No he doesn't have a big history on Nintendo platforms, There are over 100 characters that deserve to be in before him. Bomberman >>>>> Rayman for example (though Bomberman wont make it). 

Origins and Legends are better sidescrollers then Nintendo could ever come up with. The latest NSMB games pale in comparison...

1. Thats opinionated. Yes i like Origins+Legends more than NSMB (all 5 games), but DK Is better in general imo, and I love Kirby More (personal).

2. What does that have to do with SSB? Its not Nintendo IP so how good it is is irrelevant.

Staying Nintendo IP only would limit its appeal. IMO they could gather as many outside, 3rd party characters they can get, and Rayman is recognizable. It wouldent help its sales, but it would be a nice bonus, and most gamers do have an affection towards him. Same with Sonic, Bomberman, Snake... hell I would like to see even Nemesis in a SSB game one day
