General Discussion / Which style do you use? Which style do you like better?
Korean , Old School, European, or Japanese ?

Date: Sat, Oct 20 2007 16:57:53
Well not much to say.
Use: Japanese/European(well at least I think so)
Like: Bonkura's(or any style that is smooth and shows flexibility and dexterity of the fingers)
So which do you use and like?
And for those of you who don't know the styles, like me before nateiskewl posted
here is his definitions of the styles
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------QUOTEKorean style: Fast spinning, usually freestyle. Mini combo's such as Neosonic > FL TA Rev and Continuous MidBaks. Example: Cloud Traveler
"Old school" style: Slower spinning, planned out combos, more Backarounds and Sonics. Example: Kam
European style: Fast spinning, lots of arounds, mixes mini combo's from Japanese and Korean styles. Example: Fratleym
Japanese style: Combos show incredible finger flexibility, also planned out. Example: BonkuraQUOTE (Sfsr @ Oct 20 2007, 12:06 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>What you called European nate is what I rather would call French & German. Swedish style is more smooth charges, passes and shadows; like �lan, Ceedgee, Yiep and Me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or if your not sure or do not like to define yourself by a style, which spinners do you think you spin like and which spinners do you like.
Spin like: bonkura/s777
Liked spinners: Bonkura, s777, Fratleym, Dathroat -

Da Merkuury style.
But to be serious I atleast try to combine bonkura's, fratleym's and korean style.. -
Date: Sat, Oct 20 2007 17:19:13
i kinda go for some of bonkuras tricks, korean ~ Japanese style
-

Before I answer this, I have to give my definition of styles.
Korean style: Fast spinning, usually freestyle. Mini combo's such as Neosonic > FL TA Rev and Continuous MidBaks. Example: Cloud Traveler
"Old school" style: Slower spinning, planned out combos, more Backarounds and Sonics. Example: Kam
European style: Fast spinning, lots of arounds, mixes mini combo's from Japanese and Korean styles. Example: Fratleym
Japanese style: Combos show incredible finger flexibility, also planned out. Example: Bonkura
Out of those, I like European style better, because it is pretty much a mixture of all styles. Don't flame me.
I don't really think I have a style that I use, I copy what I see. -

Japanese style
-
Date: Sat, Oct 20 2007 17:36:51
I use old school with a bit of korean style in it currently(well I don't do mine fast and I do lots of sonics, backarounds and some mini combos).
I like old school combined with japanese or korean style. -
Date: Sat, Oct 20 2007 17:49:43
spinofdoom style
No but seriously...I try spinning a style that would be my use of trick combos and stuff...It's really hard to explain,but I TRY using alternative linkages
-
Date: Sat, Oct 20 2007 17:55:08
I'm into korean style. but at the moment I'm to bad to call it korean style
-
Date: Sat, Oct 20 2007 18:06:13
However hard I try I just can't do combos in what would be called "old school". Adding a not yet done trick or linkage, not trying to get it all perfectly smooth, planning out the combo. It works fine and all, but it looks horrible. I can't understand how the combos in UPSB + PDS can look so awesome.
Anyway... I consider my "style" as a mix of Swedish and Japanese. What you called European nate is what I rather would call French & German. Swedish style is more smooth charges, passes and shadows; like Ålan, Ceedgee, Yiep and Me. -
Date: Sat, Oct 20 2007 18:38:56
Euro-Swedish Japanese Old School Korean style
I do a lot of each in my combos -
Date: Sat, Oct 20 2007 19:28:41
Use: Old School
Like: Japanese/European -
Date: Sat, Oct 20 2007 20:04:49
Same as Systematik, but I do European style a little bit more.
-
Date: Sat, Oct 20 2007 20:29:10
swedish style
i want to be able to spin korean, but i don't got the skills -
Date: Sat, Oct 20 2007 21:16:24
I'm a fan of a mix of japanese and koren style spinning. My spinning doesnt quite reflect it though lolz

