    Funny tweet I found and IT FITS SO WELL!!!!

    TIL: Yuzu is a dolphin.
  3. xeyra
    Accurate.

    Yeah, I just came across it on twitter. The english version of that article is here:

    That was my favorite part. He looked awesome and the BG music was epic.

    I can't even predict my less invested discipline, Ice Dance, because I seriously have no idea who might win between V/M and P/C.
  7. xeyra
    They did the same for the ladies (and probably pairs and ice dance too). Maybe it's a way to promote the GP. I just find it a bit unecessary to edit a video that'll change in 3 weeks.

    Don't quite know why ISU is doing this now when we've still 3 GPs to go but did they do something similar last GP? Yuzu is currently in 4th place in the standings.
  9. xeyra
    No one is going to find me predicting for Olys. No. Nope.

    Yuzu was spiderman before Boyang even dreamed of it!

    I can check them out too and see if there's anything that should be corrected, but to be honest with Nathan and Vincent it's super hard to have specific BVs because they change their layouts ALL the DAMN time. And even Shoma is catching that bug lately.

    Seriously, this was an anti-climatic arrival at Osaka, with only one photo. Japanese media was probably asleep by then.
  13. xeyra
    I think Yuzu's max BV planned is actually 111.26 in the FS? And 51.01 in the SP.
  14. xeyra
    LOL. PChiddy gets a whole Act for himself. And how cute is that 2012 NHK spin fail from Yuzu? D'awww, I wanna pinch his cheeks. I really liked the ending with Sasha Cohen's spin fail because she fell right into an ending pose!

    This is actually a good point, thank you. So this brings into question even more what happened at Skate Canada in terms of Shoma's and Patrick's SS scores, which had only a 0.10 difference (Patrick's 9.39 to Shoma's 9.29) in the SP and which Shoma won in the FS. Because when you confront someone like Patrick - who excels at deep edges and rhythmic knee action but is able to maintain the quality of those aspects while doing less crossovers and two-foot skating - with Shoma, then it seems unfair that at SC Patrick lost the SS component in the FS, regardless of his mistakes. Because those mistakes were mostly related to popping and losing BV; he had only 1 fall, it's not like he was unable to demonstrate his skills because he was falling all over the place, like at GPF, for example. There's absolutely no differentiation, and in fact it's not in his favor even, between Patrick's SS and Shoma's SS, despite the first maintaining his SS quality while meeting more SS criteria than the latter. But his TES was low and Shoma's was higher, so that was what sealed the deal.

    Yeah, this reminds me of how certain judges scored Nathan higher or the same in SS as Patrick at 4CC, which was my first real time conflict with scoring since I first began following FS last season. Or how some gave the same in SS to Nathan and Yuzu at CoR, for example. I feel like if judges like you or you skate cleanish or better than someone else with better SS, it doesn't really matter and some will over reward you. This because judges don't have time to do the research that is done by fans. They have 4mins and 30s to evaluate and they may just wing it according to TES, politics or personal liking.

    How much should one-foot skating weigh on the overall criteria for skating skills, though, comparatively to the other criteria? Shoma excells in other criteria of SS, like rhytmic knee action, flow and effortless glide, and deep edges; much better than Nathan in my opinion. He over relies on crossovers and two-foot skating according to these counts, so I guess 10s should be out of the question for him in this component, but what we see is that judges value the things he does well over the things he doesn't do as much of. Which doesn't encourage him much to change things in the FS but he has shown improvement in the SP in this! But, in the end, how much should he be punished for the two criteria he doesn't excel at as well compared to those he does? These are the criteria for Skating Skills score: After seeing how short his choreographic sequence is and what it involves, I'd be more concerned about him getting +3 on that over low 9s in his SS. And I say this as someone who really likes the cantilever moment.

    As long as they skip Yuzu. Pls.

    Satoko Miyahara: Overcoming injury, on to the next stage http://tinyqueensatoko.tumblr.com/post/167228152988/satoko-miyahara-overcoming-injury-on-to-the-next The above is a translation of this video:
  20. xeyra
    Thank you so much for the clarification! I'm hoping so much that he does manage to skate this clean and deliver all this difficulty with the amazing quality he is capable of, at the very least on the Olympics individual men event. I'll settle for progressive improvement until then.
  21. xeyra
    It's never too late to join in. You may not catch up in total points but you can win individual events! Or lose and cry like us.
  22. xeyra
    Yeah, the fixing the second half is in general, pops and landings included. Mostly I just want him to get that damn 4T1Lo3S already!
  23. xeyra
    Satoko received a book of messages from fans! Edit: Translation of Satoko's blog post: http://tinyqueensatoko.tumblr.com/post/167227687068/blog-post-at-last

    Intellectually, I feel like if he fixes his second half popping this early season, it'll help a lot, even with a shaky first half. Time until February will fix his success rate incorporating the 4Lz and 4Lo together, but he needs to stop popping his second half. Then he'll be good to go. Sentimentally, I'm hopeful but always nervous.
  25. xeyra
    Probably not with lower BV on jumps. And I'm not sure Yuzu (or anyone) would be getting +5 on any jumps. Maybe his 3A. If there's a jump that deserves all the GOE.....
