He really has no choice now if he wants to stay competitive. Hopefully it all works out for him.

 

Well technically, that's true but the question is how good is his 4Lo, and then there's the issue of actually putting it in competition and making it work there. It's an edge jump too and I wonder, especially after this season. 
Javier is in a pretty pickle really. It's a lot of pressure on him, considering he chose what he did for this past season. Of course, there's the question of the number of quads and does three with the 4Lo even mean anything. And yet, upping both the number of quads with a new one is very risky indeed. As I said in the Igloo I actually wonder if he's going to adopt the strategy of just getting used to the 4Lo and then somewhere in the middle, upping the number of quads themselves, so basically spacing it out. This also has its own risk really, because he has less time to get used to the timings of a four quad program. Pretty pickle indeed.

 

If he can of course, even if he's dodgy, he'll get the scores, so I think he's going to risk it in any case.

Here's an updated listing of the men's SP layout BVs. I will keep adding to this list and then make a consolidated list once most of the Top 10 men's layouts are known. 

 

*Nathan CHEN: 4Lz3T 4F // 3A BV: 53.15 (0.00)

Vincent ZHOU: 4Lz3T 4F // 3A BV: 53.15

Different spin types, which have different BVs. All these layout BVs assume all level 4s, of course.

This is the most likely scenario in this season. I dont think we will see Patrick do 4F and Javi do 4Lo in SP. Tbh they don't need it. There's some talk about Patrick's 4F but I don't see it happen. He will do 2 quad SP but the LP might be the same layout. He hasn't skated clean a 3 quads LP and hasn't landed all clean quads in LP so I don't think he will upgrade his free layout. Javi's 4lo in LP is more likely

 

Nathan may try to backload his 4F in 2nd half though.

Oh I agree, but... well... GS made me throw the kitchen sink at layout possibilities.

Oh I always love to see more options when its come to layout/BV :4chsmu1: *I love math* With the men's field these days, anything can happen. Thank you for spending time to do this :pbow:

Oh, I like doing these things when I'm procrastinating because it relaxes me. 

My productivity shoots to hell, of course, but we're entering slow Summer months anyway.

:whiteflag:Do you know why Chopin 2.0' layout in AC and SC 2015 was so different from its in later competitions? I have just noticed it this morning and wonder why? theirs begin with 3A as first jump

 

Chopin layout in AC/SC 2015 is the original layout (3A//4T 3lz3T) . In 2014/15 season he only attempted this layout at COC 2014 and have to change it (4T// 3A 3lz3T) because of injuries/collision. He went back to original layout at the beginning of 20155/16 season but after getting zayak at SC 2015, he decided to get rid of that lutz combo and upgrade it into 2 quads layout (4S 4T3T//3A)

Seems like Shoma tried 4Lz (but popped into 2Lz) in his sp at DOI.

(Not very much sure about his strategy. Will he dare to run the risk of being called for the sake of BV? Or has he corrected his edges already through the camp in Canada? He practiced 4Lz during WTT gala practice iirc, but seeing the video I didn't feel he would land it anytime soon.)