Huroni Remsin got it!
Think it's a little vague to categorize your spinningstyle into only 4 different styles since I believe that everyone has his/her own style.
If I have to choose I say European, but that's not 100% true. -

japanese is not finger flexibility, that's like...bonkura's own style.
fratleym is not a good example of european style.
there is no style to define a whole community, it all depends on the individual. -
Date: Sun, Oct 21 2007 01:27:06
i would say japanese style is not finger flexiblility. only bonkura does that. infact, fratleym's spinning looks quite alot like bonkura's IMO, only less palm streches/finger streches.
i like bonkura's style, but contrary to popular belief, i don't copy it blantantly. my linkages are different, and the finger movement isn't exactly the same. or so i hope. must be original too.
i also like some spinning styles of the chinese spirit collab spinners, but i can't recall their names off-hand.
in short i like a slow and smooth style, showing full control of the pen. yeah that's how i would put it.
-
Date: Sun, Oct 21 2007 01:48:36
I don't like defining an entire board/country by a single "style"...I prefer to emulate specific spinners
In that case, I like to include elements from Cloud Traveler, Ayatori, and Saizen...of course Im not as good as them, but I want to have their styles -
Date: Sun, Oct 21 2007 01:50:50
I get entertained mostly by japanese spinning. What I do is CTT style beezys.
-
Date: Sun, Oct 21 2007 05:02:10
i have to say, I am definitely Old school+European. I aspire to David weis and Fratleym. 2 amazing spinners, just such a flow to the spinning, not just a hand and flying colors lol, no offense to anyone who likes Korean/japanese, i just prefer a smooth intricate style
Spins: Old School European
Aspires: Further European. -
Date: Sun, Oct 21 2007 05:27:39
I don't know what my style is and I haven't seen anyone else spin the way I do, so I guess I have my own style. Most of combos are usually pretty different from each other, I don't really belong more to one "defined style" than any other one, that is, if I even fit into any of these styles at all.
Ha I hope that made sense. -

Alright, from the opinions of other members, I altered my list. See below.
Korean style: Fast spinning, usually freestyle. Mini combo's such as Neosonic > FL TA Rev and Continuous MidBak 1.5. Example: Cloud Traveler
"Old school" style: Slower spinning, planned out combos, more Backarounds and Sonics. Example: Kam
French style: Fast spinning, lots of arounds, mixes mini combo's from Japanese and Korean styles. Example: Fratleym
Japanese style: Similar to Korean style, but combos are usually planned out. Example: Ryo
Bonkura style: Incredible finger flexibility, innovative things such as counters. Example: not needed -

Date: Tue, Oct 23 2007 04:13:49
sorry i can't define myself.
im pretty much everywhere.

Date: Tue, Oct 23 2007 09:08:20
I don't think that i use some style, i mixed all styles. But i think i prefer European style, because i'm european
-
Date: Tue, Oct 23 2007 10:50:12
Old school style and tohlz's style
what should I call the style useing amazing tricks (aerial, stall, etc)? example: bonkura, tohlz
I like KAM and Tohlz. ^^ -

