Omni's track actually consists of the Rayman 2 theme and Rayman's theme from Origins melded together, if my ears are correct.

I still want a version without the voice clips, orchestral or not, regardless.

I'm curious how they will approach Rayman's music if he's added in. Will they go for the more recent games or will there also be a mix of the classics?

I think they'd try to make it a little diverse. A few tracks from the first 3 then a couple from Origins/Legends. As long as they don't go the Sonic/Pac-Man route and just remix like 2 songs.

The argument of "Rayman Legends not being Wii U exclusive ruins his chances" is silly. People need to view it from Ubisoft's perspective and understand business.

It's not economically feasible for a company to keep a mascot game on one console if said console isn't going to make them money. It isn't all of the 3rd Party companies faults that the Wii U hasn't sold up to expectations.

On the brighter side of things, adding Rayman would bolster the Video Game All-Star feel of the game imo. He's one of the next best in line now that they have the Top 3 3rd Parties they could have added. If Snake and Banjo get in somehow also, they can have all of my money.

Sonic has music from across his franchise (City Escape and Rooftop Run were hype), Pac-Man has a lot of old Namco music... Mega Man is mostly 8-bit medleys. Snake had Metal Gear music and music from a game that wasn't even out yet.

As long as the Rayman 2 main theme is in there somewhere, I'll be happy. Some sort of Rayman 1 medley would be amazing too.

Yeah, it's really a petty reason of an excuse for them to think just because Legends wasn't kept as an exclusive that he doesn't belong. He's been around for a good 20 years now and is relevant he does have connections to Nintendo more than any of other third parties that people are asking for. Rayman is probably the last mascot Video Game All Star to not actually be in Smash yet. I really do think that of any of the third party characters him and Snake are the only ones that would have a good shot.

The argument is irrelevant when you notice that Nintendo publish the Wii U version of Rayman Legends in Japan (the only other version Japan got was the Vita version, which Ubisoft published):

I can think of a few other good candidates, but who I think those are is probably already obvious... XD

But yep. I'd say Ray definitely has a big chance

It's always annoying to see people forget that Ubisoft supported the Wii U a great amount before jumping ship, which can't be said about a lot of other third parties.

This. They tried & the Wii U just didn't have a big enough audience for the amount of money they put into the Wii U versions, doesn't help that the people who own the Wii U own it only for exclusives (whether as their only console or secondary console).

I'm just as much of a Nintendo person as much as the next, but people need to understand that its good to have variety when it comes to Smash Bros. Which is why we have other characters from different companies. Though I'll admit we shouldn't go overboard with the third parties though we should just get the ones that are plausible. I think all depends on who it is at this point.

But it made matters worse, because Ubisoft released the game around the time when big games like GTA were coming out, not to mention many consumers pre-ordered the Wii U version, and bought the Wii U Just for the game, only to wait a year with no games, then to get news that they didn't need the Wii U in the firstplace.

I'm gonna agree that it shouldn't really effect rayman being in smash too badly though.

Yeah. I'm probably gonna get a bit of flack for saying this but..

that is probably a prime reason why I'm not really into the idea of too many vets getting back in as DLC.. I mean don't get me wrong! I love some of these old faces as much as the next guy.. and will especially somewhat miss Ivysaur and squirtle... but do people not realize how BORING it would be if we got nothing but Veteran fighters that have already been in smash before?.. and not even a single new face?..

As I have said in previous posts, the most I could see is another brawl veteran coming back.. (As we do have Doctor Mario and now Mewtwo back from Melee.. so why not another character back from brawl to accompany Lucas? Probably will be Wolf..)

Smash will never have enough waifus/eye candy for people, I'm afraid.
Heh, its far from just that my friend. The Shantae campaign has been thriving lately.. and it only continues to grow.

Maybe from the huge cult fan following the loyal series has? Plus from the big traction it's gotten from Wayforward's full support of the idea? At this point, its definitely gonna be a big race. I could list a huge pile of reasons why Shantae is a good character, and would make a good Smash addition, but this is the Rayman thread, and I don't want to derail the thread or anything like that! ^_^

I will admit her dancing is memorizing though...

