 * 1) No it doesn't. The models don't match with the final product, so the leaks are fake. If you think showing a character alone proves a leak real, then you clearly don't know what a leak is.
 * 2) ...you clearly don't know what a leak is, apparently. A leak, in this sense, is a reveal of information that isn't meant to be revealed. Said info must come directly from the game it's revealed for, or else it's not legitimate. That these fake leaks (or rather, rumors) just so happen to be lucky guesses don't mean they're legit leaks, because they aren't from the game itself at all. They were edits and mods from earlier games. It's like as if a rumor was spreading around in 1926 that a second World War were to come, only to be revealed it was just a joke from a random citizen, which coincidentally came true in 1941. That there just so happens to be a World War II doesn't mean the rumor is a legit leak, and the fact that Palutena, Lucina, Jigglypuff and Ness are confirmed, doesn't mean their respective rumors are legit leaks either.
 * 3) I said what I believe what cannot be counted for, not what you believe cannot be counted for. You can't just add things to my opinion, that's rude. And you still have no source (which is still needed since you and Omar are the ONLY ONES that claim this), so I don't have to believe it either.

1. Yes it does, and in case you didn't know, Nintendo must have updated the models of Lucina, Palutena, Ness and Jigglypuff, and in the end, these updated models matched the final product, meaning that the leak was proving real. And I do happen to know about the leaks more than you can imagine.

2. Once again, I do happen to know about the leaks more than you can imagine. And FYI, World War 2 had nothing to do with this topic, so you're being off-topic with your "pointless reason".

And 3. And I said that you forgot the third thing that YOU, or rather "we", believe what cannot be counted, and that third thing is "disqualification for a character due to the fake leak after the ballot began". Even you have no source of "Rayman being leaked on February 14, 2015 (a.k.a. Valentine's Day)", nor do you have any proof that Rayman had "no leaks since February one". And even if you somehow do, it wouldn't matter, because Rayman wouldn't even be part of the ballot anyway, nor would he ever be voted, therefore Rayman was rejected by Sakurai. Pretty good reason why Sakurai added Bayonetta rather than Rayman. So, ":p" yourself.
