Can Takahashi Close The Gap On Patrick Chan?

[SkateFiguring]

Here is the question: Can Patrick Chan win with multiple falls over a perfect Daisuke?

I've said before, it depends on the falls. I can see maximum a random fall and a fall on a fully rotated jump and everything else as perfect as Dai. 5 points is about the difference in their LP BV which would be what such falls would wipe out. Actually, the GPF LP is an example of that, with one point to spare for a random fall which however would likely affect the PCS as past examples have shown. The perfect Dai must also include a successful 4T+3T in the SP as he did at the Nats, which Patrick does quite regularly.

All in all, I can see Patrick possibly winning with one fall, no worse than on a fully rotated quad. Anything more or additional flaws elsewhere would almost certainly put him behind a perfect Dai with his current BV.
