A big problem with that is the fact that Just Dance makes extensive use of licensed songs, something Nintendo might not be willing to pay for. Seeing as Just Dance revolves around music, I have a hard time seeing it happen because of that.
I don't exactly know how many Smash Ultimate polls have been released, but Source Gaming's Mega Smash Poll had Rayman at #6, below Dante, Sora, Doomguy, Geno and Crash. Not bad at all. He's still very popular in Smash speculation.
Eh, if Capcom wants to go with a series with a lot of appearances on Nintendo systems, Monster Hunter seems a bit more preferable over Ace Attorney. It's the overall largest of the three by sales too due to Monster Hunter World's success.
Yeah, man! #6 is a great spot to be in! It's within the top 10 most requested characters and #6 is definitely no slouch!
I do think the moveset that Byleth was given would have worked so well on a Monster Hunter character just with a few minor adjustments like a move here or there.
I thought we had established by now that the "order" of characters is not really a thing, heavy hitters are not necessary saved last etc. The rest of the pass could be characters from the smallest franchises with the littlest popularity for all we know.
I want Phoenix Wright more myself but history makes flack when we have
Well if we're taking Just Dance seriously then Fifa and Madden are just as likely to get a rep in Smash.
I think he meant more like Just Dance is another game that is part of the relationship between Nintendo and Ubi and not that Just Dance is going to be on the roster in Smash.
Not really. With the addition of the Wirebug, Monster Hunter hypothetically could work with Byleth's moveset, but that doesn't mean it should. It would mean that iconic weapons like the Greatsword and the Dual Blades are nonexistent, the Lance, Gunlance, or Insect Glaive aren't portrayed correctly, the various traps and items won't see any use, etc. You'd have to take quite a few liberties to make Monster Hunter work with Byleth's moveset, and it would be better to just give them an original moveset that does something completely different rather than shoehorning them into an already-existing one.
Ah fair enough. I just don’t really see people talk him that much anymore. Especially compared to the Smash 4 days where he was one of the top dogs.
For the overall pass? You’re right. But they’re just now beginning to add western characters. We got:
before we started getting smaller Japanese third parties. I can definitely see a similar situation happening for western characters, unless one becomes as big as Banjo was. But even then I think Banjo’s special history with Nintendo helped a lot there.
I like Euden. I played Dragalia Lost pretty solid for a year and a half. Have enough fire emblem characters to make decent teams with just them. Got Mega Man. It’s a fun game to me. I view it as Nintendo’s version of Gauntlet.
Honestly, there is some truth to what you said, outside of the "hardcore Smash fanbase" which is the people like us that speculate about new characters and the like Rayman is definitely a popular request, but if we're talking the more casual people that probably know something way more like Halo or whatever else is considered mainstream than yes those characters are more known than Rayman. Still, Rayman is a highly requested pick within the hardcore Smash community.Ah fair enough. I just don’t really see people talk him that much anymore. Especially compared to the Smash 4 days where he was one of the top dogs.
I think Rayman would be a cool choice, but I also think he has a big uphill battle to get in.
For the overall pass? You’re right. But they’re just now beginning to add western characters. We got:
But at the same time, they could do something unexpected & add like Max from Scribblenauts or something that’s smaller.
Banjo Kazooie hasn't had a new game since 2008, 12 years ago, and he still got in Smash.
It has Neku, I’ll accept it
He's however has had more demand since the Melee days. Prior to his announcement, he was up there with
and
Oh yeah of course. I'm not saying that Rayman was as requested as Banjo, but that characters don't need a new game to be added.He's however has had more demand since the Melee days. Prior to his announcement, he was up there with
Rayman to say was nowhere close to being as requested as those three were.
Don't take this the wrong way, Rayman can still happen but he was nowhere comparable to Banjo, not even close.
Yeah, but Banjo was one of the most requested characters. Period. Who even had some sort of following in smash. Rayman is a character that has a somewhat decent fan demand in the west (good, but not S tier fan demand) and basically no interest in japan.
You also miss the other points, namely the character is not popular at all outside of the west (and even here Rayman ain't as popular as in Smash 4) and that Ubisoft's new content they are getting are just Mii Costumes.
Me personally, I feel like adding Euden would help represent Nintendo's desire to get into the mobile market. Despite... mixed results, it seems pretty clear to me that they want to keep at it. Plus, Dragalia Lost holds the honor of being Nintendo's first original IP for mobile, so it has that going for it. I know it's not available in all regions (apparently Europe has some strict gambling laws), but it's not like Mother 3 where the only official version is the Japanese version: Dragalia Lost does, in fact, have a Western presence.
Did the leaker who posted that leak also use Mr. Big as their avatar and mentioned Nintendo and Co.'s war on drugs?
10%? That's way too low, he's a very likely candidate to be added. All I'm saying is that a character does not need to have a recent game to be in Smash.
Funny, that's actually half of this prediction that was posted a short while back.

I personally doubt Euden happening, but this is mainly due to me kind of being down on first parties in general. Honestly the number of first parties I think have a greater than 5% chance in my eyes is very small. I know Min Min gave a lot of people hope in first parties and spirits, but I think that it overall first parties ain't that likely overall.
Considering the leak was basically a 4chan post right before TGAs with a Mr Big pic, I think you might be happy to hear that. As for who got revealed at the TGAs in my dream, it was Neku lol.
But he is not though. Rayman is a character that is only popular in one section of the global market, is from a company that had Mii costumes that could have come with Rayman come with a different character, and is in a dormant state right now. Giving Rayman a 10% chance is generous on my behalf, he missed the boat in Smash 4. I could literally name two dozen characters that are more likely than Rayman in my eyes.
All I'll say is that Smash Ultimate's development lines up with the Smash Ballot, and Rayman was most likely a very popular vote for that.
Lol there's no such thing as only having a chance in one specific smash game
tell that to the pokemon/fire emblem characters that missed their one shot at getting in lol
Pokemon/Fe is a different case where the rep is always an advertisement of the most recent game. I'm talking about fan requested characters
Nah, I definitely think Ubisoft wants Rayman in. It just seems to be Nintendo who doesn’t care as much.
I'm pretty sure there's a few Xenoblade characters that would only have a shot at Ultimate and not the next game afterwards.
Ah yes the smash ballot, where at best you can make an argument that at best only 4 of our DLC characters came from.
Except that there is. It turns out, characters tend to do better when they are in the limelight or cultural zeitgeist.
The thing here to note is that Phil Spencer and Minecraft are the two main reasons Banjo & Kazooie happened in Smash at all. Microsoft had something that Nintendo wanted which was Minecraft and Phil Spencer was the voice we needed to get Banjo & Kazooie into Smash Bros.
I think the fact that the Rayman fandom is still going strong despite 7 years without a new mainline entry in the series is a strong enough reason, but ok
This^^^
That's nice and all but his fan demand has grown since the smash 4 days despite people denying it has. If we gotta wait a few games for the demand to grow loud enough then so be it, but his boat definitely hasn't sailed for good
I was more fearful of Travis than certain.
Then I guess we definitely never need another character from Sega, SE, Capcom, Bamco, Microsoft...
Nooooo.
Dude, calm down, it was just a suggestion.
You could make that argument about basically any video game character even. Plenty of franchises have had their fanbases say intact even in droughts.
Except it has not really. I hate to remind you of basic history, but his fan demand was at its highest...during 2015. When everyone said the character made so much sense and the Omni leak made people think about Rayman. I could name characters that actually have seen spikes in their fan demand, such as Heavy for some reason.
Hell to the yes.
