Well according to S0L from All-Stars Racing Transformed team the winner won't be appearing in the game "why do I feel that's just a troll to surprise us of it appearing then? ;p" but at least this can lead to it appearing in the next Sega Superstars game so it's important ;)
Here are the two lists:
Poll 1 -
Blaze Silver Tikal Vector Cream Fang / Nack Big
Poll 2 -
Rouge Omochao Jet Classic Sonic Mighty Espio E102-Gamma
OMG Rouge? Did I read correctly? Do SEGA actually care for Rouge fans out there who mess her? I can't believe they also brought back Tikal, Gamma, Fang, and OMG Mighty? Wasn't there a rumor about SEGA not being able to use the character again because the creator of the character left SEGA and took him with him? I guess this is yet another proof of the "good quality" news we get from Sonic Retro :p
While I like Silver I don't get his popularity, he's more like Axel from Mega-Man X series to me, now Shadow I understand, not only that he's cool but his personality works well in the game to make nice twists in the story, like one minute he's a friend and next minute he betrays you, kinda like in Shadow the Hedgehog game, but Silver and Blaze seem more like Pokemons to me than a Sonic characters due to their supernatural powers!

I think that in popularity he gets a free pass only because he is a male hedgehog with a name that starts with the letter "S". And lol I agree, kind of like they were making Sonic into a furry version of the X-men where all the important characters had superpowers and agsty stories. I personally prefer characters that fight using either unorthodox abilities (like Sonic being super fast, Tails flying, Knuckles gliding) or tools (Amy's magical hammer, Fang's toy gun, Big's fishing rod) as that felt much more unique and original.
Anyway in a twist S0L mentioned that he is considering disqualifying the character that has rigged votes. (most likely Silver since the alt accounts are easy top spot, for example Chuck Norris, Bruce Wayne, etc). My recommendation is to grab some popcorn and see how this whole thing unfolds.
