His flowy style with slack is something I haven’t seen before, and I really enjoy watching it. 1:13 especially, that blew my mind! ---

Man Takeshi is getting so good. His style is so fresh and visually appealing and yes he does incorporate a lot of slack elements in his tricks, which is always a good thing, can’t wait to see what he has prepared for worlds. ---

> [@Zorro](#): > > What yoyo was that? Really? After that insane freestyle all you care about is what blurry yellow yoyo he was using? 😛 That was amazing. Such control, flow and precision, his rejections are so fast and clean that it’s hard to keep up with them all. It’s amazing to see such a unique style winning a major contest like this, I can’t wait to see how this guy progresses. 😃 ---

if you watch his prelim, you’ll notice that he didn’t use any of his finals tricks.
