Which is why Sonic never really should be looked right in the face, at least in SA 1 and 2. They made him work simply by designing his character over the past 10~20 years. Rayman has not seen much light as a 3D platformer, so his 3D model is only there for the oohs and aahs.
Not that there's much about Rayman lately. The only thing I found out is about Ubisoft's recent image change, specifically the Logo (coughwhichIdon'tlikecough). I wonder if something actually related to Rayman may be announced at this E3 alongside that change.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of the new logo myself. I like their intention (simplifying the old logo), not so much the execution.
:| EXACTLY! I said something similar in another thread when I showed the change. The previous Logo was pretty much recognizeable by itself (I mean, heck, they have had it since 2003), so, making it flat would have been perfect in my opinion instead of making that "similar" shape that looks really lazy in comparison. Also, why putting emphasis in the "O" that "appears" to be on the center of the new logo and the broken one on the logotype, when in the old one the "U" shape can be seen and it's more important because it is the initial letter of the Company's name. :/ But I guess they wanted to make it "from the ground up" because that's what has recently happened with other logos, one that I saw in a video, being the logo of Instagram, that also had depth/shade/ color and the evolved it into a WAY more simplified thing. But, I think Ubi just complicated things and made it look utterly incomplete.Yeah, I'm not a fan of the new logo myself. I like their intention (simplifying the old logo), not so much the execution.
Would have preferred something like Ubisoft Montreal's logo.
It'll probably grow on me to be honest. Not a huge fan of it, but what can you do?
:/ Good point there, but I will really miss the old one, I mean, I will keep seeing it even when the whole change is made in my games so...yeah. Well, the logo is kind of something minor, what we should be wonder is what Ubi has on store for this E3, let's hope it's worth it.
Emphasis in the "O"... Rayman has an O in his body.... NEW 3D RAYMAN CONFIRMED!!!! ok.. I stop xD.
They're pretty neat figurines, I'll give them that.Emphasis in the "O"... Rayman has an O in his body.... NEW 3D RAYMAN CONFIRMED!!!! ok.. I stop xD.
I don't like it, I prefer the 2 previous logos (the rainbow one being more nostalgic for me), but well I think I'll get used to it.
Have you seen those Rabbids figures/amiibos?
They seem to be very detailed for being amiibos, and the bases look big, maybe they're placeholders or just being made by Ubisoft (or just fakes xD).
I wish I could talk more about Rayman than the Rabbids, I hope that changes with the E3.
Btw, what do you think about a trilogy Remake of the first 3 Rayman? Something like the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, that would be awesome
XD Hahahahaha!...ha...ha... T . T I wish that was the case!
:< Me neither, when I first saw it I thought it was some sort of joke...but nope. Funny that the Support site and UbiBlog still have the old logo while the main site has it applied, I thought the change would have been done simultanously to everything Ubi has (and they even show them side by side), maybe after E3, the new image will invade it all. The rainbow logo despite having played R2 years ago, didn't remembered that much, it wasn't until 2006 that I got R3 that I saw it again, and still found it odd because I have had seen the old swirly logo for a longest time. =3= And yeah, maybe I will too, but in the meantime, I'm gonna laugh, xD Because someone did a 3D printed version of the meme of the Ubi poop logo.
Probably placeholders since they are prototypes. O-O Hm, good point, they look really good (I mean, the best Rabbid figs I have seen are McFarlane's, and some are 1:25 scale and they look FLAWLESS not surprisingly considering his quality in work). One thing for sure, the prototypes sometimes look way better than the mass produced thing, >_> Taking the most hilarious cases with the Smash Amiibos, Merth comes to mind. But there are other intances that the mass produced look just as good, like the Super Mario series amiibos ( Rosalina looks gorgeous).Have you seen those Rabbids figures/amiibos?They seem to be very detailed for being amiibos, and the bases look big, maybe they're placeholders or just being made by Ubisoft (or just fakes xD).![]()

I absolutely love how they're portraying Peach in this game.
There's rumors that not only will BG&E 2 will be on the Switch, but will be a one year exclusive.
I've heard those rumors, but honestly even as a Nintendo fan I think that'd be a wasted opportunity for Ubisoft unless Nintendo funded it.
Nintendo probably paid to have it be exclusive for one year. Assuming it's true, of course.
xD I laughed quite a lot with this! It's amazing!
Heh, it's pretty funny. Thanks for sharing!
He's not really associated with the Rabbids anymore though, so I don't feel like it helps his chances THAT much of at all.
If it's true I'd assume so, but still from a business perspective, I don't know if that's the smart way to go. PS4 has a massive install base that's kind of lacking content right now, Xbox1 isn't a hard transition development-wise and could only further their profits. This had been a highly anticipated game for quite some time now, I think releasing it exclusively on the Switch even with how rapid it's growth is, and with an extra payday is taking a gamble.
That's true. Sorry, I forgot about that!
I would argue Rayman's world is as much as an open canvas as the Rabbids themselves.
Good. And he had is own identity since the first four ones (that is including Hoodlum's revenge because it takes place after R3 despite looking a bit odd), but in Origins he recovered his independence from them, despite it making little to no sense to have been turned into a game that takes place supposedly after R3 and HR. When it comes to the little buggers, they are ok despite still being Ubi's cashcows, as long as they are not linked to Rayman again.
