I really hope I don't come across as spammy or over-enthused but guys, we really need to stick together and start pressing the issue in as many venues as we can. The K. Rool and Ridley threads here show that a little desire can become a big force if enough voices and eyes are on the same page.
We're not going to do any petitions or things like that since we should all know that Nintendo doesn't pay mind to things like that, but we should do our best to keep the visibility of this character high at all times. Everyone who was interested or intrigued by the character, take a moment to check out the OP and get a little more insight before leaving. Grab a Takamaru sig support icon to go and tell a friend to stop by. Supporters in this thread (every last one), I cannot stress enough how much of an opportunity for visibility it would be for Taka if the Project M Backroom included him as one of their clone engine characters. It's on us to make our voices heard. Even if we don't make that goal, it's still focused noise that shows we want our samurai. If you're good at fan art be it in terms of being funny or balls to the wall awesome, don't hesitate to do stuff. Don't just sit back and take it all for granted or get dissuaded because we didn't hit our ideal target.
We are all excited to see him make the game but with the sentiments shown over the last few days, there is a real desire for this character and with the international audience now getting exposure to both the character and game, we should take advantage of the situation as much as possible. Just remember to be polite, accept that some opinions may not be swayed, and focus on educating others on why we feel so strongly for him. (I'm doing some browsing around the net and apparently a lot of folks respected our fanbase for being very chill and easy going/"not obnoxious")
