I honestly never thought the universe would throw you guys a bone. I haven't even played the games and even then I'm still laughing in the street in happiness for you guys.

Have fun serving an internet's worth of crow for me. You guys deserve it! =)

It's real.

Congratulations, Shenmue fans, for getting SEGA to listin to you, even if it's for just one simple thing:

You just beat me too it while I was typing, FourCartridge. :D 1% of Miku's votes were fake, 1.5% of Ryo's votes were fake. But Ryo still had more legit votes. 8) Not sure how many of you have seen the discussion on Sega's forum about Shenmue III following Ryo's win, but have a read here . I'm actua...

Hello again. The Campaign's official results are just in, so one final post before I leave. XD http://forums.sega.com/showthread.php?432251-The-great-DLC-vote-Official-Vote-results! 1st Place - 3327 Votes - Ryo Hazuki 2nd Place - 3148 Votes - Hatsune Miku 3rd Place - 2581 Votes - Segata Sanshiro 4th...

The results have just come in. A few words from the dev: http://forums.sega.com/showthread.php?427121-S0L-s-Challenge-The-Campaign-for-SEGA-characters-to-become-DLC&p=7698552&viewfull=1#post7698552 I look at this thread and wonder if it can go more than 4 posts without someone having an argu...

Ok, thanks for clarifying. Seems Ryo's in a dillema then. I'm guessing the forklift can work though, right? It's why I posted the whole "arcade cabinet vs forklift" argument; the people on the forums came up with that, and I was doin a little focus testing to help bring it to an end. Seem...

They seemed to be ok putting him on a motorcycle in the previous games and they head weapons. They can magically make it turn into whatever they want. Don't see the prob. Should probably explain this more: Almost everyone I know agreed that bikes were OP because they could also do wheelies in strai...

They're too small and can more easily dodge weapons, putting them at an advantage. Also, modellers need space to store whatever the vehicle may need for its transformations.

So an interesting conversation about Ryo has come up on the topic about what people want out of him, and you guys being fans, I thought you might have useful stuff. We're coming up with ideas for Ryo's vehicle(bikes are out for balance reasons), and everyone's mostly divided between 2 things; a tran...

You guys do realize that you all can vote for more than one character, right? =P All that would really happen is "0_0 Ryo's goin down... oh, there there he goes up again".

BTW, you can thank this guy for his sudden surge:

They're back up for the people over at SEGA Forums and me. Your tally is broken though(we were using it!).

I feel like sumo don't want ryo in the game, they're constantly changing rules. Yeah, I kind of get this feeling too. But all that matters is that we've taken this opportunity to show how much support and enthusiasm people have for Ryo and Shenmue. What's more is that with the other two top spot's ...

Noooooooooooooooooo! Segata has to be in there! He saved Sega and Ryo's dad. Sure he can agree to be part of Sega once more Should probably mention this then: We didn't expect the amount of support this got. So what we are doing is first we are gonna present 3 characters to SEGA. When one or more o...

I'm wondering if we shouldn't start getting pretty darn careful about where we publicize the contest. Up until now, it hasn't mattered if a few people who've seen our links have chosen to vote for other characters instead, so long as the majority followed our advice and voted for Ryo. But now, if w...
