Streaming party sounds fun! I'd join if the timing works for my schedule too. 

I am impatient and cannot usually watch the whole thing. If I see some very wooden performance or too cheesy, I tend to skip...

This time there will be a lively conversation next to the video so that should make it bearable

 

I hope many of our recent members can join, streaming parties are kinda a tradition on the site since its inception (the first one was the first broadcast of fantasy on ice in makuhari iirc) and it's tons of fun

Off-season is coming which means it's time to fill the emptiness with streaming parties

 

Since there are alot of new fans who may want to understand Yuzu's struggles and the importance of his achievements better @Fay had the idea to make season streaming parties but with a twist. We will be watching the last groups of some major events in Yuzu's skating life instead of just picking out his performances. It will give a much better idea of Yuzu's achievements to watch him in the full context of the mens field of the time, to see where is competitiors were standing in comparison to him, how they fueled him and how he ended up dominating the sport for such a long time. We count on both older fans and newer fans to participate so that it can become a learning experience! (I also count myself as a new fan here because I admittedly have only selectively watched other skaters' programs of earlier seasons and haven't been an FS fan for very long.)

 

So we thought we would start with Nice 2012 and see what competitions we can find in the following seasons. (If you know of competition uploads of full groups make sure to link them below.)

 

Since we will be busy for the coming weeks we thought it would be good to start after the parade end of April/beginning of May.

 

 

Great idea! I agree especially with the bolded part. When I saw the Patrick vs. Yuzu rivalry thread some time ago I thought this kind of streaming party would help both newer and older fans. I tried to make a list of competitions they compete together with videos but gave up posting it because basically, I don't feel comfortable joining the discussion on this forum as a huge fan of one of them. However, I thought these videos I found at that time might also be fun to watch together? Although these are pre-Nice, you can see the key players at that time at once, and Yuzu is super cute.

I actually thought the same yesterday, because I stopped my rewatch at CoR 2011, and next would be GPF 2011 :')

Spoiler

I watched some of SP, it's super confusing to my brain, he's there with Pooh next to Brian, but oh wait, his coach is Nanami Abe 😂

 

 

He didn't medal at this event thoough so I understand if we'll skip

Yes, he didn't medal here, but it doesn't mean his performances weren't good, and making it to the Final itself was an achievement for him at that time.

However, there are many other important competitions and these videos might have already taken up for discussion and dropped for a reason.

In that case, it's OK.

Sure, we can pull this before Nice and since the purpose of these streaming parties will be to give a better idea of Yuzu’s achievements it will lay a good ground to watch a competition first where Yuzu didn’t do as well. 

 

I’m wondering if we could watch both the GPF and Worlds in one streaming party but that would last around 1h 45min + 3h 30mins which is just too long...

 

I think what we could do different this off-season is instead of watching the same thing twice every weekend we could watch GPFs on Saturdays and Worlds’ on Sundays? (That’s of course if we can find all the videos for each season)

/whisper/ if you have enough people maybe you can also try your hand at re-scoring + having a tech panel

 

You know I would love a project like that but it might be a tad bit too much to do it along with the streaming parties, especially since the rules in the 11-14 quad were so different we could probably only score recent competitions anyway. How about making a separate project in Knickknacks for that so we're not only bound by men's events? I actually remember there were discussions to do a planet judging/technical panel before so we could revive that

 

I personally couldn't actively join bc I am far from knowledgable enough but I would love to learn from the sides.

Anyone knows how we can find the last group of the 2012 Worlds mens FS? Here it's blocked

Not so easy to find individual skaters, let me tell you.

Is this still on given it might only be slightly dry (what with CwW TV performances and FaoI)?

Oh it wasn't too hard! We'll just have to dealt with quality and commentary inconsistencies

Yes! I was thinking of making a doodle list now and plan for this weekend. Not a good idea yet?

 

We'll have to wait for a while until it gets really dry
