    Mage In Black vs catfish WINNER = [B]Mage In Black[/B] Ricercar vs Tomohiro WINNER = [B]Tomohiro[/B] (3/3)

    SpoilerNeither of you did anything that made me say wow, Ricercar had a great first 6 seconds, but then used easier tricks to finish an already short combo. Tomohiro had a sort of normal combo from him, nothing new really. But Tomohiro has the upper hand with his trick set, plenty of variety and overall had a harder combo. Winner: Tomohiro Honestly there was nothing too interesting about this battle, both combos were essentially the same except tomo did everything better. Winner Tomohiro Tomohiro had a bit more variety and better execution which made up for the fact that Ricercar had slightly more interesting linkages. Winner -> Tomohiro
    Gland vs Nix WINNER = [B]Gland[/B] Twine vs Enkronidus WINNER = [B]Twine[/B] Hippo2626 vs neoknux_009 Winner = [B]Hippo2626[/B] (3/3)
    SpoilerThere is so much creativity in this battle, both had insane linkages that I've never seen before. What is going to decide my vote are 2 things: Hippo2626's lack of spam, and the finisher on neoknux_009's combo. It is rare to see a combo so focused and determined that there are no filler tricks. Hippo2626 had almost no filler at all. An Impressive quality. Neoknux_009 had the expected amount of filler, I am NOT saying that he had spam everywhere. I can see the tricks he's doing, Hippo2626 just took it a level higher. Back to neoknux_009's ending, I feel that in a battle this close, his finisher is just not good enough, the catch seems like he did not do what he wanted to do. Even if it was as he planned, it is anti climatic and takes away from the rest of the combo. Winner: Hippo2626 Might be the best battle of this round, I'm seriously loving Hippo's style that he's developing but neo is also a very solid spinner. It's the point where I have to choose wether or not I like the solid spinning, or the less solid more expirimental spinning... In Hippo's combo there are multiple pauses it's tough because you have to decide wether or not those are put there on purpose just due to his style of spinning or they were actually mistakes. Because of the nature of them I feel like some of them were in fact put there on purpose but some were also just because of a mistake, we're all human. In neo's combo there was the rather akward bakriser section coupled with the also akward knuckle bounce thing that I feel should have been a spiderspin or something. I like both of these combos though, they both show that each spinner is developing their own style and personally I'm liking Hippo's more. Winner Hippo. I liked both of these combos, I think that Hippo2626 is making strides with the lack of flow that he had in the previous round and still kept his combo interesting. neoknux_009 also had a nice combo, with some interesting stuff. I especially liked the sonic 23-13~indexaround reverse .5 13-11 at around 10 seconds as well as the 2h spin. Although both of these combos were good, neoknux_009's had some control issues with a bit too much hand movement and a couple small pauses. Winner -> Hippo2626
    SPRiNGFiELD vs Escorpio123 WINNER = [B]SPRiNGFiELD[/B] (3/3)
    SpoilerSPRiNGFiELD's combo is just on a higher level then Escorpio123 's. Both had a few difficult tricks and plenty of filler, but the difference between Escorpio123's and SPRiNGFiELD's is that SPRiNGFiELD's filler is not the spam we saw in the last round, but tricks that emphasize a style and appearance, as where Escorpio123's filler is spam. Easy tricks used to get the pen from one slot to the other. SPRiNGFiELD 's difficult tricks are all done with fantastic execution and I'm surprised he can fit them all within his personal unique style. Winner: SPRiNGFiELD Decent battle although it's easy to see the difference in skill level here, I like this combo from escorpio way more than the previous round, but springfeild is honestly just better. I like the development from escorpio though, keep making progress. Winner Springfield. SPRINGFiELD had the more interesting combo here with some nice linkages, especially near the end with his pd fl ta. Escorpio123's combo was pretty good as well but not much stood out about it. Winner -> SPRiNGFiELD
    Pudels Kern vs Jan WINNER = [B]Pudels Kern [/B](3/3)
    SpoilerPudels Kern with an easy win. His combo has an insane amount of original, creative and difficult material, all executed with great signature style. Jan's combo is made up of spam and those spreads, which are not original, creative or difficult material. Winner: Pudels Kern This is another one of those obvious skill gap battles, I don't know if people realize how hard it is to do what Pudels does, I've spent quite some time trying to figure it all out, he's just good. Really, really good. Sorry Jan but your spinning is no where near as developed as Pudels. Winner Pudels Kern. Although Jan's combo was a fine combo, Pudels Kern's clip was superior in nearly every way. Winner -> Pudels Kern

    @Twine the limit is 30 seconds based on AoD and I think JE adopted the same format.
