Rayman (kinda) confirmed for Smash Bros. - VOTE Rayman

[Raymanni]

It is also important to say that these characters are DLC that is unrelated to ballot (since they were not the top 2 most voted) so that means even more characters will come

Wasn't Roy super popular in the Japanese ballot?

[OCG]

He was I think but I don't think Ryu was.

[Bradandez]

Really? Well, at least we have two competitors dropped from this ballot.

[GrandKittymus]

Not saying Bayonetta had a chance, but I don't think the creator would be too happy about having her in Smash.

There's another popular choice out...I think. Rayman's getting there.

[Bradandez]

Oh yeah, that's one reason I use against these pervs trying to vote for this bobasious character.

I agree wholeheartedly.

That's also why you don't spam official twitter/FB/other social accounts for Rayman, because it's meant to be for official announcement. It's not a damn AMA channel.

Even if it was not completely professional, you can easily understand why the guy was pissed off.

Bayonetta doesn't seem to fit in the Smash genre in my opinion (but oh well they put Snake in it so why not?)

Haha, classic Kamiya

That's exactly how I feel every freaking time people say she would be great in Smash. I fail to see why people (I should say perverts) have a die hard desire to have her in SSB.

[Keane]

I'm always a bit 50/50 on Bayonetta, I can never tell if the character is just fanservice or "showing women aren't reduced to objects when appearing sexy", and most people seem to feel either of those two things. Regardless, I do know there's an inevitable following based around her appearance, and while I'm convinced there's plenty dudes who would be all in for fanservice in Smash, I can't help but wonder how it feels to be so desperate that you want to see boobs in a Nintendo game.

Especially when there's free porn out there 24/7, which makes me wonder why the fuck there's even a desire for sexualised anything in any non-porn media in the first place.

[Bradandez]

Uh huh...

There's also that Tharja trophy which was scrapped because it would have made the rating of the game go up. So if a trophy of a sexy character isn't going to make it in, what makes them think Bayonetta would?

^ this.

Rayman honestly has a pretty big chance to get in if you ask me. He's doing good thanks to that cocktease of a 'leak'.
Such a shame Ubisoft won't celebrate his 20th though.

[DandyGuy]

I doubt Rayman is going to make it in at this point.

[OCG]

Why do you think so? Smash Ballot is still going on and we don't even know who won there. Rayman was relatively high on list too.

[DandyGuy]

He definitely places in the top 10. I believe the list for top 3 were,
1. Banjo & Kazooie
2. Shovel knight
3. Shantae

Such a shame Ubi-Soft doesn't even have a 20th anniversary for him.

[OCG]

Banjo & Kazooie will never make it in since they are Microsoft characters. Heck Banjo-Kazooie games are not even on eShop despite Microsoft saying they wouldn't mind Banjo in Smash and Nintendo still technically can republish the games they once published in past despite not owning IP. Same how Sony can publish older Crash titles even to this day.

[NyaNyaLily]

Let's just wait until gamescom :c

[Bradandez]

Why is everyone on the internet freaking stupid? Banjo Kazooie may have started on Nintendo platforms, but they're first-party characters that belong to Microsoft. Good luck with that. Also, Shovel Knight is way too new and has no real potential. Only one I see making it in is Shantae, but even so.

[Rayfist]

Rayman being in Smash I see being quite realistic in comparison to other characters.

I wouldn't mind Bayonetta but it's so blatantly obvious she'd never make it in. It's the same argument with people who want Travis Touchdown in Smash. They're both M rated characters. You can argue this same logic with Snake since MGS games are M rated, but Snake doesn't swear excessively or dress rather skimpy, that's the problem.

[Raymanni]

I thought that King K. Rool was in the top 3.
