User blog:SketchFalcon/On the Legitimacy of the Leaks

I normally don't post two blogs in one day, but seeing the comments for my previous blog made me want to write this.

So, as everybody basically knows, someone released a set of leaks on SSB4. This included a video, pictures, and text. We got proof a few days later that the leaks were at least somewhat legit: Shulk. But are the leaks completely true? Well, let's look on this matter.

I'll start off with the video. This is the one leak that I actually have some faith in. It would take a very skilled animator or video editor to make a fake video like that, and I'm pretty sure if it was an animator or video editor, someone would probably have noticed a flaw in the video. The video accurately captures Smash mechanics, and it would take an (evil) genius to make a fake of that. Plus, Shulk was part of the video, and look where he is now.

As for the pictures and text, a little less faith. I'm saying this because it takes a lot less effort to make a fake roster and pass it off as real than to do the same with a video. Anyone who has made a fake roster knows this. Sure, the people who leaked this are the same ones who leaked the video, but even if it is actually from Smash, who says it's the final roster? I know Smash Bros. 3DS comes out in exactly! a month, but Sakurai and crew could easily make changes. I don't really care if the photo leaks turn out to true, but I am not trusting mere pictures easily. And the text? Don't make me laugh.

In short, I take only one of these leaks seriously. This is just my opinion, and I don't expect any of you to agree with me. You can go ahead and comment on my other blog that what I did was unnecessary, but I won't really care. But before you say "Oh the leaks disprove it", just consider how truly legitimate they are. Some of you may consider it as real as the sun rising, but for me, I place my trust in Mr. Sakurai and Sakurai only. Thank you for your time.
