Sonic News Network:Sonic Character Tournament/Week 1

Welcome to the very first week of the Sonic News Network Character Tournament! This week we're holding the first four match-ups in the first round. We have some interesting battles taking place this week, so everyone get voting for your favourite characters!

Battle 1
Battle 1 features Amy Rose, the Sonic series' main heroine and Sonic's self-confessed love interest, versus the Black Knight, a mystical medieval warrior who was once the greatest king in British history. Amy Rose will no doubt be relying on her trusty Piko Piko Hammer, which she's used to defeat monsters and giant robots both, but can it stand up against the might of the Black Knight's Deathcalibur?

Who should win Battle 1? (Just a temporary example - will be reset when voting starts) Amy Rose Black Knight

Battle 2
In Battle 2, it's Emerl versus Antoine D'Coolette. Emerl the Gizoid was created by the Nocturnus Clan centuries ago, and became so powerful that the entire clan was sucked into the Twilight Cage. In modern days, Emerl was befriended by Sonic, before being taken down by his friend when he nearly destroyed the world again.

Antoine is a stalwart member of the Knothole Freedom Fighters, a cowardly coyote with a French accent whose hilarious antics frequently irritate his fellow Freedom Fighters. But Antoine's still alive and kicking, and he's married to the love of his life, so there's clearly more to this guy than meets the eye!

Battle 3
In Battle 3, it's Doctor Robotnik's conniving nephew versus his psychotic mother! Snively Robotnik is a sneaky weasel, frequently attempting to usurp his uncle's power and take over Mobius himself. Momma Robotnik is a boisterous and domineering woman, so crazy that her own son (the ruthless Doctor Robotnik himself) had her locked up in an asylum for Really Bizarre Mothers, but she frequently escapes and interferes in her son's life. But which is the more dangerous?

Battle 4
It's the clash of the rabbit titans: Cream the Rabbit versus Johnny Lightfoot! Cream has been a mainstay of the Sonic series since her first appearance in Sonic Advance 2. A sweet and innocent girl who'd rather hang out with her friends than fight, she's nevertheless got a few tricks up her sleeve, even being able to fly by flapping her wings.

Johnny Lightfoot appeared in the very first Sonic game ever, as a small animal released from badniks, but he's better known from his appearances in Sonic the Comic, in which he's a founder member of the Freedom Fighters and fights with his trademark metal staff.
