The Wii fit trainer Trailer was actually being tested a few days before e3 happened, and some people got to see it early. It's possible that this could be the case here. It's also possible that we're being bull****ted which is the popular stance i've seen taken so far.

Wait what?

You wouldn't happen to have a source for this, would you?

Because this is the first time I've heard of this.

I took the liberty of adding the leak to the OP, as it has certainly sparked interest.

Many seem to be saying that the model is too smooth, but I can definitely see some jagged edges of polygons in specific areas. Specifically, the edges of his shoulder armour have noticeable areas where you can notice polygons, as well as the crossband on his chest. The facial area is very smooth looking, but faces in general are very well-modeled.

If it is a shop, it would be strange for someone to alter the pattern on the shoulder pad as well. That doesn't seem like something someone would do. This could be another case where there's a slight alteration, such as the Starman that can be found amongst Palutena's various golden ornaments that hang from her clothing...which totally seems like something Sakurai would approve of for the Smash universe.

As for facial features, there are a lot of similarites (as there are supposed to be, really), but the eyebrows are a bit different, as are the eyes themselves. The closest pic of Marth has a different direction of the glare from the eyes, as well. That wouldn't be tough to shop, but it also seems like it would be an oversight (pun intended) that a leaker wouldn't pay attention to.

I dunno...I'm leaning towards real on this one. Either that or it's a REALLY damn good fake.

So the possibilities I currently see are these:

a) it's fake, shopped using Marth's features
b) it's real, and Chrom is a new character for Smash 4
c) it's real, and Chrom is an alternate costume for Marth (could explain the similarities, and also he is a descendant of Marth who wields a different variation of the Falchion. I could see him being an alternate model/costume)

I'm leaning towards option b, though.
Im Just Hoping its Real, You Did make some Very Good Points thought. Although I think we Found out in the End that the Starman Ended up being just apart of her Ornaments just Cut off and Looking like a Starman..

I'm going to laugh if this leak turns out to be real given the circumstances.

I don't have the original source, but someone mentioned it in a thread about the leakE3.
It isn't entirely implausible to think of either. The video was shown to the public, so testing would be expected.

I'll go look for it, Vintage Creep started the thread (i think)

Something about it looks... not quite like a Smash 4 pic, at least based on the hundreds of pics we have gotten up to this point. It looks good, but it just doesn't look enough like Marth in particular for me to feel like it was made in the same style, which I imagine would be the case.

Still, definitely not overtly fake if you ask me.

Let's just hope this isn't some awesome April Fool's prank. Because if it is, this leaker has pranked a lot of people in one swoop.

I Know Im Using Backward Psychology for this, But Instead of Me Saying "Its true into Proven False", I Say that With These Leaks Its "False until Proven True" Am I Wrong?

If this was what was agreed upon, I would disagree with that actually. If you look in the first pic here of the leak, you can see that the Starman ornament has actual eyes. The brawl model underneath, as an example, has that large string of 4-pointed leaves that looks like some sort of vine, but it definitely doesn't resemble a Starman to me. Just my opinion though.





But nevermind Palutena at the moment, she's had her time in the spotlight. Let's focus on this Chrom leak for now, haha! :p

You mean pranked a lot of dumb people.
Take it easy, Xeno. This is one of the more believable leaks, and you know the last time you started this didn't end well. Fair warning.

I don't think I even need to edit it, it is just right there, in front of the TV. Not sure if it is a book or what it is, but clearly reads "photography"

EDIT: What I'm trying to say is that it could be another hint towards it being fake, just like the middle finger and all of that.

the fact people are being fooled pretty much brings into question the validity of the palutena leak if they can make fakes this good.

The guy hates Chrom too much.

But seriously, this picture is fake.

The middle finger adds credibility to this picture.

Oh and the Photography book doesn't mean anything.

Ok, guys. As you know, this is Marth:

And, this is Marth's face:

Let's see if it fits Chrom:

I guess not, right? But, if we make the eyes smaller, so the face looks bigger, and change the position of the mouth and the nose, we can get this:

And here's Chrom. It's basically a matter of smoothness (and maybe blurriness). Oh, the left eye is a little off, but enough with edits. It's 00:50 here and I'm going to work early.

My veredict: It's fake. Unless the guy managed to take the picture from the same height and angle as Marth's picture. If you don't see it, open the last two images on different tabs and compare them.
Good night.

No, it really doesn't. As now right no it hasn't been subjected to the same scrutiny that the Palutena leak was, and even if it does and still seems real to most, it would just suggest that this would fall into the same category as the Palutena leak. "Cannot say strongly one way or the other."

What is confusing is how he created everything else in the picture. I am curious as to how he made the clothing and hair.

G-guys, look at the reflection.


Coincidence? I think NOT

But seriously thought, that thing's so blurry i can't tell anything about a resemblance to someone. That's what i get for thinking outside the screen box

Definitely fake, only Palutena's two pics haven't been proven fake.

Thank you! Finally, someone who sees the ornament for what I see it as!

This is hilarious to me, just because of how many people I saw blindly jumping into the "Palutena auto confirmed pool because the leak can't be proven fake which makes it real and nobody would ever make anything themselves to troll people on the internet" pool, and now this happens and people are jumping into the "This is definitely fake why would a person even be playing the game it's auto fake because April Fools is happening people would definitely always troll us on the internet into infinity" pool.

At the end of the day not only are both "leaks" extremely shady, but the leaks hardly even matter because they're of likely-ish characters.
