Forget SonSal, SonAmy, and even SonMina. What we should be pushing for is SalSalbot!

Amy strikes me as the kind who would enact a Manson style murder spree.

Just joking. I'm a SonSal, of course I am. I hate Amy since I listened to her voice in the Spanish (and every other) dub of Sonic X.

I differentially support Sonic and Sally. The two are cute together, and balance each others personalities out.
Amy is just a crazy 12-year old stalker. Amy belongs in a straitjacket in a padded room.

[furrykef]

Differentially? Does this involve calculus?

[LibbyLishly]

Dangerous question! Sonsal, all the way. Here's why:

1) Sonic/Amy
Jumping right in and attacking the most commonly proffered 'canon' couple. All I can say is this: Seriously? Amy may be totally obsessed, but that obsession freaks Sonic out and it's pretty obvious that he's not attracted at all. She's too relentless in her pursuit; any chance she might have had at one point is gone because she's pushed him away. And, oh, is she ever high-maintenance. The hero can't constantly be looking over his shoulder to make sure a Piko-piko hammer isn't about to come down on his head. He says stupid things far too often; he needs a girl who will call him on it when she needs to and ignore it when the time requires it.

You know why I think SEGA put her in the games in the first place? I think they had seen so much fan mail come in from girls swooning over Sonic that they thought it would be funny to put one of those fangirls in the games. See what you did, SEGA? Now everyone thinks you meant for them to be together!


2) Sonic/Sally
Let's hear it for 'duh' moments. Anyone who was introduced to Sonic through SatAM or, frankly, who only knows about the games and can't handle the idea of the control-freak, sugar-high Amy with our favorite Blue Blur, knows that Sally is perfect for Sonic. Face it: she's the brains, the thinker, the lady with the plan. He's the speed, the follow-through, who's fought alongside her all his life. She's the princess, he's the hero. Everything about their interactions, down to their constant, stupid (but totally adorable) bickering, says, “Those two are going to get married someday.”

Not only that (and I am SO showing my bias here), but she's the best female character in the entire Sonic universe. She's smart, competent, compassionate, hard-working, loyal, and dedicated – oh, and did I mention, totally beautiful? Sonic would be an idiot not to fall in love with her.

So here's my solution for Amy, since i tend toward anti-Archieness:
3) Antoine/Amy
Ta-da! And here's why it works: Sonic and Sally are together, right? What better than to have the people who've spent their lives in love with the two get together?

Antoine's a natural romantic. In fact, his romancing – poems, flowers, whatever – occasionally did manage to get even Sally's attention back in the day. Amy's always wanted Sonic to be romantic and to do the traditional poems and dates and flowers, and Antoine would give her that without even being asked. His natural “Run away!” reaction would be countered by her killer Piko-piko instinct. And, face it: they're both annoying at times. Put together, they can mature together, and become quite the team.

I never liked having Antoine/Bunnie together. It always weirded me out, but that's another thread in itself....

Don't worry, there are lots of people who agree with you. Including me

Maybe there should be a seperate thread about that, idk

[PuffinGrandeur]

SonAmy if I'm forced to choose, but I'd really rather he not seriously date anybody. I honestly do not comprehend the obsession there is with pairing a character like this up.

I'm guessing by your support for Ian and Amy your mainly a SEGASonic fan and by that I'm guessing you just want Sonic to be an atachmentless ronin. I just want to say why? It seems to me SEGA just says that to not have to write a character for him and is it really wrong for Sonic to have a deep relationship with someone to build character?

Really that point of view just makes Sonic a bland and boring character and people wonder why very few peoples favorite character is the titler protagonist of the series.

Well, two things. First, yes! Sonic being somewhat free of attachments and responsibilities and commitments is something I consider a major part of the character. He's somewhat impulsive, somewhat self-centered, and he has bad relationships with authority of any kind. His entire character revolves around personal freedom and adrenaline seeking thrills: forcing him into a committed romantic relationship doesn't just weigh him down, it weighs down everything he's about. Secondly, I do not care about who a flippant hedgehog is dating. Seriously, I can go for DEEP CHARACTERIZATION and EPIC PLOTS and all that, but romance drama is just the lowest common denominator of cheap emotional string pulling, especially when it's about a super-fast hedgehog with ATTITUDE. Seriously, some of the original Freedom Fighters or the tertiary characters I can understand, but WHY HIM? There's NOTHING about Sonic that demands romance and kissy faces. Why is it so important that a character who usually doesn't even plan what he's doing tomorrow, decide who he's going to spend his life with today?

Also, side note, Sally acts a lot like Sonic's mom most of the time and that's a little creepy. But THAT is just me, and I don't expect anybody else to see things the same way or really understand it.

And now: an Internet fight~!

I agree that it's weird, but I kinda like how weird that would be. But I never read any of the comics that covered the relationship, so I wouldn't know.

Sonic to any western fan is someone who hates tyranny and injustice in all it's forms and hencefore is someone who is very close to his friends and NOT someone who wants to run away from his responsible to the ones he loves and cares about.

Actually, one of the things I loved about Sonic Colors from the cut scents I've seen, is that Sonic has once again established a deep connection to Tails as a brother like figure to Sonic. Which says to me because of the new writers, that this philosophy of Sonic the loner is thankfully going to fade away.

but WHY HIM? There's NOTHING about Sonic that demands romance and kissy faces. Why is it so important that a character who usually doesn't even plan what he's doing tomorrow, decide who he's going to spend his life with today?

Because character bonds make a character stronger if he/she has more people to bounce off of closely and what better way then to build a character then with him being in a scerwball opposites attract romance.

Sonic wants freedom and to do that, he has to stop people like Robotnik from destroying and ruining lifes, so he and everyone he loves else can be free and live a better life for tomorrow.

Yes. 100% with you. I was so impressed that Sega had finally made a move back in that direction. WIN! After the total butchering of Sonic's character in Sonic X, at last they're showing him again as actually caring and actually being best buddies with Tails like he's supposed to be.

(Oh, and sarcastic Tails ftw...)

I second that. Amen & amen.

When did I say that Sonic ran away from responsibilities, or that he was entirely a loner? Amazingly, I SAID NEITHER. I said he was a character who didn't HAVE those responsibilities, and whose emotional bonds didn't come in the form of commitment. Sonic and Tails is a great example of that: they're like brothers, but neither one truly hinders the other in living their life. Tyranny and injustice are fine to dislike (I know very few people who don't,) but putting that in the form of a kingdom and a love life hinders the overall message of PERSONAL freedom that the dislike of tyranny and injustice stems from. Sonic shouldn't have anybody consistently running his life and telling him what to do, whether it's an evil dictator like Robotnik or a well-intentioned girlfriend like Sally.

Except! There are a dozen better ways, and the comic already expresses that! Especially in the form of characters like the other Freedom Fighters who Sonic can still be close to AND NOT WANT TO SMOOCH.
