Remember when Sakurai hit Pacman in the clouds of the Greninja trailer?
Is it Kazooie?
HOLY SHIT IS THAT PIDGEOTTO??
This season is going to end in a direct conflict between Super Saiyan Blue Leak vs Final Form Sakurai
it's gonna end up with someone doing that and I honestly rather not
I scared them away with my take on the Grinch.
Glad there's actual proof it's fake now instead of "just trust us on this" nonsense.
It honestly looks like a hand doing a shadow puppet dog on a white backgroundhttps://www.resetera.com/posts/14173065/

That post was about three or four plot twists ago. We are on to APC now.
That chorus kids art is magical. It's a big reason why I'm struggling to doubt this. And the conductor being part of the smash 4 trophy? Wow.

Meant nothing.
Guy works at a company that's basically next door and fits even more with the leak funnily enough
I would rather not too, but this is the internet and he screwed the pooch on hiding his identity. Or if we're going super conspiracy someone faked being him, at which point, he may wanna get ahead of this a bit.
It doesn't prove anything, we knew that he wasn't working at Marina for a long time.
Okay so I took the E3 empty battlefield picture posted by Mipmap like 20 pages back and did some quick blurring and adjustments to try and get it to look a bit more like the leaked photo, to see if the inconsistencies were a matter of blurriness or they were actually definitively different.
Here's the original:
Here's my blur edited one:
Here's the one from the leak (I couldn't find one of it by itself but it's obviously the middle of these three images):

This doesn't say anything conclusive, at least to me, but I think it's an interesting comparison to look at. In mine you can still easily see the castle on the waterfall but not on the leaker's. You do lose plenty of other details though.
Food for thought.

Last sentence is iffy. ACP doesn't have any connection to either Bandai Namco, Nintendo, Illumination or Universal so it fits a little less actually.
Absolutely. I love love love Rhythm Heaven and I never even considered the conductor when imagining movesets.... yet it makes so much sense! If this is fake, this faker is brilliant
Here's how I play Smash;
Select Kirby
Suck someone up
Jump off the stage
Wow that guy got hammered for that post lol, PSA everyone please do the reading before raising your hand.
Oh. I wrote the response two hours ago before going to work and just got around to posting it.
These developments are hilarious.
Anyway, the last time I've seen threads getting so crazy they were opened by an old dear frienemy of NintendoEra.
Are ResetGreyWolf and Phantom Thief the same person?

See you don't say Smash 5 because that demeans the value of 4. You say 4 again.

Can I interest you in some colored chairs?
Alright, let's do a comprehensive post about this. Let's call it "why might this background have been faked?"
If you want to read a more comprehensive take on all the background differences that can't be chalked up to simple "detail lost in the blur", refer to this post. But for the sake of keeping things simple, the most suspicious portion is the leftmost square where the direct feed background shows that there is supposed to be a big island there. This one's the easiest sticking point because in every mural art we've seen, that portion of the background is always covered by Bowser. By glancing on the full mural you'd notice that the waterfall has a sort of curvature. The "leaked" background completely removes the island however, and with the way the waterfall is structured, it's pretty clear that this was painted over. The easy conclusion to come from this is that it was painted by someone who had no idea how the background actually looked like when it was covered. Up until yesterday people dismissed the background itself as evidence until it turns out the background actually was available at E3. This is when most holes started popping up and for now that stands in favor of #TeamFake, as it hasn't been debunked yet.
This point was contingent on the notion that the background hadn't changed since E3 however, and an argument that was proposed in favor of #TeamReal by Rotobit was that visible structure near Zelda is seemingly not visible in the full E3 banner that was provided by people. This brought up the idea that the background might have changed. However, that's a tenuous supposition because
1) the topmost image that Rotobit used was from a later Nintendo Direct, and yet that same structure can still be seen in the E3 Direct. It's safe to say most materials pertaining to Smash and E3 were ostensibly the same.
2) the castle never actually went anywhere, it just looked less visible because of the image's quality and general overexposure.
A closer look at a clearer image that was taken from the Treehouse shows that those pillars are still intact in the distance; they're just less visible on account of the brightness and circumstances of a shot (video recording of a monitor).
So right now, the only leg people who believe this leak have to stand on in regards to the actual content is the question of whether the background itself changed. So far, no evidence points to that, and it doesn't make a lot of sense given how most of it is already obscured to begin with, which means changing it "so it doesn't clash" is a bit of a nonsensical argument.
