Knock, knock it's Knuckles! And he's looking for love. The two things we know about our lone echidna from Angel Island is that his weakness is girls (he's a shy guy) and that he once asked his dad if he could be date men and his dad said no (Archie Comics - also, this is a comedic exaggeration of what actually happened, don't quote me). Clearly, this confused bisexual needs our help, which is why we've gathered here one more time to do another ship battles: this time for Knuckles ships
Submit as many ships as you like - the more nominations we get, the bigger the bracket. Repeat nominations also help with seeding by showing the popular options, so please don't hesitate to submit ships you assume will have already been submitted
SUBMIT YOUR SHIPS HERE:
Submission/tournament rules under read more:
Most importantly: BE NICE. No bashing of any ship will be welcomed. Use your propaganda to uplift your own ship, not put down others
Any Knuckles ships from any media is welcome - be it the games, comics, cartoons or anything else
Only ships including the character Knuckles the Echidna will be accepted (e.g. Knuckles/Blaze, Knuckles/Vector, etc.). Ships for other characters in the series that do not involve Knuckles (e.g. Tangle/Whisper, Dave/Meh Burger, etc.) may get their own tournaments later on. Submissions that do not follow this rule will be ignored
Submit as many ships as you want, but don't spam submit a single ship
No Knuckles x OC ships. All of your OCs are great and we wouldn't want anyone's feelings hurt by seeing them knocked out :( For the sake of this tournament, an OC is a fan-made character that has never been used nor was created to be used in licensed Sonic media (So yes, you can submit cancelled character ships if any of those apply to Knuckles)
We do accept crossover ships. Preferrably from series that Sonic has officially crossed over with. At the end of submissions there will be a week-long period in which crossover ships will be judged to see if they'll be included
Polycules are welcome
If you have a specific version of the ship that you like, specify what it is and this will be counted as separate to the general ship, e.g. Knuckles/Sonic (general) and Knuckles/Sonic (Boom) would be included as separate ships
Ships pairing Knuckles with younger characters like Cream or Charmy obviously won't be accepted. If a ship is submitted and I'm worried it might make waves, I'll run a poll to see if it should be included in the tournament or not
Also, just gonna put this out there: But Knuckles/Julie-Su and Knuckles/Rouge are acceptable ships for the tournament and I don't want anyone being weird about them. If you feel uncomfortable with them, then mute Knuxouge and KnuxSu
Submissions will be open until Sunday 24th September or until I feel we have enough to run a tournament

Amy Ship Tournament Nominations
While in Japan she was introduced as Nikki's girlfriend in the manga, to many of us in the rest of the world, Amy Rose was introduced as a spirited girl who had a crush on Sonic. She's gone from chasing him to being a part of the core team and whether she's looking for love or looking to spread love for the world around her, Amy has been a big focus on the fandom and certainly of the shipping scene ever since she first appeared
Which is why our third tournament will be focused on ships featuring Amy Rose. Submit as many ships as you like - the more nominations we get, the bigger the bracket. Repeat nominations also help with seeding by showing the popular options, so please don't hesitate to submit ships you assume will have already been submitted
SUBMIT YOUR SHIPS HERE:
Also, submission/tournament rules under read more:
Most importantly: BE NICE. No bashing of any ship will be welcomed. Use your propaganda to uplift your own ship, not put down others
Any Amy ships from any media is welcome - be it the games, comics, cartoons or anything else
Only ships including the character Amy Rose will be accepted (e.g. Amy/Tekno, Amy/Silver, etc.). Ships for other characters in the series that do not involve Amy (e.g. Tails/Kit, Knuckles/Rouge, Dave/Meh Burger, etc.) will get their own tournaments later on. Submissions that do not follow this rule will be ignored
Submit as many ships as you want, but don't spam submit a single ship
No Amy x OC ships. All of your OCs are great and we wouldn't want anyone's feelings hurt by seeing them knocked out :( For the sake of this tournament, an OC is a fan-made character that has never been used nor was created to be used in licensed Sonic media (So yes, you can submit cancelled character ships if any of those apply to Amy)
We do accept crossover ships. Preferrably from series that Sonic has officially crossed over with, but anything is fine I may make posts asking for feedback on crossovers with franchises I'm less familiar with
Polycules are welcome
If you have a specific version of the ship that you like, specify what it is and this will be counted as separate to the general ship, e.g. Amy/Sonic (general) and Amy/Sonic (Sonic X) would be included as separate ships
Ships pairing Amy with younger characters like Cream or Charmy obviously won't be accepted. If a ship is submitted and I'm worried it might make waves, I'll run a poll to see if it should be included in the tournament or not
Submissions will be open until Wednesday 28th June or until I feel we have enough to run a tournament
