Nihilego

Chance: 35%
The only thing that this Ultra Beast has over the rest of the competition is that it's the forerunner of the Ultra Beasts and one of the most prominent ones outside of Buzzwole and Pheromosa. It has a unique design archetype that would lead to a fairly interesting moveset and appearance as it has a Rock/Poison typing allowing it to showcase move properties or effects not seen yet, such as Poison typed specials damaging over time, and stage control with rock moves.
However, compared to the other UBs I've mentioned, Nihilego doesn't have much going it's way compared to those two, even compared to popular picks such as Decidueye or Incineroar, not to mention a probable Gen 3/Hoenn Pokémon.
I'm honestly surprised it's not even in a Poke Ball, because that's all I can see this little interdimensional parasite getting.

Want: 45%
It would fit the bill as a UB and stand out from
the rest of the Pokémon thus far, not to mention celebrating the series 20th anniversary game, so I'm actually okay with seeing it get in. I'm not actively wanting it by any means, but I'm okay with it if it got in.

Nihilego

Chance: 2%
I don't think this Pokemon has much of a chance over the others. It is an Ultrabeast yeah, but there are just better choices out there for the next Pokemon rep who are more recognizable.

Want: 10%
It might make for an interesting move set, who knows? And it would be fun to see an UB vs a legendary (Mew2)

Nihilego isn't the worst pick out there, but it's not really that popular to my knowledge.

Want: 5%
There are just a ton of other Pokemon I'd rather have. Silvally, Mimikyu, Gengar, etc. Honestly I think it would be cooler for Nihilego to show up as a part of an Ultra Space themed stage than as a fighter

Nihilego

Chance: 10%
While there are other Pokémon that are getting more attention, such as Decidueye, Incineroar, Lycanroc, Tapo Koko, and supposedly Gardevoir and Gothitelle, I could see Nihilego being shoehorned in as a wildcard character during a Pokémon newcomer's trailer as an invader, similar to Richter in Simon's trailer. But there's also another Ultra Beast that is more fit for Smash (Buzzwole), and Nihilego isn't the most popular beast, so I'm playing it safe with a 10%.

Want: 95%
While my favorite Ultra Beast and my most wanted newcomer is Xurkitree, I would be really happy if any of the Ultra Beasts made it into Smash Bros in some way, as playable, Pokeball, or even a stage boss. Nihilego would also make a very interesting character with an original moveset. It could have moves such as Leech Life where it would latch onto a fighter's head and drain their health to recover its own, Sludge Wave as either a laser or rush attack, etc.

Katrielle Layton

Chance: 1%
Third party slots are already limited and I don't see why she would make it in over her more iconic dad. It'd be like if they added Pichu but not Pikachu. Even if Hershel Layton did make it in, I'm not sure if they would go out of their way to make Katrielle as an echo.

Want: 20%
I'm usually against third parties, but the Layton series is basically entirely Nintendo so I'm not bothered in that aspect (the colorful artstyle would also help her fit in well). I've honestly never played a PL game though from what I've seen she seems like she could work as a Layton clone and utilize puzzle-solving techniques. That being said, Layton deserves the spot more than her.

Katrielle Layton

Chance and Want:



Regarding Chance:

Katrielle's only factor going for her is relevancy since she has taken over as the new main protagonist of the Layton series and has an anime airing that stars her.

But those two things aside, there's one major issue that holds her back from being in Smash, and it's that she isn't her dad, Professor Layton. If anyone will be picked to represent the Layton series on the playable roster, it's Professor Layton, not her. Professor Layton has been around for far longer and is thus far more recognized and popular. Additionally, he is considered to be the face of the series. Sure, he may not be the central main character any longer, but he still has a major role in the anime, and he is even set to have a key role in future Layton's Mystery Journey games because of Katrielle's goal of finding him.

