I was surprised to see people discuss this old tssznews story in here. People can believe if they want, but if you're not aware...TSSZ News is a joke inside the Sonic fan community. They have repeatedly "reported" rumors that were infamously bad. I mean, that's fine if you're just writing something people are saying. But they claimed that these reports came from leakers TO them, which damages their credibility.

They created the Sonic DImensions rumor, where you played as a bunch of re-colored sonics. They said Sonic Generations was getting DLC(even confirming the stages...never happened). They had a rumor of characters making the roster for Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed that was infamously wrong(characters like Vectorman were mentioned).

Other bad rumors are around too, but I can't remember them off the top of my head.

They're okay as a news collection site for Sonic fans, but their original reporting and rumors are not trustworthy.

How to make a 101% accuratez rumor (pre-Lucario reveal):

-Cut characters because Sakurai totally said Brawl characters would be cut and totally didn't mean Smash Bros a whole
-Include no AT or Pokeballs
-Pretend you know a guy even though we know its you
-Add characters everyone and their mother wants like Ridley, Chrom, K.Rool, Mewtwo, Takamaru, ect
-Add Ridley
-Add Ridley
-Add Ridley


How to make a 101% accuratez rumor (post-Lucario reveal):

-Include more veterans or say they all come back
-Keep pretending you know a guy mentioning how you got this from an inside source
-Include other information about the game besides it's characters
-Talk about cut material
-Add Ike
-Dont forget to add Ike
-Crud, Lucario came back, so that means Ike actually might come back. Let's include him on our leak.

Lucario's reveal seems to have killed quite a few of the live leaks.
I think most importantly, the Translator Leak, which claimed Diddy would be the next veteran reveal after Dedede.

Would really love some real-looking Picture leaks right now. The Days without Pics of The Day are so slow somehow~

There really needs to be a Nintendo Direct soon.

Guys, someone posted this.
Hi,
I'm Japanese so please forgive me if I make mistakes.

I managed to get opportunity to play Smash Bros. for 3DS thanks to a cousin working as a developer at Namco.

Photos are forbiden but I managed to take photo from my own 3DS.

I'm not allowed to show this image so please delete my account in days coming. I don't want to get my IP adress tracked down

This is Magna from Palutena no kagami (Kid Icarus) VS Bowser,

I also checked his IP address, just to be sure, and it is apparently from Yokohama, Japan. That said, IP addresses can be manipulated using specialized software, so take it with a grain of salt.

Well here's a comparison picture of the three for Magnus in terms of overall design.


I recall Bowser making a similar movement to that in a similar general area of the Battlefield stage from the developer direct so I guess we can check that. Does Magnus make a similar pose to that in Uprising though? Perhaps the AR card? The colours also look a little iffy but that might just be the screens lightning perhaps? :/

That looks exactly like when we see Bowser do that exact move on that exact Place, but with Magnus pasted in. :/ May be coincidence, but I don't Believe it.

And that looks like Magnus' kick attack from Uprising.

Something tells me it's fake. Magnus's model looks identical to the Uprising model. I also notice something wrong with the pixels around Magnus.

The IP address could either because the account was logged on a Japanese computer or someone outside of Japan used a proxy to change the IP address.

Well here's a comparison pic with 3DS Bowser if anyone wants to see.

I tried to get it as accurately to the image as I could so there.

I'm leaning to this being fake as I see a bit too many similarities between the two. Not to mention that the Magnus one has Bowser lacking his shadow under him and there are a few cut bits in the exact same places but ah well, I'll let the leak busters handle this. :p

Was going to say it looks to be at a different angle... but actually it seems the top platform was edited to stretch out longer to near the edge? I doubt the platforms in Battlefield move.

Look at the size and exact same angle of bowser's body in both of those pictures and the remaining distance for the top platform to meet with the end of the stage.

Hmm. I'm trying to find a picture of Magnus in a pose like that.

How is he doing a forward smash and taking a picture at the same time? Or if he's Magnus then how is he recovering and taking a picture? And why can't we see Magnus' face if that's who he's trying to show? But maybe he isn't playing as Magnus. But that just brings it back to the first question.

I think it's actually kinda funny/convenient. We get that Palutena leak that's been the talk of the town, NOW we get another Kid Icarus leak. For some reason, I can't shake the fact that this new leak is fake because I think it's just somebody trying to play off the wave of the Palutena leak.

That's waayyy too similar to be legit surely? Bowser's right leg in the direct shot has it dipping into the stage, but towards his foot it doesn't because there's nothing there. The leg is exactly the same in the other version despite the fact that surely the whole bottom portion of his leg would sink into the platform......right?

Not to defend this rumor, but most of this post is hyperbole. Your last paragraph is the most accurate view of the Sonic fan view of the site. Its an okay site, but to get hits it reports everything, rumors that are accurate and not accurate. Sometimes the site does get inside news. Heck there is a category on the site for rumors only so people aren't dumb enough to take it as full news.

In the "leak", Bowser doesn't have a shadow, whereas in the Direct, he has.

Coincidentally, Bowser's shadow in the Direct happens to be in the exact same place as Magnus's in the "leak"...

Yeah, pretty obvious fake I'd say. Though I wouldn't mind Magnus playable (would prefer Medusa Before him, though).

But it's still fun to see! I like leaks/fakes/etc. Any more new ones?

Surprised with all this Nintendo Direct anticipation that there haven't been any people trying to fake inside knowledge of the next Direct. It's like, those fakers in January were about it.

Speaking of, IF there is a Direct WITH Smash Bros info, what would ya'll expect most?
1. A New Pokemon Character to showcase Mega Evolution/star opposite Lucario (Blaziken, Mewtwo)
2. Info on single player mode
3. Confirmation of the Palutena leak
4. "Release Date Trailer" aka alot of info/characters shown at once leading up to a release date announcement
5. Just to troll us all in true Sakurai fashion, he decides to announce something random like Captain Rainbow or Dillon instead of Diddy or Palutena or anything else we might have expected

Well, I'm sure the next Direct will show a Newcomer (expects Palutena, want Ridley!), but since it's now in the year of it's release, I hope we'll get a whole bunch of info, be that big or minor, like that Developer Direct. And/or maybe a whole battle like with MegaMan vs Mario, only with Rosalina vs Palutena, to show off the new ones.

Or Ridley. Just in case I forgot to mention him.

His face is so blurry.

Well, looks like we cracked the case in no time flat with that one. Magnus could end up as an assist trophy though.

i hope people know that the location of a shadow doesn't matter, it's that we have no picture that has that angle of view in battlefield 3DS (that i've seen). show me a pic with an identical angle and i'll ultimately dismiss this leak. i'm not letting the color affect my judgement since i know how bad of quality pictures of screens can be, based on past phone experience

If it was a difference of angle bowser would also be at a different one, yet he's exactly the same in both the "leak" and the direct screencap.

You don't need a similar picture. There's an entire video that disproves this. (It's a screen cap of the Developer Direct)
