What evidence is there exactly that suggests this is not just another fake among the sea of fakes?

4Chan images only stay up as long as the thread is still there. Once the thread is gone so are the images. Also, there can only be so many threads on a 4Chan board so they will simply be gone over time.


This is fake.
1)Marth is transparent
2)He is in the 2nd player slot but he has the 1P icon on him.

I swear, you all will believe anything.
he's the first one look again (but I admit it't weird being transparent but do we know if the hand are supposed to be there?)

1. He might not actually be selected.
2. He's not actually. Look again. Compare the two pictures.

Well your first point is invalid. Whenever you hold your player coin thing over someone they turn transperant. This happened in Melee and Brawl.

Buddy. You should really read our discussions before posting. We've already counter argumented both of your points. Marth is transparent because he's not selected yet, as seen by the "ball" thing being transparent over Marth. Numbers could be stocks or other things as previously discussed

Lying about my country.
So after my pixel-counting adventure, I'm estimating that this is the space the selection screen would use assuming that's a 720p TV.



Usually, this thing take like half the screen, if not more, why would that change now?

Could someone just give me a quick pros and cons list.
Pro:

  • The UI looks like it was when Sakurai was showing For Fun/For Glory
  • Nothing seems out of place.
Cons:

  • Bowser is missing strangely.
  • That the reason why characters are appearing in the third picture is that you can unlock them in the demo.
  • Ridley is hinted at, but not completely shown.

THE CPU LEVELS!
Sorry, just tired of repeating it.
I guess that would make sense, although they seem really prominent for that.

I've forgotten- do we usually see the CPU level on unassigned slots?
  • Ridley is hinted at, but not completely shown.
Also, it feels like the entire character select thing was a roundabout way of just doing this.

Really hoping this to be real. Having a real number on the roster just makes all the character discussion more interesting. It also makes me more confident that most of the characters in my sig are making it in, with still more to come. Kinda shocked that they would give away the character placement like that

Of course we are bound to see the real roster anyway with that tourny coming soon so let's hope we'll get some verification soon.

Things that stand out to me.
- Only 5 Zelda character (was kinda expecting a new one, oh well...)
- 6 pkmn (I need mewtwo in my veins now)
- 3 third party characters (could still be 4, but seeing the layout I doubt that)
- possibly 4 star fox slots (wanted to throw that out there for all the krystal haters :p )
- semi-confirm on third Metroid rep, third DK rep and second KI rep (no surprises really)

Final note, this leak better be real, because the roster would be amazing imo without even seeing who's behind the locks.

That's an R on the right with something that looks like red hair. Is that supposed to be Roy? What the hell?
I see a P, Roy would be nearly to Marth.

Also it's a long name, it covers almost all the space for the name.

Megaman does too... so Pac Man?

Edit: Yeah, probably it's just Random.

Seriously, I think it becomes more and more dubious. Either the leaker carefully prepared his shot or he's taking them now.
He is now hinting at both Ridley and Pac-Man and not showing them. This is very strange.

It does fit with the For Fun and For Glory themes, so that's that. But why would all of those characters be locked? For a demo they could easily make it so there aren't the extra character slots. It's fishy.
I'm guessing that's a red question mark or something of that nature
It's the only slot that gives the box a tint so it's special. It's probably a random sign.
Assuming it's true.

So, remind me why everyone is soo gung ho about it being K.Rool or Dixie next to Diddy? Olimar would fit just as well since all those characters are made by Miyamoto, and Olimar is an anagram of Mario with an L added.

I noticed the background is red on that slot. What could this mean?

Edit - Random slot.

1. He might not actually be selected.
2. He's not actually. Look again. Compare the two pictures.
1)There is no hand on the icon and Marth is in the slot meaning he's selected
2)You can see a freaking line though Marth's head.

I'd also like to mention that the guy taking the pictures split it up into three different ones when he could have done the whole thing with one shot. Fakes usually use the tilted shot.
We're here discussing it 'cause it has merit.

Now, if we were still talking and discussing onefinalsmash.com, THEN you could say something like that.
I'd love to know how.

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).

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.
That's all I got for now. Someone help me make this more complete. This should help you out Swampasour
