"Animal Crossing Guy" Obviously meaning he sees images, Not names and info. And Robin and Shulk look almost exactly like eachother, So the tapper probably looked up images... Found Shulk then was like "Yep, That's him.".

So basically Shulk is Robin.

Chrom isn't playable, though. He appears to be a part of Robin's final smash.
That was part of the leak too.

No... it's over, let it go. What Gematsu had wasn't actually full accuracy, it was just that no newcomer it stated was ever confirmed to not be in. Now we have such a case with Chrom, so add onto that the newcomers he never even predicted, as well as the off dates for reveals in some occasions, and you have yourself a dead leak.

And plus since this is probably Image-Based Chorus Kids are most likely Marshal.

WHy is it over? Because DaDavid is raging? He revealed mii fighters by name, predicted wii fit trainer. And lucina is a marth alt.

it only looks like one of us is raging if you look at our two posts, but okay, I'll reiterate.

I think it's over because the evidence suggests it is. We can keep making excuses for it but the more we do that the more suspect it appears. It's remarkable that he predicted those things by name, but it's just as noteworthy that Chrom is in fact not in and that he didn't manage to mention Greninja by name despite being able to call out those two characters.

I stick to my theory and i think i should just mention 1 thing.

Gematsu can't be wrong until the game is released. (Unless he gets too specific)

I hate to make this argument, considering I want to believe but... There is no way Robin was confused for Shulk. Even if they have similar appearances, wouldn't you agree that the absence or presence of the Monado would clue someone in on whether or not the character was Shulk? If someone saw one of the pictures on the website earlier than we did, and earlier than they were supposed to, even in passing, they'd see that nobody was holding the Monado, and therefore, they'd know the character in the picture wasn't Shulk.

It's true that Gematsu has made some pretty accurate predictions so far; however, this latest trailer blows much if not all of his credibility out of the water.

Not only was he blatantly wrong about Chrom, but he also sent an e-mail out last night "confirming" the trailer today was going to be Shulk.

If he really was getting his leaks from promotional material, he would've known well in advance that the trailer today was most definitely not Shulk.

*sigh* I was really hoping this reveal would put the final nail in the coffin for the oh-so-convenient Gematsu leak..

Sakurai said he chose greninja before X/Y came out so xy pokemon makes sence. Animal crossing guy makes just as much sence for that reason. His information is outdated, so they were all placeholder characters. Chrom just meant fire emblem character, AKA lucina. Robin has the rosalina clause, and falcon is a vet. Sorry If i came off angry, I just think that chorus men is what keeps this leak from being disconfirmed.

Yes it is over.
He got lucky with Wii Fit Trainer. The other characters were all pretty easy guesses.
He never mentioned Rosalina or Lucina, and he said Chrom was playable.

Robin looks like Shulk? I...don't see it. To me they look nothing alike. I was one of the ones believing Gematsu but now, just give it up. Stick a fork in it, its done.

Just because he said i hope you enjoy Shulk doesn't mean "Shulk will be confirmed in this trailer today on the livestream.".

And i would like to see the smartest man in the world predict Wii Fit Trainer to be a playable character for a game that isn't even released yet.

And who is the tapper anyway!?