Dude, great artwork! I love the amount of action the poses have.This thread seems pretty quiet ATM, so I figure I might as well show this new idea I have for Rayman:
Neutral Air: Scoop Shot
To begin his NAir, Rayman performs a swift uppercut that raises victims upward a bit. The hit is sturdy and doesn't provide as much knockback as Rayman's fists normally dish out, but just as he finishes with this uppercut...
Rayman follows up with a strong jab to punch his target away! He fires off his inactive fist from the first drawing, curving it slightly and extending it a nice distance to blast foes in a slightly downward trajectory. The distance that he launches this fist from coupled with the speed makes this hit reliably strong, and while the knockback is downward-oriented the move is far from a meteor smash due to the slight curve of the shot.
Rayman's NAir is a 2-hit attack that has his uppercut provide the setup for his punch, as it potentially can scoop up foes beneath and in front of him so he can send them flying forward. Since he's attacking with his fists in this case, Rayman's delivering some decent damage and solid knockback--especially in the 2nd shot's case due to his hard-hitting nature; this means that many hits that involve his fists can be reliable for KOs, and while the move is performed quickly, Rayman has a touch of ending lag due to the 2nd strike. The ending lag is common among all his aerials honestly.
End of Concept
Rayman technically doesn't have a Neutral Air equivalent in Origins/Legends, since pressing the attack button while airborne will have him do a variety of attacks (at least 4 AFAIK), so I figure why not make one myself. Since he strings together a bunch of hits in those games I decided to use one and take it in my own direction. The uppercut above is actually what one of those random attacks are; I paused the game and re-drew it, but the 2nd drawing is something I came up with to be an add-on to the attack. So, credit for the 1st drawing goes to Ubisoft; the 2nd drawing and the concept of this NAir comes from me.
Also, since Rayman has a good moveset pool from Origins and Legends, I won't be making a Forward or Up Air; I might make a Back Air and I'll definitely do a Down Air because I'm tired of ground-pounds, and I'll do a Forward and Down Smash.
Thanks. It's so crazy how well his Origins/Legends moveset can be put right into Smash without much trouble. I think those 2 games alone made me start seeing Rayman's potential as a brawler and realistically I see those 2 games providing a lot of standard attacks for him. There's not really much needed to cook up a moveset since the work's been mostly done, and TBH that's actually a relief for me because it makes things much easier. I'm not surprised about the lack of activity though since summer's usually a slow time for games and we probably won't hear about Smash for a while, but maybe when Mario + Rabbids comes out this thread will have more activity.
Donkey Kong would fit very well in the Origins/Legends artstyle.
Great, I'm going to try it out.
That's great to hear. I still don't have a Switch but I'm hoping that enough new players buy the game so we can get a new entry in the series.
Images are broken, yet I can see them while I'm responding to this post.Advanced EDIT: The images aren't displaying properly. Just quote the post to see them.
Another quiet time for the thread...so I'm gonna show an idea if that's fine with y'all:
Down Smash: Split Punch
Rayman charges his attack by squatting and raises his clenched fists. As he does so, his feet lift from the heels and his torso stays slightly above the ground, with his fists and feet shaking the more the attack’s charged. It’s clear what comes next, and when Rayman’s ready to release it…
SssshhhROOOMFFf!!
Rayman unleashes a mean split that has him fire his feet along the ground! His sneakers skid outward as his torso plops onto the floor; the friction of his feet push violently along their trajectory, and foes who are hit by them trip toward the limbless wonder, particularly to his still-clenched fists. They don’t have time to react after being knocked inward, because in the SPLIT-second after Rayman launches his feet…
VvrrrROOOMMMF!!!!
He follows up by shooting his fists outward, blasting them further than his feet were and knocking away anything they touch! As his fists fly out his feet swerve back to him to avoid collision and shortly after the attack will end. This Smash is essentially a Double Split, performed first with his feet and then with his fists. As the feet fly outward, enemies are kicked by them and fall toward his fists, which immediately shoot outward to knock them back considerably. This means that the move can hit more than once if you’re unlucky, as the feet are merely a setup to prevent your escape from the follow up shot thanks to their hitstun. The splits are the 2 main things to worry about, but the transitions between them are also worth concern, because as Rayman performs the 1st split, his fists swing downward forcefully enough to disrupt you if you’ve avoided the feet…but were too close to the hands. The fists won’t do any damage at that point in the attack, but it won’t matter because you’re about to be launched by those same fists in a handful of miliseconds, making this a cold comfort. The same is true for his feet as they’re returning; if you’ve managed to avoid the feet during the 1st split but are still very close to them, when they swerve back to Rayman they can disrupt you, allowing the 2nd split to still do harm. The transitions cause no damage but their diabolical purpose is not to be dismissed.
The splits in general have different properties. When Rayman attacks with his feet, the flat surfaces of which are generally good for hitstun and decent damage, but his fists specialize much more in damage and knockback, so his 2 splits follow that ruleset. Charging the Down Smash affects the strength of Rayman’s feet more than his hands, which makes this Smash overall the weakest of Rayman’s because it’s focusing more on his lower bodyparts rather than his destructive fists. Also, this is his only Smash that doesn’t have him winding up his punch, so the damage and knockback potential is restricted compared to Forward and Up, but that doesn’t mean this move has no killing power–it does–but much less than his other fully charged options. This Smash Attack is merely strong, while the other 2 are absolutely deadly.
