Here are both K. Rool images, in case anyone wants to do a Palutena-esque fake check on them.





Also, I will warn anyone who posts or discusses Tropical Freeze Final Boss in this thread. That's not an SSB4 leak, it's a Tropical Freeze video.

Oh yeah that's a rehash of that fan art. The teeth look the same, the shoulder muscle is the same, the crown is the same, the way the cape lines up is the same. Next.

I doubt "Luma Ball" would be Rosalina's Final Smash when it could be her Comet Observatory from the ending of Galaxy 1. I mean, it's more iconic than Gateway Galaxy, doesn't appear in the background like Starship Mario, and she's freakin' riding it in her reveal trailer! How could that NOT be her Final Smash?!

That K Rool render just a well done fake. Whoever did this bothered to change the position of the head, but it's fake nonetheless.
*goes back to lurking*

Nice. Funny how this one was debunked in a matter of hours, while Palutena's leak is out there for weeks (likely because it isn't a fake)

I don't think that fake is good at all tbh... where does it look real or match SSB4's artstyle at all? It even has Brawl's background and not the new gray one...

Until I see a legit Smash leak from 4chan, I'm not even considering something like that Yoshi/Baby Mario thing to be true.

I remember when VGX was supposed to have a trailer for Miis using Reggie's Mii as the promoted one.
Hell, I remember when there was supposed to be that one trailer at E3 that had Tharja of all characters shown off alongside other Newcomers.

I like the concept of that Yoshi leak, but I think that would be too much "Year of" overkill after Luigi's year. If that leak is true, that could be a good reason why they've been keeping Yoshi concealed though, and I would be all for a Yoshi + Baby Mario combo. I kind of believe this more now, as that would be good promotion for the new Yoshi's Island game.

Fair enough, but I think this particular one at least deserves an eye kept on it. If the leaker didn't previously know there would be a Nintendo Direct Thursday, then that was an extremely lucky guess.

You could immediately tell the K. Rool leak was fake because it was a cartoon drawing and not a 3D model.

but I kinda thought there was going to be a direct tomorrow.

Does that mean you guys should keep an eye on me?

The only thing I'm skeptical about with that Yoshi leak is a whole new Paper Mario dedicated to Mario and Yoshi. It just seems too fast for a new Paper Mario game and too much Yoshi overkill, even though it could be his year after all.

Maybe I'm missing something, was there evidence previously that a Direct would happen tomorrow? I thought we were just speculating random days and the direct just happened to land there.

I miss your beedrill, and no we shouldn't :p

I think we should keep an eye on that yoshi rumor to see if it holds any weight. and the tag-team leak.

I was discussing with friends what might be the direct. I guessed that Yoshi might get a new look and changes to his moveset. We shall see.

The one thing I don't get is the trailer for Yoshi. He's not a newcomer, and not third party.
So why is he so special to get one? Luigi didn't, and it was during the Year of Luigi.

maybe it's because of the fabled "big revamp"?
Thunderfang747 said:
lol I know one is happening tomorrow for sure, but I was responding to LegendOfRob saying he predicted it would happen tomorrow before the confirmation. I didn't want to say the 4chan leaker made a lucky guess and be wrong.

Yesterday, (that being tuesday) I had convinced myself that there would be a nintendo direct to show off TF. it wasn't going to be today, since they usually let us know ahead of time, and it wouldn't be friday, cause it might be too late.

and lucky me, I guessed right!

Well, thats true, but its only an announcement. A release can be late into the year for all we know

We've already had around nine newcomers revealed to us (a couple of them getting major changes, and a few being in directs). He would've done it by now.

But then what would that make Yoshi?

There should be some X and Bayo stuff too. There were some retweets from other devs. But it might just be for the Japan one as that one is a whole day later. It would be hilarious if we get this Yoshi one and Japan gets the jam packed one.

Also the trailer for Yoshi may be just a crap consolation one like Sonic got.

I can't wait for this Direct. It's gonna kill loads of leaks, and possibly prove one right.

I've got my proxy ready to stream it in English class.

oh man...

the hype is killer...
