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
I have a message from another time...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.
"I'm glad I don't wear shoes or else I'd have to always get shoes in two different sizes. ...If you know, you know!"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...
You gotta believe me when I scare you away, all that I wish for is that you would stayIs 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.
"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guyI 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.

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.

"And kung fu is a terrible way to run a company" - alliteratorWhere's the Smash 4 leak thread when you need it?
Call me Willy Whistle 'cause I can't speak, baby. Something in TV Tropes really drove me crazy.

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.
