2011 Worlds Picks

@frodoslair

When you see how unpredictable and inconsistent other 1A players have been at placing top 3, makes you realise just how awesome Mickey really is…

Still holding out for Luo Yi Cheng though - just one clean routine and he could have it!

I know if Luo Yi Cheng has a clean freestyle he most likely will win.

1a: if jensen or yuuki want it either of them have an equal chance of taking it. if not it’s probably gentry’s
2a: shinji. there’s really no other option. if he doesn’t show shu takada gets my vote
3a: if kentaro is well practiced and at the contest it’s his. if not it’s a fair toss up between hank and taiichiro
4a: rei, tusbassa, and kazuaki all have a fair shot at the title
5a: matsura will probably take his third title. tyler, miguel, and steling all have much better tricks but matsura has that silly speedy e-fan going for him and the judges seem to go nuts for it. takuma could take it from him though if he comes back well practiced

[MichaelN (mikenak1)]

my picks:
1a- Mickey, with his new style, he has the potential at winning first.
2a- Shu Takada
3a- I think Minato can go two in a row.
4a- It’ll be a battle between Tsubasa and Kazu Sugimura. Either extreme tricks or graceful tricks.
5a- Either Takeshi or Takuma if he’s coming this year.

1a: Tough one with many top notch players stepping their game up. Christopher Chia will be tough to beat, but it is not impossible (as proved by Marcus Koh in WCT) Jensen has a unique style that scores well, Mickey can always bring his game to worlds, Paul Kerbel is wayy better than people think, Yuuki is always in the mix, Gentry is going, as proved by worlds in the past its really anybody’s game. It really depends on who hits their freestyle cleanest, always a tough one.

2a: There are definantly many contenders for this division as well. Shinji is the obvious choice, but who knows if he will be at worlds. Yasushi Furukawa is soo technical, but his unoriginal wrap style may haunt him if Shinji shows up. Joesph Harris is consistant, something many 2a players lack, and Grant Johnson can always put on a show for the judges.

3a: KENTARO!!! IF he is there he will win. Otherwise, Minato Furuta looks like a serious contender

4a: Japan Nats Winner. I totally forgot his name but his style scores so well. Fluid and smooth too.

5a: Hard to say with some seriously game changeing 5a showing up. If Sterling Goes clean and puts on a show, he has the tricks to win. lil Takeshi is tough to go through, but is not impossible to beat. the 2009 worlds winner is really good. With a Japan nats win he should be an obvious favorite of many top notch players. Tyler definantly has the tricks an ability to take home the gold, but only if he is clean and has a preformance similar to his 2009 worlds preformance. Miggy is always in the mix with some of the best tricks in 5a.

In the end this whole argument comes down to consistancy. The players technical ability is similar, and its just a matter of who goes clean and who doesnt.

just to say gentry is not boring.
1A jensen if he is there.
2A shinji if not yasushi.
3A dont even know not a big 3A fan
4A ben conde he is one of the only ones i know that plays 4A
5A miggy or tyler they both are the same to me
AP definatly john ando shaqler team. the best last year!!!

[Starscreem88]

1A: Gotta be Mickey cuz winning 2nd three times in row is tiring.
2A: Yasushi Furukawa
3A: Kentaro Kimura
4A: Rei Iwakura
5A: Takashi Mastsuura

Happy Throwing! =]

I hope… Too bad for that e fan speedy stuff that the judges like. They have way better tricks and are way better in my opinion. More impressive to me too. They appear the same to me too. Maybe its because they live together? I saw that on the yoyo worlds 2010 documentary trailer.

3a kentaro
4a john narum
5a takeshi matsuura
