Would you want Rayman as DLC in Smash Ultimate? I personally think he'd be really cool!
Yup, but crash is my #1 fs
Yes
I don't necessarily want him but I'm not against his inclusion.
FRICK FRICK FRICKIN YES!!!
Hi
Wow, thanks for immortalizing this little legacy of mine! And thanks for spreading some love for Curiomatic! I'm betting even a lot of people who subscribed to Smashified still aren't aware that we've rebranded. =P
But man, that Klonoa hoax was just a shameful display. That's something I'll never live down.
Dude killer work, keep making cool shit!
Yeah man I love your artwork and if anything I'd just love another Rayman Smashified. Much respect.
Artsy Omni Mistakes were made but I say it was worth it since that Klonoa art was fan-freakin-tastic regardless, even though it was a bummer that it was fake. XP Better luck next DLC pack Klonoa.
You should have been evily stroking a cat when you turned around on that chair.
@@Sebby_Nineteen I'm allergic =P
Still remember Etika talking about this leak. God I miss him.
Same, I sometimes forget tbh, it's so unbelievable he is gone, I see smash news and I am like "OH I WANNA SEE ETIK- oh yeah..."
I miss him, man, he was a real af guy.
ok
i see you everywhere
Rip etika
The dream is over kids, the dream is over (laughs in sadness)
Oh Etika I miss you ❤️
Nah man, dreams are always alive as long as you and the ones who love hold them in your minds and souls
Mark Reagan wow, good way to bring some clout, highly recommended. That aside, if you’re going to try to ruin a sad moment, do it better, or better yet, don’t.
Uncle Larry bruh you don’t realize all the good that man has done in the smash community and in General
@Mark Reagan for you to say that is disrespectful
ok
I remember when this was the biggest thing ever. Oh my schoolyard was crazy with everyone having a 3ds and getting excited saying they would buy him
bruh i was the only kid hyped in MY school yard xD
and i laughed at them for believing in such an obvious lie.
Jaydon stinks I don't have a schoolyard :/
@@newfacepaula "Yeah I totally didnt think it was real")
newfacepaula You thought it was real! Don’t lie to make yourself look better...
The huge problem that Rayman faced back then and is still facing now is himself.
Or rather his limbless physique.
The Amiibo that would be made for him would be an utter abomination.
The only way I can see them avoiding it is if his pose had his hands on his hips. Then at least all you have to do is support the head and body.
That's the main reason I see Rayman not getting into Smash, at least as long as the amiibo series continues
@@artsyomni Well well we'll, it's the man himself!
My gosh that was an absolutely great leak you made, I fell for it lol
Well who says they have to have an Amiibo
@@artsyomni One hand supporting the head, another on the body. Maybe it is possible to find a pose where no limb is loose. He could for example sit down.
ALSO if I remember correctly, ubisoft themselves said that they would make an official statement about the matter right before omni made the video.
This potiential statement was also why i and many others were skeptical of the grinch leak. Since it proved that it doesn't have to be real to cause Corporations to make a statement
I’m still curious what Ubisoft’s statement on the leak was going to be.
Jace *aha! RAYMANS IN SMASH! right, Sakurai?*
Rayman is frozen in battlefield
Didn’t someone at Ubisoft respond to all the questions about Rayman being in the game? I swear someone on Twitter said something like “we’re just as surprised as much as y’all are”
Doom Marine no
Rayman is still my most wanted character and this leak actually made me more hopeful for him
Go to Sleep Same bro
HE IS MY MOST WANTED CHARACTER TOO
Morgana, I’m rebelling NO MORE SLEEP
i'm not tired Morgana, shut up
*Its almost scary how good I am*
I remember Etika talking about this leak.
Same here
RIP
Same.
Rest in Peace Etika
Let's spam F
Sad how Rayman never got into Smash before Etika's life ended... 😢
Uncle Larry fuck you Etika committed suicide he was a legend
Uncle Larry Bruh I’m fighting Demons on Mars but they must have come to Earth...
@@UncleLarrydogenhimer-cg6xl No, you!
