Kohai (Challenger): http://media.putfile.com/kohai-vs-T-N-C

Judge 1:

Difficulty - 1.5: T_N_C's combo was technically more difficult that Kohai's, not to mention the pen he used (not sure exactly what it is, but it sure isn't heavier than the other) is more demanding than Kohai's Dr.KT.
Speed 0: Similar.
Smoothness - 0.5: T_N_C's video is somewhat smoother than Kohai. Better linkage.
Creativity: - 1: T_N_C's linkage is much more interesting. Liked the stop before the rev TA a lot.
Variety: + 0.5: Kohai uses a brief infinity sequence, otherwise the variety, or lack of, is similar in both case.
Filming -0.5: Kohai's filming didn't look very fluid.

Kohai may challenge another 000 in 28 days. Congrats to T_N_C on solidifying the 006 spot. Also note tha with the new judging system, Kohai was the challenger so positive scores favored him. Negative scores favored T_N_C.

pretty cool, i like how the judges are consistent with each other. This means they saw the same things, the judging is not biased :)

I wonder where the pens are, all I see are sticks.

Anyways, 25 second vids arent cool.

- 200 for showing your face. :angryfire:
jk. even tho he lost, i still liked kohai's combo none the less.
and T_N_C did fantastic as always.

This is how I would've judged it:

Difficulty: -0.75
Speed: par
Smoothness: -1.00
Creativity: +0.25
Variety: +0.25
Filming: par

Overall: -1.25 (T_N_C)

Kohai has very slight advantage in creativity and variety but more noticeable disadvantage in difficulty and smoothness. And yes, spinning with sticks isn't cool either.

Your pens are back in 2003 and 25 second vids are hawt. Welcome to new skool.

:ilulz:



Great vids though, pretty close battle imo with t_n_c pulling slightly ahead.

I liked kohais combo, but it was not executed well. TNC's combo was good, but was just alot of korean minicombos executed after one another.

how lucky for me !!
cheer up Kohai , maybe next time u will win :clap: :clap: :clap: i really like ur combo

@ : i don't have anypen , but now i practice with my personal mod which like MX ........ it really good

that stick looks huge.
how long is that thing?

wow.. its all good... congrats tnc hopefully next time :grin:
