Possible Rayman DLC Leak For Super Smash Bros Wii U?

This comes direct from 4Chan so whether its legitimacy can be trusted remains to be seen. The fairly convincing off-screen images show that Rayman could be joining the Super Smash Bros roster as possible downloadable content. You may remember that a Nintendo Canada employee implied that Rayman would be a playable character in Super Smash Bros. This was back in August.

            1. Gat damn it!! The deletion pretty much confirms it! Damn spoilers! We can’t be surprised with anything nowadays… :(

              Though it would explain why Ubisoft went to a far extent providing the RM trophy.

          1. Idk these pics make me believe its fake even more now why show half of raymans body when all the other characters have their full body showing? And why have this screen at all? Dlc u would just get rayman u wouldn’t have fight him to unlock him.

            1. We’ve yet to get any DLC characters so you’re assumption isn’t necessary correct or incorrect. For all we know the DLC we buy unlocks the ability to unlock the character. Or maybe we get this screen as soon as hit start after you install the DLC. We still don’t know, I am however leaning towards the ‘fake’ argument though.

              1. Well the unlock screen for dark pit is only to his legs up, so that kind of disproves your first argument about the full bodies.

  1. I’m calling fake. It’d be more convincing if it showed him in-game. Instead, something like this is much easier to fake. Easy photoshop job.

    1. There’s just two things that these pics have going for it. 1. Mewtwo doesn’t simply use the model Nintendo showed us or PM, and 2. This doesn’t have the obvious mistake of putting Rayman after Mii Fighters, this has Mewtwo and Rayman where they would be placed

    2. I work with PhotoShop everyday at work and I can say making those images isn’t an easy job. Maybe some easy Clone Stamps and Quick Selections with Healing Brush Tools would work with it, but not easily and definitely would take more than 5 hours. I have used PhotoShop CS6 everyday for two years.

      1. 2 years? That much? Well maybe that explains why it would take you 5 hours to make something like this. With good enough HQ images I would say 10 minutes tops, but I have been using PS since 07 so like I said, that’s explains that. Its really easy to fake something like this. All you have to do is download the HQ Roster image that’s on the internet, cleanly edit Rayman in, save the image to a thumb drive, put thumb drive on a new ish TV, open image on said TV, take the picture at angle to create a sense of authenticity, and that’s it.

    3. This would actually take some pretty serious photo shop knowledge, being as photo shop is not even what you use to edit videos. Also, its very well done and not easy to do if it is fake. I say real

  2. While I have no idea whether or not this is fake (It’s hard for me to immediately write this off as fake since this particular render of Rayman seems to be completely new) I do love the idea of Rayman being in Smash; there really isn’t a reason for him to NOT be in it.
    I still hold to my old theory that Rayman was originally going to be in Smash (evidence being the seemingly out-of-place Rayman trophies in the game), by Sakauri decided to stop development on him when Ubisoft broke the whole “Rayman Legends will be a Wii U exclusive” deal, which was around the time the list was being finalized. I know Sakauri stated that all the characters that were in the game were finalized on the same day, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility that some of the characters on that list were cut, since that’s already made evident by the last-minute cut of the Ice Climbers. Anyways, it’s just a thought. I hope Rayman will someday have a spot in Smash.

    1. That theory sounds pretty stupid when you take how long Rayman has been in success, Sonic and Pac-Man have games that didn’t make it to Nintendo systems, if the roster was finalized as early as 2012 or 11 Sakurai wouldn’t make the creative decision of just dropping him for that old joke. How would anyone know Ubisoft even ask for his inclusion the first time?

  3. I dunno, it’s possible. Between this and the Nintendo Canada slip?

    On top of that, I’m mostly looking at the icon behind him (a Lum from the newest Rayman games, apparently original art), and the fact that it looks like original art of the character. On top of that, it’s exactly the same stylization of the trophy, in terms of details to the face.

    Could actually be legit.

    1. It looks newly drawn like the other pictures. It’s the eyes and brows that are throwing people off. The Mewtwo model looks different too. Lets wait instead of questioning the model work as a lot of them look like existing renders (which is why there was a heated debate over the ESRB leak)

    1. Sonic and Pac-Man had even less success than Rayman in recent years. Nintendo recognizes gaming icons this isn’t about whether they like the company or not. Sega used to be enemies with Nintendo then they became close friends, let’s just forget the company itself and just accept the games are fantastic. Rayman is awesome and deserves to be in (more than Snake sadly)

      1. if you even think rayman is on the level of sonic, megaman, or pacman something is wrong with you. and no snake didnt even deserve to be in smash.

        1. You can only put those characters on a higher level than Rayman if you’re looking at them with nostalgia goggles. Pac-man is known for one game, Megaman hasn’t seen any action in years and Sonic is known for bad games nowadays.

