Why do you guys want Impa anyway? Sakurai has proven multiple times he hates Zelda characters and makes them crap tier.

Yeah just like Sheik in Melee.

Oh

 

[Kouriozan]

I don't have the Krystal image on-hand either, can someone post it?

There

Edit : see below

 

[Durden77]

Lucario's K.O.'s don't add up correctly among other things.

 

[PorygonVandal]

All ties to metal gear gone.
Damn not even a trophy in that leak.
Rayman even got a trophy.

That's what strikes me as odd since in the music page we have...

[Nickle]

It's probably just an early build of the game.

 

[Mik317]

I love leaks.

fake or not.

It is the hypest part of the process (next to actually playing it of course)

The point is that her design clashes with the other Zelda characters who use TP art style for Smash.

Toon Link said what

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Starlow source image -

Hmmm...

I actually think this makes me think it's real. Seems like a faker wouldn't go with such an obvious flag and just use stock-art, when they could've used the 3D Model of Starlow in Dream Team.

 

[-Horizon-]

I don't get why people would hate that though, Skyward Sword was her best canonical design



.

Of course Aonuma had to go and say Hyrule Warriors wasn't canon

Spoiler

its canon in my heart

 

[Jawmuncher]

You serious? They're not even facing the same direction.

All you have to do is mirror it.

It's fairly easy to invert the components of an image.

Wait what? Now Impa has been confirmed and there are more trophies?

Where's that georly post so I can keep up?

Impa hasn't been confirmed. This is off the back of a fake leak.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

He is referring to Okami on the Wii.

He was right under a Bayonetta post, but that makes way more sense.

 

[Fireblend]

And why go through the trouble of taking pictures in weird angles so that we can't make out the details? Holy shit guys I think this might be real.

Spoiler

/s

 

[KelpPlankton]

lol nobody's been confirmed, these screens are clearly not from the ESRB video leak and have no verification whatsoever from their source.

 

[Mik317]

The point is that her design clashes with the other Zelda characters who use TP art style for Smash.

so?

She will thus rep SS. and I am sure they can TP-ify her if needed

(I don't think this leak is real btw)

 

[StreetsAhead]

There's clearly too many things that flag this image as fake for it not be real.

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

Ahh gotcha.

Edit: Wait, Moonlight, is that you? I didn't recognize you without your Anna avatar. lol

 

[Zimmy64]

I'm very skeptical about any leaks at this time. That being said I'm neutral on this one. I've never seen Wolf or Impa's renders before and they look original. This could be the base of Wolf's render

But I doubt it.

I also think people are looking at "Roy's" trophy the wrong way. What if its not Roy. I think it could be Boom Boom. If you look he's holding the magic scepter from Super Mario Bros 3. However the trophy has a spiked shell and spiky wristband things and Boom Boom doesn't. Although it is not out of the question that Sakurai created a new model for him (interesting to note that Boom Boom's SMB3 artwork does have him with a spiky shell).

 

[Drago]

I hope it's real. Impa would be my choice for a new Zelda rep and I was bummed that Wolf may have been cut.

Gonna go with it being fake for my own sanity though. lol

 

[Mr. Smiley]

That's what strikes me as odd since in the music page we have...

That's not really a tie. That's a (very) short portfolio of what that artist has done to give an example of his/her/their skill.

Being on iPad is handicapping x)

 

[Blizzard]

There's clearly too many things that flag this image as fake for it not be real.

But that's what people thought about the REAL leak! Haven't we learned that details seeming wrong actually means something that looks fake may well be real?

 

[-Horizon-]

I just noticed what you put at the bottom of your post...

 

[Xpike]

Doesn't mean shit, unless you're also willing to believe we're getting Chrono trigger in this game.

The first shot is Roy, you can see his shades.

But I notice the second Trophy has darker skin, so that might be Boom Boom.

 

[Finale Fireworker]

Krystal Pic which won't quote

Maybe I'm looking too hard. Where is the problem? It's a little wordy, I guess? Like, it could definitely use an edit but it's technically all correct English that makes sense to read.

