However, Shulk was not revealed as expected and claimed by the leaker. Instead, the ''Fire Emblem'' characters of {{SSB4|Lucina}} and {{SSB4|Robin}} were revealed as playable along with {{SSB4|Captain Falcon}}. The reveal went against the leaker; not only was a prediction brought forth proven completely wrong, but neither character were implicated by the leaks, and Chrom himself, after being first implicated in the second leak and again implicated in the third leak, was revealed to have a role in [[Robin's Final Smash]], disconfirming him as a playable character. While the leak had gotten reveal dates wrong and at times glossed over details or was overly vague, it never got a character completely wrong. Following this turn of events, dispute arose between observers as to whether the leaks were legitimate or not. Romano contacted the leaker for an explanation, but the leaker did not yet respond to the inquiry.<ref>http://gematsu.com/2014/07/robin-lucina-captain-falcon-playable-new-super-smash-bros#comment-1484346087</ref>
