Yes. She had more attack and power through her jumps, and quite a few other skaters were a bit flat. Plus her program is by far the best choreographically.

Oh, my, that's a bit of an over-score, isn't it? I think that 3F should be "!" can't believe that she's 12 points higher than Miki, that's crazy. Miki must have had a downgrade somewhere (I'm guessing 3Z-3R<), plus she did fall in the slss, which lost steam and choreography afterwards. Even so, 12 points! Yu-na must have maxed out on all the levels and GOE's aside from the 2A. 2A is the lowest-scoring jump, though, but still, almost 70 for that program!
Doesn't Yuna have "textbook" jumps or something?
Well, I wouldn't know, but if you are correct, then apparently judges don't care, or she could've scored well over 70 with flip, I guess.

Yuna is by far the best.
Having said that, I agree with feraina and lmarie086 that 70 is a tad bit high for the performance and the take-off edge for the flip was questionable to me. But hey, I am no expert on that subject matter.
Miki definitely came unscrewed after the fall. Otherwise, it was a good performance.
As for American ladies, I enjoyed Mirai best. Mirai has speed and attack that was non-existent in other American ladies. And she is capable of weaving choreography into technical elements. So yes, I understand why judges put Mirai ahead of Rachael.

Agreed. I don't understand. Obviously she was the best and she is lovely but she was not as good as the scores show. At most, she should have had AT MOST 64-66.
Hm
My thoughts:
Meissner: Good opening showing! Verry good, and known to be a LP skater, so hopefully she can make up ground on Ando/Nakano.
Kim: Wooah. woah. Really? REALLY? uhm. okay. Well, she is a SP skater afterall...im sure her LP will be killer though...
Nagasu/Flatt: Great opening skates to Senior GP life! If Flatt really was underscored, thats a shame...
Ando: Great! Back to shape!
Now, regrding the scoring...hm. Up til now through SA I was all ready to say that scores were starting to line up with what I thought after thinking that they were starting to fall back to old ways last year. Its a shame. And if international judges overscore Kim....I am not excited to see Asada's scores...

I was very disappointed with Rachel's skate but not with her score. I think Ashley Wagner is the best U.S. female skater alongside Mirai at present. Rachel skated very tentatively and very juniorish. Everyone here seems to be complaining Rachel should be ahead of Mirai but I disagree. Mirai wasn't that great either but Rachel wasn't better than Mirai either. In fact, Rachel looked more juniorish than Mirai IMHO.
Flatt's triple/triple as apparently underrotated. As for Yu-na, someone over at FSU just chimed in to say that Yu-na was dominating. Apparently her speed and ice coverage was light years ahead of anyone else's. That she reached every inch and corner of the rink and it was amazing to see.
