Starting next week (Monday 19 July), the Sonic News Network (the main Sonic wiki) is holding a tournament for characters from all version of the Sonic series. It's going to be huge! There are several STC characters involved, including Johnny Lightfoot in week 1 and Tekno in week 2, to name just a few. It would be great if some STC fans could go along to vote. Let's see how far the STC characters can get! The page is at sonic.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic_News_Network:Sonic_Character_Tournament

They really stacked the odds against STC characters, didn't they? Dr. Zachary vs Enerjack? Although Sega Tails vs. Shortfuse would be a fun fight to watch.
Also, including Tiara Boobowski AND Ray and excluding STC Super Sonic? Bull[censored].

Everyone knows about Fleetway Super Sonic being an [censored]ing evil nutcase. Even /v/. Missed oppurtunity.

Sonic versus Cheese? I'm under the impression that Cheese could go up against Cheese and still lose.
Anyway, basically, STC characters are going to lose on account of the size of the fanbase, and nobody cares. Like, even if all the STC characters won, I'd go... "Oh." Having a poll about the story/characters of the Sonic franchise is like conducting an experiment about the wind in Scotland on top of Mount Everest. A fantastic waste of time and resources.

I would've thought they'd put Zachary against Finitevus.
I would LOVE to see Sonic go out against Cheese in the first round. We should totally start a petition.

If anyone is interested (and, actually, even if nobody is interested), voting has opened on the first week. Not too surprisingly, Johnny Lightfoot is getting trounced by Cream. It would be nice if, at the very least, he didn't lose by the widest margin of the week.
Also, all match-ups were done randomly. The fact that Zachary is up against another echidna at all is pure chance.

Voted for Johnny, bless him.
Also still annoyed there's no STC Super.

Let it be declared that Momma Robotnik must win this thing.

I voted for her =)

Me too. If Robotnik can't stand up to her, Snively certainly can't.

My money's on: Black Knight (he's immortal and Amy doesn't have the five legendary swords to stop him), Emerl (because he's more than capible of beating most of the Sonic cast in Battle), Snively (strangely enough), and Johnny Lightfoot (for obvious reasons).

Wow, StC got some pretty poor match-ups to contend with (Was it Porker Lewis or Shorty agaist Tails?). I just hope Vector can win out over Jet; Jet has his fangirls, but he also has his haters, while Vector is far more of a balanced popularity character.

Week 2 is up, featuring Tekno versus Topaz from Sonic X. This really should be our best chance to get an STC character through to round 2, since Topaz is pretty much a nobody. Tekno's not off to a great start, though.

Well it's pretty clear that Manik and Teckno are going to lose because of the differing fan bases. Though I'm pretty much okay with Caterkiller and Athair losing their matches.

Topaz, a nobody? Surely that must be the untrue comment of the week! Topaz, despite being 'omigosh human', is one of the most popular Sonic X-exclusive characters. Combine that with the sheer amount of Sonic fans who have seen Sonic X as opposed to reading StC and...well, the canary doesn't stand much of a chance.
I'm surprised Caterkiller is faring so poorly, though.

The fact that Hero Chao and Topaz are winning makes feel empty inside. I'm shocked Tekno is doing so badly.

Glimpsing through this thing reminds me of why I don't pay attention to these poll things, especially in the Sonic fandom. It's nothing but one big circle-jerking contest among the game fans and the animé fans.

No STC characters this week, but there are four more battles for which the outcomes are already obvious.

This week, my hopes are up for: Knuckles (especially if it's the STC-O Void), Egg Robo (it'd be a close call though), Metal Sonic 3.0 (it had me at "his opponents' abilities"), and Mammoth Mogul (he's nearly impossible to beat one-on-one, especially with a Choas Emerald equipped; take the Battle Royal special, and StH issues 56/the Knuckles tie-ins as examples).

Nothing that Sonic can't do better, with a bit of practise. Apart from the Final Boss, I'll give you that.

Mammoth Mogul hasn't a chance. At all.

Should have been Ekkelectos the Tantaragor super elephant vs Mammoth Mogul. XD

I was at band camp for week three, but my bets for week four are for Eggman, the Albino Echidnas, and Alai from the Monkey Ball series.
