So basically, if you were getting a range of -2 to +2 on your solo jump in SP before, due to some judges marking your lack of steps, you might as well get all +2 now just for being 'interesting' with your arms going into the jump?

Guys, just a suggestion, maybe take the 'texts from' to the [link=http://www.planethanyu.com/topic92.html]Meme Thread[/link]? They're so many from so many sources, it's kind of taking over the General thread.

Quoting http://soyouwanttowatchfs.tumblr.com Hmmm. I wonder what this in particular means. So you don't need steps, per se, you just need to do something creative, interesting or original... which... is defined by whom? This is basically a way to save face for not giving the negative GOE they should have been giving for jumps that didn't have steps. You don't really need steps anymore, you just need to be interesting enough.

He could do a spiral as a transition into one of his 3A!

the yuzu one is yuzu_txts the poohbear one is poohbear_txts there is a borser one called rantingorser a javi one called Javi_txts there's also a loco_txt for shoma and nobu_texts for nobu. There's also: yunatxts pchiddy_txt boyang_txts All of these are quite hilarious. What people get up to during the off-season.

Wonderful :goe: Yuzu must be delighted to see this, I bet. May I ask how to watch this video Weibo? Where to click because I don't read Chinese. Thank you It should open automatically, I think. Which browser are you using?

The difference in height alone! Not to mention the axis.

I wonder if there's any external mods/codes that automatically eliminate extra quotes (since we can't have more than 3 in a reply), so we stop having all these open quotes in posts. If it does exist and if it can be worked somehow, even if only when we move to a personal host, it'd be really appreciated! (if only for my own personal peace of mind).

we need a fancam for brian at every competition!! :rofl2: I wish we would've gotten one for Worlds....... Helsinki cameramen I was coming to say this. I wish there'd be one for Worlds because the glimpses we did see of Brian and Tracy were amazing.

Other Skaters' 2017/18 program announcements
xeyra replied to CupidsBow's topic in Knickknacks: General Skating Chat
Please don't remind me. :ohno: :xD: :embSwan: :s_whiteflag -
Speaking of the Icenetwork person of the year, I was reading back on it and apparently Yuzu was only nominated once, in the 2015-2016 season, and not even in the 2013-2014 season when he won the Olympics, Worlds and GPF in the same season. Are this year's nominees done or does he still have the possibility of also being nominated? Not that this is much important and icenetwork is quite US centric, but it seems a bit strange to me if he were to not be at least nominated this year as himself (or him and Shoma as part of some Japanese men's skating powerhouse) and not just as a mention in the footnotes of his admittedly huge and dedicated fanbase. Then again, Javi didn't get nominated for the 2015-2016 season when he won Worlds again so... :nah:

Team we're fewer but still good!

Yep, that 3 quad layout is not a good layout strategically in my point of view... but Javi seems to think very differently then me, and in the end, he has to go with whatever seems to work for him. If he has that -3T3Lo combo down already, it might still make sense to go for that next season over 4 quads, which he might have never practiced until this point. The point is, there is not much BV increase with a 4th quad if you can maximize the 3 quad version (similar to discussion regarding Yuzu and 4 quads vs 5). Yeah, it would depend on whether that combo is something he has been training seriously, so he could focus more on the 4Lo. 100+ BV would place him a bit higher in the BV race compared to where he is now, which would be good for him, but as has been said before, higher BV isn't everything. However, it might help make sure you're not TOO out-BV'ed to the point that you're dependent on someone else making mistakes. -
Eh.... eh..... EH?! :eh: :eh: :eh: What is it? a popped jump for sure :rofl2: If he gotta pop it, he pops it with style.

This seems like a really weird choice of layout because it would not only add 1 new quad and 1 new combo, but would also shift a second combo to the second half. Just for curiosity's sake, though, the BV of his original layout is 95.13 and this proposed possible layout would be 101.24, so a difference of 6.11 in BV for quite a hefty change. A layout with an added 4Lo and 4 quads, though, could be something like: 4Lo 4S-3T 4T // 4S 3A-2T 3F-1Lo-3S 3A 3Lz which would be 102.50 BV (102.55 if he traded the 4T with the 3A2T's position) but that would require training for four quads, and the only thing he'd need to learn anew would be the 4Lo. -

The thing I find interesting about Javi is that he's been doing a 3-quad FS since 2012! Has his layout changed that much since 2012, aside from adding a second 3A in 2016? Edit: And how many times has he gone clean on his FS before? -
Considering this forum, this is extremely fitting. I approve of his costume being made of stars. :goe:

The 2014 version with that hot dude Luke Evans :laugh: Or [link=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/b2/df/0f/b2df0feb27fd9b1e234fec9d9700f8d1.jpg]Gerard Butler[/link]'s version! Though [link=http://assets2.ignimgs.com/2014/06/14/1280-dracula-untoldjpg-6e48f7_1280w.jpg]Luke Evans Dracula[/link] was yummy. But [link=https://mightcontainspoilers.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/youngdracula1992.png]Gary Oldman[/link] is a classic. Also, this is so OT. :ban:

Then on mine I'll put a photo of Nadia Comaneci and Dracula! :rofl2: Just keep Dracula! That's going to look awesome! :rofl2: The Gary Oldman version?

I'll use a picture of Cristiano Ronaldo. He's a national symbol!

Its Japanese fan. The author said so. The article is a bit all over place. I think I read the similar one last year though. Thank you. I read it in my phone quickly so I probably missed that in my skimming, but the tone of the article kind of pointed that way. Still, as much as I admire the Japanese fans, their enthusiasm for all skaters and basically keeping figure skating afloat, I would have liked his international fans to also get a little bit of a shoutout.
