First off, can someone tell me if there actually is a Nintendo Direct or something tomorrow. I can't really tell if people are being serious or just thinking about hypothetical.

Anyways, I think that this improves Palutena's chances and for that I'm feeling hyped. I'm hoping we can get a confirmation or rejection sometime soon.

Also as a side note, the Alfonzo meme is pretty funny. On another side note, there are too many people here.

Taking a close look at it, I've found that the statue appears to be lacking several pieces of jewelry hanging from Palutena's belts, among other things. It's not a perfect match.
They were talking about this in the rumor/leak thread saying even Uprising stuff didnt match official art, and other such inconsistencies yadda yadda, nothing proven or disproven.

There's no Direct tomorrow. Although we'll probably get one soon Nintendo gives more than a few hours notice.

Statue confirmed for fake. :troll:

I had doubt's previously, but now I'm certain.










Alfonzo is the biggest smash meme of this month. Year, even.

An appearance as a statue is very different from "an enemy that caused Samus trauma appearing at any moment" is. The statement is more ambiguous and open to people's worst fears and expectations, so people reacted according to those expectations.

Also, Ridley wasn't "leaked" before the pyrosphere stage.
Yeah, the 'leak' easily does help the situation so that would explain some of the discrepancy. Rosalina does throw a bit of a wretch in that as she didn't have a leak, but either way this isn't the time for Ridley.

As for what this means for Palutena's chances, not much on its own. Palutena is supposed to be a god-like figure as well as an important character in Pit's life, her getting a statue isn't surprising in that regard, particularly considering the area this takes place in during KI:U.

Unless statues magically have genders, the quote is implying Palutena watches over the stage, and the statue is of her.

So no, Palutena is just as vague as Ridley is.
Which actually renews my faith in Ridley, considering the potential leak for Palutena....

Statues being assigned genders isn't that farfetched, considering other languages give just about any noun a gender, and the statue of liberty is known as "lady liberty" and referred to as a she.

I think the only reason people think this increases (decreases?) her chances is because of the hype from that leak.

Brawl's Skyworld stage also had a statue of her. Not a big deal, really.

People fail to realize, Brawl's Skyworld also had a statue of Palutena in the background.

This update doesn't confirm, nor deconfirm her inclusion into the roster. What it does confirm, however, is a new Kid Icarus stage for the Wii U version.

We'll just have to wait and see.

I think it's funny that 80% of the daily pics lately have had people saying "Ridley deconfirmed" not that I'm opinionated either way. It's just funny how things work out.

Regardless of how people refer to the Statue of Liberty, proper context of the quote gives the notion that Palutena is watching over the arena that the statue of hers appears in.

When Palutena joins the battle, Medusa watches over the arena. Medusa: Leave it to me!

Sorry, I couldn't resist. :troll:

Well to be in a fight you technically have to be aware of your surroundings, therefore 'watching' it.

No it doesn't. The previous sentence is pertaining to the statue of the goddess of light, and the next says that she's watching over the arena. We can obviously see the statue is watching over the fighting arena, so why is the notion given that Palutena is watching over the arena?

Technically, all-seeing deities such as Palutena don't adhere to that sort of limitation. :troll:


@ Muster Muster : Let's just agree that our grasps of the English language are clearly different and leave it at that.

This Alfonzo/"Leave it to me!" gag has been my favorite since the murderous villager. :]

Now I want to see Brinstar Depths return, and a playable Kraid... you know why!

I would take Medusa light years before Palutena and I think this is kind of silly. It's a statue. Of Palutena. In a Skyworld-y stage. That doesn't mean anything. :p It means in Skyworld there is a statue of Palutena. Palutena and the statue can coexist.
Impossible. If I knew what you looked like, I could carve a statue of you right now and you would cease to exist. That's just how things work.

Yeah I don't think she's a playable character. Sakurai so far hasn't shown any form of a character until they are revealed.

So that means...my girlfriend hasn't disappeared because of kidnapping but because I made her a statue of herself.



Just kidding....I don't have a girlfriend.

You know, those wings clearly aren't attached to Palutena.

What the hell are they coming from? Are they just floating in the distance or did Pit get a useless cosmetic wing upgrade to over-compensate for the fact that he still can't fly on his own?

Yes but on the same note no other character has been leaked(?) as of yet. Plus I don't believe Sakurai has a hard set agendas on how he reveals characters. The R.O.B. subspace enemies immediately come into mind……

and N3ON beats me to it. I guess I'm getting old.

They aren't "attached" to the statue per se but they belong to the statue. The statue has the same sort of ethereal looking wings in Uprising except they're WAY bigger. I guess it's supposed to show the statue is blessed or something.
