4S looks here like having better flow than it was in the past, easily done without push, seems that working on quad loop is really heping him with 4S, he rotated this like cyclon

I modified my post. It was 3lz-2t. And yes since now, either the quad was wrong, or the 3lz tilted, 3A same thing, and we never saw a 3T^^.
I refound the link : http://vk.com/video-19978335_169261236?hd=3&t=6m48s the part is at 4:28. At least in the first day he did all his jumps but the 3lz 3t was a 3lz 2t.

Oh, this is a so-called non-existent video

Thank you Yuzusan :yay:

Really? I thought it was real. Anyone to confirm that?

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts and experiences answering my question. I've figured that there are so many good-hearted people around here and I've been happy to land on this planet of devoted, funny and open-minded figure skating fans. To me it's all about a talent and not about the country ever since I've fallen for Lambiel. And before him I only vowed for the Great Russians. Solely. Thank God I opened my eyes right in time to watch the others. I personally love both Daisuke and Yuzuru and their is no bigger space in my heart to any of them. They are amazing with all their unique abilities and I respect both of them.
Reading through all of the thoughts shared I remembered that I either heard myself on TV during the end competition interview (taken in K&C?) or have read from a fan from Japan that after winning NHK Trophy in 2012 Yuzu said that he had won and his base value of the program was bigger than of Daisuke sun. I remember that I was slightly shocked and laughed at that. But what he did was simply stating the facts. I went to see the protocols and I had to agree: that kid planned his program on the top of his abilities and if he came to this sport to achieve something he had to win. So he planned the program, he worked hard and he performed on the top of his lungs. He wasn't arrogant. He was factual. And happy to succeed. My heart was bleeding for Daisuke at that time but deep in my heart I gave Yuzuru kudos for his competitive spirit.
It's hard to see your King dethroned. But I guess it is good for a King to have a follower who pays respect to his achievements and moves forward. By the end of the day they are all competitors. They make this sport alive. I am ever grateful to those who make it an exciting sport to follow. And on the top of that for being amazing people to get to know to. And also thanks to them to get to know other people around the world who share same passion for figure skating.
Uff, that was long.:

Oh and one thing I wanted to add: when the interviewer asked Dai about who's the best or was it who is the ace at the moment (Dai lost then to Yuzu, was it after the Japanese Nationals?)- I think that was a rude and unethical question to ask. I blame it on the person who asked the question. It was inappropriate.

Dear Yuzuru, don't ever take fashion tips from Oda, Dai or Johnny.

Yes, let's all pray he never imitates Johhny's off-ice outfits.

 

[Sorrento]

He'll develop his own style, he has a strong personality.

Thanks, Sorrento, for sharing your thoughts. The more I get to know about the kid, the more I am amazed by his extremely strong competitive spirit. He has no fear for anything. He trains himself hard and challenges his own limits like crazy. He truly lives up to his name - a bowstring stretched tight - a fighter. No wonder fans call him Asura on Ice - male hormone explosure:agree:.

my feelings in a post Daisuke is my favorite skater of all time and I hate to see him go, but it's the end of the quad, end of an era, and time for someone else to lead the way. Dai leaves a great legacy behind him.
I meant to post about this one Dai interview I read but I didn't want to because I didn't remember it exactly - do you remember an interview (was it the on you mentioned?) where someone asked Dai what he thought of Yuzu winning things over him or something like that, and then Dai talked about how he was unwilling to accept it at first and he still thought of himself as the Japan's #1 or something like that...?

God I love that picture! He's roaring like a lion.
What's Asura? Is it a Japanese word?

Oh I also wanted to ask about S personality. What is it? I missed that discussion.

No, unfortunately I don't have the link, I only remember that short part cause it was so heartbreaking. I was literally mad at that person who asked that question. Dai is a legend, he deserves some respect.
For me Dai did not go, not yet. I hope he could be back for a season or two. Who knows? I'd love to see him in competitions.
But you have a point: I have a feeling that figure skating might progress with quads even faster, leaving no door for the amazing veterans to win big titles anymore. Hopefully though there will be a season or two when young competitors would focus on skating skills more and stop producing the quad showers, at least for the sake of good SS marks. IF ISU makes them focus on that. Basically I am the one who is for both technically challenged and artistic performances in a bottle. I need both in one skate.

To keep it short, it's about a person with strong personality.

Hmm, it is difficult to explain Asura because it is religious. Wiki: ''Asura in Buddhism is the name of the lowest ranks of the deities or demigods of the Kāmadhātu. They are one of the Dharmapala.

Asura always fight with Śakra because Asura have beautiful girls but no delicious food while Śakra have delicious food but no beautiful girls laugh. They fight so often that the word Asura field is used to describe battle field.

The state of an Asura reflects the mental state of a human being obsessed with ego, force and violence, always looking for an excuse to get into a fight, angry with everyone and unable to maintain calm or solve problems peacefully.'' -- In short, a fierce fighter (but with good intention - different from Greek myths, gods in Buddhism are mostly all good in nature ).

 

[Esopian]

The topic of 'Dai vs. Yuzu' is a pretty touchy subject for fans; in the figure skating field it's inevitable to compare certain skaters to other skaters. Daisuke is an amazing skater, it's just that his legacy should be passed down to Yuzuru (who is 9 years younger). They both have ambitious personalities and represent Japan honorably.

I really admire how Plushenko treats the topic of Yuzuru leading 'next generation' of figure skating. He doesn't seem to be too bitter about it ---instead, he congratulates Yuzu and praises him whenever he has the chance. It seems like Plushy accepts the fact that younger skaters like Yuzuru can now successfully lead the field, but wants to continue skating nevertheless. I admire how Plushy wants compete at the 2018 Olympics!!

Reading this and Wikipedia, not sure if it is a good thing to be called that.