Uncle Larry what the fuck nigga!
ok
I was following Smash news closely when this "leak" came to a head and I 100% thought it was real... for like 10 minutes because I discovered a day later after the creator admitted that it was a hoax. The clatter this thing drummed up was crazy. People looked over every other "leak" with much more scrutiny, because if this guy could do it this well then who else could be doing it even better? These were the days.
Just imagine what a team of talented artists could do with a fake leak. o_o
I FREAKING CRIED WHEN IT WAS CONFIRMED FALSE THATS HOW MUCH I THOUGHT IT WAS REAL
They didn’t even bother giving us a Rayman Mii costume. Instead we have those Rabbids
On the bright side at least that means he's still on the table.
Maaaaan I remember this all going down and watching Etika's reactions to it all.
Oi chibi josuke
ok
Still cant get over etikas shirt that says "the fungus among us" truly ahead of its time
I remember Ubisoft was gonna have a press conference or some sort of an announcement the following Tuesday in regards about the leak and Omni straight up said "Okay, the joke is over."
it seems you forget that it would be almost impossible to make a rayman amiibo since he has no limbs
Somewhere in the Afterlife, Etika is having a good laugh about Sakurai-san's Smash reveal. 😇
I thought it was so real I thought the reveal of "it was me, artsyomni all along!" was the fake part.
1:50 I've never seen that picture
Just a minor thing but I personally think the Mewtwo portrait sort of looks off, at least when compared with the revealed Mewtwo design at the time. Otherwise is definitely one of the most real out there
Nope we got another motherfucking fire emblem.
Butt he has a swored c:
I think that if I was around at this time, I would've thought that Rayman was convincing, but I think I would've passed it off as fake when seeing Mewtwo. At least to me, it just does not look like his render in the reveal trailer and in the actual game. Rayman does look convincing enough though.
Like I said last time,Smash 4 was really wild
More wild than Ultimate's "leaks" tbh
@@Cross-vo1ui very true
I completely fell for this back in the day, hook, line and sinker. After this leak I have since never been completely convinced by any other leak for anything. Heck, this leak was the only reason I even had a sliver of doubt once the Grinch leak came out.
If I saw this when I was hype for Smash 4’s DLC I would’ve been screaming my heads off
But for real tho, Smashified (now rebranded as Curiomatic) makes really good content. I highly recommend their channel.
@@artsyomni my god... he has appeared
this pleases the N U T
The Mewtwo render was what tipped me off that this was fake, but at the time I was still super impressed with how good the rayman render was and how much effort went into this.
the subtitles for roy said ive returned at last
while u were talking about coming back nice edit playz
"I Literally Had Bones Removed From My Face."
I know how that feels...I got my wisdom teeth removed in March of 2012, and I have to say I don't remember much...The only thing I do remember is passing out on the bottom of the stairs! 😅
I remember this leak so damn well. Rayman is my number 1 favorite video game character and this leak just broke me, when the creator came out and confirmed it being fake ... and yet Rayman isn't in Smash.
Maybe one day. The dream will not die.
Honestly I'd love Rayman as a character, but in all seriousness I'd hope he gets his "Rayman 3" look as opposed to his "Origins/Legends" look. Actually now that I think about it, I'd love it if his alt costumes were Rayman 1, 2, 3, Dark Rayman, and then Origins/Legends.
He really did an amazing job making it look real. Props to him for that.
Ironically the Banjo Smashafide would become real years later as DLC for Switch. 😂
This hoax was the sole reason I was skeptical of the Grinch leak. After this was the point when I truly understood, that anyone could make a fake leak.
If Rayman was in SSBU his final smash would be
All the nymths circle around the stage while powering him, he has to attack enemies to charge his punch in 5 seconds,if he charges it enough he will release a powerful wind up punch that covers the entire stage ground
like if you want it to be his final smash ;)
1:05 Amazing timing
Just watching the making of this leak in detail has me mesmerized. Wasn't around when this leak came out, but rip to the ones who wanted rayman.
