What kind of people do you think sonic attracts
















I feel like every black person that i know that plays this game either plays lucario (Hes based of an egytian animal, i.e. hes african) or sonic, and one of boxobs thread really got me thinking

how many sonic mainers are actually black?
btw im taking this very seriously and will be updating this thread

from now on, i will be marking the really good sonic mainers with tourney results and what not with this
$$$
this means that the person is using sonic as their pimp hand and slapping the shiznit out of people at tourneys, i will be keeping track of the races of people in that regard as well.

so heres what i do know

$$$K.I.D. Black even though I can speak and write correct English, and I have a steady job

Boxob, so white, his code name could be Box 'o Crackers (im basically quoting this from his "effective styles" thread)

Umby. says hes black, but i find it hard to believe that any self respecting black man would name himself after a pokemon like umbreon, cause with the exception of lucario, every pokemon after #151 sucks giant donkey dong

$$$Puffball: He's a janitor in the Casino that his people own, Mexican and Native American

$$$Tenki: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQAGh3JViyI 1:46, 2:17, 2:35, 3:07, and 4:02

SonicOrochi: Hes from brazil, so I can only assume...
Hes latin and english is not his first language, but hes probably the same skin tone as a jamacan,

$$$Jman: I believe his words were "Halfrican-American"

Greenstreet: Like mixing whole, 2%, 1% and vanilla milk together.... just 5 different flavors of white

Napilopez: Lopez, figure it out... Dominican.

Suna: Black (I dont know anything about him so i couldnt think of anything funny to say)

$$$DJBrowny: Plays Sonic AND Lucario, AND is a DJ, AND is a browny, i could have sworn on everything I own that this dude was black, i was wrong, that dude is bleach white. p.s. i dont know about you but im getting tired of this guy. hes not even black and hes not even a true sonic main yet he accounts for 3 of sonics 6 tourney wins in this ranking period, the rest of us need to step it up

$$$Memphis: Same skin color as his avatar (back when it was zelos from tales), probably looks like him as well, with different colored hair

Modern-day Mercutio: Halfrican, once again not sure what exactly this means...

ROOOOY: Hes English. Like memphis, he probably looks like his avatar.

$$$X (didnt feel like putting in the underscores): Hes in Utah, I know for a fact that there are no blacks in Utah. Its also too cold for Mexicans. I assume hes white, but i know hes not Mormon, even though 40% of the state is.

PhoenixKaze: He is really good at smash, I know this because he is Asian.

Infzy(how the hell do you pronounce this name?)Answer me, GD you!!!!: says hes whiter than 10 crackers. and he probably looks like riku too. that is riku in your avatar right?

Neon Ness: Black.... comments pending.

Camalange: copy paper white. but its the sexiest copy paper I've ever seen in my GD life.

Aergherur(or however the Eff you spell this chinks name): How do you pronouce this BS

Marko X: refer to KID's description (he even looks a little like me, except nerdier and not as muscular

Terios: this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=notL4pcNjdc

disguy: See tenki

Zenthewanderer: hes a myth, white father, black mother

JB (Jaybee/Kojin): With only his name and my extensive knowledge of racial and minority streotypes, I deduce that JB can only be a ***** name, and the fact that he calls himself Kojin, also means that he is a lifeless anime nerd as well.

Chis: Hes from Nigeria... Hes from ******-ia, i wonder what color he is.... lol

Cat in the GD Hat: how do you have an asian teenager that still is only smart enough to read dr. seuss? his parents fail. *new*

Kinzer: hispanic, says he acts white. therefore he has no street cred and is highly uncool. *new*

SonicMaster5: lives in maryland, proly one a dem' country nyggas, proly has to walk FIFTEEN MILES just to get to the grocery store... *new*


feel free to tell me what you are and i will update frequently


p.s. halfrican , now that i think about it, could mean half african, or half puerto rican, please specify

This thread is simply too good.

I play Sonic and Lucario and Jiggz on the side (Sonic all the way in tournaments though), and I'm hispanic.

My ethnicity wasn't the factor though.

Sonic's my favorite all time vg character.

I play Sonic(duh) and a bunch of other chars randomly. My second best char is probably marth, but anyone who's played me knows my Sonic's skill level is way above that of any of my other chars.

Anyways, like Puffball, I am hispanic(anyone actually notice the "lopez" in Napilopez?). Proud Dominicano.

And like puffball, Sonic is my all time favorite videogame character. Actually, my favorite character overall, lol.

I'm just your problem~
What's wrong with a black guy naming himself after a Pokemon? Furthermore, what's wrong with a black person naming himself after a Pokemon that also happens to be black in color? Furthermore, why would it matter?

Umby is MJ though, so it's okay.

ShadoFiend (met him on AiB ladder) is black too, haha.
NoR4U is too.
Quik2288 seems to be too lol.

unfortunately true. I am not a sonic fanboy tho. Sonic really does feel better to control than the rest of the cast.

he seems like the only character as fast as melee.

Ehh..I only mained Sonic because I decided I wanted to before release.
I love Sonic, but hate the way he plays, or maybe I just hate Brawl in general :\
I don't second anybody, because I'm not comfortable with any other character :\ Though I'm looking at Lucario, lol
Despite the fact I'm pretty much a honky.

Yeah, I noticed the lopez immediately when I heard the name. I also find it creepy that we have the exact same reasonings for everything Sonic-related. It's pretty **** awesome.

@KID: Mexican/Native American (Apache Tribe) decent, that's all I know for sure.

Isn't it obvious? Black people main Sonic because black people run fast.

No, but seriously, though. I never noticed this 'trend'... I mean, I use Sonic, but I don't know any other black Sonic users in my area... Eh.

I'm straight up white and I main Sonic. I use him because I love Sonic (I admit I'm a fanboy). I'm pretty sure it's because when my mom was preggers all she did was play Sonic on the Sega...anyway when I got the game I decided I would get good with him no matter how horrible he is. It's funny though because he actually fits my playstyle perfectly...I play as other characters for fun like Luigi, Ness, or Jiggz, but Sonic is my main. I always use him. Whenever I switch to a secondary I do worse because it's like I've lost faith in my character so I have to switch, so I'm not as confident and I do poorly.

I'm black. Caramel to be exact, but yeah.

Why Sonic? Because he's Sonic. That alone justifies my choice.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles for the win.
