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

[sonicbrawler182]

That...looks like a completely different model...which makes things even more suspicious.

It could just be an updated model, but it fits in with the playable characters much better. And Smash does have different trophies of some characters. In fact, Melee had a "Smash" and "Classic" trophy for each character.

Eh, probably doesn't speak for him being playable.

This is so annoying, just confirm if he's playable or not already, Sakurai. :c

Ubisoft posted edited picture.

He doesn't look High as fuck now.

[Haruka]

Thank you, Ubisoft. Rayman looks MUCH better now.

The complaints must have been so numerous that they were forced to change the face's facial expression. The problem is that I agree with what everybody was saying: he did look like he was on drugs.

It's from twitter @raymangame

Interesting, that definitely is an improvement. Though it's a bit distant, so I can't really see much to scrutinise.

[OCG]

One thing that bothers me though is why is picture so low quality?
Could it be that since it was posted on Rayman facebook page that someone modified model just for fun and that Sakurai is still keeping old one?
I wonder why didn't Sakurai post updated model.

[Dart]

Accidental post? Only problem with that idea though is that unless you would still need to type in message, unless they have prewritten messages.

Facebook has shitty image compression, so that's why it looks really bad, resolution wise. It even messes up the original trophy photo when you re-upload it to Facebook:





Top is using a Facebook URL, bottom is the Miiverse one.

That is funny! I'm looking up Japanese news sites to see if they say something about whether he will be playable or not. Nobody knows yet. As for the model, Sakurai said on his Twitter account that he thought Ubisoft would send him a shitty 2D model from Rayman Legend but they did send a never-seen-before 3D model! He was really surprised and glad.

[Master]

I don't think he said quite that, he stated that he'd thought they'd share 2D references.

[OCG]

Thats how English staff of Nintendo translated on Miiverse. Maybe origial text was different.

[sonicbrawler182]

I did an analysis of sorts about this new conundrum, over on Smashboards:

I don't think he said quite that, he stated that he'd thought they'd share 2D references.

I added the "shitty" and wrote "model" instead of "illustration". Yup, I'm such a liar, spreading rumors and shit.

[Bradandez]

I kinda like the original face more. Odd man out I guess.

[Adsolution]

The edited picture looks weird as fuck, it looks more like a terrible Photoshopping than it does a model edit. I like the original far more.

[Raymanni]

The next "Manipulate the image" should be the Rayman trophy.

[Bradandez]

Sorta relevant, I think this would be the perfect kind of moveset for Rayman.

[sonicbrawler182]

I actually am thinking about making my own video, but it wouldn't just focus on Rayman as a character, but accompanying elements like stages, music tracks, and an item or two.

My idea for how Rayman would function as a fighter is also a little different than that guy's (though his is fine too), and I found a way to make him realistically balanced yet unique.

[Bradandez]

One thing that would be interesting is when Rayman attacks with his fist, it can deal damage when returning back to Rayman if a fighter would happen to be in between.

One thing that would be interesting is when Rayman attacks with his fist, it can deal damage when returning back to Rayman if a fighter would happen to be in between.

I think that would be a bit OP, if it were tied to every move involving his fist. But it could be cool if attached to one move.