 

[theprodigy]

Impa hasn't been confirmed. This is off the back of a fake leak.

I didn't even recognize you without your Anna avatar!

 

[Mik317]

All 3d Zelda games would be repped too.

OOT has Sheik (albeit TP-ified)

WW has Toon Link

TP has Link, Zelda, and probably Falcondorf

SS would have Impa.

Skull Kid obviously should have made it yo

 

[balladofwindfishes]

You serious? They're not even facing the same direction.

And even so, trophies using official art isn't even a new or novel concept in smash...

 

[Aaronrules380]

But that's what people thought about the REAL leak! Haven't we learned that details seeming wrong actually means something that looks fake may well be real?

Because it's not like plenty of other leaks that looked fake as this actually were fake. One exception does not prove the rule

 

[zroid]

Kriken, meet MrSaturn99

 

[BGBW]

That's what strikes me as odd since in the music page we have...

Every time someone quotes the composer list as evidence for something I think to myself, "wow, a lot of people really want iDOLM@STER stuff in Smash".

 

[munchie64]

Holy shit that last sentence is bad.

 

[Fandangox]

Toon Link said what

I think that's the point of Toon Link. He is a separate Link (Main playable Zelda character) that reps one of the different Zelda Timelines. It'd be a bit jarring to see a side character like Impa, or Tingle to not fit the style that most of the other characters have.

In short, Toon Link standing out is not odd, since there's a regular Link already.

 

[BGBW]

You serious? They're not even facing the same direction.

Usually I'd dismiss this as a joke but it's Beelzel, so I must ask.

Really?

 

[Kriken]

The point is that her design clashes with the other Zelda characters who use TP art style for Smash.

I don't understand why that'd be a problem considering the cast as a whole. Heck neither Marth nor Ike use their FE:A designs

Spoiler

thankfully

and considering there's Toon Link to clash with the TP designs, I don't really see why a SS rep would be bad *Shrugs*

Edit: I see your argument with Toon Link, but I still feel that 3/5 being TP still wouldn't make Impa stand out that much

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

And even so, trophies using official art isn't even a new or novel concept in smash...

Yes it is.

Kyle Hyde and the Paper Mario characters were based off how they looked in the actual game.

This is the first time we've had a Trophy that was just concept art that didn't actually appear within the game. That's what Stickers were.

 

[Beelzebufo]

There's clearly too many things that flag this image as fake for it not be real.

You seem to be really upset that the leak was real lol.

Anyway, I can't really comment on how real this leak could be. All I know is that the Wolf thing looks reused to me, and I don't want Impa.

 

[Ahnez]

But that's what people thought about the REAL leak! Haven't we learned that details seeming wrong actually means something that looks fake may well be real?

Well, that KO count error is not a mistranslation or something like it

Fucking up a simple matrix line sum is a really amateur programming mistake..

 

[Super Stardust]

Why do fake leakers always release off angle blurry pictures? ¯_(&#12484_/¯

 

[Zimmy64]

The first shot is Roy, you can see his shades.

But I notice the second Trophy has darker skin, so that might be Boom Boom.

I see now. For some reason my mind didn't comprehend that the 5th and 6th pictures were of different trophies

 

[Kouriozan]

Why do fake leakers always release off angle blurry pictures? ¯_(&#12484_/¯

Easier to photoshop.

 

[Mik317]

what Leak would this even match up with?

I can't remember any leak that had Impa AND Wolf

 

[MagiusNecros]

Yeah just like Sheik in Melee.

Oh

How was Shiek in Brawl?

 

[Neoxon]

Seriously, why is this up for debate? The Roy Koopa image clearly proves those images fake.

 

[Cse]

what Leak would this even match up with?

I can't remember any leak that had Impa AND Wolf

MFL said that Impa was one of the remaining newcomers, although I can't recall if he ever mentioned anything regarding Wolf.
