| LuckyTrouble said: On topic: Layton would be a seriously odd choice. I mean, in the Professor Layton games, you basically just listen to him talk (or read what he says), solve puzzles, and watch a scene here or there. His games don't exactly lend themselves to giving him something that resembles a viable move set. |
I'm guessing you've never played the games. You may not control it, but Layton has shown himself to be a highly skilled fighter, both with traditional and unconventional weapons. People have suggested him using the slot-machine gun he made in The Unwound Future/The Lost Future, his rapier from The Diabolical Box/Pandora's Box, his foil from The Miracle Mask, and the pipe he uses in The Eternal Diva (movie). Other items from various Layton games would also make sense in his moveset, too. One really interesting moveset is suggested here. And then there's the Laytonmobile, and a heap of other things he's made or used in various games, like catapults, gliders, toy robots, hamsters, etc.
Other people have suggested moves directly inspired by puzzles that appear often in Layton - matchsticks, sliding blocks, etc. And there's even an opportunity to add an extra reference, by having him also use tetris pieces (which appeared in a few puzzles).
Besides, you'd probably say the same thing about Captain Falcon, Wii Fit Trainer, Villager, Mr Game & Watch, Rosalina & Luma, and ROB.
