    Yo sigo esperando a ver si al final se decide a hacer algún show, por si sale a probar programas nuevos. Aunque al paso que vamos me da que va a seguir en modo ninja un tiempo más y nos quedamos en ascuas XD
  2. Valkyria
    Oh, news from ninja-land! Good to see :D
  3. Valkyria
    Yeah, when ever I see that or this lovely Lambiel 2006 Turin outfit I have to wonder what they were thinking. Oh my god. The magical zebra. Truly a classic [/nostalgia] (It's still terrible, though :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:)

    And it completely undermines what has been done on ice. THAT Worlds FS wasn't enough for them? He scaled a very high wall and threw down the gauntlet. The main contenders had the door wide open and a big bowl of candy by the foyer. It's not Yuzuru's fault that they didn't pickup the gauntlet. Only Boyang did, but alas his PCS is not at that level yet. That's why I think Boyang Jin has a big chance to podium at Pyeongchang. EXACTLY! Yuzuru did as much as anyone could have done with the situation he was in. Most of his direct rivals went into the FS ahead of him, especially Shoma and Javi, so if they'd made just a little less mistakes that would've been it. But that's competition for you: you have a handful of minutes and that's it; many things can happen, and you get no do-overs. Boyang's grown on me a lot this season. It's a pity he gets mostly overlooked, I'm very much with you on him being a very serious podium contender for PC.

    My thoughts exactly. The only thing that counts in competition is what you actually do on the ice, not what you could have done. Pointing out trends in how subjective scores are given (be it GOEs or PCs) is one thing, but if someone flubbed a 3F they flubbed a 3F. End of discussion. But whatever: people will be people and there's always going to be somebody trying to excuse their fave. It's the double standard that bugs me.

    La gente que espera que los patinadores top hagan programas limpios casi siempre no tiene ni idea de patinaje, me temo. En cuanto uno es consciente de lo difíciles que son estos programas, con tantos quads y complejidad, se da cuenta de que es muy fácil fallar en algo. Lo malo es que a Yuzu siempre le va a pesar NHK/GPF 2015: lo hizo dos veces seguidas, así que ahora ya muchos toman la perfección como estándar para juzgarle y todo lo que sea menos que eso es un mal programa :problem: En fin, que a mí me gustaría volver a ver LGC en cualquier formato porque me encanta, pero todo lo nuevo que quiera sacar es bienvenido :wink:

    What if we replaced the overalls with just jeans? ...lumberjack Yuzu, anyone? Only if it comes attached with a beard. Between this and the manip, I just got whiplash. Stick to the sparkles and all will be well, Yuzu, please :rofl2: :rofl2: :rofl2:

    Oh that's for sure. I don't know anyone who was once a fan and then un-Hanyu'ed :ohno: I feel like you don't even have to BECOME a fan. If he catched your eye the first time you saw him, sooner or later you will end up deep in Yuzufeels. This is exactly my strategy when trying to convert my friends. They may not have fallen as deep in the hole as I have, but now they want updates and always ask me for videos when he competes :thumbup:

    La GPF y el Mundial son los mejores (sí, a pesar de la combinación. El muchacho estaba ON FIRE). Yo espero que el comentario de ser malo en los cortos fuera cosa de que estaba el Mundial muy reciente, porque él precisamente tiene buen historial con ellos. Además, hay que tener en cuenta que LGC es un programa complejísimo, lo que sumado a que los SP no perdonan cualquier fallo se puede magnificar un montón.
  10. Valkyria
    A mí es que LGC me encanta: tiene tanta energía, tanta chispa... Es una pena que problemas con los saltos le hayan costado tan caro a veces y le deje mal sabor de boca, porque el programa en sí es una joya (y, de cara a los juegos, vía rápida para que el público casual se enganche con él). Pero vamos, que si lo cambia yo no me voy a quejar de que nos dé más programas para la posteridad :grin:
  11. Valkyria
    ^^ That's the thing with Yuzu: did he fall? Was he just chillin' on the ice? We'll never know: he's too photogenic and it looks the same :rofl2:

