Well, I haven't posted here in a while.

I've been creating some crappy Miiverse artwork.




I've also been living that life I have outside of Smashboards.

This is how Rayman legends would look. Or more than likely how it would ;

Rayman 3 designs here

While Rayman 3 is my all time favorite for Rayman ever, I'd just be glad he's there lol
In some way, I think a Brawlified Rayman design would look rather...dull...in color compared if he was in Smash 4 color style. Would have liked if he had a bit more of his strawberry ness in his hair.

But still nice to see the R3 model used.

I'd actually love to see a proper Legends/Origins 3D model one day. The trophy one isn't a proper one imo.

Maybe it's a PLACEHOLDER?!....... nah, I'm digging way too deep into it, but still, gotta keep the speculation alive.

Hmmm, the problem I see with the Legends/Origins design is that it was clearly meant to be only seen from a 2D perspective. It just doesn't look right in 3D, while R3 does a much better job at that.

If Rayman does get in, I wonder if they'll alter his trophy design altogether. Or maybe they'll just use Rayman 3, but that's just my wishful thinking.

Once again, eaactly what I think. I just see RO/L design is mostly a 2D thing, and R3 is something I would die from. But most likely, they'll just find a way to use the Legends design most likely.

This is probably sort of right though. I doubt that if Rayman gets in they'd use that model. they'd build him from the ground up.

You are right yet again. :)

But, just like we said before, as much as we like R3's appearance, it doesn't matter which one they use in Smash, as long as he's there, some fans will be happy. I, myself, I wouldn't it take any importance whatsoever, since I don't want the game, but I will keep focusing on him in the meantime while I still work in my personal projects, it is either drawing or writing.

You're right as well. Of curse, it doesn't matter, it would be fine for the fans.

I'd only die from a "HD R3 Rayman" model for personal use and such, but, I'm already making one so, again, it doesn't matter all the same.

Rayman: "Master...do I really have to do this?"

Shay: "Yes."

Rayman: "B-But...why?"

Shay: "So you can see the truth behind this bird, that unless you were a corpse, it won't take your eyes out like it is commonly said."

Rayman: "But-!"

Shay: "Just pat it in the head a little, you saw that I could take one of its feathers out and the raven didn't attack me. Come on."

Rayman: "Oh...Polokus."

Just a random doodle after doing some research on ravens, they are awesome.

Nice job. I like the feather in Shay's mouth. Nice touch.

I can already imagine Rayman having so much trouble learning the ways of the Assassin/Templar.

I can already imagine what Ubisoft was thinking:

Employee: So, uh.... how should we represent the Rabbids in this version of the logo?

Boss: Just have someone shoot him.

Employee: Sounds good enough.

I honestly could watch the gif for hours and not get bored of that part xD

So the Facebook group of Smash Bros is asking who you are voting for in the Smash Ballot.
Now is a good time to let them know! or spy to see how Rayman is doing on them or try to get them to join us c:

Rayman is overwhelming the Dutch group which is great news!

Seems like the support for Rayman is getting bigger and bigger by the second. That's great to hear!

Imo, hearing Dutch having a thing for him is pretty neat to hear about. Hope more comes Rayman's way.
This might be a surprise but in the Netherlands (Belgium, Germany and France as well) Rayman was and is pretty huge
You could ask basically anyone if they've heard of the Rayman games and 90% they'll say yes. And it's not that they react like: 'oh the bunnies?' no they react like: 'That great latformer game with the guy without limbs and a great soundtrack?'

That's honestly really great to know that Rayman is still very much loved around his "homeland", that really does help him when it comes to the ballot in the long run.

Strangely enough The Netherlands has always been kind of a second homeland for Rayman. getting many country exclusive behind the scenes stuff and even a full game that never saw the light of day in other countries (well not exactly that is).
Rayman 100 levels being that game http://raymanpc.com/wiki/en/Rayman_100_Levels it was Rayman by his fans bundled with Rayman 60 levels and featured some making of Rayman 2 clips as well as concept art.

the weird thing is that the game only released in the Netherlands while the box also has Frnech text on it and you could put the in game language to English, French, Dutch, German and Spanish

You know, Europe has always gotten the short end of the stick in that not only do they lack a major console manufacturer, but they also get their games very late.
However, one would be wrong to say that they haven't influenced the industry. Ubisoft, Mojang, Crytek, Rare, and Rockstar are some of the biggest names in the industry.
Putting Rayman in Smash would help give Europe the recognition that they deserve.
Of course I love Rayman for being the cool platforming hero that we have all come to love. His design could bring even more diversity to the roster.
I just feel it would be a great thank you to the European gaming industry.
