A day before [[E3 2014]], Romano received another email from the leaker.

During the E3 Nintendo Digital Event of 2014, both {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}} and {{SSB4|Palutena}} were confirmed, with {{SSB4|Pac-Man}} being confirmed later that day<ref>[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/476547936881369088]</ref>, confirming all characters claimed by the original leak, and leaving only Shulk, Chrom, and the Chorus Kids of the previous leaks left to be announced. | A day before [[E3 2014]], Romano received another email from the leaker.

While the Chorus Kids were not announced in any capacity, a [[Sneaky Spirit]], an enemy from the ''{{uv|Rhythm Heaven}}'' series, was spotted during a [[Smash Run]] demo during E3 2014 | While the Chorus Kids were not announced in any capacity, a [[Sneaky Spirit]], an enemy from the ''{{uv|Rhythm Heaven}}'' series, was spotted during a [[Smash Run]] demo during E3 2014. As noted by some fans of the series, all Smash Run enemies came from franchises represented with characters or stages, or else from ''Brawl''{{'}}s [[Subspace Emissary]], suggesting the possibility of other ''Rhythm Heaven'' representation, and strengthening the prospect of the Chorus Kids. No other ''Rhythm Heaven'' representation had been revealed at the time. | ||
While the result of E3 2014 confirmed all the first leak's claimed playable characters, the veracity of the subsequent leaks remained unclear and was a subject of much debate. While the second leak accurately slated Palutena as playable, she was a character widely speculated to be playable, due to Sakurai having worked on ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' and the presence of the, at the time, non-debunked "leaked" images that had been posted on multiple news sites. | While the result of E3 2014 confirmed all the first leak's claimed playable characters, the veracity of the subsequent leaks remained unclear and was a subject of much debate.
