Mario's face was just swapped and surely all the "distortions" disappear when on a 3DS screen, and I find it hilariously unnecessary to fake a... well, fake.

I still want to know if this came from the original poster. If it did, well, probably finally fake, but its not over until we get the full story, especially since this later pic looks oddly half assed.

Just recall this isn't the first time someone has deliberately tried to rain on the Palutena Parade.

Both the leak and this pic were posted anonymously on 4chan. The guy who posted this says he knows the guy who faked them, not that he faked them himself.

I still think that the leak is alive and that this was a horrible attempt to fake it (Mario just looks awful in that pic and his head is tilted in a different angle).
It doesn't matter anyway since the Goddess of Light has many things going for her anyway, possibly even more so than Little Mac before.
But I prefer the Lord of the Underworld, Hades. I am one of his disciples!

Now we need to change the title back.

Looks like you can't kill a Goddess.

Just like ErenJager knew a guy who saw Palutena as an AT at the same "demo" he "confirmed" that MegaMan and Villager had Rush Armor and Bees as FSs.

My uncle works at Nintendo, too.

I can officially confirm that this attempt at exposing the leak is fake. My evidence? I made the real leak myself, and that's not how I went about making it.

You boys carry on with your support for Pretty Palutena. It'll make your tears all the more delicious when my newcomer trailer rolls at E3.

That avatar is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life. Hats off to you.

Also, I can't help but notice the staff in the "debunk" is longer and thinner.

Could that be on account of obvious image manipulation? Weird.

That leak never really mattered, Palutena has so much going for her and the Pseudo fake out in the direct clinched it for me.

(Besides, she's still in the last leak standing.)

Obvious fake. Plus, if he wanted to debunk the leak, he'd post evidence of BOTH screenshots being fake, not just one.

I'm still on Team Real (for the original leaked screenshots). And I feel she is the only shoo-in character.

And just like the original "leaker" who posted pics that "confirmed" Palutena as playable while acting like they'd already been posted!
I'll be honest, I got bit scared there.

Once again, I don't see why you feel the need to cling onto this fake leak for comfort when Palutena is practically confirmed anyway.

I more or less stopped caring whether that leak is real or not a long time ago. At this point it's just waiting for things to play out whether it actually happens or not.

It's nice to have even a semblance of confirmation before the official thing. There are plenty of other things that practically confirm Palutena, but this was the original thing, so it hold a special place in our hearts.

The Palutena leak was awesome at the time, partly because it really rejuvenated this thread and made her the conversation of the Boards for a week, but we have gotten so much evidence in favor for her since then that it's really just supplementary at this point.
I'm somewhat indifferent towards the leak. She's not particularly expressive in that shot, but I think the other one is a little bit better. Besides, most of the good expressions have been on the Wii U version, so we will have to wait and see if they do her right (and this is Sakurai himself we are talking about, so I have faith). I guess I'd say I hope the leak is real since there is always a possibility that Palutena isn't in.

"Grasping for straws" you all told me. "Just give up MVG! You can't win!" you all told me.
And look where we are now.
All I can say is "I told you so."

All this time you all pushed me off as some loon trying to break a "legit leak".
And now look where we are.
I still don't get it. The image that "debunked" the Palutena leak is fake. We're in pretty much the exact same spot we were 4 months ago.

I missed the fun, personally I don't hold the original leak as bullet proof evidence that Palutena is in the game there are so many factors and real hints right now going for her, yet I am happy that this don't disprove the original leak, unless Palutena's staff now works like Christmass lights and Mario now look awful, I would give the leaker more credit if showed a different pose for Palutena

Unbelievable, the leak survived what possibly could of damaged it the most. This leak is not from this world, people.

I didn't really get how the picture BluePikmin posted on the previous page disproved it.

I may have already stated this, but even if the Palutena leak is debunked, I still believe that her chances of being as a playable character is still looking good. After all we've already had a Pseudo-Palutena tease plus Pit's new Final Smash which sorts of hint something.

And of course there's the potential truth of the Sal leak if you need it. We don't even need the December leak, but frankly it's just not dead yet.

It doesn't really matter if the leak is fake or not, Palutena is basically a lock. I think the fascination with the leak stems from:

1. It marked the beginning of almost everyone considering her likely (this I'm not entirely sure of, I haven't been in the speculation scene for that long).
2. It has gone a surprisingly long amount of time without being debunked.

Yes.

It's an obvious photoshop

(check the thread in the General Wii U Discussion forum).

As with a few other people here I don't see why it matters if the leak is fake or not.
Palutena has tons of things going for her at this point, so even if the leak is fake, she still has high chances regardless.
