So... Geno trophy confirmed?

I doubt getting a Trophy alone would be hard for Sakurai. Mario RPG is quite popular, so it'd be a great idea.

I'd expect them to go whole-hog for Geno if he ever got in.

Ubisoft has to have been the one to approach Sakurai. I can't imagine Sakurai going out of his way to ask Ubi for a Rayman trophy and paying for it. And I think Ubi once approached him asking if Rayman could get in.

Sakurai sure knows how to throw people for a loop. The trailer could be bloody Mario's, and I still wouldn't feel like it was a dissapointing Monday. Nice surprise, even if he stays as a trophy.

He said "New Challenger". It's likely to be someone not revealed before. Low chance for a veteran, since they'd be new to Smash 4, but I'm expecting a completely new one. Shulk does still feel the most likely, for reasons previously stated, but this Trophy does make me question it a bit more. It came out of left field.

I understand now. By blowing our brains out, he can totally soften the blow of the character reveal being disappointing because who would even be able to comprehend anything any more?

I was gonna go to sleep, but then Rayman.

This is what Sakurai (and Ubisoft, but mostly Sakurai) did. His laugh is permeating throughout the gaming world right now...

Well.

I think what this means is characters who aren't on thw roster or can't gett into the roster due to legality reasons might be able to get in as trophies.

Geno trophy?

For legality, being in the game period requires licensing fees. Whether they're playable or a trophy, there's fees, so it wouldn't matter what their role is. The closest idea is that getting a Trophy of someone costs less than getting them playable, but we don't know if that would matter in the price being paid to use the character.

Anyway, it does make it appear that as long as you have history with Nintendo, you're fair game for an appearance, even if your company doesn't have a playable character. Brawl didn't make any exceptions, bot Smash 4 certainly can. Of course, if we do get an Ubisoft character, that'd be cool too. I think 4 Third Party characters is a good limit(although 5 is fine too). Whether we get Snake back, Simon Belmont, or someone else.

The idea could have been bouncing around before Legends' release date was pushed back.

So, Rayman. I actually did kinda sorta see that coming, even if it was only in the context of wanting an Assassin to represent Ubisoft in a Playstation All Stars sequel.

Is it too early for this to describe the Gematsu leaker person?

I have to say this post was perfect. I played that video while reading the rest of the thread. tongue

Since Rayman didn't get a cast page on the main website, I'm pretty sure he's just a trophy, albeit a very awesome one.

I'll be at work when the 7:00am reveal happens, so I guess I'll be missing the hype train again. sadnote note

Are we seriously holding grudges now? Yes, Ubi's support has been poor, but this could have been worked out long before it became an issue. Sakurai isn't going to remove something now just because a company is hesitant to put their games on the system.

There's no reason to be angry about anything.

@Gavs: Well, Ray isn't playable from the looks of things, so I wouldn't go trumpeting that yet.
