They just asked for 2d artworks and people think rayman is the next smash bros char lel

I hope so!

Nah.. Shulk is the character that will get revealed.. Trophies don't really matter in situations like this one...

Very unlikely to be Rayman somehow...Shulk is still the safe bet

Character trophies announced so far never have been characters that will be playable in the game;.

I hope not.... Gimme dat Shulk!

It's just a trophy. They wouldn't ruin their reveal by revealing the character as a trophy before. And besides, Rayman has too bad of a reputation with Wii u owners to be a character. What with his delay and all. Many are still bitter about that and the fact that it wasn't exclusive. Hence the low Wii u sales.

Rayman in Smash Bros??? :O

Rayman isn't a Nintendo character, the fact they gave him a trophy says something. Also the argument that 'they only asked for 2D references' says nothing. You make 3D models from 2D references (I've done it myself); art-style concerns and/or not being a pest are very good reasons to ask for just 2D references. The fact Ubisoft volunteered more than that is awesome but hardly says Nintendo has lesser plans for him.

If he's a not a character then why include the trophy, its not like he's a native part of Nintendo or connected to another third party character.


Also, it doesn't mean the leak isn't true, other characters who weren't on it have been added. But the idea that its definitely Shulk being announced (and only Shulk) would make this utterly insane, and turn today into a crazy as all hell double reveal.
