Pros
  • Text is 100% accurate to the Direct
  • Characters line up with Gematsu + Ridley and Mewtwo. Maybe K Rool if Wolf/ROB/Lucas are cut
  • The reality is convincing. A beta version of the demo at Best Buy. Hiding camera to prevent tracking location/leaker. Pixelation when image is close.
  • If faked, the fake was made well. Someone of this level would not leave obvious plotholes such as the odd numbers above the characters. Also the characters being unlocked along the way. It's odd enough that the faker wouldn't do that. More likely, the leaker just took pics and uploaded them fast as he could.
  • Post being removed within 2 hours of posting. (Caught?)
  • A leak very soon after a character reveal, not even showing that character. (Ike).
  • Text and layout is identical to Music menu already revealed. But not enough to be copy pasted and edited slightly. Sure it could be retouched in photoshop, but that seems unlikely given the theme of the layout.

Cons
  • Ridley not being fully shown. He would be the only character to not have art already made, which would be hard to fake for a leaker.
Indifferent

  • Spots on the images.
    1. On one side, the time indicated by the leaker does not make sense with more spots on the screen for the WFT pic.
    2. But, this doesnt make the leak fake. It just adds something odd to the table
  • Some Weird explanation for characters being added.
    1. One Version for Tourney, one for casual?
    2. Maybe One version is for invitational while the other is for the at Best Buy? Wouldn't make much sense but it could possibly explain why one screen had more smudges than the other, they are different screens for different demos.
  • The Leak is so intricate, it could go either way. It hasn't been disproven legitimately, and it's stumped us more than others. For any other CSS we could counter it, but this one fits like puzzle pieces with the Sal leak. It lines up with direct. And the leaker seems to have a weird way of explaining things, that is weird enough to be legit if that makes any sense.
What Else do I need to add?

I realize this is my first post but I had to make an account to say this since I didn't see it anywhere. Maybe these screenshots are from the gamepad screen. That would explain the smudges (touchscreen), the jagged edges (resolution isn't that great), and the lack of a glove for a supposedly unselected Marth (drag the coin with your finger, tap again to select). Just a few thoughts that I had that I didn't see mentioned anywhere.

Why the heck is Ridley above and left of Sonic? WTF? Am I reading this right. Either this is disproven, or somethings up in the demo, or im reading this wrong, or this isnt from the original leaker and is a fake.

Again. Are we sure this is from the same guy?

The camera seems different.

I won't say the same about the other pics, but this one right here is fake. The top left slot says "Ridley". However, if you look at where the Metroid slots are in the previous pictures, Ridley couldn't be in this spot. This pic specifically is fake, but I'm inclined to believe the ones that came before it.

EDIT: Ninja'd

And Fake. Ridley suddenly moved 5 spaces over to be around Sonic? There can't be any good explanation for this.
well pointed out. Sonic was 2 spaces under fox, samus was one space under yoshi, making ridley be under donkey kong, suddenly all kirby, dk, ki and ac reps dissapeared

Sadly, I have to agree. Someone wouldn't make a mistake to move Ridley's spot like 6 spaces over.
I want to see the 4chan post. We can check ID #s. I don't think this is the same guy. Seems like someone photoshopped the 3rd pic and rotated it. Also, this isn't how the leaker has shown newcomers

Which image could someone edit to create this new one though?
The 4th pic? The one that everyone thought was the random icon or pac-man? The copy-cat faker could have turned it and put ridley and pac-man there.

Also, this feels like a damn Ace Attorney game now.

Good thing I'm in the middle of playing Dual Destinies this week! :V

I swear, these leaks will be the death of me. It's 3:35AM and I should go to bed but now I feel awake. :I

I told myself I'd go early tonight.

Can we just leave this at that we just don't know? This leak has tons more credibility than most considering it's the first CSS that has stumped us + other things. And now we've gotten to the point where others are making fakes of the original pics like we just saw.

I think this is what the leaked Pacman looked like:

I think the displacement of Ridley's name on the roster means that this one is just some crap made up by someone who doesn't believe the leak.
That's what I think. Someone butthurt that a leak they don't like it getting some merit.

I beg to differ. Just because the style matches the Online Menu to a degree, and the roster hints at a favourable roster (favourable =/= real), it does not give it any more credibility. The second reason is also why I don't buy the Sal Romano leak as willingly as others.

Personally, I got this song goin:
But still, this most recent pic is certainly fake. The placement of Ridley changing spontaneously proves it.

Just assume the leak is real and...

Think it through! Ask WHY the leak is real!

That can't be from the same guy. If it were, s/he would be debunking his/her own leak in mere seconds.

I find it more plausible to believe the previous pictures, but not that one.

I really have a feeling this is real. Not the Pac-Man Ridley pic, that obviously was photoshopped by someone else after the original pics had been posted.

If it's real, then there are a couple of interesting things to note:

-There appears to be a third Metroid rep.
-There appears to be a third DK rep.
-There appears to be one more third-party character.
-Only one Kid Icarus newcomer.
-Two more pokemon characters.
-Only 1 more Zelda character (maybe Ganondorf?)
-Sal Ramano leak is neither proven nor disproven.
-Roster size is 50.

It could just be blamed on the extreme lack of focus this picture presents, but the lock icons above Sonic and Mega Man are an extremely different color than the one next to Sonic.

The 3rd Metroid Rep is Ridley and the 2nd is ZSS. Remember, Sakurai seperated ZSS and Samus. Along with Zelda and Sheik.

Yeah. However the screen is way to big to be the 3DS version. It looks like a best buy booth, which is what the guy stated it to be.
3DS version isn't going to be used at the tourney, yet one of these leaked screens is claimed to be the tourney build.
You're right, but I stiil stand by my other points.

That isn't Ridley's name. There is no "L" or "E", so unless it was leaked by a person who can't spell...

I tried looking through /v/ for the first time to find it.

Never again. 4Chan is a scary place.
