I think the number was like 1200+ visitors, and I was like "do we have something going on?" But then, nope, the thread was actually slow and without news Anyways, guys pls don't kill me. I was rewatching the Sochi 2014 fancams and suddenly I fell in love? with the boobskirt full of rhinestones Yuzu juliet costume I was never a hater of that costume, but it suddenly looked so beautiful when Yuzu took a pic with the Japan's flag wearing it. The rhinestones were full of blings and Yuzu was literally glowing What I felt was so severe that I just hoped he would skate Chopin 3.0 with the blue version of that costume I really need some Yuzu's updates, this deficiency syndrome has ruined my brain ETA: this is the culprit Link to comment

Look at that sustained turnout and the curve on the ice he gets with it @koneko you must see his spread eagles in the vid above! You can marry his turnout since I got his Vaganova fingers! His triple axel there reminds me of the one he did at Worlds FS 2012 . The Russian commentator..."Wow wow! My goodness! What a 3A. Maybe he can even jump 4A! Wow!" (cause of death: myocardial infarction due to excessive lack of oxygen resulting from Acute Yuzu Perfectitis Syndrome) I shamefully admit that I did unspeakable things to the replay button . So beautiful...his turnout on the SEs is goals and shows off his amazing edges when he cuts circles through the ice. I can't possibly marry such perfection...I'm not worthy that Russian commentator will be telling everyone "I told you so!" when Yuzu lands that 4A Link to comment

Is repeating Chopin 3.0 with 4Lo, 3A, 4T-3T politicking-proof? I think it's open to commentators, rival feds, etc to create a narrative of "Where's the wow factor?" If you ask me specifically how that impacts scoring, I couldn't tell you, but I believe it makes a difference. Frank Carroll and Joe Inman laid the foundation for Lysacek's gold with "Plushenko has no transitions." It's a season-long political campaign. Including the 4Lz demolishes the attack from "newer, fresher, younger, harder." "Where's the wow factor?" Yes, that's exactly what I believe the narrative will be. Actually, I fear it will be even worse than that but I won't go there, just hope for the best for him. Link to comment

A lot of skaters are repeating programs, and yes, Chopin had its own baggage, not to repeat again but we haven't seen even a glimpse of the LP. I expect that to be a corker and the wow factor.

Actually, I fear it will be even worse than that but I won't go there, just hope for the best for him. It's not like there was any wow factor in Zhenia's programs, yet she still scored well. Commentators can say anything, but when he performs well, they will just shut up. Most commentators have goldfish memories and many of them just kiss the trend as the season goes. Not that I want to talk them down, but they're just that. Most of them frankly. Especially when he is the reigning WC and OGM, they won't talk him down, unlike the season ago when they acted like he's done and "have we seen the best from him already". I am sure this Olympic season when they need a lot of publicity, they will just have some nice words. If you ask me why... been there, done that. I have watched their commentary for years.

At this point I am hoping that Max is right and it is Seimei 2.0. It may sound a little bit contradictory but considering Max was specific about music alterations too, I would say this is something perfect for the Olympics. That would be the wow factor all right! It'd carry the crowd from start to finish and I think he really gets into the character perfectly. Link to comment

We've seen Yuzu skate a great Chopin even when upset. But he can't do a really good LGC when upset. It's harder to force yourself to smile and entertain when you're having a bad day. But those are just a matter of perspective. Sorry I missed this but from the perspective of someone who has had to perform on bad days, whether in class or rehearsal or a show and seen many others perform on bad days too, it depends. What is easier for you? To put a fake smile on your face and pretend to be a different person or character no matter what you are feeling? Or to connect to a piece of music and be honest with it? To put your heart on your sleeve and let it be judged by an audience even if you're not at your best? Both are difficult. Most times, for me, it's easier to hide my emotions and pretend to be someone else because at that moment, I am not me having a bad day but a rock star or a fairy or a princess. However, when I connect to a piece and love it, then on bad days, it becomes a sort of refuge or armor. No matter what I was feeling before, I can let myself truly feel the music because the piece will make me feel beautiful and strong in my dancing. Maybe this is what Yuzu feels when he performs Chopin. 42 minutes ago, koneko said: (cause of death: myocardial infarction due to excessive lack of oxygen resulting from Acute Yuzu Perfectitis Syndrome) I shamefully admit that I did unspeakable things to the replay button .
