Proposed changes for next season
In all honesty, I think nothing's going to change. If you got a +3, now you'll be getting a +5.

Proposed changes for next season
Boyang: He should be getting them. Kolyada: Yes. Aliev: No, his technique is pretty terrible. Jason Brown: His technique is declining. His 3As should hardly be getting any +GOE under the current one. JunHwan: Gets too sloppy at times. Let's see. Nathan: Should be getting +3 tops. Pretty average quality toe-jump quads, and not-too-good edge ones. His 4F might get better than +3, though. Zhou: Let him fix his UR issues. He's one whose performances I've never managed to finish watching. Anyway, I think the top US man soon is going to be Alexei Krasnozhon. At least by the end of the quad, he will be.

There will be an adjustment phase. See: Yuna's GOEs when she was producing excellent quality jumping in 2007 as she was in 2010 Olys. Though one could argue she hadn't built up her reputation in 2007 yet.- Team China

This isn't a technique I've heard of before.- Proposed changes for next season
Ah, a two-fer. Smashing indeed.- Proposed changes for next season
What's a "serious error"? Place of birth, I'm assuming.- Proposed changes for next season
Shekhovtsova made it again. Cool. Cool, cool, cool. ETA: Like with a bad soap opera that has too many twists and turns, the real outcome is better: She didn't make it again.- Proposed changes for next season
Yeah, but I doubt they'd do this, when a quad+GOE SoV advantage is much higher, now. And anyone with more than three quads doesn't need this at all. I guess for the "lower" tier men it might be true, but even they'd still probably prefer the quad advantage.- Proposed changes for next season
There's this weird notion that we might see more -3Lo combos with the men. Can someone explain? Certainly not with any of the top men, unless they really want to do a 3A-3Lo, or smash their hips.- Proposed changes for next season
Yeah, I maybe should have said "realistically" maxed out. Maybe. I just don't remember a clean attempt at all in the second half (which is where I'd expect most repeated quads to be). 3A is obligatory? Yeah, I'm probably messing up there. 4Lz-3T 4F 4Lo 4Lz ===== 4S 4T--1Lo-3F 3A-3T Seems about right, though has he ever attempted a -1Lo-3F out of a 4T? But the 4S in the second half isn't always too clean either... This kid's a wild card.- Proposed changes for next season
Well I guess I did say max layout. But the problem is, I don't think I remember a single clean attempt of the 4Lz or the 4F in the second half for the bonus, and wouldn't it actually come much later here? Though I guess the program could be choreographed in a way that makes sure he gets out the first four quads very quickly in the first half, and then waits for the second half to attempt the 4Lz (and it won't really affect his PCS).- Proposed changes for next season
Nathan's max layout, without the 3A (assuming he brings back his edge quads): 4F 4Lz-3T 4Lo 4S ===== 4T 4T-3T 3Lz-1Lo-3F A truck if he hits. I'm not too expectant, however.- Proposed changes for next season
Lord I hope not. Nope, it's an amalgamation of what his fans say about him and all the ballet he's done.- Proposed changes for next season
Oh, come on, not ALL ballet arms. Only the sexy ones.- Proposed changes for next season
You're almost foolishly optimistic, I guess.- Proposed changes for next season
Still don't think the tights rule is relevant or useful. Ugly stuff. And they could have spent time trying to, you know, think about how dumb removing steps before solo jumps in SPs is.- Proposed changes for next season
Well, yes. It's the same in ladies and with their 2As. It's because they are no longer "worth it".- Proposed changes for next season
Yes, but now his advantage is bare minimum. Xen hasn't done the calculations, but I think both Boyang and Shoma are pretty close to him. I think they would come up to 101-102. So his advantage of ~15 points in BV is now just around 2 points, 4 at most. - Proposed changes for next season