RIP Desmond❤️
after seeing Assassins Creed and Rabbids getting Mii Costumes at the end of Fighter 5's Direct there isn't a single doubt in my mind that Rayman is going to be a Playable Fighter this time around for the Second Fighters Pass hes 100% going to be Playable this time around and im willing to bet at least 100$ on that as well its Rayman's chance to finally shine in the world of Smash and its time for him to meet up with the characters he was meant to be with ever since the Smash 4 days and hell id even say since 1995
your friends are waiting for you Rayman in due time you will get your Smash Invitation please be patient
Crash I personally see as guaranteed with Banjo getting in. Just kinds feels like the doors are open. but you make interesting points as well. Hopefully they both get in
5:14 RIP Etika
@Saucy Mongoose wtf is wrong with u
Eymotion ?
I guess he’s mad that you reminded him.
I remember seeing this through Etika, what a king
I was sold until a friend told me that Artsy Omni revealed it as a hoax. I even doubted him at first. The hoax was amazing
When I saw this I honestly believed it. I had something telling me it was fake, but just looking at without thinking, it's still one if the most convincing leaks to this day
I remember hearing about this after becoming more invested in Smash with the release of the 3DS Demo, and just being blown away.
INDIVIDUAL FRAMES. EDITED. That’s dedication.
And Rayman being in Smash would just be plain cool!
I was the most hype for this leak than almost every character reveal (only k rool made me more hype). I was litterally heartbroken when it turned out to be a leak. So close and yet so far for one of your favorite characters in gaming...
I absolutely appreciate the good deeds that Sm4sh did, rather than worrying about what it got wrong, in my unpopular decision... ;)
The only leak besides the ESRB I believed and it hurt when I learned it was fake... I hope he gets in someday!
I'm so glad people use Rayman's Theme from Arena often tho, not only it's a bop, but it's also an underrated game, honestly! If he gets in Smash I hope this theme gets in! (Along with remixes from other Rayman games, especially 1 imo)
This would have probably mostly convinced me. Video evidence, as you said, is more believable than only photos, and this one was really well made.
I remember seeing this leak in high school and etika talking about it. R.i.p ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know a lot of people want Rayman and I do too but honestly, I want Klonoa more. I always wanted him since the Brawl days. (Same with Bomberman which is also pretty ironic considering Artsy also did a Bomberman leak in Brawl)
I don't think that bomberman thing counts as a leak. I never really attempted to pass it off as real, and it was posted to the Smash Bros MOJO. Anyone here old enough to remember THAT site? =P those were the days.
oh, hi Artsy Omni.... NANI!?
rayman is literally the only person i want in smash
I was a little skeptical, but I almost entirely fell for it. Literally the only thing that threw me off were the eyebrows, but I figured that was just a stylistic choice for his new design. But yeah, he totally got me. And I'm glad because that's how I found out about Omni's other work!
Omni was behind those realistic Kirby hat fakes back in the Brawl days too, I think
I was kind of like 80% sure it was real (The Rayman leak). Rayman looked perfect and the video basically confirmed it, though I thought that Mewtwo looked wrong in it
You are correct! That was back when I went by HextupleyooDOT online. You can still find those Kirby Hats on my deviantart page. =P
Ubisoft is not giving Rayman attention, seriously, Rayman's latest game is a MOBILE GAME, AND IT'S ONLY FOR IOS!
If Rayman was included in Smash Ultimate as DLC Fighter 5, it would save his name, and get more people into Rayman games.
@SMA5H ULTIM4TE Shhhhh, we don't talk about that
@SMA5H ULTIM4TE I do, but I want to forget about it
@@MrPresttoSauce Spirits don't deconfirm characters, though. Rayman could possibly happen after the Fighters Pass, so maybe Rayman fans will get something good.
@@sp4mifyer884 & SMA5H ULTIM4TE, It's funny to me how many times you two specifically have had this exchange. =P As for Prestto's observation, to be fair, Mega Man was pretty dang neglected at the time of his reveal for Smash 4, although his chances were much higher simply because he's a Japanese game company mascot.