Just to throw my two cents, she's more than just fan service. Think of her like Samus, despite her physique, she's quite the badass character and have amazing quality games.
Definitely. No reason to she should be downplayed like that.. Everyone has big chances, each with their own perfectly reasonable, and solid reasons. :D

Shantae is a pretty popular character in the ballot. I've kind of warmed up to the idea of Shantae being possible. She's not a personal favorite of mine but I wouldn't mind seeing her there just to see what her moveset would be like. I'd rather see her over Shovel Knight.

Shantae is a pretty cool character, I'm currently playing through the first game. She may be wearing revealing clothing, but there's a lot more to her character than that.

I don't even know who the heck Shantae is. I'd rather have Giana.

I think it'd be pretty cool if Nintendo made a special slot for an indie character or something. I can't imagine them having to go through a bunch of legal trouble to acquire one unlike a character such as Rayman. I'm probably incredibly wrong on that though.

Oh believe me, she has a lot to bring to the table... she would have an interesting moveset actually :)

Neither did I really, a few weeks back. I'd suggest popping over to the Shantae thread itself, or just do research yourself. The main reason you probably don't know who she is, is because she has always been one of those obscure Nintendo characters.. (needlessly actually). Her first game was on Gameboy Color, in 2002... around the end of the handhelds life actually, which caused it to see a limited release. She has only recently started to regain a foothold in the industry. (If 2010 is still considered recent anyway.. lol) I definitely think she doesn't deserve the obscurity she has. Her series is a good one.

Thats definitely moot at this point, with ever company in existance practically supporting their mascot's inclusions XD. Wayforward supports Shantae for Smash all the way.

I didn't mean to turn this into the Shantae Thread, it's just that I hear way to much about her on Miiverse. Yeah, she'd probably be a cool character, but she's surpassing Shovel Knight's level when it comes to Indie character support.

Yep.


Anyway I could go on and on about Shantae, as I have a lot of info on her. However that would probably completely derail the thread (which we are already starting to do XD)

So if there's ANYONE who is interested in who the half-genie is, check this thread here!

I don't normally like to post threads for other characters like this, as some can get a bit dodgy in regards to that sort of stuff, so I feel it would be much better if I just leave a link so people can read on that themselves, and so the thread doesn't fly off the tracks to sequin land

Anyways, I love the variety thats getting into the ballot. definitely a lot better than I thought it would be... *COUGH* SHREK *COUGH*

Rayman still has his chance.. for very big reasons. Many others do too. We can deny them all we want, but they're not going away. This ballot is going to be a fun one because of it. As much as I l love our limbless hero (I mean he is a big part of my childhood).. I can't deny we have some good faces showing up in all this too

Just saying, but with all this shantae and shovel knight support, commander video was the one to get a trophy

Their are quite a few parrelels to how banjo and bayonetta have a lot of support as 3rd party but rayman has a trophy.

Hmmmm...... I wonder what this is?

Oh. It's a sandwich! And look at what's on it!

A sandwich that has bacon, salad, salami, ham, turkey, and onions. That will take a LONG time to eat!
However, I'm starting to think that my cat Zorro wants it more than I do.

In fact, it looks as though he fears that the lamp wants a piece of it, so he's pushing it away.
Sigh. Cats are some of the silliest creatures that I know of.

Anyway, what do you guys think of my sandwich?

xD Haha, I'd be if I had such a tasty looking burger.

Darn, now I'm hungry... .u.
Well, since you live in Illinois and I live in Indiana, you can drive here for 4 hours if you want to.:bee:
In all seriousness, though, I'm planning on selling some of these rocks.
Namely, the sandwich, ocarina, and all of the others that I have yet to show you guys.
Not that I'm trying to advertise my works, but just telling you guys.

I definitely think she doesn't deserve the obscurity she has. Her series is a good one.
I would say the same for Giana. Her first game was on the Commodore 64, initially as the C64 equivalent to Super Mario Bros. Her second was a DS exclusive (later ported to mobile). Her third was on Wii U as well as PC, PS3 and XBox 360. She's not an exclusive but her games deserve much more players than what they get.
