The problem with that is, someone obviously went against the "group" and posted the info to begin with, so why didn't that person just post the full roster? Are we to believe he had a sudden change of heart and decided not to reveal everything? I believe the leak, but the whole thing reeks of trolling to me and I won't be surprised at all if it's fake.
Didn't you say the Player mix up is only possible by online mode.
I'm just assuming here, but online play does need to be tested prior to release, so perhaps the servers aren't fully up like when the game is released, but more just to test and try to find bugs and such.
The same scenario would apply to local play as well. People can drop out in local play.
*Shrugs* No idea. Fact is, clearly he didn't. Since we don't know the true scenario surrounding this, speculating as to what makes sense to leak/not leak is moot. Unless we know the circumstances, we cannot know what would make sense to leak.
Some do some don't.
Impossible to know. Some argue that the ESRB MUST have seen the full roaster list, so this must be final. Some argue that as long as the ESRB sees the whole roster, the roster list itself need not be complete.
Can you show me why we know for certain the Palutena leak was fake? I know the model doesn't match what's in game 100%, but it's pretty close. The leak happened ages ago (one of the very first leaks), I feel like some model changes could have been done in that time.
First, characters are probably number 1 priority in a game. They've probably been done for a long time, not including clones. The models for both Palutena AND Mario are way off.
There's definitely way more space between the letters.The font for "SONIC" looks a little different to me... It could just be the angle and quality.
The "?" Icon also seems to have shifted a little bit...
The spacing of the question mark also looks like it's a bit more centered, but this is also a different mode...
We knew the model for Mario was off when we first saw the leak. At that point we just assumed the leak was for a while earlier and that the Mario model had changed. Why didn't we assume that for Palutena?
The faces are 100% different. Her revealed face is a lot flatter and simplistic looking. However its completely possible they toned down the detail on the character models later on to make the game run smoother. Almost every beta in history changes character models every once in a while. BUT that's only a possibility.
So you are saying that it's PROBABLY fake. Which is what I thought. We'll never actually know 100%.
Don't get upset with our probably false theories. The facts that Sakurai have stated is they staggered the release dates so they could put their entire balancing/bug testing teams on each game one at a time, not for sales reasons or to produce DLC. That's all we know for sure.
True! Just like how US is P1 and Japan is 1P. Important things to consider.
This exact same statement appears on the other European sites, translated.
Ehhh probably yes. But its still possible they made a new model later. It's a slim chance since if you watch the SSB and SSB4 trailers the models usually don't change at all. The weirdest thin is if you look here: http://i.imgur.com/SjH0yXM.png Palutena has a mario star on her belt thing. But the final design lacks that: http://www.smashbros.com/images/og/palutena.jpg
Yes, but at the time of the leak we were very far from getting an actual trailer with Palutena, so the "model lock" wouldn't have happened yet.
It could go both ways. Pit was already sharing her current face design. His face isn't usually that flat looking either in Uprising. There's some stuff against but there's a chaaaance that was an early higher detail beta model. I think comparing her stances to the revealed character's stances is the best way to know the truth. Changing a rig is unlikely since its very tedious.
That is a very good point, and wouldn't he lose his job by revealing all this?
There is a "colour forward" and "colour backward" button. It's possible we saw the last metal sonic colour first.
Especially because it'd be traced so easily. The ESRB knows what screens they were sent, and they know which three people saw them.
My guess here is that Sonic is a special case, since he's a third party character and, honestly, I don't expect third parties to get more than one character.
That's a good point. I don't think we will get any extra characters for third party franchises so adding characters as alts would be a good way to avoid that. Megaman should get a Protoman alt.
And Pac-man can get Mrs. Pacman, or a different version of Pacman
Well that's true. My bad.
