:We shouldn't have to prove the videos are false- they have to prove that they're true by virtue of their own improbable claims. The burden of proof lies with the leaker, not the editors of the wiki. The policy is too soft on videos right now- an unauthorized video should be verified by at least one additional independent source before being considered to be truthful, or at least get the same amount of scrutiny as a screenshot. So far, there is no piece of evidence (official or not) that can determine if the supposed newcomers will even be in the game, and I would prefer to assume it's false and add them back in later than assume they're true and damage the wiki's credibility. If nothing else, the leaked characters should be put in an "unconfirmed" section, inasmuch as they have not in fact been confirmed yet. --[[Special:Contributions/108.31.78.204|108.31.78.204]] 22:25, 25 August 2014 (EDT) | :We shouldn't have to prove the videos are false- they have to prove that they're true by virtue of their own improbable claims.

::Exactly. In fact, I'm hoping for tomorrow's pic of the day to disprove something in the video. Maybe make Bowser Jr. an assist trophy? And someone's definately in trouble. Do you know what could happen if someone within Nintendo or ESRB leaks something without the boss's permission? They can make last minute changes.
