The '''Gematsu leaks''' were a series of | The '''Gematsu leaks''' were a series of major and seemingly credible [[leak]]s of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''{{'}}s playable roster reported by Sal Romano of the gaming site [http://gematsu.com/ Gematsu] after being given information from an anonymous tipster. Starting from the initial [[E3 2013]] reveal trailer, they subsequently correctly predicted the coming newcomers without getting any definitively wrong, for over a year, before they were disproven. The leaks' seeming infallibility attracted considerable attention, being covered by news sites, and dominated ''Smash 4'' roster discussion and speculation for the year they remained alive. However, while they identified many aspects of the games correctly, the leaks also had made multiple incorrect assumptions, such as predicting reveal dates wrong, predicting characters under general as opposed to specific names, and missing certain characters. This sparked considerable debate about the actual legitimacy of the leaks, though the leaker's previous track record kept the vast majority of observers believing them to be fully legitimate. | ||
