Masterpieces never get old, and he always skates his programs as if they were anew. I support him in every way. Link to comment
airi Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Tbh I'm excited for this. The only annoying thing will be all those complainers who will point out about how he recycles again. But who cares, really, can't wait for new Chopin and Seimei! Link to comment

Its the Grand Slam thing! That is why he chose to skate to those two! Boy oh boy, this guy! Link to comment
liv Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Nathan's choreo seq has been very impactful and gets the audience reaction more so than any other part of his program... Origin's choreoseq doesn't have the same impact, but Seimei's def does... I would say it * brings it home*.... so it is a better match up. Excited to see the program changes with the time diff.

Sad thing is that Nathan's choreo sq is "so impactful" mostly because it's such a contrast to the emptiness of everything before it. Fact that you can perform only in 10-15 seconds of 4 minutes program and still get high 9 in PCS is so unfair and annoying. Link to comment
rubyblue Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Also, of course there will be a lot of criticism becuase of repeating old programs. But if you look into details, Yuzuru's programs are actually real 4-minutes programs (still having 4-5 quads), when Nate (and most other quadsters) has a new program every season, but this program it's actually starting pose + step sq + choreo sq, so it's like 30-40 seconds of new stuff and some choreography, the composition of the rest is just jumps, spins (which are not special, just done correctly), crossovers and simple hands movements - no dynamic, no emotions, no complexity in terms of performance and no story-telling in that part at all. I don't think we will ever see Nathan perform to some difficult piece of music (like Rachmaninoff, Chopin or anything with this kind of complexity). He doesn't have skills and skating charisma to handle music like that. He goes for much more simply composed pieces to create some short-time excitment by easy tricks. In fact, he doesn't recycle, becuase those programs don't have enough impact to create excitment longer than one season and don't have ingridients to longer development. Link to comment

Yes, I think so. At COR he landed 4lutz but then tripled 4loop if I remember well Link to comment

Yes, you are absolutely right. It is in the documentary made right after CoR2017, when he was mischieviously sipping a CocaCola, in the airport if I am not mistaking, and explaining how delighted he was to put together such a daring layout. But I am no computer savvy and am incapable to find it right now. Maybe some more skilled and industrious fanyus here will, I hope. Link to comment

Fun fact is that in last junior season and first senior season it seemed like he has the potential to be a complete skater, but later it became all about quads and really why bother if you get candies like this?

In Nathan's Camel spins the free leg completely hangs down most of the time. I wonder, if that hits the technical requirement at all. When I see skaters like Jason, Yuzu or Roman getting lower GOE for their exemplary spins, it feels like a terrible joke. Link to comment

Exactly, they chose strategy. It's been working well so why risk to change it? It doesn't work for most of the audience, but who cares. Maybe they will start to care when Yuzu'll retire and audience won't be there no longer though ( by "they" - I mean ISU people who create the frames of the sport by sending the message what is rewarded at the time) Link to comment
