== Re Monsieur Crow ==
First off, welcome back. Second, I suggest we have Lucina, Falco, Pac-Man and Palutena share a section, so like Leaked(?) Characters. [[User:RoyboyX|<font color="red">'''Roy'''</font><font color="gray">'''boy'''</font><font color="darkred">'''X'''</font>]] [[User talk:RoyboyX|''<span style="color:brown;">'''Talk'''</span>'']] 18:29, 8 February 2014 (EST)
:I see you, RoyboyX.
:My main concern with the article isn't that the article is becoming disorganised (on the contrary, I'd argue that a game-by-game model is probably the neatest we can accomplish), but rather, that the article is going to become too SSB4-heavy; the section already contains nine different rumours while the game is still in development, whereas in the eight years since ''Brawl's'' announcement, we also have nine. In the coming months, there's obviously going to be even more rumours, making things only more chaotic in the section.
:I'm thinking that we might have to find a way to distinguish between "notable" and "non-notable" rumours, but I can't think of a way to do so that would prevent this article from either shrinking or doing nothing. I considered splitting this article much like our old [[Beta elements]] article, but the 64 and Melee sections would have too little to stand on their own in that regard.
:That's all.

== NeoGAF Leak ==
On January 15th, 2014, a leak was posted consisting information such as Chrom, Ridley, and Pac Man's inclusion and other info. Should we have that? Here is the link incase anybody wants to see it.

== Ganondorf's voice ==

== Voice Actors ==
Not confirming anything 100% but according to IMDb, a list of voice actors have been unveiled. Such as Jim Walker as Fox, Antony Del Rio (Kid Icarus: Uprising) as Pit, Jessica Martin as Samus Aran, etc. Should we confirm this or something among those lines?
PS: In Sonic's SSB4 trailer, I hear Roger Craig Smith's voice.
:"''IMDB, however, allows anyone to contribute content''"
:And see what I said above regarding stuff listed on Wikis.

== Regarding a rumor proven true kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk ==
This is directed to Monsieur Crow, and only Monsieur Crow. You know that Lucas and Ness thing? Well, that was actually not very wide-spread, and then proven true. I think that this "rumor" isn't worth enough to mention here. I think it would make more sense to, instead, mention this on Ness' Melee page and Lucas' character page. [[Special:Contributions/75.141.44.196|75.141.44.196]] 16:07, 14 March 2014 (EDT)
:If memory serves, [[User:Omega Tyrant|this guy]] worked on the bulk of that section, with me only making a few grammatical edits (if any at all). That said, I believe the rumour began its spread with the reveal of Lucas in ''Brawl'', and it has seen some revival due to speculation over ''SSB4's'' unrevealed roster, thus making this a notable rumour. Also, the fact that the rumour was eventually proven true doesn't change the fact that it started as a rumour.
:Outside of this, [[Lucas]]'s page on the Wiki already mentions the rumour, but [[Ness]]'s doesn't. I see no problems with including this bit on the aforementioned page, though. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Be_bold Be bold].

==Black Mage==
There's a rumor going around that a Black Mage screenshot has been leaked. It is a fake to me. Here's where the rumor began. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiIC6FDy2fU. Also, I've found some "leaked" screenshots about Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles and Mewtwo. --[[User:Mr.Santana Lopez|Mr.Santana Lopez]] ([[User talk:Mr.Santana Lopez|talk]]) 09:50, 18 March 2014 (EDT)
:While it is interesting to see the variety of faked character reveal images, none of your aforementioned rumours have significant enough spread to warrant mentioning on this article. In general, we want to see some significant spread for rumours (i.e. appearances in notable newssites, significant discussion on forums like [[SmashBoards]], etc.) before they're placed on the page; alternatively, they could have some form of "uniqueness" that helps them be diffrentiated from other rumours (such as the Lucina hoax, which showed that ''Brawl'' hacks can be used to manufacture rumours).
:That's all.

== "E-Reader Leak" ==
Apparently someone "leaked" a bonus disc along with E-Reader cards that were supposed to unlock new characters. These cards were "meant to appear" at some sort of con Nintendo was going to. The character that was "unlocked" was Leon Kennedy. However, some SmashBoards users appear to have debunked it, but this isn't completely understood. Should this be in the main article or should we wait a little longer and see what happens? Link: http://smashboards.com/threads/super-smash-bros-4-wii-u-3ds-topic-2-0.347937/page-248 [[Special:Contributions/24.99.96.92|24.99.96.92]] 08:16, 26 March 2014 (EDT)
:While this is an interesting rumor, it doesn't seem to have any notable spread associated with it, especially since the discussion about it seems to peter out at the end of the page it's posted on.
:If it starts making it rounds on other sites like AiB or is even covered by gaming websites, however, those could be grounds to include it on the article.

