Two problems with that "leak" IM Db can be edited by anybody; this came up earlier in the ballot, and was dismissed as meaning nothing because of this. Secondly, the actual words of the tweet are far more sarcastic and joking than any kind of definitive statement. Even SHULK's VA's comment before he was revealed was more conclusive to it than Layton's VA's tweet.

Literally anybody can edit IMDB. If it was real, the actor himself cannot speak on it due to a vow of silence about it with Nintendo/Sakurai/whoever hired him. Take it with a grain of salt at best.

IIRC, Shantae went though the same debate. Doesn't mean anything.

If Layton were to get in, I imagine there's be some swordplay involved in his moveset, perhaps with a lead pipe.

And perhaps other moves would involve other tools he's macguyver'd over the course of the games, such as the slot machine gun or various hang gliders.

His final smash would probably be reminiscent of Phoenix Wright's level 3 hyper in MVC 3. A cutscene-based attack in which he solves a puzzle so decisively that the enemy is blown off the map.

no credence given to the leak, but this is a welcome change of topic

How big is Layton's presence on the Smash Ballot?

My Fire Emblem headcanon only applies to an alternate Nintendo universe, my version of a main universe has no Male!Robin at all.

There's no way to check how many "votes" a character has on the ballot.

The only people who could possibly know ain't talking, and moreover, it's not really a vote- It's a temp-check ballot.

I sure said that!

Welp, my headcanon is female Robin and male Corrin. Their respective ship teases with Chrom and Azura make more sense that way, even if said pairings aren't pursued (and also Female Morgan and Male Kanna don't work with the same rules as the other second gen characters and that's a bit of an annoyance.)

But yeah, Corrin could work well in a future game, and Anna would have made a great "Fire Emblem mechanics" character, with the whole "face of the franchise" deal.

Mmm, I am wondering why we keep getting all those Mii costumes, but we aren't getting any palette pack for the already present characters, or more trophies...

Seriously, Smash is the kind of game that shouldn't be quite left for finished in quite a bit of time.

I'm more than okay with Layton being in Smash, but after all these leaks that turned out to be fake, I'm taking this with a huge grain of salt.

Is Layton owned by Namco? If so, that makes SEGA the only third party company in Smash 4 to only have 1 character.

Bought the classic 64 stages.

The nostalgia was nice, but as usual, I want more.

I have 18 amiibos now. I still want Ganondorf, Pit, Captain Falcon, Ness, Charizard, Mr. Game and Watch, probably Jigglypuff...

I sure hope they make good on a REAL new fighter instead of just costumes.

King K. Rool and Lloyd Irving, that was just cold...

Layton isn't even a confirmed fighter, plus this "leak" is not even that likely to be real.

We could still get K. Rool as a fighter because Meta Knight's Mii Costume was revealed before his character was.

I still think Jibanyan will be Level 5's character once they get one, though admittedly it's not going to get in until Yokai Watch comes out overseas.

I've been having a lot of fun with Villager lately. So trolly with the Rocket, Pocket, and slingshot.

[up][up]The counterargument to that is typically "Meta Knight was on the original roster and isn't DLC".

Is there a difference?

That update was the same one that introduced Samus as one of the many dress-up accessories, yet it's not like anybody's seriously considering her retroactively disconfirmed.

No, there isn't really a difference, but it's true because a segment of the fandom says so.

The Samus Armor costume update buffed Samus.

And moved her into the Mii Fighter slot.

For the Layton thing, it seems that he recorded voice work for Layton for an unknown game (which is supposedly common?), and one of his guesses is Smash. That's what seems to be the reason for the tweets I believe.

I mean, he's welcome if he shows up, but I'd be surprised- Level 5 is awesome, but they're nowhere near Capcom or Namco or Konami and Sega at least has history of once being a great to fall back on, even if nowadays their output is mostly Sonic and Project DIVA and enjoying some degree of life-saving from Atlus' steady and reliable outputs.

Oh yeah, K. Rool could still actually be a fighter.

Making him a costume first is really odd though. Making him a costume at all, really.

It's also odd they used the DK 64 design as the base for the costume, considering how much of a baseline the PAON era design has been- Heck, it's used for K. Rool's trophy.

I sure said that!

Spoilering just in case even though it's not exactly been spoilered up above:

I think Layton would be a pretty good choice. This whole situation is pretty weird, considering the VA originally responded to this tweet a couple weeks ago, said the rumor was false, and deleted the tweet yesterday, replacing it with this new tweet. I don't think the IMDB thing has any bearing on the rumor whatsoever, of course, since like any wiki it can be edited freely. My main issues with this is more that the VA would probably be breaking some kind of NDA by saying something like what he did, and that the tweet hasn't been removed yet. I wouldn't be surprised if (assuming Layton is in) the VA actually didn't know it was Sm4sh he was recording for: Xander Mobus allegedly had to record the names of dozens of characters who didn't show up in the game to ensure he didn't know the full roster, so keeping the VA in the dark about Layton's inclusion would make sense.

I don't believe the rumor myself, but there are some interesting elements to it, and it's always fun to speculate.
