Two years ago, if you told me that Miku was going to be in a kart racer with the TF2 guys, I would have asked how much alcohol you've been drinking.

[Ratham]

You got me :(

[DarthNocturnal]

Guessing it's a joke... but if not, well, at least perhaps this confirms Segata as well (top three of the poll).

[Mr. Buddy]

Dear SEGA: Do not include this blue haired bimbo in the PC version.
Love, Buddy

[Shred VII]

Dear Valve: write this game into the TF2 canon, I dare you.
Love, Mr. X

"Are you sure this will work?!"

"HA HA! I HAVE NO IDEA!"

But it ain't April Fools yet. lol

Also, what's with the deal with people saying that Miku doesn't deserver to be in the game? Technically SEGA has some form of copyright with that character, everyone wanted her to be in the game when the poll came up, and now everyone hates her. If it's about her design being too raunchy for this game, that's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Take a look at Ulala, he design is very skimpy and revealing that her skirt might as well be her oversized panties. And speaking of panties, Amy "Minnie Mouse" Rose flashes her panties all the time. And then there's Gum who looks like she's not wearing any pants or panties at all, just some long shirt that covers her pelvis. So I don't know, maybe it's because they think Miku fans just want to bang her in their own sexual desires. But then again it's the Sonic Fanbase, they're never satisfied with anything. Even when SEGA's recent games, *mostly Colors and Lost World* are just failed attempts to make the classic fanbrats shut up.

Oh I'm never satisfied with anything, just the way I am. You don't even have to be a fan of the Sonic francise to be unsatisfied :P

(I know you weren't even messaging me to begin with, but I just had to write that anyway xD)

Also, you forgot about Pudding.

Bayonetta would be too raunchy. I'm not sure where that assumption came about with Miku (unless I'm missing something?).

I think she's just polarizing because of what she is. Virtual pop star, from Japan no less.

[Giant Woman Enjoyer]

About Amy flashing her panties... nobody cares. That's not going to stir any controversy because she is a cartoon hedgehog, there is nothing inherently sexual about her design, which is completely different from a humanoid girl.

Nobody is saying that Miku is too "raunchy" for this game, they are just saying that she was designed to cater SPECIFICALLY to lonely anime nerds. It's the whole reason for her existence. Ulala, while somewhat sexualized, still has a more goofy and more outlandish design that appeals more to general audiences. Miku is designed specifically to sell bodypillows.

@Josh,
I still fail to see how this is makes it a problem.

I also still fail to see how the world would come to an end if Miku were added to the roster.

Probably because many are afraid of being "invaded" by overly Japanesqe characters. Like how everyone is afraid of being "invaded" by too many non-SEGA characters. Both fears are silly.

I mean, it's OK to take preference towards other characters, but, well, blowing the negative out of proportion is just what some people do on the internet.

Personally, I thought we finished crying those tears after "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games" happened.

Sonic showed up in Smash Bros, so did Snake, and neither of them started out in Nintendo.

Miku has some merit because of the Project Diva games which have been getting published by SEGA, if only for Sony hardware.

So yeah, at this point, cross-franchise inter-mixing is going to happen one way or another. I see no reason why this game couldn't "adopt" some franchise character much like we've seen Nintendo do already.

Would you believe some people hated having Snake in Brawl? Out of a roster of 35 characters, TWO were non-Nintendo. Some people STILL went up in arms over having "too many" non-Nintendo characters, and shot down anyone trying to suggest another one. And I'm willing to bet that there are those who loathe Mega Man being in Smash 4.

People and their "purity". It's crazy I tells ya.

[Mary-chin]

Yay! I want to choose Miku between the characters~.

[WeganB]

You guys are forgetting that there are other racing games out there, such as Mario Kart. Miku doesn't have to come to any one game in particular.
