Rayman for Brawl!

[Meta_Sonic64]

I think Rayman would be a good addition to Brawl.

 

[Jengs900]

Sorry if I'm reviving a dead topic, but I think that people need to consider Rayman much more seriously.

1: Ubisoft and Nintendo have excellent relations

2: Rayman is a very smash-esque character; as in, for the most part, he already has a moveset.

^B: Copter hair
B: Shoots fists
VB: Perhaps he could morph into one of his suits from Rayman 3? (Speculation)
>B: Plunger

3: The Great Escape is widely considered to be one of the best platformers of its time, and it was immensely popular. So much, that it was ported onto the Nintendo DS. Rayman 3 was another great platformer on the gamecube, although not as influential as its predecessor. Rayman Raving Rabbids was a launch title, and one of the most popular titles on the Wii thus far. Rayman is keeping up with the Nintendo company quite well, featuring in many games on the Nintendo system.

4: I'm sure that Nintendo wants to maintain Rayman's popularity, being that he is going to be in Nintendo's future. Why not put him in Brawl? Look what the inclusion of Marth and Roy did for Nintendo. It popularized Fire Emblem games into the mainstream. Rayman's inclusion in Brawl would popularize him and make more people interested in future Rayman games.


I don't understand why people bash Rayman and underestimate his chances. I think he has a good shot of getting in. Rayman for Brawl!

SWF is revival friendly, but "bump" posts are frowned upon. You're fine.

that they do

I have suggested that he pull a rabbid out and use like a sheild for Vb, but one of the suits could work

Great Escape was awesome, and Hoodlum Havoc was nice, but not great Raving Rabids is doing well, and I'm sure nintendo would like to continue that

Yes, but Rayman is already well known, while FE was pretty much unheard of outside Japan. Rayman's popularity would gain a boost from brawl though.

I don't understand why people bash Rayman and underestimate his chances. I think he has a good shot of getting in. Rayman for Brawl!

It's cause he's "cartoony" with the no limbs thing, and people want Sukapon too.

 

[Jengs900]

I agree, Rayman 3 was a bit disappointing to me as well. (Especially with Globox's voice change ><)

 

[SonicMario]

That no limbs is a dumb argument. People 1st said that no smash characters can walk on 4 legs until Ivysaur said Hi. Rayman can still punch & kick even with no limbs. So whoever believes taht is a down-to-right fool.

 

[killbeast301]

No, the idea is that no limbs looks stupid, in the same way that pokemon is gay, and nintendo is for 5-year olds. All of these statements are bull sh**, but but people make them anyway.

 

[Ralph_Marquee]

If Sukapon doesn't get in...then yeah, Rayman should be in. It all comes down to if Sukapon is in or not.

Oh yeah, McDonald's food sux.

 

[Lucina Clash]

I would like to see Rayman join. One of the funniest game characters, recent especially, with move variation that would work well.

I'm for it.

This crossing over would be... epic with Metal Gear Solid, Sonic the Hedgehog and Nintendo. Just... yes...

 

[Sandwich]

I like Rayman.
I like this thread.
This thread needs moar frontpage

 

[Jengs900]

Agreed. There are rumors going around the internet of a Ubisoft character making it into the Brawl. If this is true the top contender would be Rayman.

This may just be a rumor, but who knows. Rayman is the top character I want to see in Brawl... And I think he has a better chance than most of these people expect.

 

[SonicMario]

Are you sure those sites are reliable?

I mean, I'm not totally against Rayman. But it's just his popularity is well... mouse-to-elephant ratio compared to Megaman's fanbase. Do you know how mad they would be if Rayman got in and their beloved Megaman didn't? I couldn't imagine what they would do to Capcom.

 

[Trifas]

I think Rayman woyld fit Brawl perfectly
A moveset based on Rayman 3 would be fine, something like this:

Standart B: Punch Throwing
Hold to shoot further, if charge for some time it becomes Vortex.

Side B: Rocket Launcher (or something like this)
A guided missile Launcher

Down B: Throw his own body on the floor
This move is from Rayman 3 GBA version, would work similar to Kirby, Bowser or Yoshi Down B

Up B: Lockjaw
Similar to Zamus or Ivyssaur Up B

FS: Heavy Metal Fist + Super Helicopter
A combination of two of Rayman 3 abilities, increases Rayman power and allows him to fly

Also somethings he does in his games could become taunts, like the grimace, or play basketball with his own boddy.
He could do something similar to glide with his copter hair

Oh, Crazy Hand and Master Hand are both Rayman's hands (sorry for the awful joke, I had to do this one)

 

[wiimaster17]

Well. although his chances arn't to good, although I think he may have a small chance due to ubisoft being ultra friendly to nintendo with the wii.

His A attacks would be a bunch of kicks and punches.

B^: Helicopter hair, he would spin his hair and would damage anyone in the way, would be kinda simular to dk's up B move.

B>: Throws a plunger out, doesn't do to much damage but knocks back pretty far.

B: Rapidly tosses lums, little damage and knockback but can be used rapidly, a little slower then foxes blaster.

Bv: Disco dance, does a few dance moves and anyone who sees him is stuned for a little while, simular to mewtwos confusion.

His special: he would do his disco dance move then the player that was cought in it would start danceing as well and a bunch of bunnies would pop out of nowhere and start attacking.

here's mine moveset
B^: Helicopter hair: he would spin his hair and would damage anyone in the way, would be kinda simular to dk's up B move.

Bluger gun : uses pluger gun like in R.R.R.

