I wouldn't be mad if Rayman was included, but I would prefer another 1st party character was brought in instead. 3rd party characters can be a nice addition, but I think it's important that they're treated as an exception and not the rule. This game is intended to be a celebration of Nintendo franchises, first and foremost. Nothing to do with the quality of the games, of course, I just see it as being contrary to the type of game Smash Bros. is.
Though like I said, I wouldn't really care if Rayman was included in this game. I've only played a demo of Rayman Origins on the 3DS, and didn't really care for it, but it seems a lot of people like his games, so I wouldn't say game quality has anything to do with it. I just think 3rd party characters included in SSB should either be more iconic (like Pacman or Sonic), or have a long history on Nintendo platforms (Megaman). Rayman doesn't really stand out on this level IMO...it'd be as odd as if Spryo, Crash, or Snake (wink) appeared, despite all having appeared on Nintendo platforms at some point.
But that's just my opinion on him appearing. The actual chances of him being in are anyone's guess. *shrug*
