This is a thing I saw on a website. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/20014232/ It calls the games Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and shows us Kraid's Lair as a theme. Notable enough? [[User:Bug Man Stan|Bug Man Stan]] ([[User talk:Bug Man Stan|talk]]) 13:17, 15 April 2014 (EDT) | |||
:It ain't notable. Fan remixes for stage music is absurdly common, so it becomes absurdly difficult to tell if it's a legit leak or not.

==Leaked Roster Photo== | |||
There is a leaked roster photo and while I don't believe it, it does fit the criteria of gaining a lot of attention. Here is one of MANY links http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/21473/article/rumor-super-smash-bros-4-roster-revealed/. | |||
--[[User:Mr.Santana Lopez|Mr.Santana Lopez]] ([[User talk:Mr.Santana Lopez|talk]]) 16:56, 22 April 2014 (EDT) | |||
There was a post (where I can't find the link) about that Chrom from Fire Emblem: Awakening, Palutena from Kid Icarus, Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles, Choir Boys from Rhythm Beat, and Pac Man are going to be in the game. This is from the same source (who I've surprised wasn't mentioned on this page already) that leaked that the E3 reveals would be Mega Man, Wii Fit Trainer, Animal Crossing Villager, Pac Man, Little Mac, and Mii (this should be called the 4 of 6 rumor if it will decide to be added). This leak has been getting a lot of attention. | |||

:Well, that screenshot is very convincing. The unconfirmed characters have new artwork that has never been seen before. Snake who was the one I find the most unlikely to return isn't there. The all the confirmed characters, including the most recent ones use the Smash 4 artwork. However, Chrom is the only unconfirmed newcomer on this roster. While Sakurai stated there will be three third-party characters, only two are there: {{SSB4|Mega Man}} and {{SSB4|Sonic}}. Snake, Lucas, Ike, Wolf, Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, Ivysaur and R.O.B. were cut. Previously rumored newcomers like Pac-Man and Palutena isn't on here, and the Newcomer I want the most, Tails, didn't make it either. However, there is still a chance that it could be fake. Sakurai didn't confirm everyone yet. And he stated he had problems with the Ice Climbers on the 3DS. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 10:23, 23 April 2014 (EDT) | |||
:Instant fake, Wario's image is his dash turn from Brawl, and I know I've seen that Ganondorf from somewhere. I don't think this is any more notable than any other fake character screen.

::Additionally, the Ness image is that already-provened-faked "leaked art" reversed, not to mention the art of the yet-to-be-revealed characters is distinctly worse than the actual character art (and of course, there's no way Smash 4 would have the same amount of characters Brawl had and Chrom would be the only newcomer we haven't seen yet). <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 10:34, 23 April 2014 (EDT) | |||
:Well, I still have my fingers crossed for Tails. Though I have a good idea of how Pac-Man's series symbol would look. Maybe despite stating only three third-party characters, he might add Tails as a bonus for Sonic and still have Pac-Man? Argh, this isn't the place to speculate! But I guess you're right. Why would Chrom be the only newcomer? Why cut Wolf? They couldn't have Krystal? What about Palutena? She was in a very convincing leak and Sakurai posted a couple of Kid Icarus screenshots after the leak, yet she is not in the roster. There are some characters I'd want and they're not in the roster. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 10:55, 23 April 2014 (EDT) | |||
::Take a look at [[SW:TALK]], Wheeler. Anyway, the biggest red flag for this fake is the use of Ganondorf's official Twilight Princess artwork instead of even trying to use "new" art.

:::Just to clarify, Chrom's artwork in the leak is concept art from Awakening, and Ganondorf's is just his render from Twilight Princess (i.e., the one where he's standing upright, hands on the hilt of his sword, tip touching the ground). That said, Ness' artwork isn't the fake one (at least, if we're talking about the same artwork; his arms are in different positions that aren't the result of simply reversing the image), but Chrom's and Ganon's alone are enough to discredit the image. That, and this would be the first Smash game ever not to have the character select portraits zoomed in on the characters' faces.

:Farcical response: It's notable because absolutely [http://www.destructoid.com/site-tries-to-reveal-nester-for-smash-bros-nobody-falls-for-it-272664.phtml no one fell for it]. You have to try for that to happen. | |||
:Real response: I see no reason why it would be considered notable. It offers nothing new over the previous rumors; arguably the only notable part is that it featured a URL similar to the official site's, and even then, that is already technically covered under the Wii Want More rumor. | |||

::Yes, while pretty much no one fell for this, I do think that it is notable enough to put here. Here are my reasons: | |||
::1. It was covered by ''tons'' of websites. There were dozens of famous gaming sites that had an article on this. | |||
::2. It was the first SSB4 rumor to have a website that looked like the real thing. <span style="font-family:AR JULIAN; font-size:12pt">[[User:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Chuck</span>]][[User talk:ChuckNorris24|<span style="color:brown">Norris</span>]]</span>[[File:24.png|23px]] 23:20, 5 May 2014 (EDT) | |||

::::It may be true that the joke did appear on multiple sites, but effectively none of them made speculation about whether or not it was real. Examples: "[http://news.cheatcc.com/393432 Nester Prank Fools Smash Fans a Day Before April Fools]"; "[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/04/01/nester-joins-super-smash-bros-roster-april-fools-day.aspx Nester Joins Super Smash Bros.

