The worst part is if he decides to repeat both of his programs. Our costume discussion creativity would probably cut into half and wouldn't be able to fill in the Yuzu deficiency syndrome

Well we could always play the -lets watch the movie and then design out own costumes - game, in words or picture. Of course, since I'd end up drawing a stick figure, I'd have to go for words but we can be creative! And we can always pass it off as summer heat, it's not our fault we lost it.

I just hope that in Kobe FaoI will hear more news - make it rumours - about his LP, SEIMEI or otherwise. A new horse to beat up till autumn.

I meant to comment earlier but yeah, I think this is the original version that's the prototype for Chopin 3.0. I think aside from the second half, the main difference for me is how he enters his first two spins, since he actually does some steps/choreography before going into the first spin, which matches the music more. However, I wonder if he's trying to change that a bit so the first half isn't an exact copy of this. Regardless, there's plenty of time still for modifications.

 

Yep, the steps and choreography into the two first spins is much better - I don't doubt though that there will be more transitions and choreography for Chopin 3.0, it is still early days.

 

Still a bit unsure what I think of the two first spins though in terms of timing, the second one works much better here with the music. The first though... I don't know. The entry into it is good but I don't think it really matches the music as well as Chopin 2.0 does in terms of the spins. The piano builds quite a lot and it isn't reflected. I'm liking the timing of the jumps here, it isn't matched perfectly in execution here but I can see what they are going for (and the same therefore goes for Chopin 3.0) but hopefully the middle part of the program will come to be more responsive to the music. Haha, I'm being very pedantic though - Yuzuru's programs are still generally some of the most well matched in terms of music and movement in my opinion.

 

Also talking of Chopin 1.0, Yuzuru's 3A at Skate Canada 2015,  a performance I suspect is a bit overlooked due to his mistakes in it is absolutely fantastic - it is huuuuuge and the lenght of the spread eagles

Guys, I just dreamed about Yuzu skated to LGC and broke his world record.  ;;;-;;; The score was around 113 and the rink looked like a rock concert stage with the audience watching from below lol. Too bad I suddenly woke up and couldn't get back to sleep but the excitement when the score came up is still left.

Oh damn. That might be... actually... the best 3A I've ever seen? I'm in love. Send help.

I'd propose ISU to add these to the changes for the year after the Olympics: add a grade of execution after 3. Call it "Yuzuru's 2-meters-long-3A".

Of course, any of these BV situations will pale in comparison to the 122 BV Nathan might have with a 7-quad offering, but I'm not sure it's a sure bet he could land that kind of layout cleanly with positive GOE. As for Shoma, his planned WTT layout was around 107 BV and with an added 4S or 4Lz might put him around 111 or close to 115 BV respectively (if he goes for that). I'm not sure if Boyang will go for something similar to his attempted 4CC layout or if he'd go even further and add two 4Lz alongside the 4Lo (and/or go for 6 quads). His BV either way might be between 111 to 116. If Javi goes for a 4Lo, his initial layout will be slightly lower than Yuzu's last season because Javi doesn't backload as much. Patrick will likely not change his FS BV much (but is adding a 4S to his SP). 

 

So all in all, Yuzu will very likely not be able to catch up in BV with the younger generation, but he can try and make the gap a bit shorter from his current 103+. 4Lz provides that and a lot of layout freedom too. So here's crossing our fingers it all works out for him this summer and further on to the Olympics.

I am sure judges and specialists won't let Shoma add the 3.25 Flutz and call it 4lz with true lutzers like Nathan, Boyang, Kolyada, and even Vicent around. His team surely is opening a can of worms if they think he can get away with that flutz.

 

as for Yuzuru's layout, I think it's possible that he can go for 115 BV if he can practice that 4T3lo or 3A3Lo combo. He will have whole summer for it. And his 4T and 3A are pretty much consistent.

Not going to add to the layout talk because I think everything's been said for the amount of information we have as of now, but I enjoyed reading through all the discusion

OMG his outside edge spread eagles into and out of the 3A are absolutely fantastic. 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!"

 Not really, fans are posting already  costume ideas for  Chopin 3.0  on Twitter. And even if he repeats both programs the creativity of this fandom is unbeatable.

I'm imagining a costume that is very different than chopin 2.0 (frankly I don't like the gold cutouts), but still blue, ofc

I hope he keeps the billowy sleeves though because those are beautiful 

[Anony]

Everyone is happy 

But, is anyone interested in actually sketching out their ideas for possible costumes for fun? I know there's plenty floating around Twitter already, but I always thought those are fun to look at