But I feel like I'm going too far into the future, aren't I? Come to think of it, that's also an issue for Katrielle that's related to her competition with the Professor. Since the roster was decided back in 2015, this was at a time when Katrielle wasn't even revealed to the public and the last main series Layton game (Azran Legacy in 2014) still featured Professor Layton as the star.

She could work as a potential Layton echo, but again, with the timing of the roster's decision, I doubt she'd be added as a Layton echo if Layton is added to the base roster. She might have a better shot at being added as DLC, but again, I'm certain Professor Layton would get priority first.

Regarding Want:

I like Katrielle, but I think Professor Layton should be added first before she can be considered as a potential Smash candidate.

I'm not even sold on Profesor Layton getting into Smash anytime soon as playable... let alone her. But I guess there's always that small chance of her getting Echo'd onto the Profesor if he did make it in.
Want - 30%
She's cute. I never really was sold on the series getting into Smash whenever Profesor Layton popped into discussion, but she is a bit more appealing to me as she has more character to her design than him. He's pretty dull in comparison to her to be honest at first look.

Katrielle Layton

Chance: 2%
She’s the lead of the franchise now (to my chagrin). She stars in an anime, and her game has been released on 3DS and Switch. Unfortunately for her, it was released in 2017, so she has really no chance of getting in. Plus, let’s not kid ourselves, when it comes to Smash it’s the Prof or noff (sorry).

Want: 1%
Pros of Katrielle Layton: she’s cute.
End pros.

Cons of Katrielle Layton: to be frank, her game was probably the biggest letdown of last year for me. I’m a huge fan of the Layton games, so I just had to buy Layton’s Mystery Journey. But then... the story was virtually nonexistent. The puzzles were either way too easy or not satisfactory to solve. And Katrielle is such a poorly written character - like a Maya Fey knockoff, but without personality and depth. A huge Mary Sue, a dumb person who just looked smart because the story and world reassembled themselves around her.

I desperately wanted to like Katrielle, but I don’t. I hope she doesn’t even get in as an Echo.

Style Savvy character prediction: she’ll be underrated for sure. 4%

Barely avoids a double zeroes by the potential prospect of being a Layton echo I guess. But from what we've seen from the Direct I don't expect more characters from unrepresented series, diminishing Layton's already fairly low chances (he'd make sense as a Smash candidate, but his chances are diluted in an ocean of other worthwhile ones), and then she would have to get in as a Richter-like deal.

I personally touched the Layton series, but only barely, and not with Katrielle's game, so I don't really have a strong reason to want her.

Adding nominations later because the save draft option doesn't appear on mobile for some reason. I want to check the list before doing the same error as with Ken.

Edit: adding noms.

If there's going to be a Level 5 rep, it's going to be Jibanyan. That's something I'm certain about.
Aside from that, she wasn't around for the ballot and I don't think she'd get around her competition in Professor Layton, Jibanyan, and even Endou of Inazuma Eleven.

Want: 25%
I'm not opposed to her being a fighter and I have no problem with Kat, but I'm not exactly in a rush to see her as a fighter in Smash either. She's more likely to appear as a trophy, Assist, or part of someone else's moveset, and I wouldn't mind any of those.

Does she even have a support thread?

Anyway, if anyone from the Professor Layton series got in, it would be (surprise, surprise) the professor himself. There are only a few cases of a character getting in before the titular character of that series, and that's only in cases like Legend of Zelda where the title character is not the playable one.

Layton had a lot of supprt in the Sm4sh days, but it seems to have cooled a bit since then. Still, that all explains his likeliness, not hers. Just because Richter came in as an echo of Simon doesn't imply that every thrid-party newcomer will then get an echo as well. Especially if, as the game is a puzzle game in the first place, the moveset will need to be almost entirely made up.

No thanks

This was honestly close to being a straight zero. If Professor Layton gets represented, which I'm fairly unsure about to begin with, her father is absolutely going to be the first pick. Her only shot is as a late echo, and there are many other characters I see getting that treatment before her.

