The problem then would be this: 4Lo 4S 3F // 4S3T 4T 3A2T 4T1Lo3S 3Lz - BV: 105.41 (+1.98) It's not that much of an upgrade compared to what the youngsters will be adding in, and he already is behind on both SP and FS BV to all of the sQuad, including Shoma. Edit: Now this, would be a different matter... 4Lz 4Lo 3F // 4S3T 4T 3A2T 4T1Lo3S 3A - BV: 111.26 (+7.83)

Technically, Shoma's layout at Worlds would have been 105.14 BV, if he got all his spins at level 4 (he missed a level at Worlds). The difference with Yuzu's BV would have been 1.71 in that case. However, for WTT he included a 4F2T combo in the second half (BV 107.34), which would make the difference with Yuzu's BV 3.91. If Shoma adds a 4Lz, removes the 3Lz, goes for 5-quads and otherwise keeps the layout as it is, his BV could be 114.94 (4Lz 4Lo 4F // 3A3T 4F2T 4T 3A1Lo3F 3S). Higher than any BV iteration Yuzu might have with his 4Lz, actually. Of course, there's always the possibility the BV would lower with edge and/or UR calls on his 4Lz. Or that he won't go for 5 quads at all.

Yes, there's no doubt about it. It's the 'best' weapon he has against Yuzu and Nathan. Even though I'm not sure how his 4Lz will work out... I kind of want to see his attempts at PIW to see if he's keeping the outside edge or if it would be !/e. Here are some calculations, assuming all in first half and applying the GOE as per rules (but those are not likely to always be applied): 3Lz BV 6.00 This is assuming no underrotation call (<), which would further lower the BV of the jump.

(I know, but Zorro made for a great joke lol) Oh, but I would so love if it was Zorro, tbqh. The Mask of Zorro OST has some nice themes. :smile: -

Other Skaters' 2017/18 program announcements

Zorro isn't technically a famous 'Spanish' character, since he was a Californio, born in the Americas. I think too it's going to be Don Quijote, with Man of La Mancha as a big possibility, though it's not exactly Spanish (it was composed and written by Americans and later translated into other languages). -
The fact that he had to train a quad in a packed rink really drives home how hard it must have been for him to practice when he was younger.
-
Shoma said at PIW ice show that his Turandot choreography will be completely new. He hadn't even learned it all yet. Not sure though if it'll also be a different musical cut.
-
What if we replaced the overalls with just jeans? ...lumberjack Yuzu, anyone? Only if it comes attached with a beard.

Pros: +huge increase in base value +not too many changes. He did 3A-3T a couple of times in competition. 4Lz is the only new jump +We know he can execute 4 quads in FS (he did it 3(?)times: 4CC, WC, WTT), +he has enough stamina to execute this kind of program, +other elements won't suffer that much, Cons: -adding a new jump during Oly season is risky -we don't know if his edge on 3F won't suffer because of 4Lz (and those 2 jumps are quite close to each other) -with 4Lz, there is a bigger risk of injuring his landing foot -no rippon :cry: It's my favorite as well. And doesn't even require that much of a change in his layout except to add a new jump. As for the cons, I highlight the 3F part, which is a good point. But if he does it after the Step Sequence as he already does now, it might not be too close together, and doesn't he already do the circular-turns-step-choreography-thingie ( :grin: ) to keep his inside edge? And the landing foot issue is problematic too, yes. As is the fact he has a deeper outside edge on his 4Lz than his 3Lz even, which may put more pressure on the left foot. Plus the back problems that apparently are already plaguing Mikhail Kolyada. Plus... Every jump is a risk, though.

Is it me or are the emojis in a different place now in the reply field (on top instead of on the right)? If it was a recent change, might I suggest it go back to the way it was before? Having so many emojis between the bbcode tags and the text field isn't the most tidy of arrangements.

So, resuming the talk on layouts, here's a breakdown of possibilities that I can remember for both SP and FS. Original SP 4Lo 4S3T // 3A - BV: 49.75 Original FS 4Lo 4S 3F // 4S3T 4T 3A2T 3A1Lo3S 3Lz - BV: 103.43 I haven't even considered taking out the 3F and keeping the 3Lz... or a -3Lo combo So what can we figure out from these BV calculations? - Adding a 4Lz in the FS, even if nothing else changes and even if he only does 4 quads, in itself already gives him an over 6-point BV difference to his current layout. - The difference between a 5-quad layout to a 4-quad layout with 4Lz is only about 1.43-1.65, unless he repeats 4Lo. - Losing one 3A to get 5 quads in a non-4Lz layout doesn't bring that much of an advantage, unless he repeats 4Lo. - Total original BV is 153.18. If he were to use the lowest BV layout with 4Lz in both SP and FS, he would gain about 8 points in BV. Which one do you think he'd go for? Speculate. Alternative layouts I haven't thought of?

I unashamedly love the NDP costume, cross and all. He looks like a twig in it, though. I feel like he would use it so much better now he's put on more muscle.
-
I think his mother is here: 15-year-old Yuzu. Mom hand-making Zigeunerweisen costume designed by Johnny Weir for his senior debut. Lots of love going into that costume. Did you spell that from memory or did you have to, like all normal human beings, copy paste it from somewhere?
-
Not enough sparkle.

Does this mean Lori Nichol is doing the choreo? That would be a shocker. After the Battle Royale of choreographers between DW and SLB, which left both too bloody to finish a damn thing, Lori tiptoed into TCC to offer her services. To the theme of Man of Steel. For variety, you see.

Yuzu's new costume for next season. Seems familiar...

Throwback to Young!Yuzu, the fashion disaster (sorry, Mama!Hanyu) [image]http://www.newhdwallpapers.in/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Yuzuru-Hanyu-2016-HD-Wallpapers.jpg[/image] Source: Google Images. Google directs me to GS and due to recent changes there, it doesn't lead anywhere anymore.
-
Well, maybe they could both choreo together Yuzu's program and everyone would be happy!
-
Glorious! May the Force 4th be with all of us.
-
And two of them with quads :wink: :s_wacko World has gone bananas.
-
Patrick was even more unsubtle than Yuzu can be and I thought that was hard!
-
Dabin impressed me so much at 4CC and Worlds. I really liked her. Looking forward to seeing what she does next season.

Photo no3 deserve a place on the Planet Hanyu Boner planet what We don't talk about that in the public forum, people... *tip toes out*

By the time we had the Barcelona GPF in the anime I'd been lurking in the other forum for a while and researched as much as I could about FS so that when the SP and FS episodes came about, I was about ready to throw a tantrum about stupid, impossible scoring, but others did it for me first. :rofl2: But yeah, because I kind of fell in love with the sport itself, and especially with certain skaters by the real GPF, the initial shine of the anime faded a bit in terms of wanting to actually follow it as a fandom (I read fanfic for a couple of weeks after it ended but the interest kind of fizzled out). I'll watch the new movie coming up and any seasons that may come, but I'm far more likely to read tl;dr posts about Figure Skating than I am to read YOI meta, so that kind of seals where my interests primarily lay.
