Ahh, nice to see this place active. I thought it was all over after the leak, but looks like we got a chance. I have voted for Rayman, I got your back guys! <3

It's people like you that really give me hope for the future of rayman, we definitely have to be the most chill community on the boards, don't see anyone having salty fits anywhere.

Mind you, there were some folk after the leak that were VERY salty, making new accounts and making threads and all that... I remember there was this one guy that was going on about really nasty irrelevant things, kept making new accounts, and then made a thread flaming his old accounts and one of the mods said that he knew they were all his accounts... hilarious, to a certain extent.

Luckily, folk like this were just people jumping on the bandwagon. The real Rayman fans who have been here for months (or even years) are the beauty of this community. Keep it up guys! :D

All this art and I'm just...
[collapse=]

Accurate depiction of how I feel about 90% of my art.[/collapse]


Snake is more off the wall than a lot of Nintendo's own characters, you can't judge a book by its cover.

It's not like Smash is about bringing different characters together anyway, right? It's no weirder than Mario punching Samus.
I have nothing against the character, or the Metal Gear franchise. As I stated I thought his moveset was fairly unique.
but by that same logic, any edgy character should be able to get in, as it would be "off the wall"

Personally, I think the only reason Snake made it into brawl in the first place was because Kojima practically begged Sakurai through the series' entire life to put him into the game.. lol

While characters like Game & Watch, Duck Hunt, and Wii Fit Trainer are just as off the wall as he is. At least they mesh well.

As to Samus... whether she could be regarded as edgy or not, she doesn't even have a risk of ever being removed either way. She is iconic, plus she is protected by the "original 12" rule.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, back to Ray. I still think it would be cool if Ray ended up getting confirmed even before the end of the ballot.. like at E3 in a couple months.. As I still find Ubisoft's silence in all of this somewhat suspicious. In fact I've had suspicions since I first saw his trophy.. It all just feels so weird to me.

Exactly my thoughts. I bet they're not promoting the Smash Ballet because Sakurai is already working on Rayman.
However, let's not take this for granted. Keep on voting for our limbless hero!

I think it is more likely that Wolf is in the works right not regardless of the ballot. I still think Rayman would need votes.

Ubisoft's response to the fake Rayman leak a month ago was pretty fishy. They might have something in store for the character's 20th anniversary.

Well, the Rayman twitter page retweeted this this a while back but we need more official endorsement! I'm a bit late to the party but has anyone tweeted at Ubisoft/Rayman, etc?

It's sad how smash gets more support from third partys than the Wii U.

But somehow, I'm glad of it.

What's even more ironic is that most people were against the idea of more third parties in Smash Bros. And then we get Indies asking people to vote for their characters to join. Even the Super Meat Boy devs want their character in.

And they say "We'd Work With Nintendo If Meat Boy Made It Into Smash Bros."
Seriously..

:4darkpit: = Edgy

:snake: =/= Edgy


This is the last thing I'm going to say on the matter, as this is not the Snake thread.





Jesus, I woke up to 33 alerts today.

I kind of like this video. Another Rayman supporter it seems. Nothing big though.

Sorry for the double post, but I finally voted on the Smash Ballot.

"Rayman is a character with a 20 year long history. His games have been critically acclaimed and loved by many for just how goofy and fun they are. His lack of limbs and magic helicopter hair could make a great moveset. There are plenty of stage options for Rayman too. Also, Rayman has gained many supporters from a certain leak on the Internet. Most of all, one of my gaming dreams is to see Mario, Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man, and Rayman fighting in the same game. Please make this dream come true, Sakurai."

Nice 6500th message and nice reason!

Have to spend much time to know the results of the ballot.. but maybe we'll know something about Rayman in the E3 (Rayman for Smash or Rayman 4)

I was more thinking the spinning aspect of it. If we discount the possible flying moves (Up B, Up air, etc.), his Up-Smash could be similar to Juniors, and maybe it could be used for his Side smash as well.

I was totally thinking of this! I could see Rayman using his hair as an up smash and up b. I could even see him using to blow opponents away by angling his up b while grounded like in the 1st origins trailer.

Rayman being announced as DLC during that time would be the best early birthday gift to me. :)

Thats for sure. Hopefully it goes something like this:

-Wolf gets announced as DLC (So everyone will shut up about that XD)
-A surprise character(s?) gets confirmed to be in the works too.
THE GLADE MUST INVADE!!!!

I sent Nintendo and Ubisoft one yesterday. Then told Nintendo to add back Wolf, Snake, and ICs while they were at it.

Hey guys, I started a new thread on Ballot banners and blah blah, but the first one I made was Rayman and thinking of this thread and it's dedication, so here it is:


I'm not saying you have to use it, but it's there.

I wonder if Murphy would be a part of Rayman's moveset in some way, as a reference to Legends. He could tickle them and paralyze them in a way?

Rayman seems to have the most votes.
It's honestly one of the most nerve wracking aspects of this whole thing.

Various people in many different places are making their own polls to see who's doing well in the ballot.

On one poll, Shovel Knight is dominating for some reason, in the next it's the Kremling King, etc.


There's absolutely no way to get any real statistics.

Yep. Because we all know Sakaurai is sooo predictable-. oh wait. He isn't.

People need to realize the guy doesn't think in the same mindset as the average gamers. If he did, we wouldn't see characters like G&W, R.O.B, Duckhunt, or probably even Wii Fit if that were the case... The guy sees potential in things that others disregard as important parts of gaming, but wouldn't work as fighters, or choices that "steal slots from more deserving fighters"...

As lets not forget, He is still the head of the Smash project. He would go for whoever he thinks would be unique, will probably throw in a couple of requests... and then throw one of his usual curveballs at us. Causing everyone to start criticizing him for the decision saying the character sucks, then suddenly start loving the character years later.

I'm just happy he's doing decently. For every poll I've seen, he's usually around the top 15, he could be doing so much worse right now!