I was only a kid at the time and I didn’t know what leaks were, so I saw this and completely thought it was real. I waited for a long time after getting Smash 4 on both Wii U and 3DS for Christmas one year wondering when Rayman was coming out. I loved Rayman (and still do. He’s still my most wanted to this day!) and was eagerly awaiting his arrival. Like I said, I was a kid and knew *nothing* about Smash. I didn’t even know the series existed outside from my dad not letting me have Brawl as a kid because it was a 12 rated game (despite my argument that it had Mario in it so it couldn’t be that bad) and my first true introduction to the series was the Duck Hunt reveal trailer which I *adored* and constantly rewatched. Smash 4 was my first Smash game, so I was very new to the series. I was also new to the internet, so because of this I thought that Rayman was coming at some point, but I was disappointed to see that it was a “fake leak”. After doing more research into what a leak actually was, I fully understood....Not. I just found more fake leaks that I thought were real; Some of them were obviously jokes, like Shrek or the goddamn Happy Meal Box getting in and I completely believed it all! It was only until I became more versed in the community that I learned more and more, and in 2017, 2018, 2019 all the way up to today, I was riding the hype train with more knowledge than I could have ever imagined back then about Smash. I’m glad I fell for all those leaks. It made me realise that life is full of ups and downs, truths and lies, excitements and disappointments and that it’s all about learning. If I hadn’t fallen for all of those fake leaks so long ago, I most likely wouldn’t have delved deeper into the Smash community, and boy am I glad I did. It’s really weird going from seeing a reveal trailer for a dog and duck I vaguely knew about one day on RUclips to eagerly watching (and crying at) the reveal of the iconic bear and bird duo, Banjo & Kazooie, live last year. Without this amazing community, I’d have never known about *any* of this. Sure I vaguely knew of Banjo-Kazooie but still. I definitely wouldn’t have been holding back from screaming over some 20 odd year old, forgotten Donkey Kong villain joining the fray. But anyway, I’m thankful for this leak. It helped me grow and it also helped me realise....
God I was a dumb kid, wasn’t I?
What was more interesting is that Ubisoft caught wind of this and they said they were going to make an announcement the following week before Artsy made the reveal
I was around and a part of the Smash 4 hype when this leak happened. Rayman was the first character I voted for in the Smash Ballot and I instantly believed this leak once I saw this video footage. And man, I was both disappointed and impressed when the truth was revealed. Still hoping Rayman makes it as DLC in Ultimate!
Still hoping for Rayman. He has been my most wanted since forever
rayman: smash? *no*
rayman: brawlhalla? *_yeeee_*
It's sad, when you mentioned Etika, I forgot he had passed and was reminded in the comments. RIP Etika
I said oh my god when he mentioned him and how ominy wanted etika to react to it
For me, I thought the mewtwo render didn’t really match up with the trailer, the Rayman one though looked legit
I knew this leak was fake because Mewtwo's render looked off compared to every other character and I could tell that it was the same image as his trophy because of his face.
Grinch leak be like - "Am I a joke to you?"
ArtsyOmni singlehandedly raised the bar for fake leaks. Everyone now had to get much more creative and interesting. We eventually got that with the Grinch Leak, but to think this has stood the test of time as an amazing fake is still great work.
having poor eyesight makes this leak even more believeable...
imagine if this "leak" was actually legit but they decided to not rayman in the game because it was leaked
I feel like nowadays that no one can be trusted anymore when it comes to leaks.
Glad to Have you Back Aaron!
This pretty much explains every reason I don't believe the "CaccoMallow leak" at *ALL* with it being so out of date
And remember "Anyone can fake a leak"
I didn't fully believe it because he didn't actually click on Rayman and show gameplay when there's no real reason they wouldn't if it was actually real
I remember running into Artsy Omni(lives in same town) weeks after this all went down. Pretty hilarious xD
This guy played the entire internet, the Madlad.
I know when I first saw it I thought it was pretty convincing,but since I had been very skeptical about any leaks ever since the Brawl days I think I had taken a "fake until officially confirmed" mentality on it.
