So from this leak, it seems that Palutena may be a playable character in the new Smash game.

NeoGAF

Looking at this NeoGAF post, there is some strong evidence that this could be the real deal. Palutena would be a cool new character.

More likely some kind of summon, surely?

hmmmmm shes right upin there? with character capture camera?

I really hope she is an actual character and not an assist trophy, definitely the new character I'd like to see most in Smash Bros WiiU/3DS.

Sure, that'd be cool. She was a funny if somewhat standard comedy anime character in Uprising.

She was a part of Pit's final smah in Brawl, so if she's in the game I expect his final smah to be replaced by that mecha armor or something.

I dunno, to me those pictures are pretty clearly real......Then again, I guess there have been some pretty real looking " leaks " before that turned out to be some dumb fan made thing.

Looks like some kind of cutout story-scene thing similar to what a JRPG would do. Could also be a parody of the cutscenes in Kid Icarus.

shes more likely going to be a assist trophy although it would help with the problem of a male dominated roster

Looks like a trophy.

If they were going to add in another playable character from Kid Icarus Uprising, I'd rather have Medusa or Viridi or Phosphora. Granted Medusa and Viridi are giant, so that might not be in the cards.
