>>33239456>Anyone who had any sense of what official art looks like should've been able to tell immediately that Ballio was fake.that's literally what people were saying about the real leaks before Mallow. also apparently not since it got a lot of traction as a leak, but I guess you can't understand that with your hindsight blinding you
>Because it may not actually be a fake. I don't know about you but I'd rather not assume things that flat out aren't true.I can do this magical thing called "changing my opinion" when evidence surfaces that support a leak being real. what a fucking concept
>No. I KNOW they're fake because the artwork is wrong.again, people were saying this about the real leaks themselves
>Not true. There were threads with legitimate arguments about it being real before then because of the artwork, Japanese, and Popplio's concept matching with what was revealed at E3.people thought the artwork was shoddy, mainly because of balloon fingers and shitty anatomy on the own. anyone can toss random Japanese onto an image, and Poppolio's concept matching is pure speculation that can be applied to literally every fake Poppolio starter.
>Not unless there was a reason within the text to assume it's fake. And there usually is.but there would be no actual evidence to back up his line of thinking that it was fake like you said :v)
joe's problem wasn't that he called them obviously fake at first. sure its as asshole way of saying it, but that alone isnt enough. its the fact that he kept acting like an ass about the leaks and stuck to them being fake long after it became clear they were real