It was definitely one of the best fake leaks that had ever been done,and even the best leaks for Ultimate haven't topped it if you ask me.
i wanted rayman and when i saw this i lost my shit told all my friends and then had to do the walk of shame into school after it was announced fake
Honestly, the thing that clinched it was Ubisoft saying they would comment on it.
I was not paying much attention to leaks back in the day (still not doing it), because I never trust leaks. Most are fake anyway, and I see no harm in believing a real leak is fake. - Though, now afterwards, I do wonder if I was going to check that animated background, because now that I know it's wrong, it really looks off. - Although the community basically defended false leaks by stating that mistakes is proof that it's real, as someone faking it wouldn't accidentally make mistakes ...?
It convinced me and its like the only leak I can recall falling for that ended up being false. I never for a second thought the Grinch Leak was real and found it way to out there to be real.
I feel like the only other leak that’s had the same believability that this had (and maybe the Grinch leak) were the Mallow and Cacodemon hats. It had actual game footage of the hats in action ^^'
The only thing really going against it was the fact that Ultimate modding was coming a long way, and it wasn’t out of the question for someone to make a mod for these hats. Other than that, it’s kinda strange how no one has come out to say the leak is fake... heck, there’s barely any news on it anymore.
(Also I would’ve probably believed the Rayman leaks if I had seen it at the time. Too bad I caught this when it was debunked xD)
I fell for it as well. I'm surprised I wasn't suspicious about the Mewtwo icon. Looking at it now something looks off about it, like it doesn't match.
I was disappointed that I didn't get into the whole leak craze before it was revealed fake.
Also, considering how they didn't have Rayman playable back then and still don't have now, I bet if Ubisoft decided to yet again pass off Rayman as a rep, they would probably pick an assassin.
I don't even know their statement toward Nintendo, but they would probably sue them or at least clear up the misunderstanding.
my 11 yr old dumbass never thought about other characters joining the fight so this "leak" is pretty much what Kick-started my hopes for other characters to join
and also what got me into wanting Rayman in smash bros as much as everyone and they're mother want geno in smash
Just add Rayman already, everyone wants him in the game. either as playable character or punch bag
1. I joined Smash in 2016, after the Rayman leak.
2. Good things this channel still has comments.
this leak is the reason i have trust issues of smash leaks.
it's also the reason rayman has been my most wanted character for smash for 5 years now
I remember seeing this and I was freaking out because it looked too real to be fake
Even if it's fake or not, I still want Rayman in smash no matter
I didn’t believe, not because I somehow saw the tiny flaws, but because I didn’t think the portraits looked right (and I tend to be a bit skeptical about leaks in general).
I saw this "leak" and I thought it was real and I got excited when I first saw it turns out it was fake I hate my life.

Face when dlc 5 isnt announced
That aged like sssshit
You think he's in pain then, wait till he hears who the 5th DLC is...😨
Having debuted in Smash 4, I remember this leak quite well!
Hi ❣❣❣
@@Skypatroller_BenCD Hello!
@@rosalinassbu2054 😊💖
I definitely believed and when he came out that it was fake, he got a subscription immediately. Really great channel.
The ray man leak was big but the grinch leak made a bigger impact on me
The thing that made it fake was how Mewtwo looked and his placement. I knew the DLC fighters would go at the end and it looked nothing like his model.
Imagine on the 16th (when the new smash fighter is revealed) the fighter turns out to be Rayman
Rayman should be in the next Smash DLC roster
I found mewtwos portrait a little suspicious because of how different its face shape is compared to the one from the direct.
Oh man, this was the leak that got me real good.
Well... we just have some hopes open for Rayman! We have at least 6 Fighter who aren't announced yet for Smash Ultimate (shouldn't the first wave come until february 2020?)... hopefully Rayman will be part of the roster... After Banjo & Kazooie my hopes for impossible characters are increased to a maximum
i got smash for the 3DS but i was never much of a gamer. Even *I* heard about rayman supposedly being in the game. I told my brother about it and everything lol
