The Sonic and Sally romance worked because their personalities complimented one another while also clashing easily.
So as his rival, Sally could really mess with Sonic's ego in ways other characters can't.
A tie??????
If Bosnia wins one of you is getting a free comm
Thinking about it and like they need to bring back Sally Acorn specifically so Sonic has a girl rival that actually challenges him
(Honestly Jet is still the only active challenge to Sonic even if everyone working on the series forgot about this dynamic)
Futbol
Take your pick!
Knuckles? He's the jobro of the series
Shadow and Blaze? They aren't interested in that kind of thing
Metal and Surge? Are antagonists but not a challenge to Sonic on a personal level
Jet is the only one who goes "hey Sonic let's race for shits and giggles"
There's no translation so this is how I see him
