Well, that certainly makes it sound like Rayman is part of the playable roster, right? Is this a mistake by Ryan or a confirmation of what most have been thinking? Thanks to Lars for the heads up!
"In the recent interview in Canada about Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Rayman was mentioned, and this was referring to the previously announced Rayman trophy in the game."
Thanks to Nintendo for getting in touch!
