Just went back to look at the old intro for Battle revolution. that was so hype and I watched it so many times as a kid!
man looking back really and remembering the game makes me think of just how good of a fighter Ray would be!
controling space with guns, bombs, and pods. even using multiple weapon types from the games history to make his moveset even more diverse. he could be the first smasher with an air dash as part of his movement. and yeah you could make him the smallest fighter just for the amusement of fighting with such a little guy.
I feel like Ray and Saki are 2 characters that are just too perfect to not be playable.

Just for the people who have not seen the Battle Revolution Intro. It is pretty amazing.

In my opinion Ray from Custom Robo was one of the biggest snubs from Smash 4. The implementation of custom moves made him a perfect candidate to join the roster but unfortunately he was overlooked. He has such a cool design and I'd dig playing as him. Count me in as a supporter =) I made this for you guys

Believe it or not, there is someone out there that wants to help gather a huge Twitter community for Ray and the Custom Robo franchise as a whole.

Think of it as the Kremling Kampaigner account for him and he wants a lot of Custom Robo fans to follow this page and help spread the word. It may not be much, but there is still enough time to make some NOISE (pun side) and make sure Ray isn't forgotten. If the Isaac fas can do it, so can we.

Aw man... Battle revolution is one of my favorite games of all time. Ray would be such a great character! he's been consistently one of my most wanted characters in the series ever since his assist trophy was shown in Brawl. you can count me as a supporter!

Fellow Robos! What are your thoughts about Ray post Direct? He wasn't shown among the ATs, so he may still be in the wind.
Its just as scary as it is relieving. Everyone is here apparently, but does that count AT's? After all, grey fox also had his assist trophy removed. Honestly, I just wanna see a custom robo assist trophy again at this point.

it's a strange circumstance, on one hand we could see his lack of assist trophy as a good sign that he could still be playable, but on the other hand, it could be seen that he's not coming back at all.

I'm hoping for the former, but i'll still be okay if he comes back as an assist trophy. i just want him in the game.

Well, looking at Isaac...

Oh yeah, don't think I've posted in here before. I loved Custom Robo on the GameCube when I was a child, and think that a Robo would be a really fun character. I should get around to playing the rest of the series sometime.

Even if Ray doesn't make it this time at all, it's all just a matter of reminding Sakurai that since he's managed to pull off a projectile-based character with Mega Man, he can do it again.

After all the effort done to prove Ridley isn't too big for Smash, it's now time to make sure Ray isn't too small.

Holy crap, finally I find my way back to the thread of support for Ray. Count me back in after missing the thread from the jump of SM4SH to Ultimate. At this point, any sign of Custom Robo back in Smash is welcomed.

I'm already supporting Isaac, but i hope you guys, as well as the Saki fans get their wish.

I do like to add that the "mecha" codename that was referred to in the leaks was actually Ray. Elma isn't really a mecha. (Besides of how creepy looking she is.)

Custom Robo was also in Japan's top 20 percent. So i'm pretty confident he will be in the game somehow.

Also, AceZTeller AceZTeller , where was the 4chan post?

I use to want Elma but I think its a little late for her I think Corrin ruin her chance she shouldn't been one the last characters in smash 4 and I dont think Xenoblade Chronicles X was not that big back in the Wii U timeline. I think Sakurai Mech might be teasing Ray MK. Dude the more I like at Ray MK and listening Custom Robo music I need Ray MK and Custom Robo Music in Smash Ultimate. Even I love to see Elam in smash but I'm going to rock with Ray MK III he's a Mecha crying out loud.

Honestly? I don't think we should do that. Mainly because Ray needs as much support as he can get right now. Unlike Isaac or even Saki Amamiya, Ray doesn't have that big of a following right now.

Long story short: Considering Ray's circumstances right now, beggars REALLY can't be choosers.

Oh Gosh! I forgot! Thankfully, I still have it saved. Keep in mind, it's got that vulgar 4chan spice, so expect cursing.

I think the context was someone saying they knew that CR was effectively dead, but why that was the case.

Not the most encouraging of information, but hey. I think we're all used to it by now.

Oh, so it's probably what happened to both Sin and Punishment, Advanced Wars, and Golden sun. They didn't sell enough, and it flopped the series into submission. (This all happened in the 7th gen era. ouch.)

But even the creator isn't interested? and is instead making medicre obile games?

Man, Custom Robo's legacy really is down the drain.

Advance wars I actually disagree with. They said it was because they couldn't figure out how to put waifu relationships in the game and that's when they'll make another advance war. At that point, I'd say keep advance wars dead.

Oh...

That still probably doesn't help that a lot of franchises died in the 7th generation. (some even died in the 6th.) F-Zero, Wave race, and 1080.

I don't care which model of Ray is included, i just want Custom Robo included.

though i think during the ballot, i did vote for Ray 01... i can't remember. hopefully they just saw demand for "Custom Robo" and "Ray" if/when they were looking at the votes for the ballot (assuming that he actually did well, which given the lack of support in comparison to others, i'd find less likely). i'd hate for the split on which model people wanted to be the factor of Ray not being included.

When I saw Ray as an Assist Trophy in Brawl, I immediately wanted him as a playable character. Count me in for supporting him.
Hey, long time now see.

How's life treating you?

Of course, I was just saying that I am fine in the list, hehe.

Glad to see that there is a lot of people this time around unlike SM4SH's time.

I just want to mention that I didn't include XenoWarriorX XenoWarriorX because you mentioned you're lending your support to Isaac right now, but you seem really positive on the character so I almost did lol.

I really wanted to.

But really, i want Isaac and even Saki to be playable.
(I know Saki isn't a popular character, but he certainly can transition from a AT to a fighter real easily.)

Ray would need those two out of the way first. Since he's competing for the spots in smash.

Why can’t you support both? I support many characters

Aww, I like the poetics there. Mostly cause he's very little (which isn't a factor when you consider Olimar and the entire Kirby lineup). The big thing holding CR back is the small community. It's biggest thing going for it is that its that game that everyone remembers... after you remind them about it.

The ironicy of the situation. He is too small. It didn't work for Ridley, why would it work for Ray or any robo anyway?

And yet that didn't stop Ridley. Ray is fine, or any robo in that regard. That can't be counted as a negative point anymore
