There's more than one source claiming the Shovel Knight thing, but I think there is a 'main' source, who has leaked things in the past.I do wish we had something more to go on the Shovel Knight rumor than just two guys saying he's (probably) in due to a source. What did the source say? Why are they saying this? Is there more to this than just word of mouth? Has the source actually been proven true on past Smash leaks, or is this the only thing they are saying? Have people seen screenshots and videos or something? How could they possibly know when he'd be revealed? Why does the source seem convinced that he's playable and not anything else? Why did the source come forward at the same time everyone else came forward about the Amiibo and why is this source different?
Driving me nuts.
He hasn't leaked anything Smash related before to my knowledge, but he's claiming to know about Shovel Knight through retailers. He said that Amazon would be selling DLC codes for Nintendo games, and a few days after the rumor broke, this turned out to be true. I believe they only started selling Smash codes recently, but I could be wrong.
That's at least my understanding of it.
