User blog:SpencerDean/The Gematsu Leak Isn't Dead? . . .

I always thought the Gematsu leak was totally false, because Chrom was confirmed as a final smash. But I thought up a statement that can defend it.

Lucina wasn't supposed to be in the game, hence, Sakurai added a ? to the end of, "Lucina Joins The Battle!", because he was surprised that she was actually her own character slot. We have evidence that she was supposed to be an alt. costume for Marth at release. This is all true, but here's where I made it up:

Chrom was supposed to be a playable character at launch, however, due to time constraints, they couldn't finish his character. Maybe he was all bugged up, and they couldn't fix him in time for release. So they cut Chrom, and they replaced him with an exact clone of Marth, who is obviously Lucina. So maybe before the Smash Direct, when the leaker posted his second prediction list, Chrom was on the roster, but later got cut and replaced with Lucina, who was easy to put in because she was originally an alt. Makes sense?

So, maybe we'll get Shulk and the Chorus Kids after all. Just wait and see.
