My opinion stands on this. I'm indifferent if Shantae or any third party character gets in before Rayman gets confirmed, it honestly doesn't matter if Rayman is first, it only matters that he get's in, no matter how long it takes. If he doesn't become playable, period, despite having a physical space in Smash, that's where I'd draw the line. Unless it's a business thing, and nothing could be done to make Rayman playable without copyright/ other unknown business reasons, than that's all I can say, it is what it is. But if not after all the publicity to "vote for Rayman" from Ubisoft and they said, no, or Nintendo says, no, then that's where I'd call BS, especially if it's on Ubi's part more.
