Super Smash Bros Wii U & 3DS Thread 4: New Year, Old Arguments

Looks like you might be right!

Here's a bigger pic for detail

god this now feels like looking for faces in the clouds lol

Honestly, we stop stop trying to look for faults. It's flawless in many aspects.

See, I was right! :p
 
It's not the Mario powerstar. On the Brawl trophy link that was posted, and you might be able to see it here too:

On the lower belt, the second rightmost one. It's a whole chain of star-shaped items. What looks like the "eyes" on the leak shot is just the top most spike of the next link of the chain.
However, these ornaments prove that, whatever the model is (real or fake), it's based on the Brawl model, and not the 3DS model.
 
The model definitely favors Uprising, but there are also some Brawl references. If anything, that’s kind of what makes me think it might be real.

The “leaked” Palutena has some of her Brawl ornaments, but it also has the belt buckle and hair style (the length/depth of her bangs) from Uprising. Her face is also based off of the Uprising art.

I’m expecting to see Palutena regardless of this leak, so I’m not too concerned.

You're right... and if you look at the other image you can see that the second ornament is a long chain.

So nevermind that then.

Hmm I see what you're going for, but I refuse to believe your version :P

yep lips match up too

I think you've got the right of it. And what's being lost in the confusion is that you can see the whole thing in the other shot (and beaten, but whatever):


That said I can't tell if the top looks different from the rest of the chain, or if it's just bleeding into the next charm over, so carry on, blurry speculation-GAF.

Mm hmm. Good point. We can't see the full star after all so it may well be part of that chain.

Honestly if it's based on Brawl it makes me lean toward fake. Considering Pit has Uprising stuff.

I think people are getting a little too excited at the prospect of it being real, lol.
 
Could someone get on Brawl and rotate the Palutena trophy to see if it can match up with the pose Palutena's making in this leaked picture?



Seems to be very similar to the trophy's pose.

Can't be the trophy, look here at the image you posted. You see that rope hanging from the side of the shield in the trophy? That's not there in the leak shot (i.e. it's gone or she's holding it like she does in the Final Smash pose I posted). Though she seems to be sprawling her fingers outward underneath the shield (like she is in the trophy), so the rope might've been cut out.
 
Brawl

Her bangs extend far beyond her hair layering. There’s also a large distance between her eyes and nose, giving her face a sharp look.

”Leak”

The “leaked” model’s bangs end where her hair is layered; they’re much shorter than in Brawl. Her face is also softer and rounder — she looks much more cherubic and anime-esque like her official Uprising art.

Then either the person who hypothetically faked this edited the model for further convincingness, or it's real and tightly based on the Brawl trophy and Uprising art.

The "star-chain" on the trophy looks like the tips are pointed upwards though, whilst the starman's look straighter? And it plain just looks like a starman to me.

Fuuuuck this mystery just got deeper
 
Everything else lines up with previous models of her. The only thing that still looks weird to me is her face. Something so off-putting and yet I can't put my finger on it. So for me, #TeamFake even though I'm 90% sure she'll be a newcomer.

hmm you could be right, its hard to tell, it looks a lot like a powerstar, but I can also see it being a chain of those (leaves I think not stars)
 
The trophy and the one in the leak have slightly different trinkets.

Plus you can see the "power star" looks different to the starlike chain

That's what bothers me about it as well.

She's the 3ds version of wii u's link face lol.

The picture quality is bad, being an off screen shot, so you can't really make out much nuance.

The other pic shows the chain so I think that's all it is.
 
I guess we'll know if it was real if she gets revealed and has that star ornament.

Still not convinced but it's impressive either way.

Mm hmm. Good point. We can't see the full star after all so it may well be part of that chain.

Yeah, people are getting too excited about Palutena. I'm not sure if she will be in the game, so I'm hoping that she would make in the game. Wait for Official Reveal before yall celebrating! :P
 
Brawl

”Leak”

Now that you post those side by side, the chain of the necklace also looks different from the Brawl model. In the Final Smash art, it's much finer, and in the trophy models, it's really thick and barely noticeable to be an actual chain:

As opposed to the leak:

Which has much finer chain links, and looks more like the Uprising model's necklace:

The choker also seems a bit different, but that might just be the angle.