filipino style same as korean lol

There are actually a fair few people who try to emulate Bonkura.
EDIT:@SFSR, it doesn't look repetitive to the untrained eye. But to the trained eye, it does
-
Date: Tue, Oct 23 2007 14:17:06
I meant how a style in itself could look repetitive. I would understand if the spinning of some Korean spinners looked that way, but I doubt that repetitive combos are a part of the style itself.
-
Date: Wed, Oct 24 2007 03:58:11
nah i doubt it's because the style in itself looks repititive, but merely because it is 'overused'. when i see the same tricks over and over again, i admit i will get bored.
but no collab would be complete without a few korean style spinners would it? if the whole collab was make up of Eriror style spinning(super hard tricks and smooth linkage), and lasted like 5 mins, i'm quite sure i would find it repititive. -
Date: Thu, Oct 25 2007 22:43:36
Nova, I find your description of Eriror style interesting
Is it not EVERY penspinner's goal to have difficult tricks linked smoothly? -
Date: Fri, Oct 26 2007 00:48:55
Well, some people just use Penspinning as a party trick, and some who haven't ever seen psing before might think repetitive is good, so yeah...some are different.
-
Date: Fri, Oct 26 2007 02:17:07
well. he does do alot of back palm tricks and while it's hard, the linkage is not complex. while it is entertaining to watch, especially the 2p2h, i'd rather watch fratleym spin, even though he's not as smooth.
it's just my opinion, but slow smooth combos look better than fast smooth ones to me. looks more controlled.
no offense to the Eriror, he is world number 2.
as for making combos which consist of difficult tricks linked smoothly, i prefer making combos which look good to a wide audience. combos that make an impression the first time it's seen, such that no dissection of the tricks that i'm doing is needed. this is really my goal, and although i've not been able to create one yet, i'm still practicing and hoping. -
Date: Fri, Oct 26 2007 02:36:00
labeling areas/regions with a specific style is just...wrong(?)
Every spinner develops his/her own preferences to trick selection and combo selection. For example, Eriror's style consists of many shadows and baks along with a plethora of difficult minicombos and tricks -
Date: Fri, Oct 26 2007 02:46:40QUOTElabeling areas/regions with a specific style is just...wrong(?)
i agree with you. i believe you're talking about calling something 'korean' style or 'japanese' style or whatever. i think a style should be attributed to a person, not generalising it with the country.
but how would we define style then? isn't style much based on the tricks that you do? the linkages between tricks and such. as well as the little touch you put into your combos which make them 'yours'. -
Date: Fri, Oct 26 2007 04:28:00
rather than having giant "style" lumps...I prefer to describe "styles" on a personal level. Basically, "I like including aspects of _____'s spinning in my combos" rather than bluntly stating "I spin korean/japanese"
-
Date: Fri, Oct 26 2007 19:45:56
On the other hand, stating that you "kind of" spin like another penspinner is taking away personallity in your style. The "styles" are labeled the way they are, because they are typical for those countries, and have also been developed there.
The "personal touch" you put in combos can also be the same for loads of people. I have for example recently started spinning with a "touch" that many consider to be kind of Japanese. The styles have those names because people associate them with those countries. -

Like : three others ^^! -
Date: Mon, Dec 10 2007 17:21:46
personally i think it is not the tricks that define a style. it is the presentation and the way those tricks are done/linked. because essentially everyone does the same tricks(i say this very loosely and there are always exceptions), its the way they do them that creates their style. bonkura is easy example of how one can do tricks completely differently to create a style. another more subtle way people might change their style is tempo. if you look at any leviathan combo yo will see a very unique tempo and smoother transitions between speeds.
that being said, i personally prefer smoother, controlled tempo styles. -

Nicely put That's pretty much the way i try to spin, hah and it's kinda funny how my style is starting to look pretty darn similar to yours and bonkura's. But I've been wanting it to look like that for months
-
Date: Mon, Dec 24 2007 17:16:03
i like the old school style and am trying to spin that way, but i think i have korean in there too
so i'd say 40% korean and 50% old school 10% japanese (only occasionally, but i'll mention it anyway)
trying to be about 75% old school and 25% everything else
i like bonkura for his dexterity adn creativity, and kam for his smoothness (not that bonkura's style isn't smooth, it's just a different kind of smooth; i think that kam's smoothness is slower than bonkura's and i guess i like that slower motion) -
Date: Mon, Dec 24 2007 18:54:42
I guess a sort of middle ground between European and Swedish...shadow is my favorite trick so I do it a lot along with mini combos and arounds...or at least that's what I'm trying to do.
-
Date: Tue, Dec 25 2007 06:25:44
i use my own style(at least i think so) and i like my own style.
edit: grrr, i spin simple hybrids mostly and just made 1 combo, i'm not sure whether i can say i have my own style yet, but i'm sure i'm not going to copy anyone's style, i prefer to have my own style.

yeah..but i'm sure it'll be rather difficult
one could be an all around spinner and be able to spin both styles, but to do it at the same time will be rather tough
it's like rotating your index finger on one hand in a clockwise motion, but then rotating your other finger on your other hand in a counterclockwise motion
(that's really tough)
it's gonna take a lot of mental control in order to do that cause it takes a lot of effort to even think about doing two completely different styles at the same time...it's gonna be tough for a person's mind to be able to even imagine his/her hands doing two such completely things
it'd be interesting though to see someone do korean with one hand and old school with the otherQUOTE (Ryuukohaden @ Jan 19 2008, 05:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I spin in something like a fast Old School style.

