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

You can tell what her face looks like? I can't even tell the size of her nose in that shot.

I've zoomed in, and I find the face a bit chubby with a rounded chin, like the leaked/faked screens.

The face lacks detail to such detail that it looks like every incarnation of her. You can't jump to any conclusions from this.
Yes I know lol, but it isn't a conclusion just an assumption.
 
It's me or the face of this statue looks like the palutena leaks/fake screens?

might LOOK LIKE, but ...

Pink - Completly diferent staff
Green - much more tight armor
White - Diferent hair bang lenght (much longer)
Blue - lack of jewelry
Red - completly lack of that rope thing

Might be a 3DS-WiiU diference, but the staff tells me otherwise

#TeamFake might have less people, but it is as stronger as ever ! >=O
 
The difference I see is the arches on the staff. They look broader on the statue. Though the dark blue area might be making me see things wrong.
 
Late to the party but wow. A remade Sky World was one of my stage predictions, now if only I was right about there being an alternate Chapter 20 version and I'll be completely right.
 
Good choice for a Wii U stage - wonder what the actual battlefield looks like, though.

Also - still thinking Palutena's in, still thinking the leak was fake.
 
The "rope" thing she may just be holding in the 3Ds one for battle, like so.

...that's interesting.

Here are the staff designs :

Left is Statue | Right is Leak

Here is Brawl Palutena

and here is Kid Icarus Uprising Palutena

Interesting to note that the leak uses Brawl design while the statue uses Uprising design
 
This is quite a tease, Sakurai!

Oh, but it means that the Wii U will be getting a Kid Icarus stage! I wonder if it'll be breakable platforms and stage-spikes galore this time.
 
Hilariously enough that I predicted that we are getting Kid Icarus Wii U stage last night. I'm pleased with the stage. It look fantastic. I ponder if we are getting brawl stage as returning stage. I have an odd feeling with new stage is more likely to be Palutena's stage.

Pic of the day. You can find this statue of the Goddess of Light in one of the stages. She's watching over the arena.

lol

Sakurai is right up there with Ono for top tier trolling.

THIS CONFIRMS KID ICARUS: Wii U!


"Console games are represented on Wii U, and handheld on 3DS"

Kid Icarus NES being upgraded to HD. :P


Yep, Yep. People show how desperate they are with Palutena leaks, and Sakurai took advantage of that.


Captain Falcon and King Dedede is in background as well.

It's me or the face of this statue looks like the palutena leaks/fake screens?

so the 3DS model is fake, well thats a wrap.

Yeah, the picture comparison disconfirmed the leaks. I preferred to wait until real picture of 3DS before we decide who is winner between team fake and team real.
 
Also what BGBW said


And thinking about, the lack of the rope thing and the simplification of the belt decorations basicaly confirms that she is playable since the physics of this would be too complicated for such small details (unlike Marth's cape, which receives awesome cape physics)

And disconfirms the leak even more #Teamfake
 
I really hope that we are getting underworld stage as well, but I doubt that now.

Anyway, did anyone noticed that Palutena's Dress edge is different as well. Smash Wii U's Palutena had dots on her edge, awhile Leak's Palutena had patterns of yellow and red but I don't see any dots.
 
Question: have we seen Pit's up special flight move? Because it would not make sense to maintain it if he's going to fight Palutena. Why would she grant him that power in that situation? What move could he use if he's not getting that this time?
Goodness knows Sakurai is all about continuity. That's why Paula and Poo taught Ness their moves.

this is a statue

I don't think it'll be an exact replica of the player model
 
Also note that the statue's staff is much longer than the leak's Brawl staff. Unless they decided to give her playable form the old staff for some reason, it's a big inconsistency.
 
so the 3DS model is fake, well thats a wrap.

The "leak" was certainly faked, but the fact that a background element representing a character differs from the playable depiction of the character is hardly fuel for either camp.

Wow. And you guys said team real was reaching... This confirms nothing!

Goes to the corner to cry.

Which, if leak is real, isn't anything new because Link in the 3DS version is, for the most part, looks like his Brawl counterpart and looks a bit different from his SSB4 incarnation.
 
On the flipside, do you expect them to make two different models or take the same model and give it a stony texture?

we're talking about sakurai here

he inserted a picture of his cat and a rice ball into a stage for no reason other than he could

SHUT UP I KNOW IM REACHING
 
Edit: maybe double post, sorry!

Also would make sense for the statue to be an higher res, or modified version, of the statue in the game.

I'm not familiar with how the statue is supposed to look like in uprising however. It would make sense if there were differences. (like the ornaments)

Would it be possible for the statue to be from an earlier iteration of the Palutena model? It would be better for the background elements to have less polygons than a player model, wouldn't it? (Disclaimer, I don't know much about 3d modeling, so be gentle with me if I'm way off base :p )
 
Sakurai was so mad at the leak that he cut playable Palutena from the roster and put her as a stage background. Good job guys.

The most impressive part of that is that nobody made a joke that when Palutena is playing, Riddley take her place as the big statue in the background =P

oh yeah that DOES make sense
 
OT: I'd totally be down for a Kid Icarus Uprising sequel on Wii U, that game has the potential to blow out to stratospheric proportions, and there's still lots they can do with the series.

Didn't it actually sell really well on 3DS?

Maybe, but I don't know why it would be more of a current design than her playable form. Statue has the Uprising staff, longer bangs like Uprising, and the rings on her arm are thinner.

Yeah, it sold very well on 3DS from what I remembered.

Hey, I wasn't saying anything about Palutena's chances (in that post).

So will we see new game stuff on this investor thing? Not just Smash, but other games. I don't even know what an investor meeting is.

It's not unheard of for companies to announce new products in investor calls, but that's not their purpose. Don't go in expecting anything.
 
So will we see new game stuff on this investor thing? Not just Smash, but other games. I don't even know what an investor meeting is.

It's where a company discusses its plans for the new financial period in order to convince their investors that it's still worth keeping their stock in.

We may hear about release dates, but they're probably not going to show the games themselves.

I don't think we're getting a direct until late into February.

They usually show stuff as an example of where they are going i.e. if they are discussing online plans they'll show a game that makes use of it. This may not be new stuff i.e. they could show Mario Kart 8 while discussing online on Wii U.