For comparison, the "Namco Employee" rumor had serious discussion over whether or not it was legitimate. Examples: "[http://www.mindofthegeek.com/2013/01/28/super-smash-bros-4-rumors-and-speculation/ Super Smash Bros. 4: Rumors and Speculation]"; "[http://www.zeldainformer.com/news/namco-worker-shares-smash-4-rumors-ghirahim-and-ridley-playable-nintendo-di#.U2kp8nbRYsS “Namco Worker” Shares Smash 4 Rumors: Ghirahim and Ridley Playable, Nintendo Direct on January 31]"; "[http://www.latinospost.com/articles/9276/20130109/wii-u-super-smash-bros-4-rumors.htm Wii U Super Smash Bros. 4 Rumors, Spoilers: Game To Be Previewed Jan. 31? New Characters Include King K. Rool, Ridley, Little Mac, Takamaru?]". In this case, coverage means nothing; if everyone knows of it as a joke, is it really a rumor, let alone a notable one? | |||
::::The point about the page looking similar to the official site is also something that has already been done before.

==Nester Leak== | |||
As some of you may recall, the SmashWiki got hacked on April 1st just this year. Along with that, there was a link to a fake character reveal, the reveal being of Nester, the old Nintendo Power mascot (if you give me some time, I can find it). I had put up a little section on this page about the leak, but it got taken down. I don't get why a plain old theory is allowed (see the Trophy Quizzes section in the actual article), but not an actual leak. I am not meaning to sound like a dick here, but I'm just trying to figure out something, and hopefully let others know about the AFD Nester leak. The question is, is this a good idea? If it is not (and you give me a good enough reason why), then hopefully, I will understand. Again, not trying to sound/act like a dick here.

::That argument is pretty ridiculous. It's not just SmashWiki, as I saw it on multiple websites the day before April Fools. I'll see if I can find the posts about it. [[User:Nutta Butta|Nutta Butta]] ([[User talk:Nutta Butta|talk]]) 18:17, 12 July 2014 (EDT) | |||
:::While it was very quickly recognized as a gag, it was indeed very widespread (even if just as being ridiculous). I believe it deserves a mention ''somewhere''. [[User:Nutta Butta|Nutta Butta]] ([[User talk:Nutta Butta|talk]]) 18:22, 12 July 2014 (EDT) | |||
::::Obvious April Fools' pranks do not really qualify as "rumour"s. The Sonic/Tails rumour in Melee is the exception, not because it wasn't obvious, but because it lasted in the public consciousness beyond its initial apperance. I seem to recall people talking about the Sonic/Tails rumour for months and even years after the fact, while I don't see the Nester thing anywhere nowadays. It was a flash in the pan.

Should I change it to have "ended" or something to that effect? Because whether or not the first leak was true, the second (Chrom), third (roster finalization), and fourth (Shulk revealed today) were all confirmed as false. Putting it as "ended" also includes that the first leak has been completely confirmed as false. Until he sends another email, all of the leaks have been resolved- #1 is right, #2-4 are wrong.

:I specifically went for the neutral phrasing that at least the later emails are inaccurate/false due to Chrom's deconfirmation. It's unclear if any were accurate at this time, so I've left it open-ended. I personally believe it was a set of lucky guesses which finally missed, but it's subjective for now.

== Move to "List of rumors and leaks" == | |||
I dunno about you guys, but if we cover many rumors, as well as plenty of supposed leaks, we should probably change the title of this page to "List of rumors and leaks." [[User:Bug Man Stan|Stan the Man]] ([[User talk:Bug Man Stan|talk]]) 13:50, 6 August 2014 (EDT) | |||

The trophy quiz hint thingy says Ghirahim is the most often speculated, but I've seen hundreds of Tetra speculations, that it will (or may) be Tetra from Wind Waker. [[Special:Contributions/72.105.6.36|72.105.6.36]] 11:27, 9 August 2014 (EDT) | |||

== The Ninka/Vaanrose "Leak" from SmashBoards.com == | |||
I was tempted to add this supposed "leak", but I thought it would be more appropriate to run it by here first. While it is not exactly popular, the individuals from SmashBoards who initially provided this information are regarded as trusted and reliable sources, who are unlikely to just make things up. The fact that they felt it was important enough to share is noteworthy. This information is usually not accessible for those who don't have a SmashBoards account. Recently, however, the information has been restricted to the more senior members of SmashBoards and for that reason I no longer have full access to it. The amount of secrecy about this information is very interesting, and while it is not widely acknowledged I think it's significant enough to create a section for here, but what do you guys think? I managed to snap a shot of the information. Please do not immediately disregard the information because the pictures are from Project M; the text on the image will explain that.--[[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 18:21, 19 August 2014 (EDT) | |||
:OK: '''Do not put pictures on talk pages'''. They take up unnecessary space, even more so in this pic's case, and can be handled by an internal link (<nowiki>[[:File:Name]]; notice the extra colon before 'file')</nowiki>. About the leak itself: What exactly is this supposed to leak? You never explained that. I can't read the text there, and I think you should give us an external link to the thread so we can see what this actually is. <font face="sand">''[[User:Qwerty|<font color="black">Qw</font><font color="003F3F">er</font><font color="005F5F">ty</font>]] ''[[User talk:Qwerty|<font color="005F6F">(t</font><font color="003C6F">al</font><font color="000F7F">k)</font>]]</font> 18:58, 19 August 2014 (EDT) | |||
::I can provide a link to the thread, but individuals who do not have a SmashBoards account cannot view the information, and the thread has now been locked so that only senior members can view the information anyways. http://smashboards.com/threads/the-ninka-vaanrose-leak-discussion-theory.362684 The purpose of the image is that if you select it, and go to its file, it's large enough for you to read it's contents. It was the only way for me to provide the information without quoting it myself because I didn't think I'd be believed if I was to just spread the information from it. The leak adds details on certain palette swaps, and more importantly it claims to provide information on newcomers and character cuts from ''Brawl''. --[[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 20:17, 19 August 2014 (EDT) | |||
