It's surely possible. Most things could be possible.
I meany whole theory is Rayman could come with more Rayman character themed miis rather than other Ubisoft costumes. Maybe they wanna do more than one third party per presentation on miis so they did a few early so we wouldn't have an overflow of only Ubisoft miis when he's revealed? Speculation purely but eh.
I bet there were dozens of people who were certain he'd never be playable, but flipped the moment he got announced and acted like they always knew he'd be in the game. Freaking bandwagoners...
I understand why the 'flipping,' as you describe it, is potentially annoying.
Hell even I thought Ridley had no chance at all until he was added, but definitely wasn't mad when he was announced!
I think Rayman would overall have positive reception. Back when the fake Rayman leak happened people were hyped and it was trending all day the next day even when announced fake. I don't expect much negative reception besides a few haters but every character has those.
IIRC, Ancel's mentioned wanting to work on a new Rayman game after BG&E2, so I feel we're still some time away from a new game should it come. Still, pretty nice! I might as well check this out when it's streaming.
As long as it isn't 50% Tom Clancy, 40% Just Dance and 10% other stuff, I guess. I have no idea what they could possibly show. At this point they're just here to maintain their attendance record.
While I'm hopeful for Rayman's smash chances, it's a whole different story when it comes to expecting a new game. I wish I could say we might but I've been burned by these Ubi presentations one too many times
Let’s look at it this way, with the Rayman Trademark renewed but Beyond Good & Evil 2 not even finished (yet). Rayman 4 or anyother Rayman related game won’t be coming soon, but I still believe it’s a Great Thing because this only bodes insanely well for Our Goal Finally being Reached of Super Smash Bros Ultimate X Rayman DLC as that’s the first step of getting Rayman Popular again and than as the DLC Character is added to the Roster than the Support officially kicks off for More Rayman 4 Demand.
I don't know if the trademark renewel necessarily means smash, but considering the trademark was renewed last year and they only gotta be renewed every 5 years, it's definitely gotta be something!
Yes it could be nothing, but to make a fair counter point we have seen this exact same scenario play out with the Banjo-Kazooie Trademark Renewal at the exact same time that occurred with both Banjo-Kazooie Trademark renewed in October/November 2018 vs Rayman Trademark renewed in October/November 2019 which both instances coincidentally are the same times Sakurai confirmed that the rosters we’re finalized by Nintendo in each case. It’s a weird but factually accurate points to take into account, what’s even more so is that the description of these trademarks (TEAS REVOKE/APP/CHANGE ADDR OF ATTY/DOM REP RECEIVED) than followed up with (ATTORNEY/DOM.REP.REVOKED AND/OR APPOINTED) indicates that there has been a deal struck with the Rayman IP between Ubisoft and with a 3rd-Party (ala/Another Gaming Company and/or a Merchandising Company). It’s the exact same with Banjo-Kazooie as it had the same Trademark description that was pended from November 2018 to Approved on June 10, 2019, a day before Banjo & Kazooie’s Reveal at Nintendo’s E3 Reveal
Yeah that's 100% GameFAQs lol. Personally I don't particularly like Jigglypuff or Pichu but honestly I forget they're in the game. But that's just how I go about it I guess.
Oh damn, I didn't even realize that, I'll definitely look into it then!
I gave up on gamefaqs long ago, I feel like they have mobs that hate all kinds of characters
You know what the kicker is? There is now a meme about every character being hated by some people, called "Everyone hates everyone", defined as follows:
Some days I'm just glad I never run into any actual Smash fans in real life. The only reason I even use GameFAQs now is for its actual intended purpose: looking up games and their strategies.Within the online community, every character on the roster has some group of people that hates them(even the characters that aren't that good), which naturally led to jokes exaggerating this by claiming nobody in the community actually likes anyone.
My god. This could be a multitude of things but it definitely makes sense for this to be related to Smash.
Yeah, that Rayman show news was reported on October of last year, so it could be for that. We will have to see.
Did they ever confirm if that was a Rayman show or a Rayman inspired show? Kept seeing sources go back and forth on that
Actually theres a bit of a counter argument to this as the Rayman IP was used on Mad TV (Animated version) in the Episode titled "The Adventures of TaunTaun / Everybody Loves Rayman" but looking into the Trademark History there’s no mention of Ubisoft lending the Rayman IP in 2012.
"Based on Rayman" is what was said and that's vague af. Despite that, the way I see it: If we're talking of the series IP, the copyright should probably matter regardless. If we're talking just the character, it depends on whether Rayman makes any appearance in the show, it could even be a brief cameo and I feel that copyright would still apply.
Ah, a true classic. But this is supposed to be parody, therefore it falls under fair use and does not need an agreement, and why Mad, and to a greater extent, stuff like Family Guy or South Park get away with using these copyrighted characters all the time, and is also a reason why Rayman looks so stylized rather than looking like well, Rayman.
Yeah like ZoroCarlos stated, parody is fair use and no copyright deal needs to be made, though you might be right about a different studio would be making the copyright rather than Ubisoft so I'm not sure.
Yeah that's what I'm thinking, this trademark could apply to the show, but at the same time it all depends on whether the show actually features Rayman or it's only Rayman inspired. That's a huge factor in it
I checked the trademarks of Rabbids, Watchdogs & Far Cry regarding that particular Trademark filing and none of them say they were renewedwith the same trademark as Rayman nor for any mention of 2020 or prior similar to Rayman’s renewal, as those shows have been announced with Rayman but none of them have those Trademark filings with Rayman. Again take anything with a Grain of Salt but by the looks of the information I looked into, none of them seem to indicate similar circumstances with Rayman
So far nothing said it was related to Rayman, just be "lel wacky" like the UbiArt duology. I wouldn't even hold my breath on it being a Rayman cartoon at all.
Rayman Amiibo to go with my Super Smash Bros Ultimate X Rayman DLC Pack
My hype thrusters are already going and I can't shut them off
It’s more based on Speculation of a similar track record of dealings and trademarks based on awaiting the reveal of the product. Banjo-Kazooie’s trademark and Rayman’s Trademark seems to be identical of one another as both IP’s have been trademarked on a 8 to 9-Month time table with pendings that doesn’t match up with Merchandising but with a Secret collaboration with the 3rd-Party Collaborator
I mean, where do you find this specific trademark information ? The "TEAS REVOKE/APP/CHANGE ADDR OF ATTY" things, the dates, etc.
Have a look at the Rayman trademarks (https://trademarks.justia.com/745/60/rayman-74560812.html) vs Banjo-Kazooie Trademarks (https://trademarks.justia.com/752/97/banjo-75297133.html).
Like I said in the tweet, I don't think it really hurts his chances but it doesn't really increase them either, it's really neutral
It could've been an edit of this render:
Yeah, If we had a HD Photo resolution app on our IPhones we could try to see if it’s fake or realIt could've been an edit of this render:
It's the one that looks the closest to it that I know. But otherwise, I'm not sure, I haven't seen it elsewhere either. It looks pretty nice so if it is edited it'd be cool to see it non-blurry.
We never got a clear photo of it, but considering how long ago it happened, I doubt it's real. If it was it would have happened by now considering when this was "leaked".
