really don't think he will go to 4cc. japan could only have 2 men go to the world, I believe there are many other people need to go to competition too.

One of the tech controlers was Scott Davis and he is pretty harsh on jumps, so I feel if Scott felt it was clean, it was clean. I feel like it looked under rotated because of the camera angle IMO, but it was a pretty tight landing though.
The 2nd 4t looks more rotated than the 4t at NHK. (I'm not expert.)
In addition to the level 3 stsq, the 4t-3t in the second half (in both LP and SP, I assume he will move the 4t-3t to the 2nd half of the SP after national) is also something he can improve on, so there is no dispute on the 4t is rotated or not.)

Yes, remember Scott Davis was the tech controler at AC and he did not go easy on Yuzu with the UR on the 4Ts on both the SP and the FS. I wouldn't say it was perfectly round at the GPF, but it was not missing enough rotation to be called UR. However, as Kurt said, I think he noticed that and will work on it leading up to Nationals. After all, he's not behind the score, but the perfect performance.
Am I too weird for finding the CBC commentators reaction to the score funny? Like they're not even surprised (except for Kurt), they were all "oh look, Yuzuru broke his WR again, no big deal".
I thought it was not as fully rotated as we are use to seeing from him, but within the 1/4 mark to not get the < or at least for the caller to give him the benefit of the doubt. Was surprised that the 1st 4T got marked for review rather than the 2nd one, but I agree it could have been the camera angle.

I'm surprised Yuzu talked about going for the 4Lz before the 4F. I know he sometimes has edge problems on the 3F but other than that, it is usually pretty solid (other than the Olympics :sarcasm
I feel though Yuzu himself would rather try for the 4A before the 4F from what I gathered on how he feels about the flip jump 
I figure this was because the commentary for CBC was taped after the fact? Does anyone know if Kurt and Carol were in Barcelona? I think only PJ Kwong was. To me you can always sort of tell when commentary is taped after the fact, it loses some of the spontaneity and excitement, which is why I tend to prefer British Eurosport since their commentators are usually commenting from the rink, even if the broadcast isn't live.
I have to say that what Patrick say is true that the 'current' layout is maxed out, except that current layouts usually last for one or two seasons.
Patrick's 'current' layout had been current for the last 3-4 years though, he sure needs that 4S. I mean a couple of juniors already have 2 different quads.
Yuzuru and Orser on the other hand wouldn't rest on their Seimei laurels (and wouldn't let Javi rest on his Spanish laurels either.) It is only mid-season and Orser already planned out what to add, and Yuzuru is already 75% with his 4Lo for next season!
I think you need a good but tough coach. I remember someone on goldenskate interviewed Brian Orser at COC. Brian said he sometimes has to get tough with his boys if needed to, not mollycoddle all the way.

I think either him or Brian has said that he hates the flip jump and probably won't ever go for a 4F but you never know whats going to happen :2thumbs:
if he ever lands a clean 4A in competition or even just in practice i will bow down and stay down
lol I wouldn't be surprised to hear about his 4A before his 4F.I'm surprised Yuzu talked about going for the 4Lz before the 4F. I know he sometimes has edge problems on the 3F but other than that, it is usually pretty solid (other than the Olympics :sarcasm

The Yuzu fandom should just take a chill pill and ignore comments like thateven if he were maxed out - well then, go ahead and have fun catching up with him. 60+ points difference, shouldn't be too much of a problem to get there. Puh-lease
I can actually totally understand that he would tell himself something like that. All the other guys can't just go "ok, that's it, we can all just retire because nobody is ever gonna win anything against this wonder boy from outer space". Of course they have to think that they can still improve and that they can get close to him, and if Yuzu messed up, they can actually win against him. But usually it's better to skip that kind of speech during interviews.
Agree with you guys, at first when I came across the comment, I was like ... 'maxed out'? Even if Yuzuru did 'max out' as Patrick describes it, the performance and score were both amazing and not anyone would be close enough to beat it in the current men's field. Yuzuru achieved a huge accomplishment and all Patrick says is something that seems to be upgrading himself(and his ego), but it just did it complete opposite.

while his lutz has become more inconsistent in this past two seasons, Yuzuru has always hated the flip: even when he was still a junior he stated that the flip was the jump he was more uncomfortable with

Javi would not allow that!
I don't think Japan allows automatic qualification without participation in Nationals, both culturally and financially.
