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the leaker had legitimate information in the first leak, with the information in the subsequent leaks being severely outdated or outright invented, or if the leaker's claims had merely been lucky guesswork.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, and it will likely never be known with their continued silence, 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.

Shulk was later confirmed in a separate leak, called the [[ESRB leak]], but much too late to repair the credibility of the Gematsu Leaks. In addition, the Chorus Kids are not playable and appear in the game only as a collectible [[trophy]]. However, a filename for a ''Rhythm Heaven'' character icon was found in the game's data.<ref>[http://wiiudaily.com/2015/01/dr-mario-stage-new-characters-smash-data-mining/ Dr. Mario stage and Rhythm Heaven character files found in Super Smash Bros.]</ref> Although Lucas was not on the initial roster of the game, he was later announced in a Nintendo Direct on 1 April 2015 to be DLC for the game. In addition, in the same Direct, it was announced that ''SSB4'' would receive a schedule of DLC (which ended on February 3rd, 2016), including not only Mii Fighter costumes, but additional characters. What all of this means in regards to the assertions of the Gematsu leaks, however, is uncertain.
