothing :P I don't care for Rouge.
If Metal Sonic opened up a shop, what would it be called and what would it sell?	Uh... no idea? ^^;;
Scratch and Grounder or Decoe and Bocoe?	Scratch and Grounder by far. Decoe and Bocoe are just characterless clones :\ Nowhere near as funny.
Have you read the Archie Sonic series?	A few issues, not much.
Sonic or Super Sonic?	Regular Sonic is plenty good enough for me ^^
Who do you prefer; Sonic or Shadow?	SONIC. :P
Cream or Cosmo? Which one is better and why?	Eww, what a choice ^^; Both annoy the heck out of me. If I have to choose, I'll say Cream, just because her existance wasn't an excuse to just angst the heck out of Tails at the end of Season 2/3 like Cosmo's was x.o
Try and think of something you admire about a character you dislike.	I guess I kind of admire Amy's chipperness, and her perseverence is... um... yeah... x.x;
Which one do you prefer; Jet or Storm?	Neither :P
Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog or Fleetway's Sonic the Comic?	Archie Sonic. Fleetway Sonic is a tactless jerk ;_;
Fiona or Omochao? XD	Oh my O.o Um... Omochao. Fiona can go jump, bint that she is :P
What do you think of Silver so far?	Fancharacter/recolor.
What about Elise? Does she look like a good character?	If she hooks up with Sonic, that will be wrong on SO many levels @_@
What is your opinion on Blaze the Cat?	Eh, neutral I guess. Don't particularly care for her. ::Shrug::
Blaze might be appearing in next-gen. Are you pleased about that?	I don't have any real interest in the next gen game.
Have you seen the original Japanese episodes of Sonic X? If not, which version have you seen, if any?	I've seen a few, and also some in French o.o
Have you ever named a pet after a Sonic character?	XD No, but I so would. My cats were named after StarFox characters.
The survey's nearly over... glad about that?	Aww, surveys are fun ;_;
Which Sonic games have you finished?	Sonic 3, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Rush (almost...)
What Sonic merchandise (not counting games) do you own?	Oh boy XD Um... I have over £3,000 of Sonic merchandise... including CDs (about 20), mugs, plushies (about 50), t-shirts, jackets, figurines (about 30), board games, paddle games, ties, hats, pins, pogs, stickers, manga, doujinshi, storybooks... and a heck of a lot more ^^
Which classic game was best?	Sonic 3
Which recent game was best?	Sonic Adventure

Which upcoming games look the most promising?	Wild Fire/Secret of the Rings
Do you think Shadow is hogging too much of the spotlight?	Yes -___-;;
