Super Smash Bros. for 3DS & Wii U Thread 7: How Can My Smash Brother Be This Cut

If you don't get this new generation of Donkey Kong madness, then you are stupid. Yes, that's insulting, but it's also the truth.
We have a challenge for Retro. In Donkey Kong Country Returns 3, create a story where Donkey Kong gets dong cancer. Imagine the drama of a vulnerable Donkey Kong still persisting on his quest for bananas despite his illness. It needs fleshing out, no pun intended, but we guarantee that the gaming world would be shocked, stunned, and moved by the effort to make Donkey Kong's character more meaningful.
 
well whattya know, the Palutena leak was fake.

there was a topic on /v/ where someone admitted it was staged using project M and photoshop.

Oh snap truth bombs

Do we know if it's the same person who posted it?

Not that I think it was real, but for the sake of verification. Someone did this during the pokemon X/Y leaks IIRC. Somebody claimed they faked it and it turned out to be real.

The original palutena shot is off-screen. This is a direct screenshot, proving that it's fake.

Hold up, seriously? I'm going to be so upset not because this could be fake but because with this bit of info I could guess exactly how they did it.

Smash 3 Texture mod Mario + a touched up Zelda Palutena alt + Smash 4 Battlefield.
 
The original palutena shot is off-screen. This is a direct screenshot, proving that it's fake.

The two shots don't quite match up (Look at Mario), also the off screen shot doesn't have compression like the "clear" shot. I'm gonna go with this guy is faking it to make people think it's fake.
 
I'm confident she'll be in the game.

But, I did say that the Palutena "leak" was a photoshop.

...despite being convinced after tons of arguing to join the side of teamreal.

Should've stuck to my guns.

Meta Knight.
 
Called the image being fake. Remember, that doesn't mean that she won't be in the game in some form. I don't remember who argued that it was probably real because Sakurai showed off Kid Icarus related shots the same week, but lol...

Also #TeamPKFire

Mario looks a bit diferent, the staff looks longer, but he got the same Palutena there...

I remember saying it was fake, but Palutena was going to make it in anyways.
 


  • New shot is direct shot, not off-screen
  • Mario's head, and only his head, is in a slightly different position
  • Mario's head model is actually different. Lighting on the hat is off, mustache is off.
  • Palutena's orb is a different color (size?)

Possibilities:
  • This proves it's fake, as this is a screenshot taken seconds after/before the other one
  • This guy tried to make a fake shot of the previous shot to try to prove the previous shot fake, even though it's real. (lol)
  • Guy made a fake shot based off the old fake shot. (lol)
 
Guys, the Palutena shots weren't made by someone. It's clear from the various differences (Mario's head, Palutena's staff) that someone recreated the Palutena shots to try and make it look like they're fakes. See the various posts elaborating above.

This reminds me of Pokémon XY, where certain Pokémon leaked and people would pretend that they're fakes, saying "I made them" and showing art, only for them to be ultimately proven real. Pignite being shopped from Lickilicky, anyone?
 
So, list of things proving that this 4chan poster is faking it.

1.Mario's head is different
2.The compression
3.Palutena's staff has an outline in the offscreen shot, but not in the "clear" shot
4.The orb on her staff is a different color.
  • New shot is direct shot, not off-screen
  • Mario is in a slightly different position
    [*]Palutena is in a slightly different position
  • Palutena's orb is a different color

  • This guy tried to make a fake shot of the previous shot to try to prove the previous shot fake, even though it's real. (lol)

Actually she is in the exact same position.

Or this is one of the original WIP images? Mario's head being in a slightly different position makes sense if they took a batch of them at once for editing later.

Everything else, like the color of the staff, could be touched up in Photoshop. That'd actually be remarkably easy.

Was it the creator?

TEAM FAKE WINS
HOORAY
WE WON GUYS

EDIT: Wait, clean shot


WE HAVE WON

WE HAVE WON
WE HAVE WON
PALUTENA FOR SMASH (just because she's mos likely, least favorite "main characer in KI:U, although I love her still. Everyone is a quality character in that game)

So double fake?

Pretty sure the XY thing was just a parody of the Black/White leak (Emboar was made based on Rhyperior). But yeah, first thing I thought when reading that post is that someone is trying to do a reference to the pokemon thing.

Sorry, you're right. The orb is the only thing that seems off.

Hmm, that is true. What about the compression, though?

On second thought, seeing them side by side like this, yep someone on #TeamFake is trying to cheat. Good try with the use of the Smash 3 guys' work and that one Palu-Zelda alt though.

Edit: You guys move fast @-@

Call this a gut feeling, but I'm going with Ike.
 
If this is a fake reproduction of a real leak, it's remarkably well-made. Also, I feel like we're reenacting the plot of Sonic Adventure 2 through these images.

C'mon guys....

Not really, there are way to many things that he messed up when trying to make an offscreen shot look direct.
C'mon guys....
"I'm going to release an image that is different from the leak, thus proving I made the leaked image"
Yeah, that totally makes sense.
