Honestly the last Sakurai game that got delayed (Kid Icarus Uprising) ended up being bloody amazing so I wouldn't mind much as long as it's not something ridiculous like Fall 2015
Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
I guess there was a chance it happened since Nintendo and Ubisoft seemed to have a strong partnership and Rayman was a part of it. Though it is a bit of a stretch.

How much did the last SB sell?

I assume this was Ubisoft who wanted Rayman in Smash and not the other way around?

Agent J from Elite Beat Agents and Pokémon Trainer.
The former would make my life, and the latter would be a pleasent reaffirmation.

Are you a credible source? I could totally see this happening though. Sakurai needs to reject a third party every time a game comes out, that way people will be surprised when he adds them in the next one.
hmmm, your tag.

Care to post some examples? (Out of genuine curiosity. I'm sure he's the real deal since he'd probably be banned if he wasn't lol.)

Well I didn't make a joke about that word, did i?
I just don't like those terms, especially when my name shows up in searches next to them ha.
I have perspective and insight that guide meaningful industry discussion. because I care about those things. and also, I'm a gamer first anyway. also, 0 bans. 8+ years. think what you want ::shrug:: for I care not. clearly, because I ramble a lot anyway. And use strategy guides for all the Souls games.
I'm sure Nintendo gets request all the time. who wouldnt want that kind of promotion? haha.
But Nintendo can't really force him to do anything, he's a contract employee anyway

Maybe Sakurai told Ubisoft Rayman was going to be in but at the last minute delayed him to 2015.

So Rayman isn't in the game right?

Well of course...Sakurai helmed Smash Bros. N64, Melee, and Brawl...and they all led to incredible success.
Given that pedigree, I have no doubt that Sakurai has full reign to do whatever the hell he wants on this project. If Sakurai doesn't want Rayman, there won't be Rayman.
But you are pretty damn cool.

He works in marketing when it comes to the game's industry, he kinda warned us about sales of some games like zombi U and how it needed to sell more, BUT WE DIDNT LISTEN

I first paid attention when he posted something like, "Those pesky Rabbids. Why won't they just go home!" This was long before Rabbids Go Home was announced.
Just numerous Ubi related things really. I believe he alluded to the existence of Watch_Dogs Wii U in the aftermath of the Rayman Legends delay, but don't quote me on that.
Good. Sakurai can do whatever the hell he wants!

Anything he could possibly say, hint, allude to, or whisper about NPD sales...is completely true.

Is this like a double joke where ubisoft delayed legends for like 7 months and the rumor of smash 4 being delayed until 2015?

quit hounding Harker you guys, especially you juniors
Can we hound you? Did Microsoft ask for Master Chief to be in the game?
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
we need more webm Smash stuff
It will more that if your gonna delay an amazing game you need to have another amazing game, i'm sure if it was delayed it would be for a good reason

Haha, yeah. Better escape before nutty smash fans are going to eat you alive.
I really hope that rayman don't get in. no offense to ubisoft
I agreed. I feel bad that insiders have to put up with people sometime.
