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.
