Man that went over your head.
We've had pages of people seriously arguing Batman should be in this game,
sometimes it's hard to tell jokes in the smash thread. :/

Why would a leaker conform to whatever Nintendo does? lol

Hm. I guess I'll have to keep *gulp* double checking 4chan over the next few days.

2 months too early for a Kid Icarus reveal anyway. Uprising came out on the 22nd of March in Japan.
If sakurai didn't do anything for the anniversary of smash bros, what makes you think sakurai would do anything for that?

Is this supposed to help confirm the picture is legit?

It is supposed to confirm that there are trees in smash brothers.
Villager confirmed...?

Because he's unpredictable. And he showed off Zelda in the ALBW release for Japan. And Dedede for Triple Deluxe, again for Japan.
Maybe the 3DS version isn't as far along. Wasn't it mentioned that both may not release simultaneously?
Either way, it's a reminder that I should play Uprising
Those are for game releases, not anniversaries. More advertisement than anything.
That picture (that I assume was made to debunk the leak?) actually also aids the theory that both Palutena and Mario are on the rightmost platform. It all adds up very nicely.

Good point.

Right, but Peach was released on Anniversary tho.
As mentioned earlier, this is a leaker, not Nintendo. It is weird. Regardless, I'm willing to put aside my usual a cynicism and hope that this is legit.

Someone made the statement at smashboards
No it doesn't.
That would mean the angle is swiveled to the right like it is on that TL & Link shot and we would be able to see Mario's whole face like Toon Link, not see Palutena's face clearly like Link's, and see the tree behind Mario, which Toon Link is blocking and is at the edge of the platform.
Though I'm not even sure what that pic proves lol.
This is what bugs me the most. They had to have implemented some kind of usable screenshot tool.
I'm maining Bill Murray's head.
I suppose that is one person who would probably have the resources and would put in the effort to model it out for a fake leak.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I'm skeptical...
But then again we got a lot of authentic leaks with Pokemon XY, so I'm a little more accepting that something like this could leak.
I just hope we get confirmation on its legitimacy sooner than later.

It seems this daily pic/info is leading towards less gimping. Combining that with info like Link getting a Meteor Smash and we might be seeing better off-ledge games.
Gimping in 64 is incredibly frustrating and low level crap, but it's extremely effective so most people edge hog after gimps rather easily. In Smash 4, it seems edge hogging will be less of a tactic since air time is being calculated into edge grabs, so players won't be able to jump off and grab the ledge, restricting the other player from grabbing it because their invincibility frames will be much shorter. As a result, this could lead to a better off-ledge game instead of just holding the ledge from someone, although that was less of a problem in Brawl anyway because of how easy it was combined with the terrible air game.
I love spiking people, so anything that brings us back to that over Brawl's ease of grabbing the ledge and extra floatiness is a plus.

Has anyone thought that there is an absence of a UI or HUD on the Palutena picture because that has been moved to the bottom screen on the 3DS version?
MagiusNecros
Gilgamesh Fan Annoyance
Pretty sure every official screenshot also lacks a UI.
TheLegendOfCap

Yeah but those are Press images, they should not have a UI. I've seen some people argue that the pictures are fake because there is no UI and looks like a stages PR image.
They could be screenshots, yes, and lack of UI has multiple explanations.
Only other time off the top of my head:
Why does this have a bit of black on the right side?
No. Pik isn't an animator, first of all, he is a modeler. Secondly, he wouldn't waste his time doing something like this.
Whoever posted that on smashboards is an idiot lol.
MagiusNecros
Gilgamesh Fan Annoyance
It depends really. We haven't really seen much gameplay of the 3DS version and in any instance only ever did we see footage of the top screen. So I dunno if they moved all the battle data to the bottom screen.
Assuming the pictures are real, whoever took them had to have paused the game to zoom in and change the angle, so obviously the HUD isn't going to be visible.
EDIT: Looking over the screens again, Palutena looks more influenced by her Uprising art than her actual Uprising model. Why would someone go to such lengths to fake a character who was probably getting in anyway?

I would hate to see people being disappointed by fake picture and Palutena didn't even make in the game as playable character at same time because people put their hope on the picture that can't even explained.

I say fake until proven fact. Grump grump
Just like with all the other "rumors".

Because Smash fans can be insane and the character speculation for this franchise is always an event.
The way I see it, it's a well done model, and the other elements like Mario and the stage are well staged. But it has the same hallmark as other fake leaks like the badly framed offscreen shot, simple poses, and not really showing anything new besides the character that might validate the leak.

I don't want to say legit in case in case it gets my hopes up, but it's very doubtful that is it fake.
She's one of my top characters I want as a newcomer, so this is very exciting (and triggering skepticism naturally). After all this could be a leak, but the leaker wants to make it seem like she's playable when she's not, or something
But I'm a little bit of a believer, just a believer that's suspicious of someone coming forward two weeks from now saying it's fake.
IF this is legit, she looks awesome
edit: If this is also legit, it would make a bit more sense for the 3DS one to leak, because after all it is portable.
Honestly the biggest clue pointing one way or the other could be the inclusion of Mario. If no one is able to find a released 3DS screenshot or vid with that exact frame/pose (and if that Mario model is identical to 3DS Smash Mario)... this could be legit.
Who knows.. either way, pretty fun occurrence to pass the time waiting for the next big reveal

The models and textures are completely distinct from each other. I've just never seen a fake this convincing before they always use existing assets and people are able to disprove them within hours. This is literally a brand new Palutena model.
Wow. Difference is night and day.
BigEvilTurtle's frame comparison confirms that Mario is totally new, alongside my previous comparison.
Pretty sure the leak's fake, personally. Can't specifically pinpoint why, but there's a lot of small bits that are adding up (the Developer Direct Mario, the weird position of the background stuff, the staff not looking exactly right).
It's well done for sure but I'm still saying no. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.
