Hm... the WCD this week is done, but I'm not sure if I should let you guys keep going on the hint. So far nobody has correctly understood how the hint works. And btw, I think it is much more simple than you guys think. Whenever I see math or numbers, I'm always confused as to where they thought to go with that.

Sorry, I've never seen anything like this. If it does have something to do with numbers, I'm not totally sure what I would do with them. I'll keep looking until you post the character (and hopefully, the answer), but yeah, I'm not seeing anything that looks like your style of hint yet.

Weird, I'm suddenly seeing a lot of Samus. This character is not ZSS, but might have a red costume - the powersuit?

EDIT: except for the "mights," what if the sentences from the paragraph matchup so that if one is true, the other is false?

It is either not ZSS or not a homerun bat. Ignore the "mights for now". I'll see if I get anywhere. Remember, ZSS cannot be selected technically, you have to hold down a button after selecting normal Samus.

EDIT2: neither Dedede nor ZSS seem to make all that much sense using that idea. Too bad.

EDIT3: Yeah, I kinda agree with Frogster King. This doesn't seem simple.

I think the two paragraphs are coordinates, one for rows and one for columns (on the select screen?). Now to convert the paragraphs to one number each.

If we take the mights to be true, the character is Magikarp, which doesn't have hair, but he must have hair because the hint says so. And no, I don't count the fins as hair anymore than I would say a catfish has hair.

you guys are not ?etting it. :(

G is no where near ?

First letter I'm assuming.

Looking for the words after the "not" statements and something to do with the first letter perhaps?

First Letter from not statements
Z

First Letter from other statements

4 question marks.

4 "might" statements.

Think about it for a while, because I have no idea what kind of code works like that, especially since we know that not all the might statements can be true.

So there've been some mentions of looking at things backwards, but nobody's done that. Is there any way to look at this backwards?

This is going to be one of those things like..It'll be so obvious once they say it, we'll all do a synchronized face palm.
Nope, I never facepalm. It's never that obvious with Samurai and OS.

be a character

just puttin down my thoughts, anyone else notice that both sections have a pattern of words? (might-has-has-can-might) and (might-can-can-has-might)

i can't anagram the first letter of each word though after each pattern though :|, ive only looked at the ones without the "is not" though and ignored the "is a", which probably wasn't a good idea

Yeah, I kinda tried that. Didn't post it though, because I couldn't find anything.

I tried saying the sentences backwards, didn't notice anything odd about the spelling backwards; I just don't get it this time.

Yeah, I also tried plenty of similar things.

I bet this is just one of those things that seems simple if you know the answer....

You know, when they skipped a week, I did a hint. First part:

Bouxytue "Xehanort" twice

Bouxytue was discovered to be an anagram of youtube with an X very quickly. "Xehanort" was discovered to be an anagram of "No Heart" within a day. It took half a week and about 50 supplementary hints to get that "Xehanort" was an anagram of "Another," in spite of the fact being on Xehanort's Wikipedia description. So it took half a week and outside help to figure out they needed to youtube "another" "no heart"

The best part was that half the people attempting the hint were huge Kingdom Hearts fans.

Unless that's a PTrainer sorting of kin (switching Pokemon) I don't think so. :p

I haven't been working on this hint, so that's how deep I'm going to go. :p
