It seems there is some 5A debate here.

Joe, we could care less about how 5A is scored, 5A is 5A, whether it scores well or not.  
Theres tech 5A, flashy 5A, weird 5A, its all 5A. Like tech, flow, weird 1A, 5A has its different styles.

For one to say someone else shows the reason its called 5A, thats just stupid, whether its big flashy dice spins and manipulation, or stealthing the dice around segments into new stuff, it is what it is.

Every video seen here is 5A, now dont be Joeys all of yall, and go back to throwing

Ummm… all of the videos except the first one were elementary efan combos or beesting variations so I would have to go with the first video (but he still has lots of room for improvement).
