If Nintendo reveals a SE character, but it isn't the one the leak said "might" be in, would it be considered debunked or not?

:It would probably stay here, mentioning that the leak was technically correct but may have been a lucky guess. Most of these leaks predict other things, too, so if those came true more directly, then it would be a safe bet that the leak was legitimate.

== Removal of certain rumors == | |||
I've had this discussion on the Discord server and several people seemed to agree, but it'd of course be wrong to not bring it up here. So here are the rumors I think we should remove and the reasons why: | |||
===Brawl=== | |||
{|class="wikitable collapsible uncollapsed" style="text-align:center" | |||
!Rumor!!Reason | |||
|- | |||
|Radio interview rumor||Looking back at it (and I could be wrong), this rumor didn't seem that widespread to begin with and the idea of Sakurai releasing info in a radio interview doesn't seem very plausible. | |||
|- | |||
|Brawl is the last game rumor||Pretty sure we have confirmation from Sakurai that every Smash game is developed as if it was the last one. It seems to just be game development philosophy that they practice. | |||
|} | |||
===Smash 4=== | |||
{|class="wikitable collapsible uncollapsed" style="text-align:center" | |||
!Rumor!!Reason | |||
|- | |||
|Lucina hoax||Not very widespread outside of AllisBrawl. Not that I'm discounting the popularity of AiB, but I don't think we should keep localized rumors here. | |||
|} | |||
===Ultimate=== | |||
{|class="wikitable collapsible uncollapsed" style="text-align:center" | |||
!Rumor!!Reason | |||
|- | |||
|Richter/Gardevoir/Gothitelle leak||Again, not too widespread outside of maybe GameFAQs. There is one video that received around 40k views, but these are a dime a dozen with literally any leak and the thirsty and oblivious portion of the Smash community. | |||
|- | |||
|LaPailleDor Leaks||Relatively obscure leak outside of Smashboards. Was disproven a little bit less than a month later. | |||
|- | |||
|Nintenderos Placeholder Rumor||Also relatively obscure leak. Also simply theory crafting about a strange occurrence on the website. The Kirby and Kid Icarus instances also contradicted the main theory anyways. | |||
|- | |||
|Nintendo Event at Arcade MTL||Same situation as Nintenderos. People assumed that a big reveal (or watch party) would occur at a random arcade in Montreal. There was no basis to this rumor other than wishful thinking. | |||
|} | |||
So yeah, I'd appreciate hearing some thoughts and opinions on this. [[User:Pokebub|Pokebub]] ([[User talk:Pokebub|talk]]) 20:44, 4 January 2019 (EST) | |||
