Voted for Sfsr because most of TLD's combo seemed accidental.

I nulled.
Both were equally impressive in my point of view. -

Copied from the video info, breakdown + short info about what I do:
Shadow Rev T1-34 -> Pass 34-23 -> Side Sonic 23-13 -> IndexMiddleAround Rev 13-22 -> Counter MiddleAround 22-23 -> Inv Sonic 23-13 -> Pass 13-34 -> Inv Twisted Sonic 34-23 -> Twisted Sonic 23-12 -> Wiper T1-34 -> Flush Sonic 34-14 -> Wiper 14 -> IndexAround 14-12 -> Inv Sonic Rev 12-23 -> Counter Sonic Rev 23-24 -> Twisted Sonic 24-12 -> Fl TA Rev T1-23 -> Inv Shadow 23-23 -> Sonic 23-13 -> Pass 13-34 -> Inv Twisted Sonic 34-23 -> Devil's Sonic Shadow Bust 23-12 -> ThumbAround
There are several parts in this combo that I would like to draw your attention to. The first thing is my Countered Around. It starts out with a Side Sonic, which during the Inv Sonic part gets interrupted from 13, thrown into a Reverse IndexAround that drops down to 22, and then gets countered around the middlefinger. Now that's something I haven't seen anyone do before. The next part is my Infinity that I bust, which is actually a Flush Sonic. More complicated than it seems, thus. The rest of the combo is fairly simple, with the characteristic Inv Shadow and the compulsory ThumbAround as a finisher.
Oh, and please keep in mind that we as Theme have to "include something creative" (even though you don't need to base your vote on this it can be good to keep in mind when watching the videos) -

Overall I liked Sfsr's more because it was smooth and the rythm was kept through out and ofc, ta end ^^
I wasn't a fan of the creative parts in TLDscrops clip thus

I voted for Sfsr because I just felt his combo was better.

Was it a Flush Sonic ~ Wiper 14 > IA 14-12? -

My vote goes to Sfsr.
Here's the thing about TLD and his combos: they may seem creative, but they are always the same kind of trick: a Stall. I can't help but recall to the many other battles he's been in and come to the conclusion that his spinning isn't as creative as others may make it out to be. So... with that in mind, I voted based on all the other criteria and felt that Sfsr has an overall better combo. -

I second that. I always wondered why people labeled TLD as very creative. -

+1 Sfsr.
His combo was really smooth.
Although TLD was smooth too but they way he did his stall was a little too... weird... -

Voted for Sfsr. His combo looks good, like all other his combos. Very nice smoothness and i like part with counter MA. TLDScorp's combo is much easyer and this stall... Idea is good, but execution. He simply put the pen on the pinky without nice linkage.

...Don't put down TLD
TLD is a great spinner...stalls are great tricks. But stalls should look planned. Your stall TLD just looked umm accidental...maybe even because you didn't hold it very long..
As of Sfsr...you don't need a big mind to come up with Wiper -> Flush Sonic lol.
Besides that I liked this combo more than your other combos
Maybe you should stop using so much complicated hybrids because they hurt my fingers while watching 
(with you normal camara quality this combo would even been even better but I think this is more than good enough...Don't film against the light next time.
)

It would be Flush Sonic -> Wiper, and I didn't say that, but neither do I exactly see anyone else do it. Is a bigger mind needed to come up with the idea to rest the pen on your pinky after having pressed it against your wrist? Not really, but even fewer people would do that.
@ Gunblakes: of course it is ;D -

yea my stalls looked kinda accidental. the reason i looked badly linked cuz i was trying to do a stall on middlefingger with the tip of the otehr side of hte pen pushed against my forearm but it fell and landed on my pinky, so i continued the combo... o well xD ur a better spinner
