    xero had a much better flow to his, vn's could've done without the assisted spinning.

    +1 Xero.

    Quite an amazing combo. The beginnning was perfect, the rest of it, while good, couldn't really compare.


    @ VN, Also a very nice combo. Nice amount of tricks and difficulty between them, but perhaps you could try to practice them a bit more, because at the state they are in right now, there were a few pauses in the combo. Nice work though

    GG both of you thumb.gif

    VN, while your opener was pretty nice, the rest of your combo lacked substance.
    You had a very jagged transition into your assisted spinning, and you went off camera in the beginning.
    Also, work on a better finisher.

    Again, this all comes with practice, but you're doing great with what you've got. thumb.gif

    VN, nice start to combo, but the middle was a unsmooth. good use of "unusual" tricks though

    you could have done a better ending, e.g. fl ta rev (left hand) > (right hand) twisted sonic 23-12 > ta ext. bust to air (catch 12 left hand)

    sorry for my dodgy notation.

    Xero's kind faster, and Vn looks good too.

    VN- great job, i liked howyou merged Coulumbs tipped 2 hand combo with vic's wtr2 ending. i personaly like VNs better .

    Xero- you were faster no doubt about that but you to damn sloppy imo....... you also have hard shit but sloppyness is no excuse.

    o.0...? um... what? Where exactly do you see sloppiness in xero's vid? the only part i see is possibly at
    -00:08 which wasn't even that bad
    -the shadow at the end
    -the not 100% perfect triple bust at the end...

    and if sloppiness is not acceptable in xero's video (if much of it even exists...), how can you ignore all the points of "sloppiness" in VN's video??
    no offense VN, but you had many pauses and fumbles throughout your vid...

    VN's issues
    -00:01, out of screen, i can't tell waht that's suppose to be..and aerial?
    -00:04, twisted sonic cobra bite... had a huge pause afterwards, xero did the same trick and linked out of it much more smoothly
    -00:05, pen got caught in his fingers
    -00:06-00:08, the pen seemed to be in that stall position for too long before he decided to come in with his other hand, the other hand should've already started coming the second he stalled it, if not sooner (wasn't too big of an issue though)
    -00:08-00:12, this whole section, while nice, didn't seem entirely smooth and had a bit of rigidness in it
    -00:12-00:15, TF charge > FL ta --> other hand TF charge > FL ta --> other hand TF charge > toss > catch ...........um, not a good finisher -.-''

    VN, i had expected a bit more from you.. =\ at least a smooth combo... you seem to incorporating tricks that are too difficult for you at the moment, and although you show ability and enough skill to execute them, no offense, but i don't personally feel like you're ready to be doing twisted sonic cobra bites and complicated 2h1p combos like that...

    Once again, i'm sorry for completely ripping your combo apart -.-'' but i'm curious to see where Aod see's Xero's apparent "sloppiness"
