Later, another user made their own post with the previous user's photo modified to include never-before seen icons on top of unconfirmed veterans [[Jigglypuff]], [[Ness]], [[Dr. Mario]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], [[Wario]], and [[R.O.B.]], as well as four added to the end with [[Bowser Jr.]], [[Duck Hunt|the dog from Duck Hunt]], [[Dark Pit]], and [[Shulk]]. The [[Ice Climbers]], [[Lucas]], [[Solid Snake]], [[Pichu]], [[Roy]], [[Young Link]], [[Squirtle]], [[Ivysaur]], and [[Wolf]] all had red X's added to them, while [[Mewtwo]] interestingly had a ? put over its face, which, given that the leak seemed to originate from the ESRB, may have been included as speculation or to mislead readers, as many later parts of the leak would. | ||
In the same thread, a user by the name of Motherfucking Leaker<!--Despite the vulgarity of this name, do not censor it. SmashWiki is not censored.--> posted two more images. One showed the Duck Hunt dog and Ness's renders, also revealing a duck partner for the dog, while the other showed the entire roster. These two images were the subject of much debate, as several users were doubtful that the characters' names would not be present on their icons, as they were on [[:File:E3 Character select screen.png|the officially shown images of the roster]], and other users compared Ness's render to that of a [[:File:Ness SSB4 Hoax.png|previous rumored leak about his confirmation]], which had been proven false almost an entire year prior. | In the same thread, a user by the name of Motherfucking Leaker<!--Despite the vulgarity of this name, do not censor it.
