OK guys, take it with a very small grain of salt, and it's a picture found by wildvine47 if you wonder ;



As you see, there is indeed the female Wii Fit Trainer...
But in two different poses.
Maybe Rayman could receive the same treatment ?
That's still straw grasping, but well, we know playable characters can have more than one trophy now...

I just pointed this out two posts ago.
I think that there could be something to it, but the very fact that he revealed Rayman the way he did just makes me think he's not playable. And yet we things like this that point to him being playable. I don't really know what to think.

But why have Rayman in the game at all? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, don't ya think. And he is one of the only surviving mascots from the 90's besides Sonic. Everyone else "died" off.

Man, I just cant wait til this game comes out in October and that what really matters:)

Was about to cry Slime, but realised that he's from the 80s...

Spero isn't exactly dead, he's on life support for sure, but not dead... I remind you that prior to origins we'd probably say the same thing of our limbless friend here thanks to the rabbid infestation...

But your point remains valid and I'm still confused as to what's happening with Rayman in Smash... I guess we'll get answers soon enough...

Didn't see your post, sorry.

Well, maybe WFT has different trophies for her poses, with description of those poses (you know, which muscles are being used for this or that).
We'll see.

For the Wii Fit Trainer poses, we know there are trophies of the Male and Female Trainers doing various poses.

I think with them, their trophies will literally just be them doing yoga poses, simply because you can't get much else out of Wii Fit for trophies (only exception being the Balance Board, and maybe a few peripheral items the Trainer uses in her attacks, like the ball and hula-hoops).

So I don't think it has much bearing on Rayman's case.

Don't forget the Fit Bank!

Well, Sakurai has officially proven that he will show something relating to a playable character without confirming the character itself.

If anybody ever tells you Rayman can't be playable because he was already shown as a trophy (Well, in the month we have until the game is released and we get the roster spoiled) just tell them that means Metaknight is a Mii :p

Off-topic, but I found this on DeviantArt.

It's interesting that he called Meta Knight by name.
...Meta Knight deconfrimed. :troll:

Yeah the rule saying that pronouncing a character's name disconfirms him doesn't hold anymore...
Or MK is cut.

sorry what... the Rabbids and Rayman need to keep separated at all costs... ALL COSTS
Or they could make them enemies in Smash Run.

Legends never got to deliver on the front of letting me beat up Rabbids in an actual Rayman platformer setting.

Making Rayman playable in Smash and making Rabbids enemies in Smash Run would be the next best thing.

My parents gave me Raving Rabbids back in 07 (or shortly after maybe) and I never played it.
There are a few games I never played because college just took up too much time as I entered it. Some Metroid Gamecube game is among these titles.
While I have no way of playing a gamecube game on my Wii U, the only system with me, I am happy to announce...

why the hell would I not play these older titles I just have laying around?

I thought fan-art would be considered off-topic, I'm glad you like it though.
@ JamesDNaux JamesDNaux If your going to put it in the OP, make sure you give credit to the artist.

It's good to have fan art here as they help build hype, and it makes the thread more appealing. The K.Rool thread for example has tons of pics in the OP, which reminds me...

Rayman Moveset

Overview:
Rayman, the limbless wonder, is a fairly balanced character with a variety of wacky moves. Due to his lack of limbs, he is fairly light, but to make up for his fragility, he has good recovery and some strong attacks.

Entrance:
A bright orb of light gathers and Rayman appears, just like his birth in Rayman Origins.

Costumes:
His costumes can consist from the many costume selection that he had in Rayman games such as the Rabbid party games, Rayman Origins, and Rayman Legends.

Unlockable:
1. Obtain all the boss trophies.

2. Play 850 vs. Matches

A-Moves:
A: Jab-Quickly jabs with one of his fist.* 3%-5% damage.

A+A: Double Punch-Hits with another jab with his opposite fist.* 6%-10% damage.

A+A+A: Combo-Does a kick “Spartan kick” that slightly knocks the opponent away.* 9%-13% damage.

Side A: Slap-He does a slaps anything in front of him (Rayman Origins/Legends).* 7%-9% damage.

Up A: Uppercut-He does a quick uppercut.* 6%-8% damage.

Down A: Leg Sweep-Performs leg sweep with his foot.* 5%-8% damage.

Dash A: Spin- He tackles and spins, making for a multi-hit attack.*8%-12% damage.

Smash Attacks:
Side Smash: Charge Punch- Charges his punch, but when fully charged, his fists turn red, spiky, and metal.* 18%-30% damage. (Yea, it’s strong)

Up Smash: Uppercut-Performs an uppercut.* 14%-17% damage.

Down Smash: Green Vortex-Creates a green vortex with his fists, making the opponent take multi-hit damage and face away from Rayman (Rayman 3).* 12%-24% damage.

Aerial Attacks:
Neutral: Spin Punch-His fists spin around his body.* 8%-10% damage.

Side: Aerial Kick- He kicks midair like in Rayman Origins/Legends.* 9%-12% damage.

Up: Chopper-Spins his hair around, damaging anything touching it.* Anything directly above him will be lifted higher into the air.* 3% damage per hit.

Down: Dual Kick-Kicks with both feet.* 8%-11% damage.

