Fellow Layton fan here, what up
I’d say as just non-canon free DLC characters, Gooey, Marx, and the animal friends don’t have increased chances, especially since there will be others that will added and it will kinda become a pool of old characters with no one being the “main one,” if that makes any sense.
This. Well mostly for Brinstar. I LOVE the music and the way stage is even in Final Destination mode.
He used a slot machine gun at one point.
They COULD use stuff from notable puzzles or scenes from professor Layton, as he's all about quick and logical thinking, using stuff from the surrounding area as tools or weapons. Like the time he made a slot machine gun from slot machine parts that fires coins.
I would be fine with this if it had a new engine. Most people don't care as long as there are a ton of new characters, but I want new mechanics more than anything.
Mario: Fawful, King Boo, E Gadd
Layton's meat and potatoes are the puzzles, the sword is just a minor part of him that he shows off from time to time in a couple of animated cutscenes, I'd sooner see him use a leadpipe though as far as battering items go as he doesn't even have his own sword. I personally hope they just leave the whole sword thing with him for items like the beam sword or Lip's stick (Since their generally just weapons he finds lying around anyway, even in his games) and just focus entirely on the puzzle and contraptions aspect for his moveset. Bring in the Slot machine gun and Catapult if they need something from the animated cutscenes.
Neat, Kirby Star Allies DLC discussion
Yeah, but it's not like it'll be the exact same game. It's true that gameplay definitely wouldn't evolve in the same way that it would for a new game, but it really doesn't matter. Well, I say that, but I know there are some people who'd love the prospect of a more competitive smash bros. game. With that being said, that would just make the issue a minor one if nothing else. Which, again, isn't worth arguing about.
coming back
Bowyer, Romani, FElicia, Walrein, Kumatora.
Most of them return, except for maybe cloud. Snake is dead.What do you guys think of the fate of the Third Party Characters we have now

What Leak?
Turns speaker up to max volume "CALLLLLLIIIIINNNG TTOOO THHE NIGGHT"
I think Sonic is about as close to 100% as you can get. I think Mega Man, Pac-Man, and Bayonetta are right along with there. I think they'll try to bring back Ryu and Cloud if possible, and I don't see any obstacles in the way of that, so I'm expecting them.What do you guys think of the fate of the Third Party Characters we have now

Some guy who's dad literally works at Nintendo said on reddit that Smash is a new game. Another redditor did some looking into and found out who his dad is and revealed he really did work at Nintendo and is an exec there. Several hours later, the guy who revealed the dude's father deleted his 2 year old account.
So is it confirmed that actually is his dad?
Maybe. Only 1 person did their investigations.
I think that id we have any chance of getting another SquareEnix rep it will either be Geno for obvious reasons or a Dragon Quest character since the series has a long history with Nintendo.
I don't REALLY know how likely either of those options are, but I love them both. Geno is such a fun character idea, and there's SO much you could do with a Dragon Quest character.
I'd say most of them are pretty safe, Pac-Man's a lock if Namco's co-developing this entry (and we currently don't know whether or not that's the case, before anyone responds to this) and is pretty safe otherwise, Cloud could go either way, and there's still some unanswered questions regarding Snake's exclusion from Smash 4 and the current state of Konami.What do you guys think of the fate of the Third Party Characters we have now

This is subjective; however, in the case of most third-party characters, the game-play does not seem to have much to do with anything. Sakurai cut Chrom and was hesitant about Corrin and yet made Cloud when the only real difference was a superior KO punch mechanic and a projectile.
Even if Namco was not co-developing the game, it is still essentially a lock.
Realistically, it might be Sora if they take ballot results vaguely seriously. Who knows, maybe Geno or a Dragon Quest character somehow topped one of Square Enix's biggest characters.
Hmm, interesting. I just feel (even though Smash hasn't worked this way) that any major series should have a villain included...Recurring characters in general are pretty few and far between, outside of sequels and remakes. Fire Emblem is set up like Final Fantasy where each game is usually a radically different world, barring specific circumstances.
There are some pretty good villains though. Some fan favorites include Hardin from FE3/12, Berkut from FE15, Arvis from FE4, Lyon from FE8, and the Black Knight from FE9 and FE10. Of them Hardin is probably my favorite (he's among my favorite Fire Emblem characters in general), and if he got in he'd likely use his Emperor persona, wielding the Gradivus lance and being heavily armored.

Hardin's honestly a pretty tragic character too. In the War of Shadows (the war that took place in Shadow Dragon that was the start of Marth's story), he was his among Marth's closest allies, leading the Aurelian troops alongside Marth's Altean League and helping to keep Princess Nyna, the last living member of the Archanean royal family, safe. Come FE3/12, the sequel, and he marries her...for political reasons. He thinks it's genuine love, but it's not. I won't get into why here, but he sinks into a depression and in his moment of vulnerability, he's corrupted by the dark sorcerer Gharnef and brainwashed, basically, using his immense power to try to rule over the entire continent with an iron fist.
He only regains his old mind when Marth kills him, realizing what he'd done while possessed. He's a sad and really interesting character for a lot of reasons, but none that are relevant to Smash, haha.
That being said, due to the way Fire Emblem characters are chosen, a villain is more than likely not gonna happen, especially since they don't tend to be as popular as the game's protagonist anyway (even the Black Knight, the most popular antagonist, isn't as popular as Ike).
Et voila:
For example, what was the exact reasoning behind Snake's absence? I'm sure most will agree that the state of Konami during Smash 4's DLC period probably didn't help matters then, but what about the base roster?
It's not so much that he lacks from a gameplay perspective, quite the opposite, he has a lot to work with, wether it's from the tools he build, to the animal buddies from his assistant, to the thousands of puzzles he can use. Not to mention the general theme of the game regarding critical thinking and throwing off the player and keeping them guessing. All of which can be incorporated into his general playstyle.
Black Shadow and Ganon. Not a Ganondorf rework, but the literal monster form of Ganon. The worst part is, even if one of these came true by a miracle, the other likely would not.
That does not make my point untrue. It just means that you do not agree. I was talking about what the difference between it being a port and it being a new game is to me. If the engine is (nearly) the same then that means Smash Bros. is another step in the opposite direction of Wii U owners. I just will not pay 300 (Switch) + 60 (any game) + 80 (Pro controller) euros for what is essentially DLC for games I have already bought.
I still completely disagree. If it is not something you think is worth discussing, then that doesn't mean the same is true for others. To me, it being a port would mean I wouldn't really care for this, imo, falsely advertised DLC. If this is a new game, then that means a legitimately new game for the Switch, and thus possibly another reason to buy the console.
I might be mixing up the timeline; however, I am fairly certain the Konami fiasco started during the development as is. Even if not, there was the behind the scenes aspect that Sakurai would have likely been aware of, albeit, I am fairly certain Kojima said he wanted Snake or something to that effect (although, again, notably not during the ballot).
But she's too big like RidleyMario newcomers? That's easy, a character who can represent Odyssey.
And I can think of no better choice than
