Yuzuru Hanyu: 2016-17 Season

[Li'Kitsu]

Wait, why is the video back on the Edge? Did you guys give them the okay? I know many of your feelings were hurt the first time around...If you guys are not okay with it, ask him to take it down since they clearly didn't care about moderating the first time around.

I can only speak for myself, and I'm not happy about it. A part of the team thinks we should just let it on, maybe it will go better or something.... but personally, I'd have preferred it to not be re-posted. In the end, this is the internet and it's an open video anyone can share wherever, but I have to say I'm not happy they just put it back up on their own, given how it ended up last time around (and several of us video group members voicing our disappointment about that). I'm probably going to stay out of that thread, as I can't imagine it will go better than yesterday.

It's not going anywhere, but the only thing I can say there now is how angry and hurt I'm still feeling. So I'm staying out too.
Shame they took down the old thread - there were some very good reviews there.

According to Elena Vaitskekhovskaya Kikuchi san is Feng Shui master and Yuzu messed up Skate Canada 2015 because he saw dead fly on the ice and his inner peace was ruined

Sorry, I'm like 15 pages behind but this is comedy gold. Someone needs to push this as a plot idea to the Yuri on Ice writers because this is right outta anime!

Yes, they also just took down the useful comments with the dumb ones... we already started discussing those a bit though, so we can still use that.
And I'm not surprised the thread isn't going anywhere. It's that or you-know-who coming out of the woodwork, so I'll take the not going anywhere.

I thought you guys knew about it!

It is an ex number. When you put in 4 quads to a program it is a different story. I doubt if the swan would be as exquisite as program due to the amount of transition and jump elements need to be put in. Besides, what is the difference between HnL and the swan among his non-fans? I doubt those who dislike HnL would appreciate the swan the same. Many of general fans are not even aware of his ex.

While I don't dislike HnL, I'm one of those who appreciate it less than Seimei, for example. I'm not much of a fan of such serene programs - I actually dislike Jason's because it just bores me. At the same time, I love love love The Swan.

Ah, I see they reposted it.

Also, they completely deleted the old thread. I wish I knew so I could've saved some of the posts I wrote. :/

I posted in the thread but maybe I shouldn't have. I think I'll stop now.

That's what I was most disappointed about too. I loved your post, narcissa! But I salvaged the first 6 pages of the old post XP (is that creepy of me)

Okay, well I didn't really see this video as being about a world record since that fact was barely mentioned apart from the title, but you are right that the ISU does not recognize world records (seeing how 3 of the 5 highest ladies' free skate scorers of all time came from WTT last weekend, actual numerical scores are completely meaningless to me now).

But, as an adult skater, this video was incredibly educational to me. I realized how many different steps there are in figure skating (I can only do mohawks and 3-turns and how much speed and power Yuzuru is able to gain from these difficult transitions while keeping the number of crossovers to single digits! I was able to see some small gems I missed in his program (the besti squat, the fleeting spread eagles throughout the step sequence). I realized that almost every spin position he does is a variation (the layback camel, the broken legged sit spin). And I learned that the hydroblade is actually a type of spiral As a beginner skater, this is both incredibly impressive and also motivating.

I'm also incredibly impressed by the fans who took the time to make this video, including listing out the edges (RBI, LBI), it must have taken days and a very strong magnifying lens curse: to the cameramen of this event!). Thank you all so much

That's what I was most disappointed about too. I loved your post, narcissa! But I capped the first 6 pages of the old post XP (is that creepy of me)

Oh, thank you :luv17: Haha that's not creepy, I actually wish I did too (well, especially since they deleted it).

Hehehe, so you only pretend to be cute and cuddly while actually you're dangerous and we should all be scared?

I have a few screenshots, of the especially amazing comments.

I wish you'd been creepier and saved page 13 too.

I seem to be the only one not to think of that.

 

[Lambari]

Can you all please post some of the good comments from the deleted thread here? At least the ones from people who visit this fanfest because I don't believe they will object.

It would be nice!

I second this request! Hey, the creators of the video surely deserved some candies!

If you don't mind sending me what I wrote I'll repost it

If the creators of the video are upset because of the new thread then I will not post there anymore. I posted because I was hoping to have a good conversation this time and to start it on a positive note. I guess I am naive and still believe in goodness of people and that we can all have a civilised and constructive discussion regardless of who our favourite skater is :giveup:

Do you want me to delete my post and not reply there again? I don't want you guys to be hurt by this

 

[AppleEmperor]

Woah Yuzu said he might want to try archery or Kyudo

That probably explains why the archery fanart is happening. He would look so cool!

Also, it would fit his name perfectly :0

You never hurt us - and thank you for your compliments! It might be good just to bring the post here - we were effectively told to stay in our FF, so we're staying here.

Thank you for making that video, I really loved it (hopefully there will be more ).. I guess I'll stay out of that thread and not post there anymore.

Where I failed is that "simplified article" format of Evernote Clipper clipped out the peoples' names on the side
Whaaa. so it's less I salvaged than I thought D: A lot of the WR arguments were repeated and quoted instead of all the different comments D:

So these three... and you guys can let me know if one is yours/ you want to post it yourself/ you want it off.

Khoai

I am sure many skating coaches find this video very useful. With subtitles and slow motion, it's easier to show their students "how this program get this score" or "look how he gets high GOE for these elements" or "look at the series of steps he does before the combo", or "See, he did enough evolutions to get feature for another level".

(?)

The video is brilliant and the effort that has gone into making it is admirable.

Can we please not scare the people who are willing to put time and effort into something like this. Can we refrain from attacking them or making the thread a hostile place.

The video has great educational value and I appreciate the details there since I am learning about figure skating. I hope there will be other videos for more programs that we can study in the future.

(?)

the video is to celebrate yuzu performance in worlds and to be seen as educational tools for those who want to be more familiar with jumps, transitions, skating skill etc. It's very useful for people like me-who basically blind about those kind of things. We could see that the maker is really putting a lot of hard work there, and i really appreciate that!!! Really thank youu!! Hats off!!

Underscore or overscore is not important again. Afterall the score has been set in the stone. The most important thing is yuzu performance is such a magic! Before, i belong to those who feel that HL is cold, especially comparing to SEIMEI who i love dearly. But the world perf open my eyes of the true beauty of HL. Now it toppled SEIMEI as my fav program ever!!!