          1. these three characters along with mario are THE MOST recognized gaming characters in history. it doesnt matter if we dont see another one of their games in years, the majority of non- gamers know who they are, rayman isnt shit compared to these three

        2. Yet people are requesting Simon who isn’t relevant to Nintendo anymore and the series is dying if it doesn’t get a proper reboot. Bomberman i can get

      1. Rayman has been here since the 90s and had big success on Nintendo systems. People only know him from his modern cartoonish games. It used to be a respectable 3D platformer to the point where Rayman 2 was considered the game that “changed 3D platformers”

  4. That’s the same model for Mewtwo that Nintendo showed off in the 50 fact extravaganza, but from a different angle, isn’t it? That would be hard to fake. I’m not one to believe every rumor or “leak” I hear, but this one has ground.

    1. Commander, have you taken Calc I already? Just wondering since I’m currently taking it. First test next week is on limits. Easy so far. Now we’re starting to learn about derivatives.

      1. Nintendo Elite Commander Quadraxis

        I’m in the exact same place as you, only difference is we get one exam for the whole course…

              1. Nintendo Elite Commander Quadraxis

                Indeed, hard but interesting…

                Once I’m done, my purpose will be to find new worlds for the empire…

                And good luck to you too indeed…

                1. I’ve also always loved space. Who wouldn’t be intrigued such celestial bodies and the quiet yet active beauty of space? I chose Comp Sci because well.. I was lost, looking for something to spike my interests. But I came to like it. I was originally a nursing major. I was doing very well but I guess it just wasn’t for me.

                  Isn’t Algebra 1 one of the prerequisites for Calc? Either way, I think you’ll breeze through that class easily.

                  1. Nintendo Elite Commander Quadraxis

                    Probably, but since I’m having it at the same time it probably is at a higher level than in the US…

                  2. I think Algebra 1 in my university is a combination of Algebra 1-2 and Linear Algebra which you do all 3 in 5 months…

                    And it’s a somewhat higher difficulty than in 9th-12th grades…

                    I wasn’t able to learn all that math before because of serious problems back then…

                    1. Maybe not a higher level, but a higher workload since you’re taking Calc and Algebra at the same time. It’s definitely a higher level than hs Algebra though. But I also think hs Algebra was easier because it was spread out through the whole year. Now we only have the length of a semester to learn the material.

                      I also took it during college with the same course structure. I took it during a summer semester lol. I did well though. Most of the class failed and all they did was complain that they didn’t get the score they wanted or how the professor was not fair, haha. I’m also taking Discrete Math by the way, which I’m finding harder than Calc.

                      Well, good thing those problems are resolved now. We still have Calc II, III to go lol.

                      1. Nintendo Elite Commander Quadraxis

                        Most failed in Algebra?…

                        What kind of stupid class did you have? haha…

                        Well for me it ends after Calculus 1 since my education is Astronomy and Astrophysics, I’m going for Physics 2 and 3…

                      2. Very stupid class, lol. Good luck with Physics. Physics is not required for my major, but I plan on taking it since I might go into game development.

                        1. Nintendo Elite Commander Quadraxis

                          Nice, and thanks, I’m going to need it…

                          All this Light Quantum Physics…

                        2. That’s a very interesting subject. I’ve always wanted to learn quantum physics. Make Stephen Hawking proud lol.

                          1. Nintendo Elite Commander Quadraxis

                            You can always make it harder…

                            I think Algebra 1 here is made up from 3 different parts of Algebra courses mixed into one that you go through in 4-5 months…

                            Most is of course a repetition of the 10-12th grades but also a bit more profound…

                            Yes university…

          1. i hope it is fake, the “good” ubi would be making games for other consoles with the money of smash fans, just like hideo kojima with snake.

        1. That’s the same model for Mewtwo that Nintendo showed off in the 50 fact extravaganza, but from a different angle, isn’t it? That would be hard to fake. I’m not one to believe every rumor or “leak” I hear, but this one has ground.

          1. That model was most likely his standing pose. This one looks like he’s actually posing and grinning to the camera like other characters

          1. Why are people call it fake for being “ugly”? That is his cartoon appearance from recent years he’s suppose to look goofy. It’s better than the trophies at least which try to make the artwork look 3D (although it was done by Ubisoft while this could be Nintendo)

        2. Regardless of whether it’s legit or not, Rayman doesn’t deserve to be in Smash especially not after how Ubisoft treated us Wii U owners.

            1. Thanks for exposing yourself as a troll. I appreciate it. And what kind of a gamer calls someone a retard?! That’s a new low.

