Cool to see he got a signature, it’s well deserved.
I feel like his throw design represents his playstyle, not the videos that got him the following he has. I think he took the name Godspeed from his speed combo because that’s what he blew up off of and that’s what he’s known for by the mass public who follow him. It’s marketing more than anything imo.
However… This is what I know him for.
To me, his style doesn’t scream “Godspeed” or “speed combos” at all. It’s like if someone like Shu got famous off of the Godspeed trick by coincidence and everyone expected him to release a competition yoyo, but he releases a looper from left field because that’s more true to who he is.
I personally can’t vibe with the TikTok culture, but I’m glad he’s taking advantage of the platform and I’m glad he’s gotten so much success. He didn’t just get big overnight, go watch his first few vids, he’s like 6 years old teaching Gentry tricks… He’s been working at it non stop, and his 15~ or so edits on youtube before the godspeed explosion are enough proof that the kid is insanely good at yo-yoing. The downside to me is that his followers don’t understand nor appreciate the art this guy makes, they just want the costco free sample when this guy’s got the whole damn store in his pocket.
