Ahhh the quad racehwell: - I'm worried about Nathan, he seems to be catching up with Yuzuru's tech score at a crazy pace. He might be a big challenger at Peongchang
. In any case, the difficulty level of Yuzuru's programs is more than the jumps. There's also the transitions and steps (though he doesn't really get rewarded that much for it recently). There is a certain level of etherealness to his programs that none will compare. 
I'd say it pays for for Yuzuru because his difficulties can justify his PCS and GOE.
so per her logic, Yuzuru has nothing special and he must add transitions to get good GOE and PCS. While other men can galore their programs with upper body movements and crossovers the whole program and get the same benefits because they "look more balletic". 
because let's say, men skating has nothing but jumps. So as long as you have the quantity you don't need the quality. 
That's her logic and I am afraid maybe some judges believe the same?Lol quite the contrary, i think judges like him. Even in 2012 worlds, his PCS is only 2 pts behind Dai even with a fall (and let's be real, his SS and Components back then are not like it is today) so I don't think the judges think of him as unrefined. They just long for him to give them that friggin clean FS so that they can throw all the PCS at him (which they can finally do at NHK and GPF lol) Honestly, even if he reduces his transition a bit and ad more crossovers now, I doubt it will affect his PCS much. Once you reached a status, they can't lower you down. Chan still gets generous PCS even when he bomb nowadays (and frankly, compared to his pre-sochi programs, he reduces his steps and turns nowadays)I'd say it pays for for Yuzuru because his difficulties can justify his PCS and GOE.
But other skaters don't have to do all the transitions and choreographic moves he does to get the same GOE and PCS because, let's say, a funny poster keeps saying:
- Because other men are considered to have better posture, better musicality
- Because other men have better extensions
- Because other men have more ballet ice style
So because of that, Yuzuru HAS to put more transitions into his programs because the judges dislike his unrefined style.
4lo3T, 4S, 3F // 4Lo, 4T, 3A-2T, 3A-1Lo-3S, 3lz = 104.65 BV
Well ask that poster, per her logic, because Patrick is balletic and skates like a dancer on ice thus he gets all the PCS regardless of transitions. And because Yuzuru can never be a good balletic skater, he must do transitions because he has nothing else to become more remarkable than other men. :roll9: (don't let me start with other men, do I need to ask some professional ballet dancers on Facebook about their posture lol).
4 different quads is a much safer layout than 4 quads but repeat a quad. He will not have to worry about repeating jumps. With 4lz he can get 109.83 BV which is much higher.
Anywho, Yuzu has pretty good line, alright. He can still improve of course and extend himself more and hold his landing posture perhaps a bit longer but he improved already alright, no longer obviously hunch and drop his shoulder, is it really that hard to see? This is coming from me who can't stand watching him before because his posture bothers me a lot :hopelessness:
Hell, you're right about the 3T there. I should not be using programs, I am way better with calculating by hand or in my head because I actually think when I do that.
