Rayman: Reaching Out for Relevance - Challenger Approaching

For details on the canon fighters' stats and hitboxes, check out Ultimate Frame Data: https://ultimateframedata.com/stats.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to another episode of Challenger Approaching! 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:   / delzethin   Support via Patreon at:   / delzethin   Graphic design by Voyager:   / fire_voyager   Post-production assistance by Yoshiller:   / realyoshiller   Post-production assistance by Neoxon:   / neoxon619   Additional Sources: Article – Michel Ancel Allegations (Dualshockers): https://www.dualshockers.com/ubisoft-...
