On December 7th, Vergeben [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78233689?jumpto=52#52 stated] that he would try to check if the final Fighters Pass Vol. 1 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] he 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 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, leaving the possibility for the remaining companies open. 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, 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 | On December 7th, Vergeben [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78233689?jumpto=52#52 stated] that he would try to check if the final Fighters Pass Vol. 1 character is owned by HAL Laboratory, Game Freak, Intelligent Systems, SNK, or Atlus.

Interestingly, Vergeben mentioned in the same post that when asking about {{s|wikipedia|KOS-MOS}} from ''{{s|wikipedia|Xenosaga}}'' in response to a rumor from 4chan that she would be announced as the 5th Fighters Pass character during {{S|wikipedia|The Game Awards 2019}}, 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. The Game Awards 2019 aired without any new announcements regarding ''Smash''. Vergeben would later state on [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78258412?jumpto=13#13 December 16] that the 5th Fighter Pass character was not Reiji Arisu and Xiaomu from ''Namco x Capcom'' and the ''Project x Zone'' series or Morrigan from ''{{s|wikipedia|Darkstalkers}}''. | ||
Shortly before the presentation that revealed Byleth on January 16, 2020, Vergeben [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78333254?jumpto=5#5 claimed] that it was not KOS-MOS and reiterated that it was not Dante, Phoenix Wright, Amaterasu, Monster Hunter, Morrigan, or Leon Kennedy on [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78329393?jumpto=13#3 Capcom's] side. During the presentation itself, Vergeben [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78333254?jumpto=219#219 posted] that his source had told him it was Byleth shortly before the presentation and stating that the Mii Fighter costumes would be [[Altair]], [[Cuphead]], a [[Rabbid]] hat, and two Mega Man outfits. He [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78333254?jumpto=221#221 later] provided a timestamped screenshot showing this message arrived fifteen minutes before the presentation. Although this screenshot could easily have been edited, his initial post came before the point in the presentation where the Mii Fighter costumes were revealed, which would indicate the screenshot was, in fact, true. | Shortly before the presentation that revealed Byleth on January 16, 2020, Vergeben [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78333254?jumpto=5#5 claimed] that it was not KOS-MOS and reiterated that it was not Dante, Phoenix Wright, Amaterasu, Monster Hunter, Morrigan, or Leon Kennedy on [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/234547-super-smash-bros-ultimate/78329393?jumpto=13#3 Capcom's] side.
