It's the perfect cover.

What if it does neither?I'm not gonna be up when the pic goes up, so I'm gonna get both of these scenarios out of the way first.

If tonight proves the leak real:
I've come up with the best scenario for maximum meltdown:
1. Picture goes up, it's Klonoa as playable character.
2. It uses the exact same render as that speedpainting video
3. There is a trailer
4. The trailer is the speedpainting video, except at the very end, the video zooms out.
5. The speedpainter is Sakurai
6. Sakurai turns to the camera, and rips out his face mask.
7. He's actually Kojima.

What the hell is a "Yoshi?"
SInce there's a chance the leak could die with the next PotD and I'm off to bed let me say, if HenryGale doesn't confirm the bet is on (because I don't want to risk someone chickening out with a 'we never shook on it' clause) I'm willing to take it up with someone else.
I'm #TeamFake and it'll be a one month avatar bet. First come first serve. Just respond to this. Don't worry, I'm not going to chicken out so take this post as my acceptance as well.
Team HW, Team WW or team Pig?Put me in with #TeamGanondorf
We need to all band together & sleep through this PotD. We need a veteran tonight to end this leak, & I don't think I will be enough.
John Cena as Mario? I don't want to live in this world anymore.

Snake: This is Snake. I need info on a blue-haired girl and a white haired sorcerer guy...
F!Morgan: Aww, little soldier can't handle himself?
Snake: What?! Is this a child? Who are you?
F!Morgan: *laughs*. I'm Morgan. The white haired guy is Robin, my father. You do anything do him and I'll make sure you regret it!
Snake: Uh-huh. That's cute, coming from a little girl. So what's so special about him that will prevent me from disabling him quickly?
F!Morgan: His magic beats out your puny little weapons, old man. There's nothing you have that he can't outperform with sorcery!
Snake: Totally expected child banter...magic doesn't best modern day weaponry.
F!Morgan: Tough words from a grizzled old man. *laughs*
Snake: *growls* And who's the blue haired girl then? Looks too much like Marth.
F!Morgan: That's Lucina. She's my mother from the future...and she outperforms you in every way!
Snake: ...I think I've heard enough...where's the off button?
F!Morgan: Good luck losing! Oh wait, you don't need it!
*end*
A veteran would be the best way to prove or disprove it. There wouldn't be any room for debate, no excuses, no bullshit. A veteran reveal is the only decisive way to end this speculation once & for all.A 3DS stage that isn't a past stage would disprove it.
Could you imagine if he threw up a screenshot of Warioware or Mushroomy Kingdom or something or another stage that's on the leak but could conceivably still be a lucky guess? UUUugggghhh.
Been lurking in Smashboards for the day (they're still grieving over Debbie's de-confirmation) and wandered into a page about Smash4 Codecs
Anyone got a source for some more good ones?
Oh no please no more Smash RunYou'll get a post explaining how the Bulborbs in Smash Run work and you'll like it.
Only if he can keep those golden nipples of his.Captain Falcon in shorts?
Yeah I'd take that, even though that'd mean one lost bet for me, guess a veteran would sufficeYou hear this, Sakurai? Do it for Pikma! Make it a newcomer too! =P
Hope you get better soon Pikma!
"We've listened to fan-feedback and brought back Kirby's old Final Smash! Wow! Looks like his Dreamland famous soup could make anyone feel better!"
Get well soon![]()
Do you have any idea how the FE fanbase will react to the confirmation of Robin X Lucina?Been lurking in Smashboards for the day (they're still grieving over Debbie's de-confirmation) and wandered into a page about Smash4 Codecs

true biggest disappointment of the leak being real would be the end of the reign of the jigglypuff stare
This will probably be my last post on this matter for the meantime.Why do you guys think it's fake?
Because I always treat leaks with suspicion until proven otherwise. Since there's no proof that this is undeniably true I'm going with fake.
No matter the result I don't lose. Whereas if I thought it was real and started to believe this is what we're getting and then it turns out it isn't I might end up disappointed.
Basically #TeamFake is the safer option.

Since I was posted on #TeamReal, it should be noted that I only believe the third leak, not the first two.
SInce there's a chance the leak could die with the next PotD and I'm off to bed let me say, if HenryGale doesn't confirm the bet is on (because I don't want to risk someone chickening out with a 'we never shook on it' clause) I'm willing to take it up with someone else.

Meh, I have my reasons.Funny since that seems to be the set that most people are doubting, lmao
Glad I could help make ya feel better!I know this is kinda random but I just wanted to thank you guys, SmashGAF is probably the best GAF sub-community I've ever had the honor to be part of. You guys really make my day!

It shows that there isn't one or two people leaking the info, but a whole group.
It's a conspiracy I tell you!
I'm a master hacker? Well alright then I'll take it.

Thanks for posting. I think it's real because of the production values. Duck Hunt looks way too good. It's not about liking the roster at all (although I am partial to DHD).This will probably be my last post on this matter for the meantime.
Let it be known that I'm not saying this with utmost confidence or anything, I do see the merits of Real to the point I do expect it as a likely possibility at this point with more recent revelations. While I'd like to say that Sakurai would surely balance the various series stage representation in a way that doesn't come off as kinda awful as the leak shows this could well be the result of two games worth of stages to cover, I guess that's my main griping point when it comes to personal investment aside from my wanted third DK rep but oh well.
Moving onto something about the leaked images themselves, my main thoughts are that simply put the character and stage selection menus look kind of poor, I mean Sakurai games are known for their stellar menu presentation and while the blurry pics do no favours there's just something that looks off about them in parts, granted the screen size of the OG 3DS may be factoring into its more cramped and less flashy look on top of angles off screen shots, still the oddly bland grey/black areas around the bottom of the roster in particular lack that visual touch where there's usually a few background visual effects and what not (look at me stretch!).
As an aside the DLC roster is too perfect in a sense? had the roster from the images alone been all we were getting I think a lot more people would be opposing the leak with the loss of Ice Climbers, Lucas and Wolf for example so the quick fix DLC revelation that also throws in the missing yet expected Chorus Kids could be viewed as something of a quick cover up, or it's just damn good DLC which would be great even if I think most of those characters should've been in the default roster.
Snake himself is an odd one, leaving a big third party rep as a DLC character? it just doesn't seem that logical (but who knows Sakurai logic but Sakurai). So yeah I'm not entirely sold on the DLC lineup more than anything else.
Also this to a degree, I'm not wholly thrilled with the leak but it's still actually beyond what I was expecting (Shulk, Chorus Kids and possibly Dark Pit based on Palutena's trailer were the low end expectations I gave myself), so if it is real it's still better than what I was expecting anyway sans having to potentially shell out more money for Lucas and Wolf, oh and those stages, yuck.
