Will you clatify what a gt suicide is? Do you have to catch it on the same finger every time? Do you have to catch it with no twists in the string? Do you have etc. edit: unofficially got 81 if you count trillions of regens and sidewinders. ---

> [@stuarttw](#): > > Will you clatify what a gt suicide is? Do you have to catch it on the same finger every time? Do you have to catch it with no twists in the string? Do you have etc. Get into a green triangle. Then swing the whole thing counterclockwise around your throw hand, catching the open loop with your non-throw hand. Yes, you should be using the same finger every time, and the longer you do it, the more your string tension will suffer (it’s twisting around your throw hand). ---

Ok that regen thing is ridiculus cuz with it I got 200 on the nose before I quit. I guess it would be okay if there was a limited number of regens. 20 regens for 200 gt suicides. ---

I guess it would be okay if there was a limited number of regens. 20 regens for 200 gt suicides. Yep, this is what I thought would happen. GT Suicides are relatively easy if you’re allowed to add more spin and manage your string tension. It’s the string tension and slowing down that make it difficult. ---

So, are regens and adjusting string tension allowed? It might go to the thousands for some people. ---

I would vote no. I know it was meant to level the playing field for those who don’t have high end yoyos, but I think a single throw is the better contest. My $0.02 ---

42 and then got spaghetti string. Edit: if I can adjust my tension and do a regen periodically I could easily get into the 100’s. ---

Alrighty, due to multiple people bringing up concerns I won’t allow regens. I guess I’m the only one who isn’t a master at them 😛 No leaving the mount, but what you do within that mount is up to you. If you can adjust tension within it, go for it. And no, you can catch them with your hand, wrist, nose, or feet, as long as you aren’t like, cross arm catching and flipping over and only doing a half suicide or something similar. ---

K… so CAN’T: Regens do cross-armed 1/2 suicide/suicide 1.5 thingies CAN: Catch it with anything other than your TH QUESTION: Can you do Takayasu Tanaka Inverted GT suicides as seen in this video at 0:48-ish? [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/9/5/c954595a7a03a686f39e5511217b68be6c1c606f.jpeg "Turning Point Clip Video") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9svEJ3T-Bk) since it would help with string tension and add variety while still being a gt suicide 😃 I was gonna PM Pajamas about this but it felt like cheating if I knew something simple that some of the community didn’t know about and he would’ve probably told everyone in this thread about the variation anyway so yeah is it allowed? EDIT: Do you also have to get the yoyo back to your hand with #1 or #2 1.  via bind after a SUCCESSFUL GT suicide meaning the video is pretty much flawless trick-wise OR 2.  can you accidentally miss the last one, let it get a knot, and count the suicides before that ---
