Rayman: Hero of the Glade of Dreams - The Great Escape

[Rayman4Smash]

For the specials,
Neutral B is the Charging Uppercut.
Side B is the Punching Rush thing I forget what its called.
Up B is the Helicopter Kick since it has the word helicopter in it :L
Down B is the Headbutt Ground pound.
I forget what the equipment is but he's 2/3s Speed and 1/3 Power in the little stat circle thing.

Even if he's not playable at the moment, those moves does sound very Rayman-esque if you ask me.

Anyone else getting a little tired of SSB4 since its going to be awhile since we actually hear some real news from Nintendo?

I haven't even gotten my copy yet. But still, I get your point. I felt the same way with Sonic Boom and Sonic in general, and I still do.

Speaking of which, the only news Rayman related we've been hearing all day is the new versions of Fiesta Run, which is another Christmas update, and already I'm sick of it. I wish that they went ahead and announce a new Rayman game for next year.

What they really should have done with most of all the games is probably go all 3D(my opinion lol), but in perfect HD, similar to Zelda U, I still cant believe they haven't made a 3D Kirby game with HD yet, It would be amazing if Mario, Kirby, Rayman, etc got 3D games, but with newer models, really hate Raymans old 3d model, the space in the middle of his 2 locks of hair doesn't seem right.

I still want Happy Mask Salesman in SSB4 but it'll never happen, the creepiest and most mysterious characters from Nintendo are always the best characters...

Which one? The Rayman 2 or 3 model?

2

 

[Rayman4Smash]

Don't worry. If they do make a new 3D Rayman, I highly doubt that they would go with R2's model. More likely to be an updated version of Rayman's Origins/Legends look, but somewhat less goofy looking.

Is it coincidence that I also made a Happy Mask Salesman support thread? Stalker.

It brings a tear to my eye when people legitimately want him.

Hopefully they use the model with the 3D rayman for the SSB4 trophy for real Rayman game material and make another 3D Rayman game, a perfect Rayman model like that really shouldn't go to a waste if Ubisoft is just going to give it to Nintendo and not use it.

Some Smashboard moderator skrub was calling me a wench, bad words, etc just because I mistook and forgot the metagame thread I posted on was actually a metagame thread, I was posting something about link's nairs being amazing, then I was watching a video, and I wanted to post if I should switch my main into link or sonic because like I said, I was watching a video, I forgot I was on the metagame thread and I thought it was the social thread, then this new moderator went all on fire and told me to stop whining about tiers, some moderators take things too seriously, its not like Sakurai himself is going to look at what smashboards even is, it makes more sense if you see it yourself: http://smashboards.com/threads/links-metagame-discuss-strategies-and-techniques-here.379659/page-5

I was spying on a different account (W O N D E R) to start a fresh new account I was also acting like someone new, but I really haven't even looked at the rules yet, since most of us haven't even seen it either, not to mention its pretty pointless, not that much news to go on about SSB4, meaning posting wont be as much, etc. The only thing I just learned was that double posting is bad(from JamesDNaux).

Wow, harsh much

 

[Golden Sun]

Wow, harsh much

it's crazy how moderators act like(just some of them, not all of them).
I got pretty nervous and scared when I first seen the word "cry".

im probably going to see someone PM the moderator to come here and see what I posted in the future, but hey, they aren't the boss of me in these forums and not in the link forums.

BTW, I really hope Wolf keeps his same jacket thing costume since in brawl, just some normal armor wont give him any "scary" feeling to me, Wolf to me is like Snake but in a Starfox version.

I think you'd do better to report them for misconduct. A moderator should not act like that, they are supposed to be reprimanding people who do. I just love how everyone in the Link forum apparently has a superiority complex, it's sad, since Link is one of my favorite characters, though I had never looked in the boards much.. Him calling you a scrub was just a **** move though.

But I wouldn't drop a character and pick up one that's "better," it's about learning how to be better with your character.

Anyway, we should really get back on topic.

 

[Rayman4Smash]

I know you guys said that we talked everything related to Rayman, but what about Palutena's Guidance about him? I would like to think up a lot of funny things they might say about him, such as Pit mistaking him as an Eggplant Wizard minion or a Mega Man character. They could make some references to Legends like pointing out that he's over 100 years old. Anything you could think of for them to say?

I could see them making a jab at Polokus, mentioning the fact that a god who could dream up anything he wants could be deadly.

Naturally, I think they should start by thining Rayman is a bad guy, because he looks so different from the norm. Then Palutena reminds Pit that Rayman is actually a noble hero who won't stop at anything to save the day and points out that the lack of limbs makes him an even more flexible and unorthodox fighter.

However, I can also see them just using the DLC speech that they found. Hey, if Medusa ever gets into this game via DLC and they don't even bother doing anything for her, I don't see them doing it for Rayman or any other character.

 

[Rayman4Smash]

One funny thing I can think of with Rayman is that Palutena points out that he too gets 'defeated' from time to time, just like Pit, but the only difference is that he never says "I'm finished", poking fun at Pit at the same time. Rayman's trophy also states that he doesn't have time for Game Overs, so I can imagine them saying something similar to that effect in the Guidance.

There's a reason for the title!

We'll be going full force, and hoping for more Rayman in general during the year.

I hope that Ubisoft announces something Rayman related for E3 2015. This year was a complete disappointment on their part at E3. Unless they do, I'm not going to bother watching them next year.

