2. Looks to me like Nintendo just did disqualify Rayman and Shovel Knight for being fake leaks. A fake leak is against the rule of the Fighter Ballot, and since they broke the rules, Rayman and Shovel Knight got the one thing they deserve: disqualification.

And there you have it, Arend, after a fake leak, neither Rayman and Shovel Knight would ever be in Smash, not even in the future Smash game (if Sakurai would ever make another Smash game, which I doubt he would).
 * 1) Pac-Man and Shulk were both in the exact same leak as Chrom. They weren't from separate leaks by Gematsu, but from one single leak. The guesses with Pac-Man and Shulk are correct while the Chrom guess was incorrect, but that doesn't change the fact that they were all in the same leak. I've said this about a million times now, and yet you still pretend your argument is correct.
 * 2) There's absolutely no rules on that. You just made that up. The only rule the Fighter ballot has is that the character must be from a video game. Also they don't deserve disqualification just because some jerk decided to make a fake leak that includes them. That's absolutely unfair for both the character and the fans. It's irrational, dumb and nonsensical.
