[her grace]

Chipeur

-Now that is a costume!
-He's taking a loooooong time to get to his starting pose
-3a spun out and hand down
-3f-2t
-3z
-His jumps kinda drop out of the sky
-step sequence felt kinda long, either he needed more energy or I'm getting tired of step sequences

 

[Jeschke]

2 step sequences were such a stupid idead back then.
This was so hard to watch for some skaters.

 

[Jeschke]

Boss!!!!
Vice!!!!
Judges!!!!

To whatever that was related

 

[SmallFairy]

Plush couldn’t decide whether to shave or not?

 

[Vagabond]

To whatever that was related

This entire project.

I really preferred Plushy's mullet back in the early 00s when it was fluffy, dry, and kind of damaged. I don't like this greasier version with less volume.

 

[Jeschke]

I can't stand Plushy, but that 3a was top notch

Plushy's transitions I think I saw one quick spread eagle there, and one mohawk. And a change of edge on the landing of the axel. That's about it.

Also, a lousy slow twizzle during the "footwork".

 

[alchemy void]

This entire project.

@Jeschke should get the almost all the credit for pulling this together! @misskarne and @skatingguy did all the heavy lifting on the tech panel--I slacked bigtime.

 

[Vagabond]

Do crossovers count as Transitions?

If so, Plushenko should get credit for them.

 

[Amy L]

Is this the slowwwwwwwwest arrangement of Aranjuez ever??

 

[Jeschke]

So the most interesting part in PCS is a closer look on the diversity in the Interpretation category

 

[Colonel Green]

Such elegance, such connection between the music and his arm and leg movements!

 

[casken]

Respect to Plushy, but that program is baaaad.

The footwork clearly was cheorgraphed to different music, and the construction is lazy.

 

[rosetintmyworld]

Ughhhh why didn't they stay with the techno Flamenco or whatever that small excerpt was. This ending just is like a ton of bricks.

 

[her grace]

Plushenko

-patented shoulder lifts on way to starting pose. He also takes an enormous amount of time to get there.
-4t-3t
-3a Is that half-hearted knee bend at the end a transition out of it?
-3z with nice solid exiting edge
-step sequences with way more verve and variety than the musical notes playing
-nice spin
-He looks totally relaxed and in command

 

[Jeschke]

Plushy's transitions

Do crossovers count as Transitions?

Pay attention to J1

 

[rfisher]

All the Plushy haters can suck it

 

[meggonzo]

I'm on the edge of my seat for the PCS protocols.

 

[casken]

This and Lysacek's are the scores I'm most anticipating seeing.

 

[Colonel Green]

You can really notice the difference in older competitions before they shortened the amount of time to start.

 

[Jeschke]

I slacked bigtime.

You were 100% in for stirring up some drama with the calls

 

[Hanna]

Pay attention to J1

I already know

 

[alchemy void]

The footwork works so much better on the replay with The Killers playing in the background.

 

[SmallFairy]

He was just doing random, frantic moves, with no connection to the music at all. Put on any music he skated to previously. It would have been the same. And I saw one counter somewhere in the step seq, but mostly twizzles, two feet skating and lots of hands. Blah.

 

[Jeschke]

Well, FSU was pretty close to original score.
Me = meh!

 

[Jeschke]

But:
Plushy is one of the exclusive 5 scoring lower than original score
Shocker

 

[Colonel Green]

Judges 4 and 9 gave 7s in transitions? Whut?

 

[her grace]

I've seen barely any transitions this whole watch party so Plush fits right in (at least not demonstrably worse). Will pay close attention to the other contenders, but so far, he fits in.
