The animation itself is enough proof only a professional can make a model like that.

Again, how can you judge the animation by a picture?

I think he means the pose and the model

Hm, I understand. But even them, that doesn't mean anything. Anyone can have the skills to make a believable leak. You can't believe how far people have gone to create a fake leak and get some attention.

The game came out in 3 consoles that support modding, please don't assume. I CAN be real, it CAN be a hack job and look really weird; it can also be someone slapping model parts together to match up with the 4chan leak.

I know what you mean, but this would have had to been by a developer for this to be fake

I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic. I kinda got used to never believe a leak, as legit as it seems. Sorry to sound like a party pooper, but... You never know. Maybe it's fake.

Again, anyone can have the skills to do it. Many people mod games and do professional-looking models from the scratch. It's not exactly hard as long as you know a bit. This can very well be fake as much as it can be true. Normal people can do that very well, not just developers.

...Dude. No.



This is something a developer didn't do. ANYONE nowadays can research modding on X360/WiiU/PS3 and get something going by messing with existing assets, if not put some in themselves from another game or made by fans in a PC version.
You guys are way too naive, isn't this the computer age where you can see this stuff on social media all the time?

........

Oh cool, you showed me a fan-made level
But this has nothing to do with levels

I do understand that this might be fake, but it looks a bit to realistic to be fake

Don't play silly. This is something modded. It's super realsitic, it works within the game, UI and all, but it's all models and assets of a previous generation touched up by a fan. It doesn't matter if it's a level, it's 100% "fake" and added by someone who's not the developer. Imagine a tiny ugly model like Krakatoa there? For a regular modder that ought to be easy if they get their crystal and alter parts of an Imaginator to resemble this.

Again, not saying it can't be true, but you guys can't be blind to all possibilities either.

You can mod character models too, ya know

I thought about putting the Yosuke Generations mod but then people would derail into asking who.

Yeah, Smash modding is.... BIG.



This used to be Brawl. Swearing and kid unfriendly warning.


either way it can be fake but even if it's real wow that's an ugly character but cool hat/head

So it doesn't have Master in front of its name like Senseis do - EDIT: They don't have that in-game, oops

It doesn't have Sensei under its name like Senseis do

It has its element and class under its name like Imaginators do

It's striking a pose that Fire Brawler Imaginators make - EDIT Apparently not, must've misread an earlier post

Yeah, not putting too much stock into this one. Too many red flags

1:forgot about that, although there is a chance he isn't a sensei but that's unlikley

2:Yeah

3:Nope, just looked it up not the fire brawler pose

There are some things saying it might be real, and some saying it isn't

I'm confused, I came home happy with this, and know I'm just back to alright mode

Oh well


Edit:I've decided to accept that this leak is fake, and move on. There are to many red flags, and unless something happens, nothing will change that

B-roll can be glitchy as heck, that is true though not a good thing. Giants still had textureless enemies in some of them ._.

Again, this is why I'm saying it can go either way. The hype feels good but don't let it get over your head.

You know, I think it being a mod is kinda implying there's someone out there who would care enough to hack the game to make a mock-up model.

I mean, I know there's obviously people who do care about this game, but... There's not exactly a hot modding scene for it.

oh


Oh


OH

OH HOT MAMA IT'S HERE

I CAN'T

Now since it's basically confirmed we're getting new Senseis, I have some wishes for the remaining Elements and Classes.

• FEMALE TECH!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THIS ELEMENT NEEDS ONE! GERASHIFT WAS A RARE GIFT AND IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER ONE! CLASSES I COULD SEE ARE EITHER KNIGHT, NINJA OR EVEN BAZOOKER!
  
• Female Magic. All of the Magic ladies are in my top 5 for their resepctive game and I would love a Quickshot along the lines of Tidepool.
  
• Earth Ninja. This is a very unlikely combination but I think it would make for a pretty cool character.
  
• Water Sorcerer/Swashbuckler. Sorcerer because I always wanted a character that uses hydrokenisis (of course not because I love Lapis) and Swashbuckler because it basically belongs in Water and a potential mermaid character. (Marina, remember the name)
  
• Life/Air Bowslinger. This is more of a mainstream choice, but I think Bowslinger fits both of those Elements perfectly.
  
• #makeundeadgreatagain. This is my personal opinion, but all of the Undead Senseis are rather low on my list and Undead is one of my favorite Elements and the characters usually impress me a lot *cough Hex cough*.
  

Taking this with a huuuuuuuuuge grain of salt even though I'm confident in year 2
I'm sure he's just looking down
Fire brawler makes no sense but Crash didn't even have his theme play in his magic moment last E3
Hype as **** regardless

Deja Vu, we did have Sprocket as a female tech. That's it though. I agree with you on pretty much everything else. Although I found Chopscotch very fun.

Yeah, her and Gearshift. Of course it has some, but now it's the Element with the least amount of females so it's time for a new one.

THIS. SO. MUCH.
We had 0 news about the modding for Skylanders games (except "leaking" variants or the unfinished 3D model in the game, this is something that I can do too).
Why somebody would care about Skylanders? By making a new high-quality model for this game?
I mean, they "hate" this game for various reasons.
Also, the lighting and shadows are perfect on the character/background. It's an in-game 3D model for sure.

Thanks to both for basically writing down my thoughts.
I think it's very unlikely that someone took his/her time to create such a well done leak: not because it couldn't be done but precisely because no one has interest in Skylanders, outside of the fans and the haters.

And we might be looking at the king or queen of the haters, if he/she did all of this (inluding the Barbella image) only to piss us off.

Regarding the image itself, I noticed something interesting.
Imaginators and Senseis' magic moments are quite different: the former have little white sparkles all around and look darker at the edges (not sure if the darkened colors matche the Element though) while the latter look exactly like the one in the "leak".
I'd look at that instead of the class tag which is probably there because it's still unfinished, since they wouldn't have changed such an irrelevant detail, would they?

Also took a look at Tri-Tip, which is probably the most similar looking Sensei to Krakatoa: nope, his legs are much bulkier and big and he never makes a similar pose.
Not even the lava texture for Imaginators matches up with Krakatoa's.

I wonder if all year 2 senseis will be ditching the black gi and only keeping the belt. Kind of hope so, since it will allow for more variation. And it will give year 1 and year 2 senseis a clear visual distinction from one another.

I do see black and gold on Krakatoa.

If no one cares about the series, why post it in 4chan where even saying the name gets you dogpiled? Someone could be feeling like a jerk and trying to show how easy it is to fool the fanbase, like it was done to Smash again and again.

I think it'd be simplier if you took a look at this:

//forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=136571

Basically, we had quite a few weeks of nothing after that, and now the same guys posts a in-game image from a supposed b-roll Activision sent him, and that's what we've been discussing for the past couple hours.

Don't go on 4Chan. This is a PSA from ToyNerd

If the leak is legit, then here's my prediction for the roster:

10 Old Sensei as a Lightcore (1 per element)
10 New Sensei (1 per element)

I really want the rest of the Doom Raiders, but I doubt it at this point.

In all due respect...

DON'T JUST TELL US SHOW US WHERE

It's kind of cool that they're bringing Lightcores back, but do they really have to bring back the old Senseis that we've played as already? It's kind of too early to tell, but still.

Maybe they might rerelease old Senseis, but give them new attacks like the SuperCharger remodels? Or maybe some of the new Senseis will be Lightcore and they'll release more Villains? Wishful thinking, really.
