Which won't happen, but imagine how funny it would be if that fake leak actually turned out to be true and Heihachi was announced at EVO.

Those fake leaks are rampant these days, I see several fake leak threads on GameFAQs Ultimate board every day.
 
Eh, it's not more any rampant than in the Brawl days. As long as shitposting communities like 4chan exist, you'll have "fake" "leaks".
 
I do believe they had some legit leaks in during Brawl tho.

Lucario, Wolf and Sonic were revealed via leaks, I believe [size=6pt]but I don't have this much knowledge in the Brawl days leaks so correct me if I'm wrong... I'm sure about Lucario and Wolf tho

As someone who was there in the thick of the Sonic for Brawl stuff. I can confirm there was someone who a week or two ago before the announcement said in the very Sonic support thread on Smashboards that Sonic would be revealed on Wednesday, October 10th in 2007. And indeed it happened.

I don't know as much with Wolf and Lucario. But yeah.
 
Brawl's roster leaked shortly before release, just like Smash 4. People ridiculed the leak roster and the guy who leaked. They scoffed at the idea of Mewtwo being cut and Wolf getting in over Krystal. Most of the hate was directed at R.O.B., which resulted in this famous image:

People were baffled by the idea that R.O.B. would get in and a huge fan request like Ridley wouldn't. Lo and behold the game releases and the leak is true.
 
Wow.

The salt is real.

But basically that could mean that any fake leak that doesn't go beyond the boundaries of possiblecan be true.

But there's too many that contradict themselves and therefore you can't really trust anyone.
 
They key is that the roster leaks that happened for Brawl and Smash 4 both occurred very close to the release date. Any leak this early on is almost 99.9% fake. I'm sure Ultimate's roster will leak, but it may not be 'till two weeks before release.

The Gematsu leak is the only leak from early in the pre-release cycle that ended up being true, and even some of that info was outdated. Jury's still out on the rumor that mentioned Simon Belmont.

There still seems be a lot of hate towards R.O.B., with him being a popular choice for a character who should be cut before everyone was confirmed to be playable in Smash Ultimate.
