-Many fake leaks were spread around during the prerelease of ''SSB4''. The most prominent of these were the [[Gematsu leaks]], which had thousands of followers believing them in their entirety before they were proven partially inaccurate by the inclusion of {{SSB4|Robin}} and {{SSB4|Lucina}}, and disconfirmation of [[Chrom]] and eventually ''Rhythm Heaven'''s Chorus Kids, as playable characters. Other supposed leaks also proved popular, such as [[List of rumors#Palutena rumor|one showing Palutena as a playable character]] that the creator later admitted was a hoax.

 The largest ''SSB4'' leak was the ESRB leak, which, unlike the Gematsu leaks, had very few followers prior to video footage being posted and subsequently taken down by Nintendo due to copyright claims, followed by the official confirmation of {{SSB4|Shulk}}, who was implicated by the leaks. The leak managed to give away a number of playable characters, stages, modes, and trophies, and is one of the largest leaks, if not the largest leak, in ''Smash'' history.
