Overview
Added on November 6th, 2018, Rayman is Brawlhalla's first crossover fighter. He uses the axe and gauntlets and is seen as a pretty meh character that no one really plays. I am here to explain to you as to why I personally think Rayman is one of the best characters in the game.
Gauntlets
One of Rayman's weapons is the gauntlets.
Rayman's gauntlets are a force to be reckoned with. Like normal, the attacks are fast and have great combo potential. Each hit is light and can lead to some insane combos and strings if you know what you are doing. The signatures on the gauntlets are also really good, with great power and knock back to all of them.
Good Signatures
Side Signature: Side Signature is a powerful punch with a wind up to it. This hit deals a massive amount of damage and knock back on a successful hit. On a successful hit, the opponent will be sent flying and is a guaranteed kill at like deep orange or higher. The range on this move is unfair. It extends out a lot farther than you (and more importantly the opponent) realize. The only draw back is that it takes a while to fully charge up, but this only affects range as the damage is fixed after the move lights up.
Down Signature: Down Signature is a jump in the air quickly followed by three boxing gloves being thrown at the ground right in front of him. The first two hits on the move have a set knock back of nothing and the final hit has damage dependent knock back. If you are hit with either of the first 2 gloves, you are trapped and at the mercy of the third glove. (Keep in mind that you can still get hit by just the third glove as well) On stage, this move is just alright, but this move is a demon off stage. Not only can you do this move off stage with a gravity cancel, Rayman can also glide for a bit and move from side to side for a bit if you hold down the signature button. Using this, you can direct the move off stage and use it as an unfair edge-guarding tool. If used as such, it will send the opponent down at an angle and is a guaranteed kill at orange or higher. This move is borderline unfair if hit.
The Neutral Signature is alright. It is essentially the same as the side signature but up, and it is very situational and is hard to hit.
Axe
The other weapon Rayman has is the axe.
Rayman's axe is also obscenely good. As tradition goes, the axe is slow but powerful while still having good combo potential if you use it right. At least for Rayman, its not as slow as you think. It can still come out pretty quickly and messes with your opponent. Once again, the axe comes with some pretty busted signatures.
Good Signatures
Side Signature: Rayman rides his axe like a skateboard in his side signature. If a poor soul just so happens to get hit by the initial slide, Rayman will get up and swing his axe at them dealing huge amounts of damage and knock back. The slide comes out fast and can be carried off stage without falling off. You can also hold down the signature button to extend the reach of the move, although you do slow down a good bit when you do so. The signature goes out a lot farther than you would think, and this can cause the opponent to walk into it thinking the move has finished, which has happened to me numerous times. The swing that comes after getting hit with the slide is brutal. It's quick and has tremendous knock back that makes it one of his best kill moves.
Down Signature: In this move, Rayman jumps up into the air holding his axe above his head and then slams it back into the ground. This move is quite simple in its execution and seems a little disappointing at first, that is until you use it off stage. Once again, if you hold down the signature button, Rayman will glide and can be moved left to right. Use this move off stage and you will find amazing results. This move sends the opponents up if done on stage, but due to the move's strength and severe knock back, it sends the opponent at a sharp downward angle killing them instantly if they are deep yellow or higher.
Once again, the Neutral Signature is just ok. In this move, Rayman bounces off of a mushroom into a line of lums while swinging his axe. It deals good damage and knock back but his kind of hard to hit and I mainly use to recover using a gravity cancel.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Rayman has some amazing moves and is seriously underplayed and underestimated in Brawlhalla. I hope this guide can get you to see how good I think this character is and maybe you can try him out yourself.
