    @taichi1082 and everyone who had watched miyat's combo,pretty much either "disappointed" or like it very much here's what i think (No score) EXECUTION Miyat has bad smoothness,not gay-earth bad execution.His tricks are well executed,his flow changed quite suddenly at the end.His linkages are not well...constantly smooth (hard to say and my english is just as bad as my vietnamese) DIFFICULTY Miyat tricks well...can be easily singlely done,hard to connect and put in practice,except for the counter wrist-bounce though,shit is hard. CREATIVITY Have to say that some of the tricks are "Obvious" trick.I believe that many spinners have already came up with these tricks but never actually find them "useful" in combo,and miyat's done a great job putting them together.But if you've watched several of him combos before,you'll be just like "oh nice...it's just miyat being miyat,nothing really new here",like when you watch S777,i.suk,vic,eriror,... i.suk's powertrick is no longer surprising cause...he's a super powertrick guy,if he uploads a video of him doing both hands punkan x20,i'll just go "just the usual i.suk doing insane powertricks again" (no offense here) You get what i'm saying here? PRESENTATION No off-cam,No Hidden-ninja tricks,fine lighting,nothing is wrong with the presentation (i don't like "dark corner of the room" in the vid but that counts shit) Generally,the only thing i dislike about this combo is that it has minimal amount of time.It's barely 10s,almost got disqualified i think (since the rule said that it "should be")

    @ ^ EDIT: On-topic, overall it was a fairly solid round for R2 imo, noticeable increase in effort and combo difficulty/quality from most spinners resulting in some close battles in certain instances.

    No. You did what no fucking competitor in any competition ever created does. Youre an ignorant little kid who doesnt cease to amaze me with your slightly less than narcissistic comments. And it pisses me and many others off to no end that youre probably going to win this round.

Eriror's combo just...appeals to me more i guess [B]Kay[/B] vs. Precel miyat vs. [B]Thebloodgod[/B] [B]Xound[/B] vs. Mart Mart was much better now than his r1, but Xound is just too beast mind vs. GSL x1213 vs. [B]cLear[/B] Gibki vs. [B]pen ninja[/B] hohohoho [B]sutomo[/B] vs. Daimo [B]ctionist[/B] vs. EaglE oh my god [B]Ivabra[/B] vs. Gisele8 [B]a13x[/B] vs. Orange[/SPOILER] gah still too many videos

    [spoiler=U know what spoiler in this thread mean]fel2fram vs. RPD RPD made a very incredible combo, but the catching in the end kill the whole combo execution. fel2's combo is a bit short but linkage and difficulty is better. [B]Leftfinger[/B] vs. Alvaris close one, I love Lefty's combo more than Alva's. :\ [B]MHL[/B] vs. Cloud Cloud did great in 2h sync and 1p2h part, but MHL transition is better. really close one. [B]gollumsk8[/B] vs. ppm [B]Baaron[/B] vs. kin I don't see much linkage in kin's combo, so my prediction go to Baaron i.suk vs. [B]Eriror[/B] I don't like i.suk's finger and Eriror Gangnum is better than Orange. Too hard to predict with combo so I'll predict depend on finger and dancing. [B]Kay[/B] vs. Precel Really love Precel's combo, the spinning is going great with that song. But Kay's is better. Maybe if Kay danced too, this match'll be more fun. miyat vs. [B]Thebloodgod[/B] miyat linkage is awesome but the combo is too short. [B]Xound[/B] vs. Mart [B]mind[/B] vs. GSL x1213 vs. [B]cLear[/B] I really want to see x1213 go to next round but cLear's combo is better. [B]Gibki[/B] vs. Pen Ninja I want this 2 advance to R3 :( [B]sutomo[/B] vs. Daimo [B]ctionist[/B] vs. EaglE [B]Ivabra[/B] vs. Gisele8 [B]a13x[/B] vs. Orange I don't know why people complain about Orange's combo. It look like troll but it still containing some interesting part, creative and the execution is good. But yeah, A13x's is much better.[/spoiler]

    Not sure if you are talking about Impulse or me (because I didn't comment on your vid and Impulse made no analysis on the colddi-alvaris thing) but if I may quote myself "An dieser Stelle fast offcam, allerdings keine Hänger. Man beachte aber wie er die Hand hochzieht." -> "At this point almost offcam, though no error. However, you have to take a look at how he raises his hand." I'm not biased in any way and you know it. And even if I was - Neither do I have anything against Miyat (I don't even know his opponent lol), nor do I have a reason to prefer Eriror over you.