Do you gots an example of fast old school style?
It's perfectly possible to do 2 different styles, one in each hand, at the same time, so long as you can do at least 2 styles of spinning and spin with both hands at the same time. Easy.
However, it's probably only as difficult as doing a 2p2h combo in which hands are doing very different tricks at the same time. How about 2p1h with two different styles at the same time? Maybe one day... -

this is bull... bonkura is a subset of japanese...
like what xshadowfire says.. you Cannot have country styles.. it depends on the person....
so what if there is a increase of french spinners spinning with incredible finger flexibility, innovative things such as counters???
you cant have "country or region" styles. you can only have some known spinner style.. which also is kina bull.. because everyone has its own style.
if it goes by that standard, japanese style should be... Korean but with creativity....

kunekunue X pens0n style? -
Date: Thu, Jan 24 2008 09:26:03
I wrote about this before.
There is no good way to name different styles. The only possible way is to name them after what people use it. The style we are referring to as "Japanese" is quick paced, planned out, smooth, and with new-thinking. A lot of people from JEB use this style, that's where it started, and that is why it is referred to as "Japanese" style. We could also call it "The Style Of A Hundred Fighting Alligators" or something, but that would make even less sense. -
Date: Thu, Jan 24 2008 10:38:51
Well then, I aspire to something like Half Eriror-ish, quarter Sfsr-ish, eighth Fratleym-ish and eighth random Japanese...ish.
With obviously a lot of my own style all over it, but in terms of breaking down what I attempt to do, that's pretty much it. -

And I suppose I have a Korean style also although I also use a lot of spin tricks. I'm sure most people have a Korean-like style. Koreans invented a lot of great mini-combos. -

Alan ya f**king funny, ok.
This is ok, now I can tell real things...
Yes, I remember; the tomato sauce! Nan, not that, what else... Claim my racism to the world? no, that is for the KKK.
Ah, I remember; my favourite style of spin is BonKura/s777. When I will be good, I am gonna spin like this.
For moments where it is hard to spin seriously, or just don't worth the weight to bring a real mod, I'd like to master a bit the David weis-style spinning, with the unsharpened pencil.
Last thing; Claim my racism to the world? no, that is for the KKK. was a joke. I am master for makes myself laughing... lol. -

Bonkura's style is not a good representation of "japanese style." His style is unique (and DaThroat's for that matter). spinners like saizen, eban, toro, nekura, and kuzu (to name a few) are wut real japanese style is.

Date: Thu, May 22 2008 16:09:34
I don't have a style for the moment, but I aim something like Japanese.
Just wanna say, David Weis has a pretty unique (and cool) style, composed of continuous, TA, TA 1.5, Baks, Baks 1.5 and taps. All this with a pencil this is enough special to mention it here.
Ah yeah, there is also the Fratleym style that don't belong to any category... We could find it a name, dunno, for the David Weis we could say Weissen, (like aanother example: nhk9), and for Frat, who is really unique, we could say Frat style...

Date: Sat, May 24 2008 07:42:47
There's been quite some debate on styles, here's mine:
Korean: Fast spinning, not planned out, lots of continuous tricks and mini combos. eg, Nory, Erirornal Kraione
Japanese: Fast but slower than Korean spinning, a variety of tricks. eg. Bonito, Key3
Old School: Slower spinning, infinities, stalls, backarounds. eg. tohlz, Kam
Weissan: Slower spinning, backarounds, taps, TS 1.5
Bonkura Style: Slower spinning, combos show extreme finger dexterity. eg. Bonkura, DaThroat
Frat Style: Slower spinning, wipers, arounds. eg, Fratleym
Some spinners don't fit into these categories, eg x1213
Use: noob style T_T

Look for some spinners who spin in this style (try to find as many as you can), and then look for some hand motions or tricks/ mini-combo that are being used a lot in all or most of those spinners, and try to imitate it a bit.

I do a mixture of Korean and Old School.

When I'm filming, usually Old School with a tinge of Korean regardless of the pens I use. -

No, he uses korean
Before you guys got it wrong, Old-school is like focus on showing off to people and often use camera angle like thisSpinner
^
^
^
Camera
(Like the one on Kam's superhandz vid)
and spinning while standing. They use short and usually easy combos but impress non-spinners (Audiences) with wide-appealing tricks like Infinity release or some magic tricks but not really impressive when using on the camera angle that we use nowadays.
Examples - Kam, Le0n, Kaisen etc.

i think i spin old school, my combos are usualy made with planned out "chains" of 3-5 tricks. and its also relatively slow.
i thinks its mainly because im still experimenting with what my abilities are.. -
