He lost twice. He lost one point to spencer, but beat 3rd place by like 20 points. He lost 2 points to ando, but beat the 3rd by at least 15 points… He won’t lose this time. Unless he misses all his whips like last year, Hiroyuki WILL WIN!
I don’t know if I can agree with that, I’ve watched him over the last few years, and his routine is getting old. It’s pretty much the exact same thing every time. I have seen way more inovative tricks and routines by other players. I love Mickey and look up to him, but if he wants to have a shot, he needs to change things up and make some new tricks.
lols his routines may be old, but they can score him 100 points if he doesn’t fail (2007 and 2008 worlds). He repeats tricks, but those are his signatures, and some of them even give him 20 straight points if he succeeds them. Thats why he does it, to get maximum points. If he doesn’t fail for 1 routine, he wins the competition.
Notice why Ando won? Because he did things no one has done yet. Mickey may be able to score points, but you may notice tricks people are doing now are harder. Because of this, they get more points after the trick due to how difficult it was. If Mickey is doing tricks one year, and the next year he does it, it is easier compared to the other person, who did a new thing. Therefore, Mikey gets less points.

but some national masters actually participate in Artistic Performance o.0 are you sure they aren’t allowed? Takahiko Hasegawa participated in Asia Pacific 2008 4a prelims lol
I also throw my vote for Augie, I’ve only met him once, but he seems to be one of the funnest and nicest guys you’d ever wanna meet. And his speed is amazing. He’s a great performer to boot.
