Maybe this place needs a bit more funk

What are the bottom three? Also, where did you get this?

 

[ZcK]

Well Anna would have a decent chance, of course if more relevant characters did not exist and didn t deserve the chance more than her. She is a character that fares better within the canon she is in since she is quite iconic there and mostly there.
Also more than being Impa or Cid she is more like a Waluigi in that she is in a lot of games and thats it, difference is that she would not be as recognized as him.

And sometimes I think having a product accompanied by some other form of advertisement works... when you are funding it. He is not only shoving it on the troaths of people the, he is asking them to pay for it. Maybe thats an exaggeration of my part but seriously seeing how there is not a warranty yet of the quality of his products, it looks more like a scam.

But anyway it is already failing and I don t see the tables turning in a week so he is up for a rude awakening.

That's Saffron City, Mute City and Brinstar Depths. (I'm gonna guess its from GFaqs)

"This was posted by the same 4chan leaker to "leaked" K. Rool."

I'm not sure what leak they're referring too. Highly skeptical. YL's stock icon may have been lifted and no new stages is extremely bizarre with a newcomer. Not putting much salt into this, but a leak is a leak.

 

[ZcK]

The what it seems to be a K. Rool icon at the upper-left looks suspiciously similar to the Smashified one but tiny.
Also what is the first icon supposed to be?

 

[Das Koopa]

More things leak-related. Claims that there'll be a direct on the 3rd. (This is with the above.)

Send the K Rool image to the K Rool thread. See if they can place it.

Isn't it just his trophy?

 

[Naoshi]

If any of the Melee/Brawl (minus Mushroomy Kingdom 1-2 and Fourside) stages become DLC, then it'll shatter the disconfirmation theory.

But I really doubt this leak is real.

 

[PushDustIn]

Isn't it just his trophy?

Not near my game but I think the head has a different angle.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Isn't it just his trophy?

Pose looks similar, the only noticeable difference is that his head seems to be at a different angle and that he is looking down towards us the viewer, rather than straight on.

...Then again I could be wrong for all I know lol

 

[Naoshi]

Why is there a white outline on his arm? :S

EDIT: The cape (on the shoulder area) has some faint remains of the white BG. Looks poorly photoshopped in.

It really looks like the trophy but viewed at a much different angle. The model itself looks too low quality to be a playable model for the Wii U version. (Assuming that is suppose to represent the player model, considering it's obviously not CG)

There is more that looks really fake about this honestly lol


EDIT: I do admit, it seems the reptile skin texture around his body has some differences compared to the trophy itself. It seems to have a lot more scales. The sides of the stomach is more noticeably different in that regard.

So it looks like a slightly modified trophy model?

 

[Das Koopa]

Issues with the leak;

-Hyrule Warrior YL's icon looks similar to official artwork. It's very possible this could be the case from a dev perspective, but I still think it's a big red flag.
-Mute City returning doesn't make much sense. Big Blue is probably more loved and easier to port, and we've had nothing but ported returning stages so far sans the 64 ones.
-No stage for K. Rool. Not even a returning stage: No Japes, no Jungle, no Falls. Seems highly unusual when nearly every newcomer has received their own stage.

Also, that Wolf stock icon gives me Smash 3 vibes lol

To be fair, Ryu had a new stage to go along with his DLC because there is no Street Fighter stage prior to his inclusion. Meanwhile, K Rool can already be associated with the current DK stages.

 

[StormC]

Yeah, I wouldn't expect newcomers from established franchises to get stages.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I manipulated the trophy in game. I could get the trophy really close to the pose in the picture but the trophy has more teeth and the cape is visible underneath his arm.

 

[Das Koopa]

Actually, every new character from an existing franchise has some sort of stage that accompanies them when you count both versions. Bowser Jr. may technically be an exception if we're talking really specific stage-rep, but we got several new Mario stages. Galaxy is clearly Rosalina's, we got Kalos, we got 2new FE and KI stages across both versions, we even got 2 animal crossing stages.

The Fire Emblem stages don't really count as they're generic and new FE stages were a given in the base game anyway - not as DLC. Characters being correlated with stages has never been a thing; if it was, we'd have had Bowser's Castle since Melee.

Mushroomy Kingdom U fits .

Regardless, I don't think this is real, but it's fun to talk about.

I'm saying that the vast majority of newcomers (at least since Brawl) have gotten accompanying stages in some capacity even if they're from existing series. FE has stuck with generic stages outside of Ferox, but it's still representation nonetheless.

So I find it odd that Rool doesn't even get a returning stage, when three exist and two of which would be easy to port. That, to me, is a logical strike against it. The biggest strike so far is the bad quality of Rool's render, even though it appears to be unique.

 

[Chrono.]

Yeah the render looks really bad.

Makes me think back to the leaks where everyone used the 50-facts Mewtwo in-game model trying to pass it off as artwork.

 

[Das Koopa]

OOOOH HEY

I may be jumping the gun, but Wolf's stock icon looks re-used. As far as I can tell, every Brawl-Smash4 stock Icon is different. This includes Lucas'.

 

[Deleted member]

I think any leak that has a slanted image is not real and trying to use camera tricks to fool people.

 

[DaybreakHorizon]

So a shoddy K.Rool leak we can't disprove.

ESRB anyone?

It's probably fake. ESRB had some quality to it, the same Smash quality we all know. I knew it was legit from the music in the, and the models were too good to be fake.

This on the other hand...is questionable. Omni proved leaks can be made with effort, so all we can do is wait for August 3rd to come and pass.

Unless there are subtle differences hidden in the terrible quality, Wolf's icon looks the same as Brawl's. As you can see above, nearly every stock icon is different.

EDIT

Plot thickens; Pic with young Link icon is, in fact, fake. But it's also apparently unrelated to the 4chan leak that gave us this imgur album and instead was a GameFAQs ruse. Meaning THESE are the only pertinent images:

http://imgur.com/a/ibsmG

 

[Chrono.]

What's the first pic supposed to be anyway?

My stance on the leak remains the same, I'm pretty sure someone took the trophy model and touched it up on PS. I mean for cripes sake you can see the corners.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

What has the K. Rool fanbase said of the K.Rool images yet?

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

A bunch of people on the K Rool thread call fake.

Not the fanbase, but its the closest we have to that

 

[Das Koopa]

What has the K. Rool fanbase said of the K.Rool images yet?

Everybody everywhere agrees it doesn't look good at all.

I don't know if part of it has to do with image quality or if it's just a straight-up garbage render. Somebody on gameFAQs says it looks similar to a photoshop stained glass texture (Rool's scales)

 

[ThePenguinGamer0]

It looks like someone got a bit too messy with Microsoft Paint near King K. Rool's outer belly, as you could see some green from the background seep into the model.

It's fake.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I saw Anna talk. We will never have enough FE representation until based RNG Goddess becomes playable. She's been playable in 2 games in a row so far too, being able to wield everything but tanks and axes

 

[Das Koopa]

That's a combination of his chest and his left arm mixing with the angle.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

If anyone believes that I will gladly mock them

 

[Radical Bones]

That's a combination of his chest and his left arm mixing with the angle.

It literally couldn't look more like the eraser tool in Photoshop.

I guess it could be coincidence but I think it's a good fake. I think there's too many stages at once and YLs icon is off.

It's nice to have a decent leak though.

 

[Kenith]

Saffron City, Mute City, Brinstar Depths.
Lame stage selection, but worth it for Brinstar Depths.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Fixed.

Does anyone know what that blue and red thing is meant to be?
