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...
Nah. If Palutena is indeed playable, she would more than likely have so much work put into her that there is no way in all of hell she would be scrapped at this point. A single random guy putting two pics of her online would not affect her inclusion, though I'd assume Sakurai wouldn't be happy about 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.
Yeah, I agree about the fading and all that. The top one definitely wouldn't show. But I definitely think that the middle or bottom one would sneak past, albeit very very minimally, to that area under her chin, even though it would most likely be very faded.

How do we know that Sakurai wasn't the leaker? Ever think of that? :smirk:

I don't see it.

If it's the yellow dot, that's just a part of her dress.
Like I said, it's very small and hard to notice, but there should NOT be blue there. Blue doesn't just randomly appear at the edge of a bush/tree, or randomly on a cloud (it could if it's just a hole in the cloud, but this speck of blue is attached to the shrubbery).

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.
In regards to the darker blue: couldn't it just be part of the rock formation in the background?

In regards to the halo not appearing on the other side of her head: pretty sure that's just a matter of perspective. With the way it's tilted, the wings on the left side of the halo aren't going to appear as long as the wings on the right side.

I'd imagine suddenly cutting a character who is assumed to be worked on for some time would drastically bug out the game and the statistical data for other characters would have to be retweaked. Do you really think Sakurai wants to increase development time?

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).
It's actually EXCLUDING veterans.

Well, I disagree. Due to the angle that the halo extensions are at (which I'm fairly certain in my knowledge of, considering I've seen them on Lady Palutena in KI:U), I find it hard to believe any of them would show. If they did, in fact, show up, they'd be so faded they'd be irrelevant at that point.

No, not with the cloud there. The cloud would be covering the rock.

I considered that, and I could be wrong about it, but in my opinion, I think it would just barely reach. It very well may not, logically, however.

Geez, I must be used to the slow pace of Nintendolife because the post rate here is astronomical! Oh well, I can adapt.

So before this leak I kept thinking that the potential Direct would be the end of the month, but now I'm thinking (or rather hoping) that it'll be this weekend. :p

I'll be damned if this turn out to be fake like what is the point of going through all this effort just to make this? It just a total waste of time.

Because its Sakurai
Hey, this guy is the guy that is unpredictable for the sake of being unpredictable. I mean, did we get ANYTHING for the 15th anniversary? Dated information about a character not present in any Smash game to date?

I am sure he is the only one that would leak this image. Positive. :awesome:

Feel free to. I'm just speculating here. The bottom part seems much more believable to me.

Hm. It may look like it's attached to the shrubbery, but that's pretty clearly a cloud, and I feel the cloud just looks like it's connected to the shrubbery. Also, let's say this background of Battlefield is completely, undeniably real. That would mean that what you see there is just a part of the background not addressed yet.

EDIT: Or it's a mountain like people say. Either way, my point stands.

That?

That just looks like the sky next to or behind it. There are other specks in between the leaves as well. I don't think it's anything.