        3. Why would they make a ubisoft character for their game when ubisoft abandoned nintendo. that really wouldn’t make sense, maybe if they were still working together but they are not they’ve abandoned wii u. I’d be upset if this ends up to be true because their are many more deserving nintendo characters that could be put in this game instead.

          1. Fack, it’s not all about businesses and grudges against them, think about a unique character model different from the rest, with trademark whacky moves that could bring a character that’s a breath of fresh air into the game.

            1. there are so many core nintendo characters that deserve a spot before rayman. I have a grudge against them but your right this isn’t about grudges. I want more core nintendo characters in smash instead of rayman.

              1. You’re probably right, but I just feel like we at least need Rayman to use some moves that feel different than any other character. I can’t really think of a Nintendo character that behaves quite like Rayman. All slippy-slidy, long range, floating body parts.

          2. They didn’t abandon Nintendo they just cut back Wii U development until the sales improve and they still develop for 3DS. Rayman is deserving because he is a iconic gaming mascot like the others

                    1. lol. I believe that. they don’t care enough about their own franchises like assassins creed to actually make them good.

                      1. Man you ride stranga so hard. Stop dick riding him and have your own fucking opinion, you don’t have to agree with everyone just for the sake of agreeing. You already stated your opinion, if they disagree then that’s them, be your own self.

          3. Pingback: Rayman Smash Bros DLC leaked?

          4. hahah i will never support ubisoft after the glitchy as fuck assasins creed 4. also was grossed out that they cashed in and broke the exclusivity deal with Nintendo. ALSO the CEO is a piece of shit who said that they were sitting on a BIG already complete Wii U game that won’t see a release until there are more Wii U owners and then the game turns out to be some shitty party game. fuck them and their attitude.

            1. Why don’t we forget about the modern days and remember the classic Ubisoft. Rayman had way more successes than just Legends, even the Rabbids spin offs. You’ll get it anyway if it’s we all know that

            1. That doesn’t necessarily say it’s fake. I remember an ESRB 3DS pic had a glitch on the borders making it darken more than the others which would be a very hard thing to predict

          5. After many arguments were proven wrong i suppose we can wait to see the truth. I’m more on the fake side Photoshop isn’t hard to do but what leaves it ambiguous is that Mewtwo doesn’t have the model Nintendo showed us which is good as anyone can cut corners. Funny i always knew the Happy Purple Lum would be the series symbol

          6. I hope this is true. Rayman would be epic in smash !! Who cares about ubi and their backstabbing ways I’m all about the fun

            1. No and you’re an idiot forgiving those fuckers and their “backstabbing”. I want a REAL historic character in that spot, not this limbless reminder of the biggest two-faced fuck of a gaming company that’s now EA 3.0 (Activision is 2.0)

                      1. Nintendo Elite Commander Quadraxis

                        By the way, Rayman garbage is fake, I’ve sent the evidence to Sickr, hallowed is the holy N for not allowing such atrocity in the sacredness…

                        1. I know. The fake Mewtwo pose on screen was a dead giveaway. We all know the official Mewtwo model pose is radically different and would likely be used just like the entire roster which only has one each. I’m glad that fucker and Ubisoft is far away from tainting this game. They don’t deserve anything but a shot in the balls for mistreating the fans and lying for years.

                          1. Nintendo Elite Commander Quadraxis

                            Once Sickr posts the news, watch how the stupid cattle will start blaming our empire for no reason…

          7. Pingback: Será o Rayman uma personagem DLC no Super Smash Bros?

          8. Jeez, people taking their hate on Rayman for what Ubisoft has been doing recently. It’s sad. I mean I don’t like what they’ve been doing, but to take it out on this series.

                        1. Rayman failed because Ubisoft has gone fully retarded to destroy its chance to be good again. Delaying Legends for GTA5 to ruin their stupid ass PS360 port plans was a huge mistake but a deliberate one to ruin Nintendo. So they deserve shit shoved into their lying mouths.

                    1. So I can have every dying pleasure to fuck him up repeatedly as payback for Ubisoft fucking with Nintendo fans like if it’s amusing to them to lie and cheat their loyalty and money. I want Rayman to be buried and forgotten but even better, scrapped from the game completely and put a REAL character in the game like Bayonetta.

                  1. I love Rayman, but I hate what Ubisoft have become nowadays, so I dunno what to think about seeing Rayman in a great game such as smash…

                  2. Fake or not, is it possible to only reveal the spoilers when clicking the article?
                    Not speaking for me since I saw it elsewhere though.

                    1. That was unnecessary. It’s just to make him look goofy like the modern cartoon games it’s based off on. At least it’s better than the trophies

                  3. The big question to all of this is how? How did they uncover this? The original roster was leak from the ESRB copy, is this re-rated or uncovered in the files?

