This looks mostly okay. Few notes though:

  • I believe there is a way to confirm that a Miiverse post was made from a game, or was at least made by someone who has played the game. If there is, we can use such posts as sources, as we know they cannot be faked.
  • If something has a whole ton of different single images from different sources, while none of the images themselves are proof enough, the sheer volume of them may be. For example say that after release we see about fifty different images of some new character, all in different poses on different stages. That's far harder to fake than a few images all on the same stage.
  • The current standards are "SSB4-3DS" and "SSB4-Wii U" (fuller names) for categories, and "SSB4-3" and "SSB4-U" (single chars) for images/templates. I'm not sure which combo is better for articles:
    • "-3DS" and "-Wii U" are the full system names, but the lowercase in the latter is unusual.
    • "-3" and "-U" is short and distinct, but a lot of people will probably find "SSB4-3" in titles confusing.
    • "-3DS" and "-U" is simple and convenient, but the mix of "full" and "one letter" doesn't feel right.
