A very smooth combo, with appropriate speed and high difficulty.
Fitz:

Difficulty 3/5
Speed 4/5
Smoothness 4.5/5

I felt this combo could have done with more tricks at the top of the hand (such as thumb tricks and

baks).

Ok, first off, you probably think the difficulty score is really harsh, so let me explain it. I found that while there were some hard moves (I liked the MA > Pass > RA) most of the combo was made up of the same charge, pass, and sonic combos that are ver yeasy to perform. Also I took off one point because you used a Dr. KT, not that I think it's a bad pen, however it does make this type of spinning significantly easier, hence hurting your difficulty score. Speed wise and smoothness were of course very good, but not quite perfect, 4/5. Agaub, I didn't think it was that creative, mostly the same mini charge pass combos and a few interesting around tricks. Filming was pretty nice, liked the angle, but some more light wouldv'e been nice. And the variety score was also very low due to the fact that you not only used charge passes mainly but you even reused the same minicombos of those. The only thing that really
stood out for me at all here was the MA > Pass > RA.

I prefered this combo over fitz's for a few reasons. I found it rather dificult given the nature of the tricsused, especially the ending. Less charge passes and more interesting around combinations, as well as spinning (I believe) a Bictory Metalic. Again, it was very smooth and fast. About average for creativity as it had some interesting minicombos but also had a good deal of spam and common moves. Filming was also good, though slightly lower quality than fitz and I took off half a point due to the FL TA rev at the beginning, which could have easily been edited out. Variety was nice, you used a lot of different tricks. Nothing really out there using odd spins and a bit repeditive with all the t12 bits. Also the use of charge pass combos was more aesthetic than in fitz's and not over-used. Quite a nice combo, but then
again, so was fitz's.

000: 70/90
Fitz: 66/90

So this time around, fitzgeraldhimself has failed to defeat an 000.

Yea, thanks for the tips. There is no doubt in my mind I will beat the 000 next time.

3rd times a charm?

But... can you please post the videos.

They are uploading to youtube, but undergoing that 'processing' thing. I'll put them up as soon as I have them.

You've got to be kidding me. I'd take off 5 points from 000 just because the ending wasn't edited out.

What the? A point off for using a KT? I was assuming difficulty meant difficulty of the tricks and not 'how difficult it is on average to do the combo with a certain pen.'

@Fitz: IMHO smoothness is excellent the tricks are relatively difficult, but I feel ur combos always flow ccw which makes it seem repetative. And you have a very signature twisted sonic that looks cool but is overused :banana: Just my two cents.

i'm glad type of pen was brought into the mix. if fitz had done all that with an unmodded bic round stic, we'd be like *smack head* that is such domination!

but its the opposite. he used an easy pen to do a yet good routine.

better luck next time :D i thought you were better :D

This judge sucks. Fire him. :gtfo:

fitzgerald's combo was real nice, I liked it a lot. He just got unlucky and had to fight this 000. :P

the judges comments are all cut off its hard to see.

Both did a good job, but I advise to work on variety. You both used mini combos at least twice in it, so you can improve that. As for the rest, really nice job. :)

xxx you bitch! Haha, why did I get one of the hardest 000s!!! I was saving my nicer video in hopes of crushing TNC for the 06 spot. But thanks for the tips, I'll work on my variety.

Some would call that mean... :lol:

@Zombo, fixed :banana:

I totally agree with jugde number 3... It is right to take of points for high momentum pens... And it is right to look at how many charge passes one should put in a combo...

Lets not talk about high momentum pens ok! The 000 was using a tipped ballsign mod, and it is one of the nicest pens with the most momentum I have ever used so please lets not talk about that. Not discrediting anybody, lets just not bash on the pen o.k?

edited for you ;)

You are nto suppose to give away 000 identities. :D

Stop trying to give away 000 identies fag....

Well I dont think anyone is bashing any pens, but it is rediculous to say that it isnt easier to spin with one pen then another. So it DOES affect the difficulty.

HOWEVER, I dont think it should affect the judging. this is because this is different for everybody. Its impossible to say that just because its easier for one person to spin a KT, it is easier for someone else. Also, its up to the spinner to pick the pen. If someone is dumb enough to spin with a pen thats hard to spin.

Its just like an Ice skater going out on the ice with a pair of tennis shoes, then yelling at the judge that their score should have been higher because the difficulty is greater w/ shoes than with skates.

fitz was pretty good.
i like the series of vertical arounds.

We're not suppose to give away the identity of the 000. A moderator even called me a "fag" because of it! :ghost:

Damn straight I called you a fag for it. Everyone, please do not give away or try to guess at 000 identities, mats would like them kept secret, as that is the way the elite six was founded when Ko first made it.

I don't see why you would need to give it away if you can't tell who that is then shame on you.

Yeah that sucks that they gave you a super hard 000 to beat kinda got screwed fitz nice try though. :P