Rainbow Six: Seige was a nice surprise. But yeah I agree their E3 was lackluster to say the least.

I was more concerned about any Rayman related news that they didn't announced this year. I'm not too fond of the other titles announced.

 

[JamesDNaux]

I rather wonder how far along Beyond Good and Evil 2 is, Ancel has been pretty quiet about it.

Although I'm more concerned with the 3D Rayman demo they made and apparently scrapped, Ancel said that he wanted to make a new game that's more exploration and story oriented, like Rayman 2 was...

Ancel is currently working on WiLD, so he may be taking a break on that or he's still developing both. I do remember hearing that BG&E 2 is still in development. Speaking of which, I got to check that game out one day.

I'm concerned about the 3D Rayman prototype as well, since their reason for scrapping it was that they believed there was no more interest for Rayman on consoles. I really want a new 3D Rayman, I love Origins and Legends to death, but the 3D games are what made me a fan.

That's Ubisoft logic at its finest. They believe that since Rayman won't sell good on consoles anymore they went ahead and canned the 3D project, as if delaying Legends to release it around GTA V wasn't a smart enough move on their part already. If that's the case, the only thing Rayman related that we'll be seeing is more updates of Rayman Fiesta Run. I swear that Ubisoft has been getting on people's bad side one too many times lately.

 

[ShinyRegice]

As today was the last day to download Rayman Legends from the eShop with a reduced price (I waited until today because I have other games to play as well) I bought it from the eShop and from what I played I really liked the game! It surprised me how Rayman's attacks are designed like in a Super Smash Bros. games, they would covers most of his A-moves, and his down attack in the ground (or in Smash terms, down tilt) looks like it would burry enemies at high percentages; iirc only down Smash and back/forward air are missing something to take from. Special moves would be mostly taken from Rayman 2 and 3 IMO, while grab would be the chain from Rayman 3 and act as tether reconvery.

I'd love to see a plum as a up special move! Rayman would summon a plum under his feet and making it bounce upward, it would stop to rise when Rayman jumps or after a set amount of time, damaging any enemy touching it when it falls (thus it could potentially inflict a meteor Smash), then the plum could be trown as an offensive item or used as a platform. That would be awesome!

Yeah, I'm not really a fan of Ubisoft nowadays.. The only reason I have them in my name is because it represents the Ubisoft I once loved.

I would personally have the Super Helicopter as his up special, though I would love to see a plum incorporated into his moveset.

Rayman actually had a sweep kick from Origins that would fit better as a down tilt, while his ground slam would be a better smash. If you quickly turn around in the air and attack, he also has a different animation, so his back air is also covered.

His grab would just be him reaching with his bare fist at a long distance, most likely. It'd be a good fake out as well.

In the OP, I made the plum his down special, similar to Pac-Man's hydrant. It has spiked fruit and powder keg variants as customs.

 

[Rayman4Smash]

Happy New Year everybody! Now that 2015 is finally here, we should look forward to any news relating to Rayman and his 20th anniversary.

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

LET THE YEAR OF RAYMAN BEGIN!!!

 

[JamesDNaux]

It started with a trophy, and now we've come to another milestone. May we see Rayman playable in Smash yet!

 

[HotNTasty]

I dont know if it was discussed in his moveset, but have we thought about what extra abilities he might have? I personally see him as being able to crawl and Wall Jump, but not wall cling. Any others Im missing?

[Rayman4Smash]

I'VE GOT IT! I JUST GOT SMASH BROS WII U TODAY! Rayman trophy, here I come!

 

[LunarDistortion]

I still find it strange that Ubisoft just happened to have an HD 3D model of a character that has been primarily 2D for a while now just lying around, which eventually went to Sakurai who had asked to use a third party character as a trophy. I think something's going on with Rayman.

Anyways, sign me up for a supporter. I'd love to see this guy get in.

 

[ShinyRegice]

JamesDNaux mentioned this in the OP, but he could have the special ability to glide.

Not exactly glide, due to the mechanic being cut outside of special moves, but it would decreasing his falling speed a lot, most likely by pressing the jump button once again after using the mid-air jump. I don't know if he would be able to switch freely between those two falling speeds by pressing the jump button... he can do it in his games, but maybe it would give him an unfair advantage in Smash.
I always viewed Rayman as a fast-faller, especially to emphasize the speed difference between regular and helicopter falling, and playing Rayman Legends definitely proven my point. Seriously, he's probably the fastest faller I've ever seen in any platform game (besides maybe jump mode Shulk in Smash). I could see Rayman's regular falling speed being similar to fox and his helicopter one reducing it to be slightly slower than Jigglypuff's.

Also did anyone thought about the posibility of Rayman's representation being based mostly in Origins and Legends, much more than the 3D games? Like having a stage coming only from those games, as almost all Rayman musics, and most references to 3D games being some of his moves (most notably the specials) so he wouldn't feel like a generic brawler who can only punch and kick. Considering they're the only games acknowledged by the Rayman series trophies, honestly it wouldn't surprise me, not to mention that Pac-Man and Mega Man are mostly characterized to represent a specific part of their history, respectively the very old arcade games and the classic series, with the only reference to Megan Man's successors being his Final Smash (plus their respective trophies).

Though it would suck a lot if Rayman representation doesn't have references to 3D titles at all.