    In my case, I'd always liked skating, but casually. The "catches it on tv and leaves it on" kinda fan. Then I really got into it for the olympics at Vancouver, joined the old fandom @ LJ communities, the complete shebang. After that, most of my favs started r***ng (Lambiel, Weir), but... there was Javi. I was so happy to see someone from my country fighting his way through the sport, so he made me keep up with everything, keep on learning and getting to know the next generation of skaters. And the more I watched, the more aware I became of others, like the Japanese kid with the amazing 3A :wink: Then Nice happened, I got suckerpunched by Romeo right in the feels and the rest is history :space:

    Since we're enjoying the white pants: one of my favs. He just loooks so... cheeky :grin: [image]http://imgur.com/6QbFQQU.jpg[/image]
  14. Valkyria
    EXACTO. Es que encima R&J 1.0 es uno de los programas más característicos de Yuzu, mucha gente lo asocia a él (los que orbitamos el Planeta Hanyu por defecto no contamos, que nosotros hasta vemos la coreo de Yuzu XDD). Como tú dices, confío en que cualquier pieza que elija la hará suya, pero si me evita las más típicas se lo agradeceré mucho :pbow: No hace falta ver una película para conocer/que te sugieran la música, por desgracia. Pero esta vez sólo era un ejemplo del lo que podría ser el peor caso XD

    Veo que Hydro está reclutando a más gente para La Iglesia... :grin: Por lo demás, en mi caso es verdad que tiendo a seguir los debates y postear más en inglés, pero cualquier cosa que queráis comentar por aquí yo me apunto también. Y bienvenida al foro, ladycomyn!! Yo no doy mucho crédito a los rumores de cambio de coreógrafo, de momento todo ha salido de una publicación bastante amarillista y no hay fuente seria. Si al final cambia sus motivos tendrá, y creo que Yuzu ha demostrado ser una persona muy inteligente y analítica hasta ahora: me fío bastante de su criterio XD En cuanto a música... uf. Miedito me da el gran regreso de los warhorses con la temporada olímpica. Con que no escoja algo súper típico me conformo (nada de La La Land, porfaplis :rant:)
  16. Valkyria
    Um, nope, that's a 3A all right. All this talk of the mythical 4A is scrambling everybody's brains XDDDD
  17. Valkyria
    "To no one's surprise", indeed. It was a given XDDD
  18. Valkyria
    They can certainly try, but I don't think it will go well for most of them :rofl2: (I don't really dislike the blue FTT. And the sleeves make his hand gestures look beautiful :love:)
  19. Valkyria
    I see #1 Yuzu uber is in da haus...
  20. Valkyria
    I see what you mean :think: The fabric's definitely a bit heavier and doesn't drape in the same way, but I think the gold cut-outs at the sides are what's contributing the most to changing the shape. It's never gonna fall in a straight line when it's got a triangle of different fabric and seams giving it more structure, hence the bunching. Case in point (you can really see it when he's not in motion): [image]http://imgur.com/VFl96Yu.jpg[/image]

    x Good to see Yuzu's not fighting alone, after all.
  22. Valkyria
    Nice to see so many people on the Chopin 2.0 squad #REPRESENT :grin: [image]http://imgur.com/NLGX5W8.jpg[/image] (He still looks like a prince on the ice no matter what he wears, tho) EDIT: image credit to [link=http://www.danielleearlphotography.com/]Danielle Earl Photography[/link]

    Exactly. iirc there could be points deduction if parts of costume fall on the ice during competition. This is what always I think looking at closeups of Yuzu costumes. I am not completely sure but maybe the costume with most rhinestones is the Requiem one. Requiem is a masterpiece, wheter one likes it or not. It's so intricate and has so much detail And yes, you're gonna get dinged if you leave anything on the ice. So I'm actually quite curious about how they attach all the bling, since the end result has to be comfortable, resistant to sweat and washings, etc. I'm sure whatever method they use has them going one by one anyway (and that's a big job in his case XD)
  24. Valkyria
    Whoever it is... KUDOS :bow: Not only are they abundant (lol), but I guess they have to be secure enough to not risk them falling everywhere on the ice, which could be dangerous.
  25. Valkyria
    ...okay, am I the only one who prefers Chopin 2.0? XDDD Both are gorgeous, but I really dig the gold accents, the lighter blue and the gold belt (better contrast with the rest of the ensemble)
