This page has gotten out of hand and turned into a giant bloated monstrosity, so all entries on this page were removed that were actual leaks (and thus belong on the leaks page), weren't exceptionally notable rumors, have information that belongs on other pages, or were just poorly constructed and did not properly covered what rumor they were supposedly about. If you disagree with any of the removals, do not add them back without discussion first.) |

Among the claims were several characters being planned for inclusion, which were: [[King Dedede]] being the character next inline for inclusion if Sakurai could not receive permission from [[Intelligent Systems]] to use {{SSBM|Marth}}, as well as being considered for inclusion in the place of the six [[clone]]s; that Sakurai considered a [[Pokémon Trainer]] character using the second generation starter Pokémon, but there wasn't enought time and resources for such a labor intensive character; [[Wario]] was briefly considered as the {{SSBM|Mario}} clone, with low speed and high attack power, but Sakurai felt that Wario deserved better; [[Wolf]] was initially slotted as {{SSBM|Fox}}'s clone, but Sakurai felt he would be perceived as "a grey-colored Fox", so he went with {{SSBM|Falco}} for his drastically different appearance; and Leif from ''Fire Emblem: Thracia 776'' was initially slotted as Marth's clone, but after Intelligent Systems gave Sakurai a preview of the upcoming ''Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade'', he thought Roy would be a better fit, with his fire properties making him stand out.<ref>https://www.neogaf.com/threads/next-super-smash-bros-discussion-thread-community-edition.448761/page-151#post-37915502</ref> While cednym provided no evidence for these claims being legitimate, these claims would proliferate within the ''Smash'' community as accepted information about ''Melee''{{'}}s development for several years after. In 2016, [[Source Gaming]] would attempt to find these old Famitsu translations or any other information to back up these claims, in their endeavor to chronicle all characters that were ever planned or seriously considered for inclusion in any ''Smash'' game for their "''The Definitive List of Unused Fighters in Smash''" article. However, they could not find anything that corroborated cednym's claims, in fact they would only find information that contradicted it, such as Sakurai confirming that Wario was the character new inline for inclusion, not King Dedede, as well as Sakurai confirming that he wouldn't have been able to add a single unique newcomer in the place of the six clones. Eventually, {{Sm|PushDustin}}, the admin of Source Gaming at the time, would contact cednym for verification of these claims, where he would admit that his post was entirely falsified.<ref>https://sourcegaming.info/2016/04/29/duflupdate/</ref> | ||