Special Moves:
Neutral: Energy Ball- Rayman shoots a small energy ball from Rayman 2, but it could also charge to increase damage output.*You can move around while charging your fists* 5% damage min, 20% damage max.

Side: Shock Rocket-Dons the shock rocket outfit from Rayman 3 and shoots a controllable, orange rocket.* It gains power but loses maneuverability with time.

Up: Helicopter Hair- A helicopter helmet appears on his head and it propels him upwards (yellow powerup can from Rayman 3). He rises for a while, and then slowly glides back down; kind of like G&W’s up special, but has more “control”.

Down: Shoe Shot[Explosive]-Rayman launches one of his shoes at his opponents and it travels quickly on the ground. It can be detonated to release an explosion, but it will also explode if contact is made with it. *Using this move will slow down Rayman’s running/walking speed until it is over, but he can still multitask.

Grabs/Throws:
Rayman uses his lockjaw powerup to grab (it can also be used as a grapple).

Hit: Shock[Electric]-He shocks the the victim.* 3% damage per shock.

Side Throw: Launch-He spins around to gain power, then throws the enemy to the side like a shotput.

Up Throw: Juggler-He flings the enemy into the air with the lockjaw.

Down Throw: Slam-He slams the enemy face-first into the ground with the lockjaw.

Taunts:
Up: Smiles and lifts his index and middle finger to form a peace sign.

Side: Sticks his absurdly long tongue out as in the Rayman series.

Down: Creates an small energy ball and admires it.

Victory Poses:
1. Performs a backflip, saying, "Yay! Go me!"

2. A bunch of red lums behind him ignites upwards and he has his hands are at his sides (Rayman 3)

3. Breakdances for a while.

Final Smash:
The Son of The Sun: The circle on Rayman's shirt start to glow yellow and a giant energy ball shoots out and smaller energy balls spread around the map(You may also move the "giant" energy ball up and down). Anything that touches it will stay shocked in the energy ball until it explodes sending the opponent flying. (Yes, this attack is made up and is not in any Rayman games, but I based it off of Rayman 2)

Globox’s Ship: Rayman calls for Globox’s help and Globox and his flying ship swoops in and picks Rayman up, controlling the ship to drop bombs and shoot lasers at enemies. (Rayman 3)

Stages:
Fairy Council: Buttons below the players’ feets could be pressed on to activate walls, like the ones used to stop the plum barrel that Globox was hopping around in from Rayman 3. Also, airships with hoodlums will start shooting at you from atop and could be popped to have enemy ground troops attack players. The airships could also be ridden on.

The Prison Ship: Players fight on a ship, and the boss, Razorbeard, could be fought at the crow’s nest of the ship after some time has passed. Stage destructions such as cannonballs and fire could occur. (Never played Rayman 2, but a Pirate ship with a conveniently placed boss seems like a good idea.)
Really creative! @ JamesDNaux JamesDNaux can you make a fan-created movesets section in the OP and add this?

Updated the thread with various things, changed the layout some to make it more streamlined. Suggestions are welcome!

Well, if anything, Meta Knight blatantly shows that a character doesn't have to receive the "BAM, character page, confirmation!" treatment to be playable, veteran or not. Ridley has a chance, Dark Pit has a chance, and Rayman certainly has a chance.

People should have learned a long time ago, "one does not simply predict Masahiro Sakurai."

The hopeful side of me is waiting for Rayman's proper reveal, and my less hopeful side still thinks he's perfect for DLC.
Four weeks remain guys, our patience will be rewarded. Just remain hopeful.

Ahh The good Old Rayman thread you guys still going strong and Nintendo Keeps saying Rayman is just a trophy And Matt Ryan Just made it sound like he's playable? Who Else Calls BS on that statement? there is no way a Head of Communications Marketing and Partnerships would screw up royally by saying Rayman there while talking ABOUT THE CHARACTERS NOT PLAYABLE IN THE DEMO! I'm Sorry Nintendo Has done this before with Rosalina So I feel Rayman has a really good shot now! Plus the Creator Said We might find out if Rayman can kick Mario's A** really Soon so come on Nintendo just reveal the guy already!

Add me to the Glade. I've loved Rayman games since the very first and looking at the OP I'm convinced that Rayman has a very good chance. And it's not like there's a rule on how many 3rd party characters are allowed in Smash.

Count Me in on this project too! I will gladly be part of the Glade!

Here is this great Rayman Move set vid I found

If we could get a boss character in like how the Yellow Devil drops in, who would it be? I nominate Mr Stone, Ninjaws or Reflux. They'd be great for a Boss Battles Mode.

If we got an Origins stage, I'd say this guy.

Though with Rayman 3 being my personal favorite in the series, Reflux would be awesome, if just for his boss theme alone.

So I got to play Smash 4 (both versions) at Festigame 2014 (the Chilean equivalent of E3) yesterday.

One thing I tried out was Smash Run, and when you finish playing and win the match, you're rewarded with random trophies. The trophy I got for winning was one of Luigi, but it wasn't of his "falling down" pose he uses for his main Smash 4 pose. Instead, it had him wielding Poltergust and the trophy's name was indeed "Luigi (With Poltergust)".

This definitely adds to the fact that playable characters are getting multiple trophies, so the pose Rayman has in his revealed trophy may not be his main pose assuming he is indeed playable.