    Spoiler [B]fel2fram[/B] vs. RPD : RPD's combo was great but that off-cam at the end seals the deal I think Leftfinger vs. [B]Alvaris[/B] Tough choice, close battle MHL vs. [B]Cloud[/B] : obvious, MHL's combo is just a compilation of mainstream type of styles (black background with minwoo snow kipple style) [B]gollumsk8[/B] vs. ppm : glmk incredible combo Baaron vs. [B]kin[/B] Baaron used to make better combos :( Kin's combo is ok i.suk vs. Eriror Draw can't decide, I'm outta here (sun) Kay vs. [B]Precel[/B] I liked that body & environment combo, I think the ideas are interersting. Kay is cool but lack of creativity I think. [B]miyat[/B] vs. Thebloodgod : I think that's the weakest battle of the round :( Miyat's combo is too short and TBG's combo is kinda easy [B]Xound[/B] vs. Mart : Mart's combo is better than the first round but Xound is just amazing. Cool battle though [B]mind[/B] vs. GSL : Didn't like GSL presentation, Mind's combo is neat and beautiful. [B]x1213[/B] vs. cLear : Clear's combo got several structure problems, many great tricks but they're linked by some spam-tricks (pass & twisted sonic) ... X1213 still got it [B]Gibki[/B] vs. Pen Ninja [B]sutomo[/B] vs. Daimo : Sutomo keeps impressing by his amazing breakdowns, Daimo's combo needs something more [B]ctionis[/B]t vs. EaglE : Ction's combo is maybe the best of the round imo [B]Ivabra[/B] vs. Gisele8 First time a belgian is going to the third round of a world tournament, BPSC made history this year. haha (sun) [B]a13x[/B] vs. Orange : That's the battle with the biggest difference of level here Lol that's funny. Only spinners on the left in my predictions for the second part.
    Good luck everyone

    all the cool kids are doing it...

    Spoilerfel2fram vs. [B]RPD[/B] though execution was not as good as f2f, i think rpd had more interesting links (dont kill me) Leftfinger vs. [B]Alvaris[/B] MHL vs. [B]Cloud[/B] i honestly thought both of these could have been better -__- [B]gollumsk8[/B] vs. ppm Baaron vs. [B]kin[/B] really freaking close. [B]i.suk[/B] vs. Eriror [B]Kay[/B] vs. Precel i like precel's combo, but i think kay's was more difficult. miyat vs. [B]Thebloodgod[/B] miyat just didnt have enough content and the execution could have been better [B]Xound[/B] vs. Mart mart just seemed to have semi dislocated links, but they seemed intended. he still freaked me the fuck out... close battle imo mind vs. [B]GSL[/B] minds combo is amazing, but it wasnt quite enough imo x1213 vs. [B]cLear[/B] both were great but i didnt see anything wildly creative from x1213 Gibki vs. [B]Pen Ninja[/B] penja was more interesting but lacked in execution. a close one again [B]sutomo[/B] vs. Daimo was daimo even trying? [B]ctionist[/B] vs. EaglE eagle's was great, but i think its obvious that ction's was much more difficult [B]Ivabra[/B] vs. Gisele8 [B]a13x[/B] vs. Orange

    Date: Thu, Feb 28 2013 01:42:13

    Usually a month or 2 before WC or WT starts, UPSB will do some sort of qualification thing. I first got into it when we did a UPSB tournament and I came 2nd in that. This year we did a "qualification video" sort of thing here: http://forum.upsb.info/showthread.php?t=12963 In the end, who gets put into WT is pretty much up to each community as to who they think are their best spinners.

    Ugly style should be judged in presentation criteria, presentation is about how your style is "neat" and how your cam/desk/setup is neat too (brightness, no off-cam, etc)

    @Zombo maybe you have to be clear about when judges have to send you judgments and when you have to revelate. Because on the official website it is said that the day "x" is the day of revelation, but to the judges it is said that this same day is the day of sending. So judges send you their judgments when you have to say who won... edit: okok ^^