==Super Smash Bros. 6 Rumor==
Before the SSB4 Direct aired, a rumor surrounded Namco Bandai that they were hiring developers for Super Smash Bros. 6 (that is set for a release in 2015). What do you guys think?
--[[User:Mr.Santana Lopez|Mr.Santana Lopez]] ([[User talk:Mr.Santana Lopez|talk]]) 19:12, 9 April 2014 (EDT)
Sounds like nonsense to me. This is the fourth iteration of Smash Bros., not the fifth. Why bother calling it Super Smash Bros. 6? --[[User:EpicWendigo|EpicWendigo]] ([[User talk:EpicWendigo|talk]]) 19:18, 9 April 2014 (EDT)
::Sakurai has called these games the "fourth and fifth" iterations of Smash Bros on multiple occassion. Still, I doubt theyd start on the next one so soon. [[User:FirstaLasto|<font color="pink">♡</font>'''Firsta'''Lasto<font color="pink">♥</font>]] 20:40, 9 April 2014 (EDT)
That makes no sense. --[[User:EpicWendigo|EpicWendigo]] ([[User talk:EpicWendigo|talk]]) 20:44, 9 April 2014 (EDT)
::Too soon to release a new ''Smash Bros.'' game and they're traditionally made when a new Nintendo home console is released. [[:User:ZeldaStarfoxfan2164|ZeldaStarfoxfan2164]] ([[User talk:ZeldaStarfoxfan2164|talk]]) is made in America  20:46, 9 April 2014 (EDT)

:I love how the first comment is "Are you sure this wasn't voice acting for All Stars?". But in all seriousness though, I'd say it is worth an add anyway; coming from the guy himself seems pretty valid, even given the fact that Raiden hasn't been seen on a Nintendo system.  '''''[[User:HavocReaper48|<span style="color:GOLDENROD; font-family:envirod;">--HavocReaper</span>]][[User talk:HavocReaper48|<span style="color:GOLD; font-family:envirod;">48</span>]]''''' 22:36, 9 April 2014 (EDT)

== SSB4: Kraid's Lair ==
This is a thing I saw on a website. http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/20014232/ It calls the games Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and shows us Kraid's Lair as a theme. Notable enough? [[User:Bug Man Stan|Bug Man Stan]] ([[User talk:Bug Man Stan|talk]]) 13:17, 15 April 2014 (EDT)
:It ain't notable. Fan remixes for stage music is absurdly common, so it becomes absurdly difficult to tell if it's a legit leak or not. In addition, leaking a musical piece for SSB4 is nowhere near notable enough to warrant a page on the Wiki because we really aren't going to learn much from Nintendo's musical choice. <span style="font-family:Forte">[[User:Megatron1|<span style="color:maroon">Mega</span>]][[User talk:Megatron1|<span style="color:silver">Tron1</span>]][[User:Megatron1/Laughology|<span style="color:blue">XD</span>]]</span>[[File:Decepticon.png|19px]] 13:27, 15 April 2014 (EDT)

==Leaked Roster Photo==
There is a leaked roster photo and while I don't believe it, it does fit the criteria of gaining a lot of attention. Here is one of MANY links http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/21473/article/rumor-super-smash-bros-4-roster-revealed/.
--[[User:Mr.Santana Lopez|Mr.Santana Lopez]] ([[User talk:Mr.Santana Lopez|talk]]) 16:56, 22 April 2014 (EDT)
There was a post (where I can't find the link) about that Chrom from Fire Emblem: Awakening, Palutena from Kid Icarus, Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles, Choir Boys from Rhythm Beat, and Pac Man are going to be in the game. This is from the same source (who I've surprised wasn't mentioned on this page already) that leaked that the E3 reveals would be Mega Man, Wii Fit Trainer, Animal Crossing Villager, Pac Man, Little Mac, and Mii (this should be called the 4 of 6 rumor if it will decide to be added). This leak has been getting a lot of attention.
--[[User:Mr.Santana Lopez|Mr.Santana Lopez]] ([[User talk:Mr.Santana Lopez|talk]]) 16:56, 22 April 2014 (EDT)
:That character select screen has already been seen and instantly debunked when posted, and we already have a section covering the ubiquitous phony character select screens. It's nothing special

