I'm still doubting the Palutena leak.

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

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.

I'm curious, why is Palutena seen as so likely? She's not even the most likely KI character in my opinion let alone the most likely character period.

Why isn't she likely?

I'm just saying that this is my opinion. I just don't see why Sakurai would go for a hero character that doesn't really fight instead of a villain character that does fight.

She's the most important character in Kid Icarus aside from Pit. Sure another villain would be nice, but Uprising pushed Medusa out of the spotlight heavily, while Palutena was around the whole game. Palutena is much more likely than Medusa.

From 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)

Plus Viridi is a stage element, and I doubt Alfonzo would have the capacity to pull double-duty for her.

[up][up]Medusa could work as a character if Hades is made into a boss.

Eh, I still don't see her as the most likely although I acknowledge there's a good chance she will make it. Part of this might be because I'd prefer Medusa so we have another villain though.

I keep forgetting that boss fight even exists because she's mind controlled during it. Palutena still doesn't strike me as much of a fighter though.

Sterok Since: Apr, 2012
#38112: Mar 13th 2014 at 3:20:10 PM

She's still fought more than Medusa, whether or not she's being controlled or if something is imitating her. And Rosalina isn't much of a fighter either, and look where she is.

She has?

edit: I didn't consider the Rosalina thing. In that case just ignore that part. I was wrong.

Don't get me wrong; I very much want Medusa instead myself. Just pointing out that Palutena does fight.

@Enlong: Spoiler. Major spoiler. Spoiler tag that.

Whereas we haven't been able to find a single bit of good evidence that the Palutena image is faked.
That's funny, since there is zero evidence in its favor either.

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.

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.

The Palutena "leak" definitely seems more feasible than the crudely-edited ones. I just find it still very unlikely that said leak is legit.

I 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.grin

Dark Pit doesn't fight much different from Pit anyway.

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.

Though I haven't seen her in action, I wouldn't mind Palutena at all.
