Of all the "leaks" that had come out for this game so far, the Palutena leak seem to be the most plausible. I have yet to see a convincing argument to prove that the images are faked, unlike so many others.
Vote. .#Bayonetta 4 SmashFrom what I gather, Palutena is...
a.) Very popular character in Uprising
b.) Unique moveset
c.) Yet another female character
d.) Other Uprising characters wouldn't be as unique as she'd be (Magnus would be another sword user, Medusa would be more suited as a boss, Forces of Nature would all be A Ts and Dark Pit would be a straight Pit alt)

Vote. .#Bayonetta 4 Smash@Enlong: Spoiler. Major spoiler. Spoiler tag that.
Like, seriously. I don't get how people are so dogmatically convinced that it's legitimate. If you think that's legitimate, then let me tell you town Sonic and Tails in Melee, plus maybe Toad.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.Point is, it could be real and it could be fake. Palutena probably will be playable, but we have no way of knowing if the images are in fact real.

Vote. .#Bayonetta 4 SmashI still don't see Snake going away anytime soon. Sonic and Megaman are both playing representative for their companies, but Snake's in because Sakurai and Kojima are buddies. If time wasn't an issue Snake would've been in Melee, and unless the two suddenly really hate each other I think the same holds true for 4.
Honestly, the Palutena leak doesn't look any more different to me than all the other leaks, and is just as iffy with me. That said, having seen Uprising's story mode I can see how she could be made playable, and understand why a lot of people would want her in. Besides, Palutena makes more sense than freaking Dark Pit.
Plus Rosalina does fight... in Super Mario 3 D World. Though the decision to include her was likely made independently of her inclusion in World.
Note that most people consider the Palutena leak legit because if it was fake, then that would mean someone made a new model, a new Battlefield perspective, and a bunch of other details. It's easier to believe the leak is legit.
I'm personally hoping the leak is legit. Otherwise, damn, the shopper's got some skills.
And I'm not getting into the topic of Rosalina. Nope, not this time.

I'm still doubting the Palutena leak.
Not that I find Palutena's inclusion unlikely, but I don't believe the leak is legitimate.
