None of these are close (please describe)

(For the poll limit I cannot include every variation so I have tried to put them in sensible contractions: I hope this makes sense. Mods if I have missed off something essential please add it if it can replace one of these, or reject the poll if that's not feasible, thanks.)

Round 1 Pt. 1, Match 21: Chaos Sonic vs Berdly Who is trans in every direction at once?

Chaos Sonic

Berdly

Voting ended onSep 15, 2024

Propaganda:

Chaos Sonic:

- All robots are inherently trans

- Made to think exactly like Sonic, who is also very trans

- I'm trans and obsessed with them

Berdly:

- So. So many egg jokes

- They talk about in the perfect world they would have nipples. Possibly chest dysphoria of some kind

- I like to see them as either a trans woman ignoring their gender feelings by sinking into male dominated nerd culture or a trans man sinking into male dominated nerd culture for gender affirmation. And nonbinary people tend to be nerds period (said as an enby)

- Both Undertale and Deltarune are super queer so everyone's got a cool gender

[trans-all-at-once-tournament]

Round 1 Pt. 1, Match 7: Gonzo vs Sonic the Hedgehog

Gonzo

Sonic the Hedgehog

Voting ended onSep 15, 2024

Propaganda:

Gonzo:

- All muppets have a certain level of gender

- There are a few comic strips joking about Gonzo's gender being "whatever" (the bathroom strip where they go pat both the men's and the women's to go into the whatever comes to mind)

- They're an artist and a showman (show-whatever?) which is very trans of them

- In the Muppet Babies reboot they did a Cinderella type story with Gonzo as Cinderella and they wore a dress. Which honestly just fits very well into their whole gender situation

Sonic the Hedgehog:

- Their whole thing is freedom and following your heart

- Everyone in Sonic is so gender

- They hate pants but will wear a skirt in some iterations

- In at least one iteration Sonic is a chosen name, not their birth name

- Sonic once recieved a birthday card in the trans flag colors, which were obvious enough that one could argue it was intentional

Super Mario Bracket: SONIC THE HEDGEHOG vs "CAPTAIN" LOU ALBANO

Sonic the Hedgehog

SEED: 12 (49 nominations)

PREVIOUS OPPONENT: Undodog

SPECIES: Hedgehog

DEBUT: Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

BIO: the protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series, which historically was a "rival" to the Super Mario series. Sonic and his friends qualify as "Mario characters" through a series that's a crossover between three separate internationally famous brands: Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, and the Olympic Games.

[Super Mario Wiki article]

"Captain" Lou Albano

SEED: 76 (9 nominations)

PREVIOUS OPPONENT: Yellow & Blue Toad

SPECIES: Human

DEBUT: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

BIO: a professional wrestler who appears played by himself in an episode of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, "Captain Lou Is Missing". it is important to emphasize here that voting for Captain Lou is not voting for the character Mario from Super Show!, and it's definitely not voting for the character Mario from the other DIC cartoons where he is not portrayed by Lou Albano. Lou Albano and Walker Boone are not the same person.

[Super Mario Wiki article]

who is the best Mario character?

Sonic

Captain Lou

I feel people are greatly underestimating the comedic value of if Sonic the Hedgehog won the best Mario character tournament.

[thespectral-wolf]

Idk when the first trailer for Sonic 3 will drop, but I'm curious of other's predictions on this

Do you think they will include Amy and Rouge in the 3rd Sonic movie?

Yeah, both Amy and Rouge will appear

Only Amy

Only Rouge

They will only have a cameo

No, they will be completely absent

BARRY USES THEY/THEM. DO NOT MISGENDER THEM.

Rules you must follow or you will be blocked:

do not diss on any of the characters. hype characters up, don't bring them down.

do not be mean to any other voters, either on a personal level or in general. if you are trying to joke around, you must clarify because we cannot tell the difference.

do not claim a character does not deserve to be here. this includes claiming a character doesn't count as just some guy. if you hate it that much, make your own tournament.

if i genuinely fucked something up and did not notice please GENTLY poke me about it. passive aggressiveness will be ignored.

if you are posting propaganda you have to @ tag us, including if your propaganda is in the reblogs. it is difficult to tell when something is or isn't propaganda. anything not tagging us will be missed.

we see practically everything you put in the tags. don't say some shit that you wouldn't say to our faces. be respectful.

[the-irken-pony]

#as a henry stickmin fan vote barry#don't get me wrong henry does have his ''just some guy'' vibes esp early on#but barry is an amnesiac asked to solve a murder mystery case. you can't get much more ''just some guy'' than that

Actually I'm copy-pasting my Barry propaganda tags @just-some-guy-joust
