To the main point of the thread, I actually agree, I think the scoring is good as is. I really enjoy this short video essay by Jamie of Spiral
That said, I’ve also really enjoyed how Scales has been iterating their scoring system each contest they hold, and each contest they hold seems to get better as they learn and adapt from it.
Also, this is third-hand information from what I’ve read on the forum (link below) but Takeshi reportedly stopped competing after 2018 because he didn’t like how the current scoring system worked w.r.t. hard technical tricks. I’d be really interested to see what his ideal ruleset would be or see how more contests run like his “Chain Reaction” event would turn out.
