On December 7th, 2019, Vergeben made a [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78233689?jumpto=52#52 post] that he will try to check if the final fighters pass character is owned by HAL Laboratory, Game Freak, Intelligent Systems, SNK, or Atlus. [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78235954 A different post] Vergeben made later on the same day clarified that the list of companies he had listed the day before was incorrect, and it was only characters he had listed beside the companies' names that were disconfirmed. Characters removed from the running for Fighters Pass spot 5 by this were Arle Nadja from ''Puyo Puyo'', Sakura from ''Sakura Wars'', Crash Bandicoot from his self-titled series, Tracer from ''Overwatch'', and Reimu Hakurei from ''Touhou''. Kat from ''Gravity Rush'' was also disconfirmed as an aside, while the companies that were disconfirmed on December 6th were no longer disconfirmed. The second list of the post did not mention the disconfirmation of an Assist Trophy or Spirit being promoted like the first list did, though it is unknown if this is significant or an error. On December 8th, 2019, he made another [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78235954/931304870 post] saying that the character is not Sora, Sol Badguy, Ragna, Billy and Jimmy Lee from Double Dragon, Dante, Phoenix Wright, Amaterasu, Monster Hunter, Sam Porter Bridges, Geralt of Rivia, Monokuma, or Kratos. Interestingly, in the same post Vergeben mentions that when asking about KOS-MOS from ''Xenosaga'', his informant responded with a "not sure" about her. | On December 7th, 2019, Vergeben made a [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78233689?jumpto=52#52 post] that he will try to check if the final fighters pass character is owned by HAL Laboratory, Game Freak, Intelligent Systems, SNK, or Atlus.

Interestingly, in the same post Vergeben mentions that when asking about KOS-MOS from ''Xenosaga'', his informant responded with a "not sure" about her. However, the informant had debunked a Bandai Namco rep beforehand, which could mean that their answer was a result of them thinking KOS-MOS was a Monolith Soft character and not one owned by Bandai Namco. | ||