Want: 0%

No interest whatsoever. While I wouldn't mind Layton representation at all, her father should be the character chosen for his series and I don't think he should come with an echo.

If we're getting someone from Professor Layton series, it has to be the titular character, which I'm not sure if he'll make it into the base roster at this point. The only way I could see her is if they made her an echo of her father. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind if they somehow make her a trophy in Ultimate.

She could become the new face of the Layton franchise (since the game is more popular with girls than boys, they went for a female main character), it doesn't change the fact that she's too new to have any chance. At this moment, Prof Layton is still way more popular than her, so, i don't see it happening.

While i would like to see some Layton's representation, i don't like her, her father is way better.

I feel Professor Layton himself would have to get in first. Having never touched the Layton series, my only familiarity of it was that crossover the Professor had with Phoenix Wright. If you're gonna pull the Echo card on Katrielle, go ahead, but I'm starting to get turned off by the idea of Echo Fighters for the sake of having one.

I suppose she could appear as an Echo, but that's assuming the prerequisite of Daddy Layton making it happened. While Layton isn't impossible, he himself seems to have a very uphill battle and Katrielle is no Richter-relevant equivalent (yet). I like her design and personality though.

IMO Professor Layton barely has the moveset potential to qualify for Smash, and I have even less of an idea what Katrielle would do. She has no support thread, and I'm not going to comb through the plot synopsis (and spoil the game) to find things that could be attacks - She's only in one game, so it's probably less than Professor Layton.

Personally, I think Katrielle has a chance, but that is only because she could be a possible echo for Professor Layton. I think Descole holds a better chance being an echo, being one of the fan-favorite characters of the Layton series. Not much to say about her chances honestly, though she is a newcomer worth keeping an eyebrow to say the very very least.

Layton the Daughter

1% chance

If Layton made it in I could see them using his daughter as an echo. However, I have already been very negative towards Layton himself. With the current climate for third parties I am a skeptic. Ballot support may help Layton but it would not have helped his daughter. As such, I doubt she would be an echo of the professor even if he made it in.

Abstain want

Have not played her game, need to play more PL games. I played the first three, need to play the rest.

The fact that it had a song in SSB4 helps a bit but I think it's still an obscure pick to put into Smash. WFT got in since Wii Fit was a massive success, but I don't think Style Savvy is near that level of notability.

Could be interesting to have another joke character like WFT, but I don't know much about the series so I won't comment.

Nominations:
Terry Bogard x10

Dumb question but are we supposed to predict the upcoming character's chance %, want %, or both?

Slow day for RTC, huh? Guess not many thought highly of Kat. Although, it feels sad to learn how many people underplay the Professor’s chances. Oh well.

Reminder: posts less than two sentences long will not have their nominations counted. Abstaining is fine though.

Reinhardt’s trophy and Rowlet overtake Linkle and Thwomp and tie for fourth place. Whoever was nominating Linkle and Thwomp should probably get back at it, because at this rate, Hanafuda character, Ray and Terry Bogard are looking to take their spots.

More than 5 unique newcomers breaks 150 nominations.

Jin Kazama, Nathan Drake and Gardevoir all pass 100 nominations (in fact, they’re all tied with 110).

Amaterasu howls past 50 noms.

Reimu Hakurei and Hilda leave the under 25 club.

Edit:
Style Savvy Character

Chance: 5%
The fact that it had a song in SSB4 helps a bit but I think it's still an obscure pick to put into Smash. WFT got in since Wii Fit was a massive success, but I don't think Style Savvy is near that level of notability.

Want: Abstain
Could be interesting to have another joke character like WFT, but I don't know much about the series so I won't comment.

Nominations:
Terry Bogard x10

Dumb question but are we supposed to predict the upcoming character's chance %, want %, or both?
Predictions are for what the character’s aggregate chance score is, but I’ve seen people predict want too a few times.
