Yes. True Lutzers bends their knee to keeps the outside edge and it creates that kind of bending shape. While Fluzters always straighten their legs at take off.

You mentioned before he is now even having the leg position correctly. Link to comment
Étudeesque Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 This looks adorable and made me laugh love her Yuzuru cartoons, does anyone have a translation - I think Yuzuru "older" and "younger" are discussing the 4A? Link to comment

meoima Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 @meoima, could you do Yuzu's Lip and true-ish!Flip comparison? You mentioned before he is now even having the leg position correctly. I am kinda lazy now, it's time for my skincare routine lol. But this is Yuzuru when his Flip was still meh, this was at JWC 2010, he got flat ! call for it): http://imgur.com/6CdF0gd You see his outside edge? And even if you do not look at his edge, you see his left leg was not straightened, this was when he's 15. And look at the close-up here in 2017: http://imgur.com/7FfH7cK Gif: https://media.giphy.com/media/LNHRbLTxb6sF2/giphy.gif You see at the take-off, his left leg was straightened a bit right at the take-off. That's the improvement. That straight leg even just for a half second means it's a Flip. You can feel the motion pulling to the right (and inside). Or you can say his left leg is slightly straightened. So it is counted as an acceptable Flip. One more thing, Yuzuru has NO pre-rotation in the Flip and Lutz, that's why it's possible for him to correct the edge in the Flip. Blade of Passion often complains that Yuzuru makes his Lutz too hard because he has ZERO pre-rotation. But actually, it's this Zero pre-rotation helps him to get ok Flip now. He pulls himself up too quick before the Flip slight inside edge can rock to the outside. Link to comment

liv Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 ah, the walley... didn't realize Yuzu had tried that. When I see him doing certain moves, like the single axel, the last spin in H/L, the walley into a jump... you can tell he is working with Brian, who used all of those exact same moves, kind of signature moves, lol, when he was skating.

GoldYuzu Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Even his 4Lz didn't have a prerotation and that deep outside edge was to die for Link to comment

One more, Shoma's fluzt that rarely gets called e: http://imgur.com/7PgRlz5 You and mcq so much on this subject you know. Tell me why the judges of the bad edges don't see (sometimes can they joke that they don't see?), and is officially about it quietly? It's so very frustrating Link to comment
