Watch the Lip pic be real and the Palutena one be fake lol. But does anybody know when the Nintendo Direct is scheduled for this month? Or has any leak mentioned a date?

To think that when (if) Chrom gets accounted and his facial structure/model is a take-off from the leak makes me a bit anxious.

If that leak is considered live, we sure could have some sleuths from this thread to investigate the leaker. Maybe just updating the leak spoiler might be fine.

I can appreciate a nicely done fake leak. The Chrom one, as w/ the Nester one keeps the threads jumpin even when you know it's fake. It's just fun to speculate while we wait for new information about the game. I'm not expecting any new character announcements until the next Nintendo Direct though. Placing bets on a retro character.

Oh well. It was fun while it lasted.

Anyway, about that Lip-leak, that's a sprite. Particularly the one she does when she meets an enemy in the Death Mt.

At least someone wants her playable badly enough to fake a leak. Even if it's poorly-done.

He just admitted it's fake. Even if he hadn't, the terrible shading and multitude of inconsistencies are multiplied tenfold in the hi-def image. Pretty good fake though, considering what we've seen previously.
I spoke too soon.

Ah, so it's fake. If I could meet the guy that made it I would give him a big hug. You only see "leakers" who aren't attention seeking and willing to let people know that they constructed a fake leak (Early at that) every blue moon. Big props to the guy that made it, he's got a lot of skill to make a Wii U leak look even slightly real; and even more props to admitting it was fake earlier (I think he also mentioned it's because he saw that we were still arguing whether it was real or not; what joke leaker does that?).

The guy posted the original photoshopped picture as well as the room it was in. It's him and he's already said it's fake.

Well, it was fun and a really good looking model with glorious hair. Back to text leaks. I expect a leak to talk about a Nintendo Direct this month.

This Chrom leak just shows how gullible people can get when there hasn't been a character confirmation in a while.

I'm actually surprised at the lengths some people went to try and make a case for it being real.

Well if someone can make such a good fake for Wii U.... then.... I mean... it only leads to one thing.... and I think we all know... what it means....

Well I'm sure with this Chrom leak being such a legit looking fake that it only means the Palutena leak could be a legit looking fake as well. It puts into question the authority of the Palutena leak. That plus the staffs are different sizes on the stage statue and leak.

I'm glad it's been put to rest, however, picture leaks are way more fun than written leaks. Where's the commitment, other fake leakers! Give us something pretty to look at!

Finding a fake makes a pattern not. This fake simply wasn't of the same quality as the Palutena leak - we still haven't found any definitive proof. In the Chrom shot alone there was numerous shading issues, background inconsistencies, pose similarities, etc. and we found all that in one day. Palutena has defied deconfirmation for months. I hardly think this provides any solid pattern at all.

Edit: Totally agree, picture leaks are fantastic. Great fun to pick apart and try to find weight for/disprove. Better than a written leak we can only work hypothetical whys/why nots on until a PoTD deconfirms them.

The staffs could've been shortened for gameplay purposes.

Yea. I'd say that Chrom was a pretty good fake. What I said is pretty much all that anyone can say against the Palutena leak. Just throwing stuff out there. I'm not really intending on a heated debate (not that your giving me one). some people on here would misinterpret what I say they'd think that I think Palutena isn't in the game if I say that her leak is fake. I really don't have an opinion on it.

Yea it could've been but I think its unlikely. I would think that they'd just keep the models as similar as possible. Thats just me though.

I air more on the side of it being real, but the fact that it's an off-screen shot rather than an image itself makes it impossible to verify entirely. It could well be an extremely convincing fake, but having lasted so long I doubt it now. Either way, the Palutena leak had a lot more going for it than Chrom ever did, though it was another fantastic fake.

Let's hope for more picture leaks!

We got any new text leaks lately? Maybe something really funny for April Fools. Well, unless you consider the Chrom thing funny. Then I guess that counts.

The fact that people aren't getting this joke is embarrassing. HE HAS A POSTER OF OTHER M! What more do you people want?
am I the only one that liked other m and thinks the hatred for it is overblown :(

Well, hopefully, but that's not the point. If the first place you're posting it to is /v/, an Other M poster is immediate proof that you're trolling (amongst the other props).

Guys, wait... what if Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS are FAKE!?

Like, has anybody actually seen Sakurai in real life? The "official" website is probably just some 4chan guy.

If you can fake the Palutena pic, you can probably fake anything. Who's to say any of this is real?

Gotta admit, seeing that picture in it's full glory, it's very well done. I can most definitely tell it's photoshopped now, but it still looks incredibly impressive. He did an amazing job trying to fool us all! :D

Ah well, that was fun while it lasted. Chrom's likely to be in anyway, haha.

Plus, on the bright side, I finally got the new Roster Icon for Chrom I wanted! I'd say this turned out a-okay, in the end. :p

Thats why I prefer Image Leaks even if they are false you can get a real nice roster icon from them XD.
