I'm having trouble understanding what you mean.
Predictions are what Smashboards is all about.

The guy who keeps saying "I 'predict' that this character is an AT. I 'predict that this character is a stage hazard. I 'predict' that......"
It's getting really annoying, and if Shulk isn't confirmed on Thursday, it means he's fake.

Oh, you mean leaks.
Yeah, me too, since when they get a prediction correct everyone believes the leak.
Truthfully it happens to me too.

I see like this:
Before the game releases:
After the game releases:

Yes please! Regular Falco before release, Toon Falco after sounds awesome.

 

[Morbi]

Thank whatever deity applies here that it would never happen.
Only acceptable change to the PT lineup would be to swap Squirtle and Ivysaur for their fully evolved states.

I don't really want it to happen either (not a big fan of Blaziken or Greninja... even though they were my starters). I wouldn't actually mind Venasaur and Blastoise instead of Squirtle and Ivysaur. However, the best decision (in my opinion) is to cut the two that hold Charizard down. Make some room for other newcomers.

I'm talking about the specific leak, Mr. Prediction, or whatever people are calling him.

 

[CrimsonVallier]

I want Shulk in the game; I'm just getting annoyed at all the "predictions".

Yeah they are almost always the same to me in some way.

Read my above post.

Here's the thing though. I do like the idea of Pokemon Trainer. Heck if anything, the best decision would be to cut the "gimmicks" (stamina and type effectiveness) that held all three of them down. Then, they could end up being a decent mix-up character like Zelda/Shiek.

And forced Switching.

Also allow the option to chose which Pokemon you want to bring out next rather then being forced to go to the next one in the rotation.

?
There isn't a release date yet...

Nothing happens on Mondays.

So many rumors point to something happening on the 30th.

 

[Snagrio]

I knew that after the Palutena leak this place would become flooded with leaker wannabes. Sigh, guess it was inevitable.

Oh, right.
Bleh, I'm so caught up in the Palutena leak that I miss all the others.

We're going to see Rosalina's dash attack, but in a different angle is what I'm guessing.

Is it weird that this would interest me?

Nah...

 

[Snagrio]

At any rate I think the chances of a Direct this week are pretty high, if not then certainly the following week.

Maybe the daily picture reveals C. Falcon tomorrow (insert awesome face)

It already was well before the Palutena leak.

 

[The Light Music Club]

Sakurai should have done a reference like this to hint Palutena was coming to SSB4:

[Snagrio]

True, but it definitely increased more then usual afterwards.

Hi new person here!
Going back to the Palutena "leak" has anyone considered that the ones who made it, had it ready to go and then decided to photo shop Mario, in that they had the two shots pre-rendered (using a 3D Palutena model that they made from scratch) photo shopping the background and Mario as apposed to modeling them. This would mean that they had all the time in the world to build the Palutena model and back ground, then the 48 hours to make a polished looking Mario shop in order to get people to assume the "leak" would have been difficult to pull off (people are making the assumption that they would have needed to do the Whole thing after the new Mario pic) falsely adding to its credibility.
tldr. the Mario, it means nothing

I dont mind. It passes off the time.

But it begs two questions:

1. If he had the Palutena model and background created, why did he wait until Monday's pic for a Mario to use? Why not make the leak by modifying one of the 3DS pics already released?
2. How would he have known that Mario's model was going to change? No one realized that the Mario model was different until the leak investigation itself, so he put himself at risk for being declared fraud by the model looking different than what we've seen before.

You realize you put falco in both why?

There's no video I don't know what I'm looking at.

Edit.

 

[APC99]

Alright, so from what I've gathered with each leak, in order to make a successful leak, you must:

A. Include at least one newcomer in your leak.
B. Show off something already known.
C. Do something random that people will consider clever.
D. Import some models from the pictures, if you are making a picture.
E. Have one controversial choice in there.

So, here we go!

"Pic of the Day. Introducing, the Box Art Battlefield, a stage on both versions. See how many of your favorite box arts are present, like Wario Land: Shake It!! and Metroid Other M! Also, King K. Rool is a newcomer and Ridley is a stage hazard, blowing up the Game Boy cartridges which hold these cases together."


This picture is legit. ​

Fake. "Other: M" is in the corner. That game doesn't exist...

Sorry, you have to delete the space in between the F and C. It censors it on mine.

Not according to my library, it's right between "Marvel Super Hero Squad: The Infinity Gauntlet" and "MySims Party".

Two games I'm ashamed to own. It must be a pattern or something...

Credibility.
1. In that they saw/waited for an opportunity to bolster their fake leak's credibility.
2. a. See above.
2. b. Because it plays on the notion that we are seeing the 3ds models getting more and more polish. In other words a deliberate ploy.

(also proving my point is how quick people are using a flaw with the image to back it up)

I've had my fair share...

In the link I just posted a few posts above.

Also worth mentioning is that Palutena already has an existing style for smash bros. The "leaker" played on the expectation that a new comer would have a new appearance and while this might be true for some characters it is almost certainly not the case for Palutena. Another point to bring up is that there already exist 3ds models for her and unless a leak's are on par with those their credibility is diminished not bolstered.

....so you're saying it's fake for the exact reason people are saying it's real?

 

[relisthain]

I am saying that a difference in design does NOT add to a leak's credibility (edit) it only means that the "leaker" put effort into it (end edit), and that because Palutena has already gotten her smash bros. redesign that the difference detracts from this leaks credibility.
