Spoiler:
confused about GPC? conceding the doubles? I can't beleive they only have 2/6 spinners available... -
Date: Mon, May 5 2008 16:07:18
When's deadline for videos?
Is it possible that GPC will choose spinners for double video later? Or is it battle won by PPP? -
Date: Mon, May 5 2008 16:18:27
i guess its possible... jjust make a video
-
Date: Mon, May 5 2008 16:43:50
hmmm. the thing is:
my hand is injured... it already had been injured during my semi-clip. so i really would like to do a break now.
maniok, le0n dont have time...
then alu is alone, and that wouldnt make that much sense. -
Date: Mon, May 5 2008 16:48:53
HELL YEAH! :D I'm up against Saizen, this will be sooo awesome.

No Key3, Ayatori wtf?
Pe/PDR hasn't had a turn in the entire tourney.
Good luck to all the teams, my money is on JEB and PPP. -

Pe/PDR resigned from the WC in the semi-finals because SweSpin chose bävern above him, even though they promised Pe/PDR would get the turn then. -

And from where have you heard that?
I have no clue how good Pe is nowadays, and as far as I've experienced he's not very good with deadlines. I've asked him to send in videos for the rounds even though he wasn't to participate, if we needed a reserve or otherwise so I could see how he was. I never received anything. I just don't know if I can trust him producing a combo.
As for promising him the spot in the semis, no one was ever promised anything. Most of us agreed for a start that the double would be Pe + Ålan, but due to reasons I will not release in public, since I think they are highly interboard, bävern was chosen instead. I would've wanted Pe in the second round, but had no clue where we had him then. I'm sorry he never was in the WC, even though he was in the team.
He never resigned from the WC-team either, he has just been really inactive over the past few months (well, years really) atleast forum-wise and all of a sudden made a thread about his "departure from the forum", even though most of us hadn't seen him there for quite a long time already. -

Well, I'm sorry if I didn't tell the truth in your eyes, but this was more or less what he told me personally.. Thanks for explaining what really happened then. -

From the World Cup's Website: "The deadline for all videos will be on Friday 6th May. Good Luck!"
Deadline was yesterday, two days for filming?
edit: yesterday was Tuesday;d So is it 16th May?
edit2: Nevermind, Crash has updated it. -

I have a feeling that the ending result will be.
JEB
SweSpin
PPP

....oh well.....JEB FTW!!! 
-
Date: Sat, May 17 2008 16:55:15
Yeah, I'll just be frank and say that I believe SweSpin was better.
GPC versus PPP is a lot closer. -
Date: Sat, May 17 2008 17:07:30
Some people have already started bitching about the hack in my video, which was caused by Premier, and which I didn't fix due to lack of time. If you actually know what you're looking at, you can see that the trick I am doing continues directly after the millisecond long hack. For those who want to bitch more though, the source video for my combo can be found in the info of our Double Video on youtube.
Oh, and Saizen was pure <3 btw. -
Date: Sat, May 17 2008 17:33:53

Did Saizen drop his pen at the end there? It sure looks like he did but then they cut it off.
-
Date: Sat, May 17 2008 18:18:24
It's a part of the transition to Pesp. Seriously guys...

Date: Sat, May 17 2008 19:00:30
I really believe SweSpin will be the World Cup winners for this year. None of the JEB videos really caught my attention, and the doubles video was just the same as the semi-finals one. Good job to everyone who participated.

I don't know, I think it's going to be a tough decision. SweSpin and JEB are both really good.
I liked the semi-final battles better. A lot of good videos then. I miss key3. How could they not use key3? -
Date: Sat, May 17 2008 20:48:55
haha sweet ending Sfsr
-
Date: Sat, May 17 2008 20:53:49
Alans combo was so smooth and nice.
I think SweSpin took it.
and PPP took 3rd.Rarkas video was super clean -

