At the very least, we have something to discuss totally on topic for a change! :cool:

Once again, it's not unheard of to see original models in a fake leak. There's some really elaborate ones, but this one just looks too similar to Marth's introduction pic.

It looks too real to some, but it's easily just destroyable.

Again, EVERYONE BUT AMERICANS ARE PRETTY MUCH IN APRIL FOOLS!

I don't know, the biggest thing that has me doubting this is one simple detail. It seems like he/she has this at their house. Which begs the obvious question of how he managed to get a copy of the game without someone knowing. There's a whole bunch of other reasons to doubt this Chrom "leak". But that's the big one in my opinion.

I'm a fan of your avatar. But that's off topic.

I dunno, it's just pointing to fake at this point. But then again, we haven't really done full analysis on it.

Chrom's face looks slightly distorted and it doesn't match his artwork.... Calling fake due to distortion and April Fools

Oh god, haha! I don't know if I can take the pic seriously, even if the shot of Chrom looks decent.

A ****ing Other M poster.

I doubt that full analysis is needed at this point. It's easy to see that there's too many off details and alike comparisons that this is looking like a hodge-podge.
To be fair.
The middle finger does imply some sarcasm.
And then there's this, which leads to possible satire.

Either way, it just adds up. The house thing also practically DBs this.

Hmm. The face looks like it could be photoshopped from Marth, but then where did the rest of the model come from? That part looks pretty official to me.

I wouldn't say him looking a lot like Marth would make the leak seem less legit. Given that the two characters are related. And that we do see some minor differences between them. Still, I'm not going to put much faith into this being real. Too much fishy stuff going on. I might be the only one that thinks this, but it seems weird that the TV screen would be so clear.

For a second it seemed Palutena had some competition in the legit leak department, but clearly there are already too many problems going on here.

I for one ain't buying it.

The armor does look pretty good. It honestly won't be long before we see the real deal anyway, I'm sure. It'll be fun to compare.

Hm. It is April Fool's in some places already... Including Japan... And if I remember correctly, Chrom is a wanted newcomer in Japan...
But why would a Japanese leaker have an English Other M poster, an English book of photography and a printed picture of the Irate Gamer on his wall?

Or flip us off?

Seeing as there's a middle finger, thank you for cropping it.

Am guessing it's fake for multiple reasons besides April Fools. That said it is a well made pic (the Chrom part at least), and I will give them credit for going with the Wii U version which is arguably harder to Photoshop for.
I had GIMP up anyway, not a problem.

Just want to point out that the stage does look like an exact rip of Marth's intro image. The concealed cape makes the photoshop on this one easy to make up. And Chrom looks very similar to Ike.
As @ APC99 APC99 stated.
BTW, It's April 1st in some countries already. Look at Nester, Look at Pokemon Maps. Early Fools.

A comparison including Ike. I think Chrom's the next Palutena, if not for it being April Fool's.

Perhaps it isn't needed, but it's always good to be thorough, is it not?

To the Palutena leak's credit, her model is not exactly the same as her models in Brawl and Uprising.
Chrom looks extremely similar to Marth and Ike and thus could easily be made with simple texture and model hacks on him. Two pics that sand out to me are these two:


Someone must have access to this game and is actually playing as Chrom, did a texture and model hack on Marth or Ike to make him look like Chrom, or Photoshopped a picture of Marth with Chrom instead (the last one would be hard to do).

Overall... it's hard for me to tell. Regardless if it's legit or not, I still expect Chrom to get in Smash.

Didn't someone do some scan thing with the Palutena pics? Is it possible to do the same with this one?

If it were any other time this leak might be worth more attention, but its appearance on April Fool's is just too much to be a coincidence.

Here's Marthy-Marth's close up with Luigi.

Here is a close-up with this Chrom.

The problem is the amount of detail put into Chrom, there's just way too much. Look at how jagged and messy Marth and his textures are closed-up; Chrom isn't jagged and his textures look completely fine.
I mean this game looks amazing, but not that amazing. It also can't be a CGI cutscene because this image takes place in an existing stage.
That and facial structure is preeetty similar, but considering that they are related to each other it could be intentional.


The fact that it even came from some guy's house with game posters and an irate gamer poster should be enough to call it a fake imo, but he does have some wicked Photoshop skills.

We...don't have another Palutena on our hands do we?

If not, I still have to hand it to the artist. Even if it's just a photoshopped Marth it's nonetheless VERY well done.

And yeah as someone else said he's Marth's descendant, so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary to have Chrom share features with him.

Edit: yes I'm keeping in mind that this was posted near April Fool's Day. Which, by the way, shouldn't we be labeling it like that?

APRIL FOOLS DAY LEAK: Chrom picture

Like that in the OP or something

I will say I was just in Japan and a LOT of stuff is written in english, as in book titles and posters and stuff could definitely be in english, and that piece of paper near the tv does appear to have possibly Japanese written on it.

however Chris Bores (irate gamer) and Other M posters SCREAM fake to me as does the fact its april fools and we are being flipped off in the photo.

as for Chrom on the TV, its well done but again why would some random guy have the game in his living room with trolling posters on the wall and post it on april 1st...cause its a joke. just seems like the obvious answer is its fake.

Dang it, where's Groose when you need 'im?
Me? Why would you need me? Anyway, I was in bed playing some Mega Man when I thought, "You know, I feel like checking on old Gamefaqs. So I booted it up, then quick got out of bed when I saw this mess.

I'm still kind of parisons myself to the situation before I make any judgement. I personally am still skeptical (simple background, face like Marth's, hair seems a tad out of focus, posted on April Fool's Day), but I'm nowhere near ready to toss it out yet. Gimme a while to see what I can dig up, OK?

The leak is to perfect its need to be shaded in and more like a smudge and have horrible camera angle then it will be more believable. Xd

I'd just like to point out that even though this is very well done, I can easily imagine the person working on it for a long time specifically for April Fool's.

Unless the shot is real, and the person is just being egregious for fun.

But really, a printed picture of Irate Gamer? At least it brings the laughs.

Here's the thing.
With most legit leaks. They generally show some formality.
There's a reason why text leaks just state the facts, or picture leaks just have a picture.

This, on the other hand, shows blatant sarcasm.
It doesn't want to be take seriously. If it was supposed to, that middle finger wouldn't be there.

Though, I'll never get that Irate Gamer picture.

The internet seems to suggest otherwise - it seems to suggest April Fools Day has been growing in popularity in Japan over the past several years, especially in regards to jokes across digital media, contrary to the typically humourless depiction of the Japanese. Is this not a true reflection of what happens in Japan?
I Dont Know if this Means ANYTHING at All, But in The Animal Crossing Games, April Fools Day is A Holiday Celebrated in all Versions (JP,NA,EU), But I Dont Really think that Makes a Difference. Besides, Sakurai is The King of Passing over Certain Anniversary's/Holidays when We Expect him to Acknowledge them. Im STILL Gonna be up late tonight Looking forward to the Big Post, however (If its gonna be big at All..)

California. Why you worried about it?
Do you guys realize that characters can be used as base models to create other characters?

How the **** do you know if hes random?

No matter where the picture is at, anything can turn out to be real.
I agree with him getting in smash, but the whole texture hack thing is the most craziest thing I've heard today. But alright...

And whoever brought up that he has similar ears, need to reevaluate lmao

I'm not sure what to think at this point I'll let the pros do there handywork and see how it goes from there.

*secretly praying that the thread blows up overnight just like with Palutena :evil:*

Agreed, but it is April fools.

Well, I think we can all say that something ridiculous like this was inevitable.
