S0L/Steve Lycett of Sumo Digital put a challenge on the SEGA forum community to try to make an organized effort to show what characters fan want as DLC. This being his more exact words.
I'll set you a challange. Without any policing from the SUMO or SEGA crew, if you can all agree on three characters by the 1st of December and prove there is sufficient interest of at least 1000 unique people *per* character, I will present the result to SEGA. I can't promise anything will happen as a result, but since you're starting it...
Let's see if you can organise yourselves in the next few weeks to pull that off!
My sole hints, first you probably need to define some rules, then agree on who will police them, and then run it fairly (no cheating) and deliver something professional and credible I'd be able to use. You are on your own for the rest

Since the end part of the poll requires more than a thousand voters (which seems well beyond the scope of Sega's ASR board) I figured I'd try to spread the word here. Particularly as it seems in the preliminary voting going on right now, Alis Landale is in fourth, with the full top ten being:
1)Vectorman - 20 Votes
2)Ryo - 14 Votes
3)Sakura Shinguji - 12 Votes
4)Alis Landale - 11 Votes
5)Ristar - 10 Votes
6)Jacky (and Akira), Axel Stone - 7 Votes
7)Alex Kidd, Arle Nadja - 6 Votes
So if anyone's interested in PS (or any other sega franchise) getting in as DLC for this already chock-full of SEGA fanservice title, check out the thread on Sega's forum here: http://forums.sega.com/showthread.php?426663-S0L-s-Challenge-Stage-1-Attempt