Date: Sat, May 17 2008 20:55:34
Thanks K4S
Pretty lulz really, I made that video without any expectations to win. Maybe I should have put more effort in it... -
Date: Sat, May 17 2008 21:18:02
break down for your combo Sfsr? thanks, twas one of the best
saizens combo was sweet, but the video lacked and i vote for swespin.
toro kinda disapointed me, he was good, but i think alan is going to win.
kuzu won in my opinion, but swespin will beat JEB
and for the 3rd-4th battle:
minwoo
McDudelsaeck
not too sure who will win in the doubles
congrats everyone -
Date: Sat, May 17 2008 21:18:06
lol sfsr the source video, i think you hate towels now
-
Date: Sat, May 17 2008 21:34:30
Haha, kind of. The thing is, I filmed that on Thursday, and had before getting this combo down planned to film more on Friday. I got down a combo though, figured it was good enough, and ended up using it. Haha, so I just had to throw that towel in what you saw there + a couple of more times.
Oh, and as for the source video, I now replaced it with a downloadable version of the Double Video that I re-exported from Premier in higher quality, so the hack is gone there.
I'll try to break down my combo later, it's just a freestyle though so I'll so how good it goes... I bet it would be easier for someone else. -
Date: Sat, May 17 2008 22:30:10
Did anybody else notice two insane hiccups in Toro's video...?

Dude, I was thinking in my head "Oh man, they copied kUzu + Saizen's idea... amazing..." (sarcasm)
And then breaking the pen? Made me say "oh shit" out loud. Definitely caught my attention.

Date: Sat, May 17 2008 22:56:29QUOTE (Sfsr @ May 17 2008, 06:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>What?
The whole "pen pass" concept.
I don't really mean anything by it, but they were the first people that I saw do it.
So in my head it kinda just looked like you ripped that idea, and then, Pen Snap brought it over the top.
Viva SweSpin. -

Viva SweSpin.
uh?
the whole concept of double video is to make a transition... although it doesnt have to be an aerial.
here is the first instance of "pen pass" as you call it:
i think this video dates from August 2005. -
Date: Sun, May 18 2008 07:01:21
I think this is a really close one. I think Toro wins over Ã…lan. I think Hamor and Sfsr wins the double, and Ceedgee vs kUzu is like 50/50.
@ Zombo: Aah, sweet memories at that video. -
Date: Sun, May 18 2008 07:14:17
why is all Jeb spinner's videos are short...
GOOOOOOOOO Swespin!! -
Date: Sun, May 18 2008 09:41:49
seriously,i dun think swespin will win
alan vs toro(winner)
Ceedgee vs kUzu
both have chances to win,but i think ceedgee is better
Sfsr & Hamor vs Saizen & Pesp
is clearly that saizen and pesp video is better,the smoothness,difficulty and creativity is just really better than them -
Date: Sun, May 18 2008 12:48:58
i am pretty sure that in Sfsr's part of the swespin's double, at least two videos were cut together...

Date: Sun, May 18 2008 13:28:38
Dash. This doesn't matter anymore, check the new youtube link a few posts down instead ->
MY COMBO IN THE DOUBLE VIDEO HAS NOT BEEN CUT. DUE TO LACK OF TIME AT THE DEADLINE I EXPORTED A LOW-QUALITY VERSION OF THE DOUBLE VIDEO FROM PREMIER, WHICH CAUSED A HACK TO APPEAR IN MY COMBO. A HIGH-QUALITY EXPORTED VERSION OF THE DOUBLE VIDEO, WITHOUT THE HACK, CAN BE FOUND HERE -> http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PU9VIVBS
THE SOURCE VIDEO FROM WHICH I CUT MY COMBO CAN BE FOUND ON DAILYMOTION.
Do I really have to re-upload it to YouTube or can people just read this..? The new video I exported in high-quality shouldn't even be needed, it's obvious from the video with a hack in that it's not cut, if you just look closely. -
Date: Sun, May 18 2008 13:38:07
well if you have the video ready why not upload it on youtube... looks nicer anyway

i feel like ur gettin pushed around like Chautran now....
imo i think Swespin has got this.
an did toro have a glitchy camera or was his hand twitching like crazy?? -
Date: Tue, May 20 2008 08:52:04
its funny how people are like 'omgomg sfsr edited his video' but noone says anything about toro's video 0:07~0:08.
-
Date: Tue, May 20 2008 09:54:24
Toro stuffed up his combo so he did that move to make it look smooth. No 3d1t.

No, that was just a new style toro employed -- at least I think so. It's a nice style. His pen flick was pretty cool. Can anyone guess how it's done?
-
Date: Thu, May 22 2008 01:40:52
Wow, Toro's combo was just flat out amazing. Penspinning as a whole has progressed so much.