:Well, that screenshot is very convincing. The unconfirmed characters have new artwork that has never been seen before. Snake who was the one I find the most unlikely to return isn't there. The all the confirmed characters, including the most recent ones use the Smash 4 artwork. However, Chrom is the only unconfirmed newcomer on this roster. While Sakurai stated there will be three third-party characters, only two are there: {{SSB4|Mega Man}} and {{SSB4|Sonic}}. Snake, Lucas, Ike, Wolf, Pokémon Trainer, Squirtle, Ivysaur and R.O.B. were cut. Previously rumored newcomers like Pac-Man and Palutena isn't on here, and the Newcomer I want the most, Tails, didn't make it either. However, there is still a chance that it could be fake. Sakurai didn't confirm everyone yet. And he stated he had problems with the Ice Climbers on the 3DS. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 10:23, 23 April 2014 (EDT)

::Additionally, the Ness image is that already-provened-faked "leaked art" reversed, not to mention the art of the yet-to-be-revealed characters is distinctly worse than the actual character art (and of course, there's no way Smash 4 would have the same amount of characters Brawl had and Chrom would be the only newcomer we haven't seen yet). <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 10:34, 23 April 2014 (EDT)
:Well, I still have my fingers crossed for Tails. Though I have a good idea of how Pac-Man's series symbol would look. Maybe despite stating only three third-party characters, he might add Tails as a bonus for Sonic and still have Pac-Man? Argh, this isn't the place to speculate! But I guess you're right. Why would Chrom be the only newcomer? Why cut Wolf? They couldn't have Krystal? What about Palutena? She was in a very convincing leak and Sakurai posted a couple of Kid Icarus screenshots after the leak, yet she is not in the roster. There are some characters I'd want and they're not in the roster. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 10:55, 23 April 2014 (EDT)
::Take a look at [[SW:TALK]], Wheeler. Anyway, the biggest red flag for this fake is the use of Ganondorf's official Twilight Princess artwork instead of even trying to use "new" art. [[User:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="dodgerblue"><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;">'''Miles''']] <font color="silver">([[User talk:Miles of SmashWiki|<font color="silver">talk]])</font></font></span></font> 11:27, 23 April 2014 (EDT)
:::Just to clarify, Chrom's artwork in the leak is concept art from Awakening, and Ganondorf's is just his render from Twilight Princess (i.e., the one where he's standing upright, hands on the hilt of his sword, tip touching the ground). That said, Ness' artwork isn't the fake one (at least, if we're talking about the same artwork; his arms are in different positions that aren't the result of simply reversing the image), but Chrom's and Ganon's alone are enough to discredit the image. That, and this would be the first Smash game ever not to have the character select portraits zoomed in on the characters' faces.

::::It may be true that the joke did appear on multiple sites, but effectively none of them made speculation about whether or not it was real. Examples: "[http://news.cheatcc.com/393432 Nester Prank Fools Smash Fans a Day Before April Fools]"; "[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/04/01/nester-joins-super-smash-bros-roster-april-fools-day.aspx Nester Joins Super Smash Bros. Roster (April Fools' Day)]; "[http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2014/mar/30/nester-shows-official-smash-bros-website-april-fools-joke-screen-shots-included/ Nester shows up on Smash Bros. website as April Fool's joke, screen shots included]". For comparison, the "Namco Employee" rumor had serious discussion over whether or not it was legitimate. Examples: "[http://www.mindofthegeek.com/2013/01/28/super-smash-bros-4-rumors-and-speculation/ Super Smash Bros. 4: Rumors and Speculation]"; "[http://www.zeldainformer.com/news/namco-worker-shares-smash-4-rumors-ghirahim-and-ridley-playable-nintendo-di#.U2kp8nbRYsS “Namco Worker” Shares Smash 4 Rumors: Ghirahim and Ridley Playable, Nintendo Direct on January 31]"; "[http://www.latinospost.com/articles/9276/20130109/wii-u-super-smash-bros-4-rumors.htm Wii U Super Smash Bros. 4 Rumors, Spoilers: Game To Be Previewed Jan. 31? New Characters Include King K. Rool, Ridley, Little Mac, Takamaru?]". In this case, coverage means nothing; if everyone knows of it as a joke, is it really a rumor, let alone a notable one?
::::The point about the page looking similar to the official site is also something that has already been done before. The Falco rumor featured faked images of the official site, and earlier still in ''Brawl'', the downloadable content rumor featured a faked newspost that appeared to be from an official Nintendo site.

== Roster Rumors? ==
I'm not adding this, because I'm not sure what the criteria is for adding rumors, and how we define them as "notable", but I would consider perhaps adding this to the list: http://www.gamnesia.com/news/rumor-smash-bros.-character-select-screen-leaked-54-playable-characters#ad-image-0  --<sub> (The preceding signed comment was made by [[User:GhotiH|Ghabulous Ghoti)]]</sub>  22:32, 24 May 2014 (EDT)
:The main criterion for rumour notability is how much it spreads around the internet, so unless/until it starts getting more coverage it should be left out.

