Even though I don?t actually know anything about xenoblade, it seems like a fun character and I like the accent.
I still think it?s unlikely that the leak Is real, if one more leaked character turns out to be real the leak probably isn?t fake.
I honestly believe the leak at this point. It got the layout of a stage never seen before correct, it got part of another stage never seen before correct, it got a few menus never seen before correct, and the video portion has Shulk with the same model performing some of the same attacks with the same animations (I believe). All of that COULD be a coincidence, but frankly I doubt it at this point.
That said, parts of the leak are clearly fake. For example, the DLC list. The leaker admits to faking that part, it doesn't make sense with the rest of the leak, and its completely unsubstantiated as far as photo or video evidence. I think that trusting everything in the leak is foolish, but I'm almost certain the leak is based on some amount of truth, especially with Nintendo pulling all the videos. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it as I thought the leaks were ridiculous and fake when they first came out (ganondorf's picture being all weirdly shadowed and the bizarre character still makes no sense to me, but maybe that'll be fixed a bit upon release, moving boxes isn't hard)
OT:I don't know Xenoblade or Shulk well, but he seems unique with his stat changes. I am a little disappointed that shulk is another swordsman with a down B counter, but counters actually make a lot of sense given what little I know about him. Still, he seems different enough from the Fire Emblem characters, and is stylistically very different, so I'm happy to see him in.
