===Geolyte "leak"===
On July 23rd, 2018, a [https://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/91db99/a_well_made_4chan_leak_with_pictures_most_likely/ post] was made to 4chan<!--Yes, I know, the link is to Reddit, not 4chan. But 4chan is blacklisted by the wiki, so I didn't exactly have a choice. -Aidanzapunk--> in regards to a supposed character leak, regarding the "mascot" character, a Geolyte, from ''{{s|wikipedia|Meteos}}''. While only one image was provided in the thread, [http://is2.4chan.org/v/1532394341086.jpg several] [https://imgur.com/a/207m1yf other images] have since popped up throughout the internet. The leak held some credibility: ''Meteos'' is a [[Sakurai]]-designed series, and it tied in with the [[#Codenames "leak"|codenames "leak"]], as Prime Ribs would have referred to the ox-like look of the Geolyte. However, several inconsistencies were noticed in the screenshots, particularly with the damage percents, as they did not match up with what was shown at the E3 demo. Additionally, the portrait used for the Geolyte was noted to be a flipped version of [https://metamo-ark.wikia.com/wiki/File:Nbg01_geolite.png an image from ''Meteos''] of the Geolyte.
