Picture leaks are fine, I think we just need to handle them better.

The Little Mac meme should stop. Yes people were overanalysing the ERSB leak but everytime we get a new "leak" we need to be critical of it and that whole meme in my eyes is encouraging people to just ACCEPT "leaks" as any "mistake" is just Little Mac shopped.

With the Rayman, DR. MARIO and the Shovel Knight stage too many people (myself included for 2/3) simply believed it because it "felt" correct. We gotta stop that. We need to gather the evidence and tear the images apart.

We need to look for slip ups, and remember them. We have the game now, we have a lot more information about how everything works. So do the "leakers" and the trolls, so we need to be vigilant in our judgement.

I wish sites/ vloggers would stop rushing out to cover any "leak" and try to gather the facts first. This is something I practice with Source Gaming. So far we have a perfect track record with the Leaks/ data mining we supported. We aren't perfect, and we are bound to slip up sometime but we try our best to not report on fake leaks as that's just misinformation in the end.

It's a lot better to take a wait and see approach until people who are familiar with graphics, modeling, and design look at the images.

I'm so sick of that meme. I got it when I was telling people the Dr. Mario stage was fake on reddit.

I completely agree. Let's try with this one from the Bandana Waddle Dee thread.


New artwork, lots of detail, even shading with him carrying the spear. There's no shading under him, however it could just be because he isn't selected yet. Make sure to look for inconsistencies though.

Eh, I think we handled Shovel Knight well. No one really jumped to conclusions and we proved it fake reasonably quickly, despite our being pretty well made.

Maybe...

Maybe we're actually learning?

I don't think we could have handled Shovel Knight much better. I mean sure some people very clearly jumped on one way or the other (I personally jumped on fake a little fast admittedly) but for the most part members remained critical and looked for inconsistencies. When they were found people kept digging (heh) just to make sure until t was obviously fake. No one clung to it even though it was fake either.

I just wish every leak went like that.

I wholeheartedly agree on the Mac meme stopping.

It's just shoehorned in every leak these days for some comedic effect.

I do think the Shovel Knight rumor was handled the best of the three...but it also was by far the weakest one too. Rayman and Dr Mario stage only had one major problem each (the background and the stage selection screen) {though other issues like shadowing was also an issue on Dr Mario, they weren't noticed until much later}. Just continue to be as critical as possible.

Looks ugly as ****. XD

But seriously, the name is completely over the place. The letters and black borders are inconsistent compared to Kirby.
Would his name really be Bandana Dee in game? Could be to differentiate him from the other Waddle Dees. And it seems that his name could fit in the box, it's mostly the angle of the picture. Hmm... Curious. Very curious indeed.

I completely bought the Rayman leak, for Dr Mario I was far more skeptical but it was only after @vaanrose pointed the aspect ratio faulty that I was fully convinced it was fake.

Didn't you just call yourself the Phoenix Wright of leaks? I'm sure an ace attorney wouldn't even give this the time of day and he certainly wouldn't call it "curious."

Thing is that that was pre-game, I meant that post-game screenshots should be considered fake due to the fact that we have no evidence that they could have gotten any materials to have gotten the screenshots.
Fake screenshots were every bit as possible before release as they were after; it's just that they were harder to make believable.

The best example would be the Palutena leak.

Seconded, that Bandanna Dee leak is pretty terrible.

Ok, you're right. I was just looking at a side of the arguement, moving on.

The thing is, it was likely shot down so fast that our writers had no chance to get an article draft. :laugh:


I filed a google image search, I found this.


:3
I know BWD wasn't popular around the days of Brawl, but that looks a lot more like that era. In addition, the eyes... have a pretty glaring disparity to the other parts of the model/image.

I've said this many times before, but once again, allow me to say that journalism nowadays is a joke.

Not just gaming journalism, by the way. It's all over the place: the sensationalism and, on the Internet, the click-bait titles. It's no longer about reporting happenings impartially, focusing on the facts: the more drama and the more revenue, the better.

Truly a shame, but sometimes amusing.

SlickWylde SlickWylde I went now to your profile page to see your sig because I remember that you had your Youtube channel linked on it and signatures weren't working on mobile
You little...
Btw, could you link it to me anyways?

------------joke----------->

_______you__________
Of course! Did you send me a stage, btw? I think ZoroarkRules25 did, but I don't think I see one from you haha. Confusing names ;)
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLdOY1bJ8wiVdfm3Y47Cb_Q There you go! :)

I'll tag all the people who's levels I've played so far:
@zoroarkrules25 ThePenguinGamer0 ThePenguinGamer0 @BlueX @KenboCalrissian

On my list:
@MasterofMonster @Jdaster64

If someone gave me a map and you're not on here, please tag me again, because I got a lot of notifications, I might have missed stuff.

I should probably just start a "Give me your stages" thread lol, but I'm too lazy/incompetent.

I think the Shantae IMDb listing was reported here too.

That was bad (along with the Layton thing)

Nothing was worse than the "See you in Smash! ;)" Shantae tweet being front page news here.

So comedy is a bad thing?

This must be you in real life.
You probably don't see every time I go around making bad puns here, and people outside this thread can agree that I'm a funny person. I know several here that frequent other threads I visit that can attest to this.

I just think the Mac meme's hilarity has long since passed. It was funny the first 5 times but it's just a bore now.

I don't think the creator ever came forward.

Like Frostwraith said, though, it was an attempt to disprove the ESRB leak (by making it look like the Duck Hunt Dog render from the leak was taken from an existing source).
