But Mao has a great Loop, which she often get above +1.5 GOE. If she repeat the jump as 3Lo+2Lo again, her deduction on 3Lz is minimal. Mao can match point to point on all other elements.
Yuna doesn't have reliable Loop, so if she get huge lead, she will mostly just do 2A instead or risk with the 3Loop, but the -4 point loss on the fall is nothing compare to her 17 point lead.
