I would like to remind everyone here that the OP has stated that sheer numbers will not determine who's in. After we get all the signatures tallied we will likley have a debate on which 3 to actually include on the SEGA Forums. You guys may have your chance to say you things there.

This is NOT final though, but is very likely(as with this pace, we'll likley get more than 3 to the 1000 mark).

I am a bit confused about it in regards to comments mde by Steve though. They have said that they couldnt include characters like Miku and also Ryo into the game, but if they were to get enough votes, would they go back on that?
(Miku is a 3rd party character, and Ryo was removed due to the vehicle selections for maps not suiting his vehicles from the first game. They did devote some time to at least including a Shenmue map, Yokosuka harbour, but there were other more visually appealing maps so Shenmue as a whole was eliminated)

I just didnt buy the vehicle excuse though. I mean develop a motorbike styled jet ski for water, or a fighter jet for flying, or a black car/forklift for road travel. Either way, i thought all characters from the original game should have returned, especially if this franchise is to compete with Mario, in that changing the roster doesnt bode well for consistent sales based on characters fanbases.

Motorcycle, speedboat, chi-you lmao. And what do they mean it wasn't appealing? Yokosuka harbor would be awesome. They coulda even done Guilin Forest if they wanted to.

I wish. =( (One of the catches was that there is no involvement from both them and SEGA, so I've been using my time setting this straight with fanbases.)

S0L himself is a huge Shenmue fan(he posted a gameses vid where he guest-starred to talk about the series). and seeing the support this would get if Ryo success, he would probably brush off any obstacle to get him in the game, like what happened with Big the Cat.

If you don't buy the vehicle explanation, you can post in the art topic we created in the link I posted earlier and prove otherwise.

Innit, I remember that about Ryo's exclusion. Besides that, there's the Genpu-Maru that they could've used, Wong's boat, Lan-Di's boat, the boat that takes Ryo to Guilin... And Guilin itself could've easily been visually appealing, and could've made for a tactical race if the canyons were included (seriously, those paths were so thin that ants would have to complete QTEs to cross em...!)

LOL at your last comment. And I agree. Did they forget a sequel exists?

I'm not too surprised to see Miku beating Ryo..but Vectorman? Is he really that popular? I'd never even heard of him until now.

Oh shit, Ryo's only 4 votes behind Vectorman now. Come on people, we can DO this! The dojo should sent out a mass email, Pat always does that over at SUcK (usually to spam us with pictures of him and Gary Newman making love ;P).

If he doesn't win the DLC vote, we should start a petition to get him in Mario Kart. Then, there could be an easter egg where he gets to run over Sonic with the word, accompanied by typical arcade-style voice "Roadkill" hitting the screen. That'd be fucking awesome-o 3000.

typical sega thing to do, nowadays whenever I hear them doing something stupid like that their theme always plays in my head as if anything that stupid is trademarked by them

Billy Hatcher might of been the case where the vehicle designs would never get full approval from Sega, so he was dropped altogether. It was never revealed it was him, but considering there's a Billy Hatcher track adds fuel to the fire so to speak..
