Video Description

In this series, we discuss characters who may be invited to a future entry of Super Smash Bros, then go into ludicrous detail on what they could be like if they joined the fight for real! Our Challenger this time is an icon with an up-and-down history. Rayman's track record of quality platformers along with spinoffs of wildly varying quality has endeared him to many gamers worldwide. Yet he's also endured long periods where the only games he's had were said spinoffs if anything, including his run of small mobile titles in the past near-decade. With Smash's history of giving its guest fighters care and attention to the point where it's outright revived a few franchises, Rayman's many fans have been left waiting and hoping if the Limbless Wonder himself might get that chance next. So what if that did come to pass? How could Rayman stand out in Smash as a newcomer, and how would his array of abilities and very unusual build translate to a moveset and fighting style only he is truly capable of? Let's take a look. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/Delzethin Support via Patreon at: https://www.patreon.com/Delzethin Graphic design by Voyager: https://twitter.com/Fire_Voyager Post-production assistance by Yoshiller: https://twitter.com/RealYoshiller Post-production assistance by Neoxon: https://twitter.com/Neoxon619 Additional Sources: Article – Michel Ancel Allegations (Dualshockers): https://www.dualshockers.com/ubisoft-michel-ancel-investigation-toxic-management/ Article - Rayman Legends Delay Announcement (IGN): https://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/07/rayman-legends-delayed-no-longer-wii-u-exclusive Brawlhalla – Rayman Gameplay (Brawlhalla Official): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcZp23OpXUQ Brawlhalla – Rayman Rapid Punch Move (Snowy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X00LkddaN8k Rayman (1) – Moskito Boss Fight (RayCarrot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCzB_0pTWd0 Rayman (1) – Mosquito Dash (RayCarrot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxdSLp1kGpA Rayman (1) – General Gameplay/Plum (RayCarrot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihGYy_fSVsc Rayman (1) – Grimace (ZerRoboz): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOR5lHLrJnI Rayman (1) – Rayman Scared (Shadowserg): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRdge4d5dnQ Rayman 2 – Flying Yellow Shell (RayCarrot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOZrZK_Wabc Rayman 2 – Plum Riding (RayCarrot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5l06BF3PSYM Rayman 2 – Purple Lum Swing (RayCarrot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx6sbwPNCoE Rayman 2 – Throwing Animation (RayCarrot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blhGMEu7t_M Rayman 2 – Walking Yellow Shell (RayCarrot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPNQ4uS4G00 Rayman 3 – Telescopic Fist (LongplayArchive): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-whBDZatN94 Rayman 3 – Throttle Copter (BOSS FIGHTS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u9wsH8ZvBI Rayman 3 (GBA) – Body Shot (RayCarrot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtbDYCnn2E0 Rayman Mini – Announcement Trailer (Ubisoft Mobile): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p075SiCyT2s Rayman Legends – Opening Cutscene (Nintendo Wire): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t144xGenq2o Rayman Origins – Reveal Trailer (Gamespot): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PevoXzPJSJ4 Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U – Mega Man Reveal Trailer (Smash Bros.
