Calm down eta, Terpsichore was joking.
I really couldn't tell but I felt compelled to reply seriously when I laughed and chocked on my chocolate.

I can't tell if you are sincere or sarcastic. Have you watched the competition? Specifically the pre-rotations and scratchy landings?

Has anyone else wondered what else Hanyu needs to do to get a +3 (+2.10) on his 3F? I think it's truly the most glorious jump. One of the most choreographically in sync jumps ever. He gets good height, distance, step before the jump, unexpected and very difficult entry, great exit and immediate transition. Honestly, if that jump isn't +3, I don't know what is. ..
He has to hang in the air somewhere around the middle, do a polka dance, then resume the rotations and land. I think that'd do it.
I wouldn't even count on that! The judges would think this is far too easy for him...
He has to learn to show how hard it is!

Ah, I see.
But really? Lol, I think you went overboard with "no one". I, and I bet most others, don't see anything wrong with winning either on TES or on PCS - as long as either is actually deserved and rivals are scored deservedly as well. Remember when Patrick won 4CCs over Boyang? Patrick was beaten soundly on TES across the 2 programs, actually he was beaten on TES in both programs, but he won on massive PCS and I don't recall anybody minding terribly. People were happy for Patrick. Sui/Han just won on TES and I by no means think they are the undeserving champions.
ETA: That "should win both tes and pcs" philosophy would be really iffy though, what if one skater wins SP both on TES and PCS, and another wins FS both on TES and PCS, but overall none of them has advantage in both categories? Like, really.
random stat i counted out for the world championships.

I do take Shoma seriously, he's one of my favorites. But you can't deny he would have beat Yuzu given the circumstances if he landed the Lutz more cleanly.

Do judges even give out +3 on jumps lower than a 3A?
That said, I agree, Yuzuru's 3F is, as besp gyus say, out of nowhere, looks like he's going for a twizzle and instead we've got a jump, and a a beautfiful teizxle right after. If any jump deserves all the goe, this is it.
What would have happen if Uno rightfully placed over Hanyu. Honestly Hanyu could easily have been a zero-time World Champion if the scores had aligned correctly.
Sympathies towards Javi.
The reality now is that you need to at least plan 4 Quads and not fall on at least 3 of them in your FS to safely remain within reach of the podium.
I think 6 quads was a little much and I wonder if he'll go for it again at WTT.
