Dark Warrior said:It's high time that the n00bs ACTUALLY think for themselves. By now it's clear that Sonic/Shadow clones are EXTREMELY frowned upon. I should not have to hold these people's hands through these processes. There's a difference between not knowing HOW to do something, and not thinking. I'm more than willing to help someone who really doesn't know how to do something, than someone who won't use his brain and do something creative. I wouldn't be complaining if this was made from scratch. But it isn't. It's entirely remade from something else. Only a very few characters can pull that off (Being Mighty and Shadow), and only then, if they're done right. This is not an exception.
I'm not saying you should hold their hands. But you don't have to try to discourage them from trying. You're starting to turn away people who are willing to learn. It's not that people actually try to be newbish. If you're new, you're new it can't be helped. If you can't say anything nice or at least tell them that they could be more original, then you really shouldn't say anything to them. It's hard to make a fan character not resemble a Sonic character when your fan character is BASED on the Sonic series.
