Professor Layton is the eponymous protagonist of the best-selling Professor Layton series for the Nintendo DS. He is a 37-year old professor of archaeology at Gressenheller University who loves tea, solving riddles and, of course, puzzles.
Professor Layton is an archaeologist who lives in London, and is known around the world for his puzzle-solving skills. He teaches archaeology at Gressenheller University. Professor Layton is an English gentleman. He is incredibly brave, itelligent and athletic as shown in all of his games. When he solves a puzzle incorrectly, he becomes embarassed. His pride and joy is the Laytonmobile, his card, customized with a high roof because "a true gentleman should never take his hat of".
A classic gentleman, he has a great love for tea, and an even greater love for puzzles. He is also followed by his young apprentice, Luke Triton, who has an analogous relationship to one shared by Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, with Holmes/Layton being the primary, more adept puzzle solver, and Dr. Watson/Luke being the less experienced, but equally logically minded assistant.
Like Mario, Professor Layton is a well-balanced fighter, with smooth attacks, which deal medium damage and knockback. For most of his attacks, Layton uses a Rapier, a kind of sword, and other multiple devices from his series such as a camera, a mechanical umbrella, a slot machine gun, laser goggles and even his hat to attack his enemies. He has avarage recovery and jumping but great aerial combat and is very unprecidented for his attacks. His Special Moves deal more damage whereas his Smash Attacks deal more knockback. Layton's Standard Special, the Slot Machine Gun, works similarly to the Nintendo Scope, only less knockback. It can also be charged. Layton also has the ability to reflect attacks, just like Mario, with his Side Special, the Camera. Not only does it reflect projectiles, but it also disables opponents by making them dizzy, thus making it more efficient for Layton to attack them. His Up Special, the Umbrella, is a great move for horizontal, vertical and even diagonial recovery and also deals quite damage and knockback. Layton's Down Special, the Laser Goggles can trap opponents and deal heavy damage but have slight knockback.
One of Layton's drawbacks are his Grabs and Throws due to being very slow and having below avarage knockback. But aside that, Professor Layton is a character suitable for Intermediate players.
