TSR's Super Smash Bros Thread|SWITCH HYPE TRAIN NOW BOARDING

[Kriven]

Or maybe the decision to include them was part of some sort of part of Rayman Legends' previous Wii U exclusivity that they then screwed with.

Not everything has to be a sign.

It's more likely it has to do with Nintendo publishing Rayman Legends in Japan, but then why wouldn't other Nintendo-published third-parties have such excellent series representation?

No, the Rayman trophies are too weird to ignore. I don't know if they really point to DLC or if the decision not to include the character happened later in development, or if they just ran out of time. I definitely think some interesting conversations were had between Nintendo and Ubisoft, at the very least.