                  4. Pingback: Rumor – Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS will add Rayman as a Playable Character | PLAYERESSENCE

                  5. If you listen very carefully, he tries to select Rayman, and the error noise plays. This means that the CSS and roster screen are completed, but as far as development, that’s as far as they’ve got.

                    1. Sorry Sicr for cursing on your site; please don’t ban me off tonight. After seeing what Smash Bros might, Ubisoft is who I may fight.

                      1. That’s funny i actually enjoyed their games. This is why i’m sick of DLC being in nearly every game. The games themselves are fine but even if a small part of the game is missing it makes it terrible. Rayman is really a great character

                      1. @thestrangablo: enough your arguments are only based on your hatred towards Ubisoft not whether or not you like the character or not. Rayman 4 is a completely different game and isn’t what contributes to Rayman’s success

                  6. Interesting news.
                    Bear in mind though that these decisions are entirely up to Nintendo and Nintendo alone.
                    We can’t decide what characters can or cannot be in their games, and there is really nothing you can do to stop them.
                    If this turns out to be true, then that’s awesome and means we now officially have 2 additional characters added to the roster.
                    If it turns out to be false, then that’s a bummer but it’s not really something to make a fuss over.
                    The most we could do right now is wait for a confirmation.

                  7. Of all the classic third party characters they could put in they choose D-rate Rayman? Not a chance. More chance of us all waking up on the moon tomorrow morning.

                    1. People need to understand how iconic Rayman really is. Most people just remember him for his recent cartoonish games when he was here since the 90s

                      1. He isn’t iconic in anyway whatsoever. If you’re a fan of his that’s fine but don’t try and pretend he’s something he’s not.

                    1. I for one wanted him in once we heard new 3rd parties are in. After Pac-Man he’s the next most likely (same with Bomberman)

                  8. If this is real, this is AWESOME. Sure, Ubi has been doing some downright insulting things to Wii U’s user base, but Rayman has consistently been great. Rayman 2 is still considered one of the best platformers every released and that’s been out since 1999.

                      1. @Axle a lot of videos of fake rosters and gameplay are on the internet yet they aren’t deleted. This mimics the ESRB leak

                  9. Should have clicked him to hear the announcer say his name. If it’s true, Sakurai did another stupid thing. I hope this is Sakurai’s last Smash bros game.

                    King K. Rool > Rayman

                  10. I hope they make him God-Tier material.
                    Someone that actually doesn’t struggle against the current “abomination”.
                    *coughDiddyKongcough*

                      1. I was actually kidding about that. XD
                        Tbh though, most people will always find something to complain about with anything.
                        I wouldn’t really care if he was low tier. I just wanna have fun playing as him in a Smash Bros title like I dreamed of during the N64 era.
                        I prefer the fun factor as opposed to the competitiveness in the majority of games I play.

                    1. Considering Fox already uses Wolf’s specials in his custom move slots (Just like how Ness already uses Lucas’s) the chance for that seems fairly low.
                      Not to mention Wolf, Fox and Falco all had the exact same Final Smash in Brawl which really didn’t make much sense.
                      But hey, you can still always hope though.

                  11. You don’t even have to look at Rayman to tell that this is fake. Just look at Mewtwo’s character model; it’s hideous.

                  12. I believe it. Looking at characters separate from the company’s actions (since Megaman clearly deserved a spot despite the fact that Capcom has buried and completely forgotten about him), Rayman and Bomberman are kinda the next two third-parties that should be included. I’m looking forward to this assuming it’s real. I’m more concerned with Smash being a great game and having a big, great cast of unique characters to play as. I agree entirely that Ubisoft shouldn’t get squat in Smash, but I’d also be hard-pressed to argue that Rayman himself doesn’t deserve a spot. It’s a difficult situation… but I still think he deserves it more than Snake did at least.

                      1. Because he has nothing better to do with his time? It’s an impressive amount of work and his attention to the little details is amazing, but he could have done literally ANYthing else with his time and he chose this for some reason. Trolls like this are why the internet has problems.

                  13. I believe it. It looks real to me and everything adds up (like why there are Ubisoft trophies in Smash Bros 4). Only thing that sucks is that Ubisoft doesn’t really support Nintendo consoles. Had Ubisoft been a better supporter, I would have been all for this.

                    I bet the decision to add him in the game was made years ago when Nintendo fans were praising Ubisoft for being supporters of the Wii U. How could the developers have known the praise would end and turned completely around? No sense in letting all their hard work towards creating the character go to waste. Might as well still release him.

                    I’ll use him. I think Rayman is a cool character. Just not too fond of the company that owns him.

                    1. Not to mention, Rayman’s creator himself was helping protest to have Rayman Legends release on the Wii U the date it was supposed to. So also try to think about how happy Rayman’s creator would be to have his character in Smash.
