So I looked into these pictures for a while, and there are a few small discrepancies that I noticed that may contribute to the pictures being fake.

In the two areas I circled in red: the bush/tree looks like it was cut out from a different picture at a different angle. There seems to be a darker shade of blue immediately surrounding the bush/tree which makes me think that it was cut out from something else. Why else would this different shade be there?

Regarding the circle near Palutena's head: the floating thing behind her, at least in my opinion, should show up, even the slightest bit, to the left of her head. The right of the floating thing (from our POV; our right) stretches far enough for the left side to show up past her head in the picture. It isn't there, however. These two discrepancies might just point to the thought that these leaks are indeed fakes.


Wow. That one area near the bottom of the staff does look pretty messed up...

Nice find. I'm back to thinking this leak is more likely a fake, though still a really good one.

WILL YOU PEOPLE QUIET DOWN FOR ONE SECOND?

NOW LOOK....



He's got a good point here.

What do you folks think about it?
Hmm...

Contact splat and ask him to do an analysis.

Not only is he a graphic artist, but he also was the one to debunk the Jigglypuff and Ness picture some time ago. According to him, it "looked legit" at first glance, so if it should be easy to spot, it should start a debate. Regardless, we have an authority on my side.

And, as I haven't commented on this before...

Holy sweet mother of eggplant-throwing Reapers! Please, please, please be true! I'm gonna donate so many hearts if she's in! I can't contain myself! Arg!

Honestly, when we all started this gig with the new games, did we expect it'd be Palutena that would drive us to the chaos of picking over a leak and posting manic Spongebob gifs?

Palutena confirmed alright.

Palutena confirmed for the new Ridley.
Imagine the day when any ridley news is finally confirmed or leaked, no matter what it is the internet will turn to anarchy and smash boards will explode!

We've been at this whole palutena thing for so long that we've collapsed upon ourselves like a black hole. This is the result. :troll:

If the layer thing is true, then that point is moot.


If it was plastered on to the image, then we're up **** creek without a paddle.

We need to debunk this.

With cold hard evidence.




Groose! Surely you can think of something to address that point!

Me? I'm too tired. My entire day has been wasted by reading this thread and shoveling out the freaky foot of snow we got here. I need sleep, Swamp! As of now, this is all I can contribute:


TAKE THAT!

That circle at the bottom of the staff is just a background rock.

False alarm.

The dark blue is a object in the background there is many in other pics. I don't understand what you mean by the 2nd circle though.

Welp, just for the sake to get back on topic; if this leak is real, what would even Palutena do? Granted it been a while since I played Uprising.
She has light bolts, a flash attack that blinds people, homing light balls, summoning centuarions, light columns, a light rush attack and halos that shoot light projectiles on their own

Quoting again to bring attention. The dark spot at her face is her hair on the other side.

Nothing special.

There is still no explanation for the shot of Mario not existing elsewhere, the unique model...that would take a lot of time to produce.

Plus, he has to prove the layering thing before I believe him.
Admittedly, those are valid points...



Regardless, he's speaking through his experience.

Not many ways he can prove that anymore than he already has.

Regardless, we need to somehow prove that it's not layered.


Come on people! Put your thinking caps on!




For example, you see where the cloud is at the bottom of the picture, within the red circle? There's a little pixel of blue on top of it, branching off from the bush/tree, which makes me think that this bush/tree was cut from a different picture and some of the sky was accidentally cut with it.
I think that's just a hole in the tree. Like the ones on the other side of it.

Her having a blinding light move to disorient foes would be really cool.

For the love of Arceus, stop it with the damn SpongeBob gifs!

The darker shade of blue could be excused as one of the mountains.

This. I assume she would be a heavy-zoner character. We don't have any of those yet... well... unless you count Snake. :awesome:

I wonder if Sakurai got really mad about this leak (assuming it really is a leak) and is going to purposely not have Palutena in the roster.

I doubt that'd happen, but then again Sakurai isn't putting cutscenes in SSB4 because everyone uploaded Brawl's SSE cutscenes online...

the outline naturally makes it look like they are on different layers, especially if you can't see the ground shadows

happy swamp?

You could easily take her special moves from her boss fight in that game. She seems very projectile focused, she can do a deflecting shield charge, and the staff could be used as a pole.

Final Smash will be the "Palutena Glam Buster". Calling it!

He'd probably be very irritated but what's done is done, he can't just remove all that work he's put into her just because someone got blabby and it's no fair to the fans of the character who had nothing to do with it.

Other points have already been proved, but I'm here to talk about her halo being her head. I don't think they'd show up past her head. The one on top, if it came up past her head, it'd be faded at that point, and the middle and lower ones wouldn't be visible in the slightest, due to her body covering them.

No, that is just what he said. That isn't the real reason he isn't going to have cutscenes in SSE. In fact, if I recall correctly, we are going to have trailers for every character. Including veterans. So that would obviously perpetuate this alleged "problem," he decided to omit Subspace as it took approximately 3/5 of the development time. He is just trying to justify less content (not that I am complaining, I am glad SSE is gone).