:"Leaked" character select screens are so ubiquitous, that an individual one is not really notable itself (and we already cover them in general in the initial paragraphs). I'll give credit that this one is more legitimate looking, though the lack of Ike makes it look like just another phony. <span style="font-family:Edwardian Script ITC; font-size:12pt">[[User:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Omega</span>]] [[User talk:Omega Tyrant|<span style="color:forestgreen">Tyrant</span>]]</span> [[Image: TyranitarMS.png ]] 22:41, 24 May 2014 (EDT)
::The coverage I'd seen of this implied it was the character select for the E3 demo next month, but that doesn't redeem it into notability.

==Nester Leak==
As some of you may recall, the SmashWiki got hacked on April 1st just this year. Along with that, there was a link to a fake character reveal, the reveal being of Nester, the old Nintendo Power mascot (if you give me some time, I can find it). I had put up a little section on this page about the leak, but it got taken down. I don't get why a plain old theory is allowed (see the Trophy Quizzes section in the actual article), but not an actual leak. I am not meaning to sound like a dick here, but I'm just trying to figure out something, and hopefully let others know about the AFD Nester leak. The question is, is this a good idea? If it is not (and you give me a good enough reason why), then hopefully, I will understand. Again, not trying to sound/act like a dick here. [[User:Aidanzapunk|Aidanzapunk]] ([[User talk:Aidanzapunk|talk]]) 13:39, 9 July 2014 (EDT)
:Compare the post-April-Fools notoriety of that particular joke with the Sonic and Tails one - it's much weaker, mostly because it was an obvious fake. I doubt it'll become notable enough in future to be included on this page.

::::Obvious April Fools' pranks do not really qualify as "rumour"s. The Sonic/Tails rumour in Melee is the exception, not because it wasn't obvious, but because it lasted in the public consciousness beyond its initial apperance. I seem to recall people talking about the Sonic/Tails rumour for months and even years after the fact, while I don't see the Nester thing anywhere nowadays. It was a flash in the pan.

== Gematsu Disproven ==
Should I change it to have "ended" or something to that effect? Because whether or not the first leak was true, the second (Chrom), third (roster finalization), and fourth (Shulk revealed today) were all confirmed as false. Putting it as "ended" also includes that the first leak has been completely confirmed as false. Until he sends another email, all of the leaks have been resolved- #1 is right, #2-4 are wrong.

:I specifically went for the neutral phrasing that at least the later emails are inaccurate/false due to Chrom's deconfirmation. It's unclear if any were accurate at this time, so I've left it open-ended. I personally believe it was a set of lucky guesses which finally missed, but it's subjective for now.

== The Ninka/Vaanrose "Leak" from SmashBoards.com ==
I was tempted to add this supposed "leak", but I thought it would be more appropriate to run it by here first. While it is not exactly popular, the individuals from SmashBoards who initially provided this information are regarded as trusted and reliable sources, who are unlikely to just make things up. The fact that they felt it was important enough to share is noteworthy. This information is usually not accessible for those who don't have a SmashBoards account. Recently, however, the information has been restricted to the more senior members of SmashBoards and for that reason I no longer have full access to it. The amount of secrecy about this information is very interesting, and while it is not widely acknowledged I think it's significant enough to create a section for here, but what do you guys think? I managed to snap a shot of the information. Please do not immediately disregard the information because the pictures are from Project M; the text on the image will explain that.--[[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 18:21, 19 August 2014 (EDT)
:OK: '''Do not put pictures on talk pages'''. They take up unnecessary space, even more so in this pic's case, and can be handled by an internal link (<nowiki>[[:File:Name]]; notice the extra colon before 'file')</nowiki>. About the leak itself: What exactly is this supposed to leak? You never explained that. I can't read the text there, and I think you should give us an external link to the thread so we can see what this actually is. <font face="sand">''[[User:Qwerty|<font color="black">Qw</font><font color="003F3F">er</font><font color="005F5F">ty</font>]] ''[[User talk:Qwerty|<font color="005F6F">(t</font><font color="003C6F">al</font><font color="000F7F">k)</font>]]</font> 18:58, 19 August 2014 (EDT)
::I can provide a link to the thread, but individuals who do not have a SmashBoards account cannot view the information, and the thread has now been locked so that only senior members can view the information anyways. http://smashboards.com/threads/the-ninka-vaanrose-leak-discussion-theory.362684 The purpose of the image is that if you select it, and go to its file, it's large enough for you to read it's contents. It was the only way for me to provide the information without quoting it myself because I didn't think I'd be believed if I was to just spread the information from it. The leak adds details on certain palette swaps, and more importantly it claims to provide information on newcomers and character cuts from ''Brawl''. --[[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 20:17, 19 August 2014 (EDT)
