Phoenix/Layton vs Crash/Spyro: which highly requested "duo" would you rather have in Smash?

[kurahador]

Adding Layton would mean adding another anime sword user.

My boy Crash 👌👌

Layton has such a cool moveset possibilities it hurts that he's unlikely to make it in. Imagine his attacks all being based on different puzzles, finding hint coins in the environment to heal himself like Steve does resources, his final Smash is just his victory animation from the game...

Ugh he's my #2 most wanted after Geno. Level Five needs to bring him back just so he can be in Smash.

Layton and Phoenix actually have history with Nintendo so I'd go with them, Phoenix I'd especially like to see.

Real talk, what IS history with Nintendo?
Spyro debuted on Nintendo/GBA 2 and a half weeks after Ace Attorney released, which was 4 years before the western port on DS. Sure, it had 3 PS1 exclusive games prior to that, but after that, it was always a Nintendo franchise, even if it wasn't the lead platform for the home console versions. It had 3 exclusive GBA games, a GBA exclusive crossover game with Crash, and a DS exclusive sequel to the multiplatform Heroes Tail. Outside of those, every game released on Nintendo as well as the PS console (Xbox got most of them), and the Legend of Spyro trilogy ALSO got exclusive versions for the current handhelds of the time.

Hell, here in the UK, Professor Layton and the Curious Village released in the same month as the final Spyro game, before they started the Skylanders stuff. The series had had 5 Nintendo console games, 3 of which had Nintendo handheld exclusive versions, 5 exclusive handheld games, and come to a conclusion (until the trilogy remake a decade later, which means every Spyro game is available on a Nintendo platform in some form) by the time the first Professor Layton game released.

How is that not history with Nintendo?

Crash and Spyro are way more iconic characters, and platformer mascots will always be more fun than more humans.

 

[Aurora]

Do we really want a character like this in Smash

 

[ThereAreFourNaan]

Obviously my preferred combo would be BJ Blazko + Anya from Wolfenstein.

 

[Alent]

Can we mix & match? Spyro and Phoenix. Though any non-human would be more fun tbh

 

[Z-Beat]

Phoenix already got into one fighting game. Let's give Crash/Spyro a chance

 

[StrappingYoungLance]

Phoenix/Crash 👀

But also Crash/Spyro just because we have enough basically human characters in Smash.

 

[SNRUB]

Era showing it's shit side once again as always

 

[Baby Bird]

Anyone as long as Phoenix Wright is added as well

 

[Parthenios]

Layton and Wright are essentially Nintendo characters, so them.

 

[MisterGrey3000]

I feel like Crash/Spyro would win this poll outside of Era, but maybe I'm wrong.

A guy who fucks like Hunter Biden?

Yes.

Wright/Layton. Mainly for Phoenix. The Ace Attorney series is great and his UMVC3 moveset was inventive and fun. Seeing a Smash take on it would be interesting.
