Pichu: Real or Hoax?

[Deleted member]

Ok, so I found this image while searching some SSB4 stuff, and I was honestly surprised to see Pichu. However, is this a hoax or a real image? Im going to theorize this peculiar image.

Theory 1

Ok, so right off the bat, you and I notice the quality of these screens. They're not so good. My theory is that these screens were taken quite early in development of the game and were put on the site to test some stuff out. Apparently, they forgot to take them down. Also, the 3DS screens do not have outlines, also concerning the early development part.

Theory 2

The stages Pichu are shown on all appear to be stages from past games. What I think is that they just ported those stages and then used them for prototype testing. Because I don't think they will have Melee stages in Smash 4, similar to Brawl not having N64 stages. But take a look at the stage on the 2nd screen. I don't think we've seen that place before. But what place is it? Again, testing purposes I'm assuming.

So, that is what I could dig up on this. Whether it's a hoax or real image, is beyond me. Tell me what you guys think.

It's 100% accurate. There's no chance that Pichu is not in this game. A more appropriate title would be "Pichu: Truth or Real?"

Umm... is this a serious thread?
Those photos are OBVIOUS Brawl hacks and/or Melee screenshots.

Alright, you got me. I made this hoax. I was assuming it would take a little longer to figure it out.

The Model is pretty good, but the backround and stage isn't.

SSBB modeling sure has gone places since the last I saw...

Either way, thanks for using my texture pic at the bottom-left!

It's real, and science has gone too far!

...Can we stop making threads like these? It isn't even a joke, it was a prank. A prank you gave up on after two replies (5 MINUTES.)

EDIT: In the future, please avoid replying to these fake news threads, folks. This was this guy's first post.

This is obviously fake...

Makes Hoax, admits it's fake because 1 person didn't believe it.

Yeah, it didn't take too long for the OP to break.

I'm picturing the OP posting this picture and anxiously giggling/snorting himself while hopping up and down on his chair. He could have played it longer....

Alright, you got me. I made this hoax.

can you not?

It's beyond annoying.

The Model is pretty good, but the backround and stage isn't.

cuz the background is from Brawl's Pokemon Stadium 2. lulz

Despite all the evidence posted, there might be a chance that it is real. You guys are just too militant about your close-mindedness !
