Gematsu leaks

==Aftermath==

The reveal of two newcomers never implicated by the leak, the disconfirmation of Chrom, and the sudden silence of the leaker brought even more discussion on the leak's seemingly-shattered credibility. Defenders of the leak argued that the leak, as commonly theorized, was outdated information obtained from the early stages development, and that Chrom was intended to be included in the game, but was replaced with Robin and/or Lucina mid-development. Indeed, in a Famitsu column after the reveal, Sakurai stated that, he considered adding Chrom, but ~~was~~ decided to add Robin instead, as he saw the former would just be another ''Fire Emblem'' swordsman having nothing unique to differentiate him from {{SSB4|Marth}} and {{SSB4|Ike}}, while the latter provided a plethora of unique moveset options and better represented ''Fire Emblem''.<ref>http://www.gonintendo.com/s/233268-sakurai-talks-lucina-s-inclusion-in-smash-bros-wii-u-3ds-why-chrom-didn-t-make-the-cut</ref> Lucina was initially conceptualised as an alternative costume for Marth, and then, ironically, got upgraded to a separate playable character when Sakurai decided to change her attacks and physics to distinguish her from Marth. With the continued silence of the leaker, the leak was later considered dead, and major discussion of it ceased.

It remains ambiguous whether the leaker had legitimate information in the first leak, with the information in the subsequent leaks being severely outdated or outright invented, or if the leaker's claims had merely been lucky guesswork. The leaker's identity is also unknown, though some have postulated that the leaker was merely an employee at E3 who happened to give Gematsu the information right before the event began.
