Why are we believing these rumors and so-called leaks?

Ever since Sunday, we've been believing stuff like the 35 and 48 roster numbers and this recent thing from 2Ch. Something is wrong here. All of a sudden, we're believing just about every rumor. The fact that this roster is from 2Ch. makes its credibility go down the drain. 2Channel is one of, if not, the largest forum in the world. Therefore, there's a high likelihood that this is a fake. As for the disc and screen, this is probably nothing more than a photoshop. Do ya'll remember that roster leak on a screen a while back?

Another thing I want to mention is the Jiggs, Lucario, and Ness "leak". I, and a few others, believe that this was done by a hacker, maybe someone from 2Channel or some rogue at 4Chan.

Look at these pictures:

From the sticker power-ups update.



From the tourney mode update.

As you can see, the heads of the characters are the icons. This brings me to my point that may debunk this.

Here, is the thing that started it all, the Ness confirmation pic. It may look fine but look at the Lucas icon and look at the Ness one afterwards. Look real hard at the Lucas icon.

As you can see, more then the head can be seen and it's also a little hard to tell exactly what his hair color is. His shirt can be seen and his head is significantly smaller than Ness'.

Before replying, ask yourselves these questions:

1. Why would Nintendo go add a minor detail into a video? Have they ever done this before?
2. Why would they add it, then take it out?
3. Does a hacker doing this for the lulz than Nintendo making an accidental leak?

I'm not saying Ness is out, I'm just really skeptical about this and maybe crazy as well.

No, the REAL question is, how come all you guys have believed any filthy bum with Internet access and decide that THIS TIME, THIS is the lie. How come you gullible slobs ate up everything rapscouter said for months while I TOLD you it was fake the entire time, but everyone is so desperate to try and prove the most RELIABLE information fake? Because they don't like it? Not a good reason.

Wow...so your basically saying the jiggs, lucario and ness leak is debunked becuz one of the icons has a tiny bit more than just a head? You've lost your mind! Over-speculation anyone?

If a "hacker" is responsible for that video, then Nintendo did a very poor job of reverting their work seeing as how the icons of those characters can STILL be seen in the video (pause, jump to 4:20 and 4:21 and you'll see it). No, don't even offer that ridiculous theory - it wasn't a hacker and it's stupid to suggest that. It was a character revelation, plain and simple. Nintendo realized their mistake and attempted to fix it, albeit poorly.

But other than that, I don't even care about these newest "leaks" and whatnot. The game will be out in nine days, what's the point of arguing anymore? Hell, after this most recent delay, my hype has already diminished considerably, so I just don't find these "OMG NEW LEAK" and "NEW LEAK IS A FAKE!" topics to be at all interesting.
