Pic of the day. You can find this statue of the Goddess of Light in one of the stages. She's watching over the arena.

A new Kid Icarus stage confirmed!

Frolow · Jan 29, 2014

Duckroll please.

Aaron Strife · Jan 29, 2014

Probably proves that rumor false then.

Hours Left · Jan 29, 2014

WOW.

This is truly hilarious. XD

I would say the opposite.

Omg.

Amazing.

Mariolee · Jan 29, 2014

Sakurai is busting my balls right now.

Anustart · Jan 29, 2014

Palutena is a stage hazard confirmed.

Kimosabae · Jan 29, 2014

Damn, not even Ono is this good.

Moonlight · Jan 29, 2014

High level trolling on Sakurai's part, lol.

Aaron Strife said:

This reminds me of the people saying Toon Link was cut because of that one 3DS screen where he's the conductor on the train stage. And I don't think anyone's gonna be confused between their Palutena and the giant marble one in the middle of the stage.

SloaneRisette · Jan 29, 2014

...

SAKURAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

Vylash · Jan 29, 2014

Damn, guess she's not playable

Who knows? It might change depending on whether Palutena is used in that level.

I still believe!

This doesnt meant that at all.

gngf123 · Jan 29, 2014

Before we start saying there is no chance any more.

Wishmaster92 · Jan 29, 2014

What a troll.

Hiltz · Jan 29, 2014

What's with her angel wings ? Was that a thing in Kid Icarus: Uprising, or is it just something exclusive to Smash Bros 4 ?

Moonlight · Jan 29, 2014

Hey, but maybe we could cross-reference the Palutena leak with the statue model? Not to say that they'd be the same, but could lend credence to either side of the debate.

Sciz · Jan 29, 2014

I can only assume that the Smash community at large is already cross-referencing this image with her Brawl model, Uprising model, and the 3DS pictures to pick out every little difference.

Gleethor · Jan 29, 2014

He JUST went out of his way last week to show what happens when a playable character is also a background character in a stage, so this points more towards ol Pally being playable if you ask me.

Wait, I missed this. What happened last week?

Red Arremer · Jan 29, 2014

Clearly, Palutena is too big to be playable. This screenshot confirms it.

Mihael Mello Keehl · Jan 29, 2014

Sakurai...........

The Toon Link on the Spirit Tracks level is replaced with another character if Toon Link happens to be in the match.

Hours Left · Jan 29, 2014

People actually think this means she's not playable?

We had Toon Link himself appear in a stage and he's still in, this is just a statue of Palutena. This is totally a response to the leak, and it solidifies it more than ever IMO.

If you play on the spirit train (which normally has conducter toon link on board) as toon link, Alfonzo replaces him as conducter.

zroid · Jan 29, 2014

Sakurai's such a cad

Tookay · Jan 29, 2014

This points... to him being a troll. That's my stance.

Azure J · Jan 29, 2014

The levels of deflection Sakurai has been using with this one character are nigh incomprehensible. This is agonizing.

Otakumegane · Jan 29, 2014

Dat troll.

Lunar15 · Jan 29, 2014

Yay, at least this means there's a kid icarus stage on the Wii U! Probably just a reference to the original though.

Tripon · Jan 29, 2014

Sakurai god level troll

RoombaDance · Jan 29, 2014

Oh you troll as hard as Sakurai.

Palutena: Soon.....

Kazerei · Jan 29, 2014

Well played Sakurai, well played

Mojojo · Jan 29, 2014

I find weird the color of the statue compared to the plinth she rests on, like it's breakable.. Maybe when you play paletuna on this stage, the stone covering shatters and she jumps on the fight arena.

Fiktion · Jan 29, 2014

lol @ people thinking a fucking statue means a deconfirmation

If anything trolling of this level confirms that she's in.

Context

Crayolan · Jan 29, 2014

Thread title not misleading enough

Master level trolling by Sakurai here, I'm laughing so hard at this.

Griss · Jan 29, 2014

I was team fake, but now I'm pretty convinced she's playable. Sakurai is too clever to mess with people this way only to let them down. She's in.

Even if she was a character, it doesn't necessarily mean that the "leak" was legit.

DICKS AHOY · Jan 29, 2014

obviously it's going to be the statue that's playable you guys, jeez
