Read the second post in this thread before posting.
We've been over this kind of crap A MILLION TIMES...
*facepalm* Read the second post. Please.
I feel like I need context for this photo, but it doesn't really add any information, even if it's new.
Now that I have returned, please leave the "2nd post directing" to me. This keeps the page from cluttering up every time someone rehashes old ideas.
If it is, it shows the leak is even more consistent...
Ugh and it is these kind of posts that make me regret coming to this thread.
It was just a comparison someone did on Reddit, here's the link,
Is this for or against?
We've known that this is the general layout for menus since he showed us the menu choosing between "For Fun" and "For Glory," though, so the knowledge of what the menus would look like would already be known to someone attempting to make a fake leak, so it doesn't really prove anything conclusive either way.
fixedI didnt - I just went to the last page to give my two cents and I just read it makes it even more convincing its fake. ejej
Ohh, I thought it was a brand new leak. It's just a picture from E3. I couldn't remember if it was new or not.
I think it helps the leak as the design is so similar
Okay your posts are pissing me off. Stop acting like you have such high authority and that you have any sort of intelligence. You make the most terrible points and none of them mean utter crap.
Joalro
or whatever made. Seriously, what 3 images prove it is fake?!?
I am aware of what you did. And there is no way you read the 2nd post. I wrote it and trust me, you did not read it that quickly.
But as I said, this was already known way beforehand, so... not sure we can really say that adds anything to its veracity.
Please don't engage in debate with him. He knows all this. He has been for a while back, but he is set in his ways. He sees what he wishes to, and that's fine. Don't let him derail the thread.Okay your posts are pissing me off. Stop acting like you have such high authority and that you have any sort of intelligence.

Second of all, you have brought up no proof whatsoever, and proved yourself to be even stupider by deciding not to read the post that @
If you really do think it's fake, answer me this: On the stage select, look at the Paper Mario stage. It is a COMPLETELY different angle from the POTD, the only possible way they could've done that was by recreating the stage just for a different angle. Oh, what's that, not enough? Fair enough. Well then, take a look at this. This shows that the stage select picture for Tomodachi Life stage was taken of a room that didn't even exist until yesterday. Unless you want to go on about "dur hur confirmation bias sur smurt", you have no right even ACT LIKE you have any authority.
I would say it's kind of neutral... It could prove the leak is consistent with the already known stuff, or it could mean the leaker used it to create the fake leak.
I don't know, I'd peg it down as interesting but inconclusive. I've never seen that screen before, personally.
oh sorry if I was not clear on my wording I agree with you this leak is fake and its total photoshop bull **** so ya **** leaks and sorry for making you write all that because of my poor wording
Yeah, this probably would have been one of the easier menus to fake
I skimed through it. But I can't disregard that a finished product would have errors as in stated in the "2nd post of this thread." Fake If that is the real deal. Nintendo should fire the CSS designer. its ugly and unprofessional.
why would ganondorf be a captain falcon clone?
I believe he already admitted to faking the victory screen.Sorry, I was out.
I'm aware that the evidence conflicts with things like what MasterLink said, so my goal when when writing the post was to just have my evidence added to the list of things going against the leak. That would keep my opinion out of it.
However, now I guess for people to take it seriously I need to address how it conflicts with MasterLinkX
![]()
I'm going to go through what MasterLinkX claims, but it is really hard to phrase, so I'm going to call the leak that this thread is made to discuss Leak A and the 'leak' that MasterLinkX has supposedly constructed Leak B. MasterLinkX says he was aware of the leak beforehand and was planning to construct Leak B, a photoshop that makes Leak A look fake, from a mixture of various photos constructed together and then mixed, using photoshop, with the original Leak A. MasterLinkX could then claim that Leak A was fabricated from Leak B, as he planned to post Leak B before anyone else posted Leak A, thus making us think that Leak A is false when it supposedly isn't. However, he says that the real leaker unfortunately posted Leak A before masterlink finished with leak B, foiling his plan.
A detail that some of you may not know of is that MasterLinkX posted in the Shulk support thread that he spent 50 hours constructing Leak B.
What is off about this explanation is MasterLinkX's motive. He is a large supporter of Shulk, so it is strange that he would want to deceive everyone, specifically fellow Shulk supporters, into believing that this leak is fake when it isn't (according to him). His motivation would have to be really strong to place 50 hours of work into this, keeping in mind how long 50 hours of work really is.
A motive that makes more sense is that the motive he described was made up in order to help improve the leak's standing.
Let's look at some facts:
-MasterLinkX is skilled with photoshop
-MasterLinkX is a known Brawl Modder, having made several successful Brawl textures. http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?ByUserID=1499
-MasterLinkX was also the one to bring those three in-game images to our attention and is the only person I have seen to have claimed to have seen the gamefaqs thread and video they came from.
This places MasterLinkX as the most likely person to have done the fabrications I talk about in my analysis.
He has the brawl modding experience to replace Ike's model in-game so that he can take a picture of it, as well as the capability to use Brawl Box to move the bones around and make that superman pose. He has the photoshop experience to then make the described changes such as the Monado on Shulk's back (while in-game), the 'RED TEAM' text, the CSS on the bottom screen, and the red background behind Shulk. Finally, he is the one who linked us to these pics and the thread on gamefaqs, a thread which cannot be viewed.
What do you guys think about this? It doesn't feel right to be accusing another Smashboards user and Shulk supporter, but for the sake of truth I'm willing to look passed that.
That's one man's opinion. Personally, I adore the design. I think having the clones in their own section is a good idea, and the general structure is sound.
What does that have to do with anything?

and I'LL just leave it in the second post.I'll just leave this here.
Woah woah woah, when was this? How'd I miss that?
The design and where characters are don't bother me. What bothers me is Wario, Game and Watch , and Bowser Jr all have a problem. A finished product wouldn't have those errors. Everything else in that CSS seems fine. Personally I don't mind Bower Jr and Peppers.
Wasn't those 3 "gameplay" and victory screens meant for throwing us off the leak or admitting they were fake?
Can you give us a link to the post? I've been following this link almost every second since it started a couple days ago and I never saw that. He confessed to making a fake Shulk off of the leaked one to kill the leak before it spread, but that was all I saw.
Pretty sure all he was going to do was make it look like the Shulk portrait came from Smash
Maybe because he is a clone in every game???
Just about exactly what I was thinking....
Are we sure this isn't some elaborate weaving of a detective plot for future publication? The evidence is layed out, multiple parties involved with this leak, a suspect, a possible motive, everything. You can't make this **** up even if you tried.
Seriously, this just keeps getting better and better.
Yeah, honestly, I don't care if this turns out to be real or not. We'll find out in 3 weeks anyway....

What problem does Bowser Jr. have? Also, the name you are thinking of is "Mr. Peepers," but it is not official in any way, nor has it ever been; it is merely a fan name.
There is no link because, like you said, all he faked was a version of Shulk's character portrait. His comment on the Shulk battle screenshots was that he did not know if they were real or not.
It really is hilarious isn't it? It's also a blast to participate in. Plus, if you choose the right side, you have bragging rights!
