Knowing and hoping is different. I've seen her being called names on YouTube that I wouldn't call anyone ever. Doesn't mean I can't hope people would see that it was the system and not the athlete.

However, this is the first time a guy fresh from juniors brings 4F and 4Lz to the WC table and upsets favorites and even an Olympic medalist. So it's understandable people might try to nitpick as much as possible.
Yes, I mean I am salty, you've got that right.
I'm salty Boyang got the UR call, and Vincent did not, and I am salty someone who prerotates, has chronic UR problems and has padded PCS that, thanks to his fed, is almost reaching the number people have spent years chasing by gradually improving as skaters is suddenly in a medal position. Darn right I'm "nitpicking".
Oh and the Olympic medalist also got overscored. It's Boyang Jin who has to suffer this entire mess to prop up this and that guy.

You forgot the sliver of a GOE lead that Boyang had on his fully-rotated 4Lz-3T over Zhou.

If we start going for the details, I may as well go for the vodka and the pairs have just about soothed my wounds so I skipped it

Gee, I wonder who it could be!
Lawd, Yuzu ain't even here, next season hasn't even started, and people are already trying *real* hard to lay the groundwork.

Groundwork for what exactly? That Shoma doesn't have the best technique on jumps? No, I think that's amply clear.
That if Vincent had got UR'd on his 4Lz for being the same amount of rotated as Boyang's 4T (EDIT: BoP's saying in another thread that Zhou's 4Lz was under), he would have been behind Shoma? And that he somehow has more PCS than Boyang did for landing two quads all through the 2015-2016 season? Or is the jumping-beanery different when we want it to be?

Vincent has the lowest PCS out of the top 10 after Majorov. Say what you want, but his PCS were not "padded". They were pretty fair IMHO considering even the tiny inflation that always comes with a high tech content.
I haven't seen Boyang's program so I have nothing to compare to. I'm only speaking from how historically borderline jumps were called 50% of the time depending on the camera angle. But yeah, if Boyang's jumps were also borderline or better they should not have been called.

Oh, it's all amply clear, boo.
Well, it's clear that the definition of "amply" differs for you. I've seen your arguments on who has the best lutzes in the ladies' field not changing after 10 pages and 100s of videos being presented to you, so forgive me if I take your attempt at shade with a grain of salt and an eyeroll.

Well, not sure if you know, but I have a thing against blatantly biased fan videos being presented to me!
But I digress! Good luck to Vincent... slay in the FS! Get those quads yo. I think he has a real shot at the podium.

Yeah, videos of skaters skating in competitions are "blatantly biased".
Just like the scores here. Wow, maybe you have a point.
