Well, Ubisoft hasn't said a single word since then. All we need is a reconfirmation to ease our minds to make sure they haven't gone and cancelled it. Let's hope whatever Wii U game they have in store, it better be good.
Other games have had big additions as DLC, so I don't think Rayman would be out of the question as DLC.
That's more reason for him to be DLC, really.
Nah, just 6-7 years...
and . It seems like Sakurai wants to save the third-party bombshells for E3, so we could expect Rayman @ E3 2015. (And yes, I know Sonic was announced in October 2013, but he was a veteran fighter.)
We still need to see what DLC-related-aftermath the release of Mewtwo's causing...
Might.

, I find the lack of Year of Rayman spirit here very disturbing. So I'm going to go ahead and post something here to spread said spirit. I've created this about a week ago, my first attempt of a Rayman themed custom stage, officially titled Rayman 1:
I hope that's not the case for this year.

From what I heard, it may be awhile, the company making it has a ton of other projects. I just hope it comes out this year, I got their History of Sonic book a couple years ago and that was very well made.I'm too lazy to look this up online
When is the History of Rayman book coming to U.S.?
Yeah, the History of Sonic book was great! I hope Rayman's history book has a similar layout.
It was probably on some Reddit article. I wouldn't trust anything on Reddit, but the situation seems possible.
Rayman being cut was never confirmed, but it is theorized that Ubisoft asked to include him, but was too late, that's about it.
This is what baffles me about Smash interviews. Have people lost all curiosity on the fact that a character from a third-party franchise that has not seen any playable appearance in Smash is appearing as a TROPHY of all things? I honestly want to know the backstory of the dang trophy already.
I guess it's best to keep it a secret for now. Maybe some people actually want him in, unlike GameXplain, and are still
My respect for GameXplain ended up dying drastically after their remark of saying that Rayman isn't iconic as Mario and Sonic, and thinking that the Rabbids would be a 'better choice' than him. If Rayman does make it in as DLC, I'm going to take my sweet time by gloating in their faces via Twitter on how wrong they were.I guess it's best to keep it a secret for now.

holding on to the fact that he might still be playable through DLC. Either that, or people just don't care as much as we do.
G.I.N.A.S.F.S, friend.
@AndreGX is actually from game explain...I remember the discussion as clear as day. They said they would be okay with a Rayman stage but NOT Rayman being playable.
What were they drinking? Plum Juice?
Also, I'm sure Shovel Knight is an amazing game and he would have a good moveset, but a lot of people have forgot that the roster was decided in 2012, and Shovel Knight came out early 2014. No offense, but Shovel Knight doesn't have a chance against Rayman, no matter how great the game is.
"I would go nuts for Shovel Knight..."
Good for you!
Anyway, enough GayXplain bashing for now.
While we're waiting for Rayman's appearance in the official Super Smash Bros., has anyone here played Super Smash Bros. Crusade? Is it a good game, and is Rayman a good character to use in said game?
Good to know...
If they would rather have Shovel Knight or Bayonetta in Smash than an icon like Rayman, THEN something's wrong.
There's a poll going around where Bayonetta is higher than Rayman (what a disgrace). She has two games and hasn't even been around for a decade, she isn't anywhere close to Sakurai's description of an iconic third party character. Plus Sonic is already in the game, and she's owned by Sega. There's no specific rule against that, but do we seriously need multiples from one company?If they would rather have Shovel Knight or Bayonetta in Smash than an icon like Rayman, THEN something's wrong.
I can respect opinions, but I can't stand bias. If ya don't like Rayman, that's fine! It's an opinion. But when people say things like "Smash has enough third-party characters" because THEY think it does, then that's bias towards yourself.
As long as the character is a rational choice, like Rayman or Bomberman, and not dumb, like Shadow or Shrek, then people should be able to have their own wants for Smash.
I hope I made this statement without coming off as a fool.

Bayonetta's probably winning that poll because she's hot and over-the-top. Many might just be choosing based on who looks cooler.
Bayonetta would have to be butchered heavily to match ratings and whatnot, plus Platinum doesn't have interest in adding her anyway.
I can't even comprehend why people even think she has any chance whatsoever.
