4Lz+4T and 3A+3T is worth the same as 4Lz+3T and 3A+4T.
The current system puts very little value on being able to do a 4-4 combo. Unless he also had a 4A.
Right! This is something I've constantly questioned since about 2010. Difficult jumps done as the second or third jump in combo should have some kind of bonus addition in base value IMO, ie. a triple done as a second or third jump gets 1.1x the value, a quad done as the second or third jump (some day.. who knows) gets 1.2x the value, or whatever.
Malinin's LP setup from Austria was:
4Lz, 4T, 3A, 4S, 4T+Eu+3S*, 3Lz+3T*, 3Lz+3Lo* , for a total of
77.42 in jump vase value. 4 quads.
Under these new hypotheticals, it's reasonable to think he can
attempt (not necessarily fully rotate) the following:
4Lz, 4S, 3F+4Lo, 3Lz+4T, 4T*, 3A+Eu+3S*, 3A* (here, I'm putting three of the relatively 'easier' jumping passes in the bonus elements). This moves his base value up to
85.73 and potentially higher if the 3+4's come in the second half. 5 quads. But a few things: to maximize points, he would have to do a 3F+quad on one of those combos rather than two 3Lz, and two 3A instead of one- which is a question mark.
If he can do a 4Lo on the end of a triple, then the quad alone may be there, too.
The 8+ points he's gaining for those insane combo risks just isn't really worth it IMO. A << on either and it's going to sink his score.
