User blog comment:Klaus00/LEAKS!!!/@comment-8182065-20140930034944

Generally I don't actually mind leaks, though I feel more negatively towards them. Anyone who can type can post a blog on the internet saying: "we're getting this character" "Mewtwo's coming back" "Snake, Shadow, Tails, and Naruto are gonna be DLC". In other words they can make up as much as they want, just to bring up false hope and seek some attention. Don't get me wrong, its fun to look at them and I try to preserve my judgement until after reading through the whole thing. Though without some sort of evidence its easy to claim it as nothing but a pack of lies.

Now if the leak is small (lets say about its about one new character, we get some photos, etc.) that way there's some discussion on its legitimacy. You get to look for what could be true, what's total BS, whether or not the image is photoshopped and decide from there. I mean, one character at a time is fine, that way there's still plenty of hype left for the rest of the content we're getting.

With larger leaks (lets go with the leak of the full roster of smash) it completely ruins the hype for everyone. EVERYONE!!! I was pissed when finding out the full roster from a leak. It just took out the mystery of who'd be coming as an unlockable fighter.
