But I also can't help but wonder how Javi's not-so-clean-landings SP score in Rostelecom is slightly higher than Machida's clean SP in SA. Oh well, I think judging is really unpredictable. But Javi is a great skater as well and what a fantastic program.
So, after watching 4 GPs, Machida's performances remain the best for me.

What I am just worried about is that Javi with his very ambitious BV finished with 171 in his long program and that program wasn't even that really clean. Comparing to Machida's stellar LP of 175. I just wish Machida steps his LP up this coming Bompard.
Tatsuki landed only one 3A in LP so he lost a bit of points there in TES. On other hand Javi is doing 3 quads, but only one 3A so there is not so much diffrence on BV between Javi and Tatsuki. Diffrent situation is with Yuzuru because he is planning 3 quads and 2 x 3A combinations in 2nd half and from what I saw on paper he hast 10 points BV higher than Javi and Tatsuki
From what I remember BV is something like : Yuzuru 94 , Javi 85 , Tatsuki 84
Well Tatsuki did lower his BV and not only by doubling his second 3A, he says he actually has more transitions in the program. He aims to perform consistent clean programs because his strategy to win over the others is by positive GOEs and PCS, not by BV.
But the 4T+2T you think that was planned too? He could've 4T+3T.
Agree, not too much difference in numbers with Javi and Machida's LP(SA).
Machida also only did 2 combos, he completely left out a 3 jump combo. Last season he did a 3F+2T+2Lo in his LP, so if he's looking to include that too this season with his 3F, that's another 9.24-5.83=3.41 increase in BV.Well Tatsuki did lower his BV and not only by doubling his second 3A, he says he actually has more transitions in the program.

True, I was going to add this. He's probably keeping the 3rd combo for the GPF.Machida also only did 2 combos, he completely left out a 3 jump combo. Last season he did a 3F+2T+2Lo in his LP, so if he's looking to include that too this season with his 3F, that's another 9.24-5.83=3.41 increase in BV.
His 3A is in combination with a 3T so he only performs a 2T with the 4T.
I mean overall planned content BV In SA Tatsuki's BV was lower in LP than 84 as I remember because he done only one 3A and 4T-2T instead of 4T3T, and as Shingalas pointed out he done only 2 combinations
Right. i forgot about that. But has he ever done a 3Lz in combination?
Are we going to see 3 combinations this coming weekend?
