Before you all shout- yes Vengeance did change their lineup, but that was approved after given the excuse of no connection with the spinner and other things, this is ALSO the reason why you have subs, to have it specially approved by me in case this happens.
Another thing- this will be the last round, next round is the final.
The 2 teams with the best score from each brackets will move on to the final.
I'll decide if I'll make a semi-final.

Zweeb and I are gonna get owned. I can feel it.

Neophine's fps is choppy. :\ Good spinning though.
Heh, I liked zweebna's and chobi's transfer. +1 for the sound effects.
Awonw's vido was quite nice aside from the few faults. I liked.
Jopi's linkage is nice but his video is too short. I think you've got this, shadow.
Go Xero! I hope to see more of your spinning. It's nice to see how much you've improved.
@Chobi
I wouldn't say owned. You both put up a really good fight, but vengeance's tag was too good. -
Date: Tue, May 26 2009 18:46:19
Good job everyone! I liked the videos this round, but I have one question:
what happens for
BaiMai & arnold (DGN)
vs.
Ellusion67 and XYZaki (Armageddon)
will both teams not recieve points? Thanks, and wow, this is the last round already, I didn't expect that. Good luck guys
-
Date: Tue, May 26 2009 18:54:38
I agree with Charlie but of course still hope for Jopi. x)
Dunno what's the matter with Neophine's cam, the fps were much better in the past. Maybe he had to change the camera.
I like the idea of the sound effects on your double, Zweebna + Chobi.
It will be hard for you but good luck guys anyway. =)
But I have to say that I'm pretty disappointed about the ones who don't even send in a video. Espacially Encore with that full breakdown.
What's wrong? -
Date: Tue, May 26 2009 19:17:06
Wow, i'm gonna be very disappointed if Woshini beats xero > _ >
-
Date: Tue, May 26 2009 20:17:49
is ecs really gonna win again by default?
this is ridiculous. i want to just lose already. xD -
Date: Wed, May 27 2009 11:01:08
Hmmm my video is not that long, correct... but i also could spam 30 seconds and move my hand like a windscreen wiper haha xD(nothing against your combo shadow, it was really smooth but n0t really difficult imo) btw i liked your transfer ( nothing new, but it looked pretty nice in your combo)
Take a look @ Taeyrong in wt... his combos were like... 12 seconds long and he won a lot of his battles^^ i dont think that the time of clips says that much;)
Good luck to everyone:) -
Date: Wed, May 27 2009 11:08:44
still can submit a vid ?
-
Date: Wed, May 27 2009 11:30:53
No, I'm sorry you cannot submit a vid 2 days late without notifying me with a reason beforehand.

lol
Its almost pathetic since these teams all registered for the tournament fully knowing they'd have to submitt multiple single and double videos.
Also, I won't be able to judge the finals since I'll be away doing thesis research, so goodluck to all who decide to participate

You have a point and I liked your linkage, but such a short time frame lowers the difficulty. Take a look at peem for example, he tends to spam for 15 seconds and spends the rest of the 10 seconds doing something big. If he just spent 10 seconds on one mega-awesome mini-combo and that was his whole combo, it just wouldn't look as good. The first 15 seconds helps build up to his main highlights. Just my 2 cents.
Meh, maybe a punishment for not turning in your video will raise the turn in ratio. -

..
so i'll basically be punished outside of the tournament for not wanting to turn in a video inside the tournament? -

Uh, I was just kidding ^^" I don't really think actions such as bans should be taken...
But if I may ask, WHY didn't you want to turn a vid in? or why didn't you tell Thewave about it before so he'll atleast be ready for the situation? =\ -

idk i just don't feel like participating in this tournament anymore. well that's why there are subs but none of the subs did anything.. -
Date: Wed, May 27 2009 21:44:11
hmm ye, maybe you are right, maybe its better to spam a bit, but in this combo i thought its not nessesary because i liked it without spamming...
ill try next time just a better combo...QUOTE (Charlie @ May 27 2009, 08:19 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>You have a point and I liked your linkage, but such a short time frame lowers the difficulty.

Ermm... subs have to be confirmed directly by me.
So either way you had to tell me something. -

no they stated that they were gonna take responsibility. besides isn't it the team leader who reports all this to you?
btw our team is gonna pull out, not that it makes much difference since we're going to be kicked out before next round. if you have any questions take it to shoeman6 -

Wow. Nothing against my combo? That whole post was an insult to my combo. What makes your combo so much better than mine? You had two easy spins, filler, and a finisher. I had more shadows than you, and more arounds than you. My combo was 2 handed, with a decent and smooth transfer. All modesty aside, I had a more appealing and more difficult style than you.
You suggest that my style looks like windscreen wiping spam. And yet you bash that as the strong point of my combo. If it's so easy, why don't you add some style to your tricks? You know, the ones that are so much more difficult than mine? Why don't you do your difficult tricks with style? I'll tell you why, because it's hard. Because style takes difficulty too. I don't like your insinuation that my smooth, appealing combo is less difficult than yours because you had a few extra spins in it.
I'm not one to boast about myself, I can tell you that. I just find your blatant, extraneous insults to my video highly offensive. And quite frankly, I hated all of Taeyrong's videos. -

amen brother..... but come on everybody, lets not be criticizing each other here.... I think what we can all agree on is that I have just about the shitiest combo you could make, and wouldn't have stood a snowballs chance in hell if thumbskiller actually made a vid, and leave things at that....
high tempers was a problem we had during the first ecs tournament, and second ecs tournament, and now during this tournament.... I think the feeling of competition really gets people over-excited, but lets just relax and keep any bashing we do to lolzy stuffs ~_~? -

The length of the video actually says a lot. The length tells one how proficient a spinner is at his tricks. A longer video means the spinner is more proficient at the trick's performed. For example, there are some really tough mini-combos that I could do easily in a short combo but would have a harder time doing in a longer combo. Imo, a short combo is more like a snack while a longer combo is more like a full-course dinner. Both are good, but which is better?
Also, a lot of people have complained that Taeryong's vids are too short during the WT (and tended to repeat tricks/mini-combos) and lacking in substance. Once again, the snack and lunch analogy works well. A snack simply does not have enough substance. While they may work very well for collaborations, it does not fare as well in tournaments or battles where judges/people hunger for more than just that.
Also, shadow's windshield-like portion is harder to execute than you may think. I believe it was something like a rev handaround ~ handaround (counter handaround?) -- I don't remember for sure. I remember talking to shadow about this trick a while ago and what looks nice about it isn't the motion of the pen, but the motion of the hand. It depends on style and I also know from experience that style can be just as hard to accomplish as a difficult trick. -

what an obnoxious post...
cut the delicate sarcasm and say it straight out man -
Date: Thu, May 28 2009 11:26:20
jopi said nothing wrong
he said it's better to have a shorter combo which is more focused than a combo full of spam
as a general principle, this is 100% true -
