Yes you are. Regardless of whether or not you were trying to be condescending, your wording was -- the way you put it basically translates to "If you want to believe something stupid, go ahead." You're also inaccurate because, again, I never said that I believe anything, which is simultaneously putting words in my mouth. There's no calling out involved on my part, just pointing out that you were out of line.
You're reading tone that's not there, I feel like you're choosing to be offended for the sake of drama. I put emphasis on the word "and" to express how specific the theory was, that's all. There's no implications suggesting stupidity, the final phrase of "by all means believe it" was sincere acceptance on my part towards anybody who happens to still have confidence in theory despite remaining bound by the strict conditions for it to turn out correct. Not everybody resorts to sarcasm. However, what I can't accept is ignorance. That's why I went into explicit detail as to what the theory entails, not for you, but for everybody.
This conversation wouldn't be happening if you didn't feel the need to point out "Horse Apples, how dare you say I believe in this theory!?". It was a general statement to begin with; the entire paragraph was me establishing the grounds of the theory, not a personal letter to you and your stance. I hadn't even said anybody treated it as fact, let alone yourself. What I see is you having ignored every initial point I made, grabbed the last sentence, took it personally, then try to point out I'm in the wrong.
There yo go again putting words in my mouth. All I did was reference the trophy theory in relevance to Isaac being mentioned, as Ghirahim seemed like the most likely candidate for a Zelda newcomer, especially were it to be from Skyward Sword. This only means that I thought he had a chance because the trophy theory was looking pretty solid to me, not that he had more of a chance than Isaac. I never said that, nor did I imply it.
Many questions. In what world was Ghirahim the most likely Zelda newcomer, even from Skyward Sword? Since when was
any Zelda newcomer likely? Not because of the trophy theory, right? Please don't say that's why. Additionally, how was Ghirahim especially any more likely from an unproven
theory than otherwise?
Most important of all, and I must stress again, why reference the trophy theory in the first place? Please give me an answer that doesn't ignore the above questions. Do you only not see the theory as "believable" any more because Ghirahim is not the potential Zelda newcomer? I view that as biased.
Now you've lost me, because what you described has basically no difference.
What I'm reading is "Ghirahim was likely because of this theory, and the theory was likely because of Ghirahim". Not necessarily "backwards", but neither part of that statement makes sense, and especially not together. Before you say I'm putting words in your mouth again, don't deny the fact you've obviously favoured it at least in the past, and it's entirely fair game that I could assume that you continued to, otherwise biased in favour of Ghirahim. Excuse me for jumping out of the current conversation, you went to the effort of making a blog post on the topic and saying
looks like I was right about the trophies shown off in the Smash Direct being indications of newcomers. I guess it was just Ghirahim or bust for you, right?
Two new musical track demonstrations have been put on the music page of the official site. They are
Mega Man 2 Medley and
Bath Time Theme (Vocal Mix). I'm not sure how frequently the page will continue to be updated, let's hope it's plentiful.
Also, I'm sure plenty of you saw the supposed leaked screenshots a few days ago. Well now there's supporting video footage. It's the 3DS version, and content in it we haven't seen include the characters Ganondorf, Shulk and Bowser Jr., and the returning Yoshi's Island stage from
Brawl. There's five short clips on a YouTube channel
here. I'm not sure how long they will remain up, however.