B v : bunny : pulls a bunny from the ground simaler to peaches b v move

B <>: thunder ball : throws a thunder ball can be charged like samus b move

 

[bizybozo]

i just thought about it. - rayman has a good shot if their considering more than 3 third-party chars (which they are apparently)

- He's the mascot of the third party company.
- He's pretty retro - been around since '92.
- He's appeared on 4 nintendo systems.
- Ubisoft is a huge third party supporter of Nintendo, supplying tons of titles to help with the wii's launch, and continual support throughout 07.
- Ubisoft is a big third party company. Big.
- Visually and physically he's perfect for the smash world.

 

[Dolla Billz Don't Lie Nygga]

very good addition to Brawl...unlikely relative to other icons, though

 

[RenegadeRaven]

Not using his normal B move as his super punch is a crime, in my opinion. I don't even know if that's what it's called, but I remember it being his signature move in the original Rayman(the only one I've played). Holding down B charges it, the more it's charged, the farther it's launched.

I agree entirely, that's the first thing I think of when I hear Rayman!

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

I enjoyed Rayman adventure games, RR and RR 2 just settled him down a bit.

 

[Dolla Billz Don't Lie Nygga]

Yeah I had Rayman 1 for the PC. Excellent game. I was younger when I first played it so I badly needed a strategy guide to get all the cages. What's worse was that some of the cage in the PC version were in FAR different locations than in the Playstation version, so finding the right strategy guide was a pain in the *** as well.

Anyways, I got Rayman Anniversary Collection for PC which includes Rayman 2, Rayman 3, and Rayman Arena. I've heard good things about R2 and R3 so I'm pumped to play them.

 

[test-object]

Rayman would be a great add-on for Brawl. He's a typical Brawler since he's got all the moves; a helicopter, a fist, projectile lums,... and Rabbids as ATs are just a given.

I can see it happen easily since Ubisoft is so close with Nintendo.

 

[SonicMario]

But it is very doubtful. How popular is Rayman in Japan?

 

[Dolla Billz Don't Lie Nygga]

But it is very doubtful. How popular is Rayman in Japan?

...probably not enough

And curse those stupid-a** rabbids...

Rayman 4 Brawl

 

[Hotztuph]

Rayman would be awesome!!
only i think they should have more raving rabbids in his move set
like his FS could be a stampade of Raving Rabbids!!

 

[Sandwich]

Reasonable FS is reasonable.

Maybe we could have Rayman actually being attacked by the Rabbids along with it. They run around the screen, doing medium damage with lulzy attacks with some knockback?

In other words, King DeDeDe's FS, only less broken and more fun?

 

[Trifas]

Let's suppose that the Megaman not in Brawl thing is true. Does it make Rayman odds something near to high?

 

[Speedwobbles223]

The Rabbids are more pop0ular than Rayman :/

they only used him because ubisoft needed a slightly familiar name to get the series going.

 

[SonicMario]

There was a rumor that Nintendo was looking for a Brawl character in Ubi-soft. But I really doubt it's true.

 

[Dolla Billz Don't Lie Nygga]

Why does everyone like those ****ing Rabbids? Rayman was a solid platforming video game character and yet no one cares about that anymore.

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

I'd prefer a Rabbid.

 

[Dolla Billz Don't Lie Nygga]

...I rest my case.

 

[SonicMario]

I've heard that the Rabbids may be getting their own spin-off series without Rayman. So that may mean more Rayman platforms in the future. But expect to see Rabbid cameos or enemies in some levels. Ubi-Soft likes to put references to their own games. Some people are saying that the Rabbid's popularity almost match Rayman's own.

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

The Rabbid series has become much more popular. It's too bad that Rayman has declined, but Rabbid series has been very well received among Wii gamers.

 

[Dolla Billz Don't Lie Nygga]

Ok for the last time...screw the Rabbids.

Secondly, how has Rayman declined? Look up reviews for Rayman 1, 2, and 3...ALL good platofrmers. Even those idiots at GameSpot game them solid ratings. Only crappy Rayman title was Rayman Arena and it wasn't really "crappy" exactly, but just a mediocre foot-racing game.

 

[A Link to the Snitch]

RRR2 practically dropped him from the game, the stars are pretty much the Rabbids themselves.

 

[Dolla Billz Don't Lie Nygga]

That still makes no sense to me. If Raving Rabbis is just a party game then it has a plot, so why the hell would it drop the main character from a game in his own franchise? I'll be really pissed if this causes the end of Rayman platforming titles....STARRING RAYMAN

 

[Earthbenderjump5]

oh i will too.
if there are no more rayman games.
like the real platform ones like on 64.
i will be mad.
especially if the rabbids take over.
they have no chance of getting in anyways.
later on they might though.
though yes rayman def. for brawl.
oh geeze i think he is really.
i mean all the new rayman games for the wii and nothing else.
well was rrr2 on anything else?
but still i think he's in.
of course haha.
i dont think any other way.
hes bout to be in my sig.

 

[The Great Tama]

UbiSoft's mascot vs. Nintendo's mascot vs. Sega's mascot vs. Final Fantasy's mascot? Sounds like a way of life.

 

[Earthbenderjump5]

how does final fantasy's mascot get in here? he's not a almost character is he? more rayman.

 

[SonicMario]

Who is FF's Mascot anyway 0.o

 

[Got Blood?]

I'd rather have the Rabbids than Rayman.Rayman's platformers were decent at best,but the rabbids are awesome.Maybe not a pc,but maybe an AT.

 

[Earthbenderjump5]

no. you must leave.
got to a rabbid thread.
i hate those rabbids.
rayman will be playable though. :D
i heard it from my inner light.
my inner light is never wrong.
ever.
