I wonder how the hell they are going to top this lineup for the next entry.
Do we really know for sure when he locked his account?
Uh, I've been expecting a Level 5 character to show up before a Square character, and it's kind of hard to justify Jibanyan getting in before Yokai Watch comes out overseas, and I do like Layton, but this strikes me as unlikely. He's popular sure, but not that popular. I won't be mad if he is in, but he's on a much lower level than even the likes of Mega Man or Snake.
Maybe they will add a newcomer specifically targeting the three main Nintendo branches:
NoE: Layton
NoA: King K. Rool
NCL: I dunno, Rathalos?
If this pans out, I sincerely hope that Level-5 isn't TPC levels of stingy.Yeah, I can definitely see it. Imagine it guys:
Layton in Smash means a Layton Amiibo, and assuming Level 5 isn't too stingy like TPC, works mean Layton in the likes of Mario Maker and Mario Kart (as a Mii Costume)
Though part of me doesn't want to get my hopes up too much considering the whole Rayman fiasco.
Nintendo needs to make more NEW IPs with the intention of lasting future appeal. Not just lets put Mario, Samus, Kirby into random game to make it sell.
Splatoon is a good start in that regard. It's definitely Smash material. It's Nintendo EAD's first major character based IP since Pikmin, and it's proven itself in terms of popularity (it's managed to do over a million and it's still selling over in Japan).
Okay fine, Shovel Knight.OK , ok i'm feeling it.
Can we get Phoenix in too?
Why you insulting america like that?
As an American, I am offended.Maybe they will add a newcomer specifically targeting the three main Nintendo branches:

Man, Sakurai just can't keep anything under wraps can he?

There are two other post Pikmin EAD characters in Smash (Miis and Wii Fit Trainer), so having a character oriented IP isn't really required for Smash.
Smash has become too big for the ship to remain holeless.Man, Sakurai just can't keep anything under wraps can he?
Who says this is the last DLC character?Meh not one of my favorites to be in Smash. They ignore Wonder Red, KK Rool, Isaac, etc. But a 3rd party character is a top priority?
Speaking about actors leaking characters, I wonder what happened to Raiden supposedly being in Smash.
Layton's final smash he can go "full Layton" and reveal some bullshit about Master Hand and the smashverse is a figment of somebody's imagination.

Obviously not but i'm sure that the amount of how many DLC characters they can add will be coming to an end really soon, and I feel a "joke character"* for a fighting game like Layton is a wasted spot. plus that he is a 3rd party character.Who says this is the last DLC character?
I'm reminded of a similar thing occurring leading up to Brawl's release (Or maybe it was DLC, I can't recall).
Good times, goooood times.
Really odd choice if this is all true. Professor Layton isn't quite on the same level as Pac-Man, Sonic or Ryu as far as impact or popularity goes.
On the shop, they do have a "character pack 1" with the four DLC characters so far, implying that there would be a 2.Obviously not but i'm sure that the amount of how many DLC characters they can add will be coming to an end really soon, and I feel a "joke character"* for a fighting game like Layton is a wasted spot. plus that he is a 3rd party character.
*I'm fully aware that Smash 4 already has a few joke characters (like Villager, WTF) for a fighting game, but none of them were DLC.
Yep, one of the most memorable fake leaks of the Brawl days was about Professor Layton being in Brawl. Along with, I think, Little Mac?
