[xxyoakemxx]

wat song



[Warpollo]

whats the yoyo he is using???

[y331256mm]

@Warpollo superstar

[rouzer08]

What do you call to that kind of bonnet he`s wearing where there`s like a squid`s head on the top? It`s cool.

[ink1o1]

@rouzer08 tuque 

[IsThisSumBattleToads]

This is the most well-rehearsed, most prepared freestyle I have ever seen. He absolutely deserved to win.

(watch his regional video and you will immediately see how consistent he is.)

[mryamaho]

he looks like he has an ultra stong throw

[testmodel2]

Simon would say "YES".

[elainekwok2]

what song did he use?

[chesterthen1212]

starry sky remix

[smoke770077]

Technologic by Daft Punk

[VaLiiP]

boor wieee coool :)

[HeatMaster123]

his style is very much based on his music( he's got good taste) thats why he won.

Otherwise hiroyuki suzuki has way better talent in tricks but not in sync with music

[Capemasta]

@HeatMaster123

On the contrary, i think that Hiroyuki Suzuki is one of the most choreographed players. I often see him doing tricks that go perfectly to the words/beat/or rhythm of the music or a particular part of the music. Of course this is due to his ridiculous amount of control and skill.

[coolerthenu458]

And yet, hes better than you. So how bad does that make you?

[testmodel2]

If i show yoyo-vid to someone who don't have interest in yoyo, i'll show this.

this style seem quite cool to public.

[ic33x2x]

as soon as he finished everybody new he was gunna win and they all boo'd when koloski got eigth

[ejchaves75]

maaan team yoyofactory i tell you they are just incredible

[sirshungo]

I notice that YYF Contest team are composed of players who ditch they're current Company then go to YYF.

Shinji(Yomega)

Ando(Yomega)

Yuuki(YYJ)

Sterling (YYJ)

Tyler(Duncan Right?)

and many more. :)

I just notice that.

Also me, I'll do that for the sake of High quality Yo-yo's by YYF!

*4.9/5.0

[MrBigdogs400]

@sirshungo tyler was spyy

[sirshungo]

he has a different style in 1A..

even do it's quite boring..

it's perfect!

5*

[y331256mm]

does any one have the song download link?

[ChokHollah]

2:38 awesome thumb grind!

[coolerthenu458]

That wasnt a thumb grind.

[HatroVille]

I wonder how long it took him to get to that level of talent...

[privatelevi]

the only major thing to get to that type of level is usually the yo yo cause with out a good yo yo u can't learn as fast

[snoopyt7]

You've got the wrong idea, the yoyo is not really that important and he could probably do most of his tricks with a lyn fury. The most important thing is practice. And he's also very lucky, because he's a lot of talent. But still, practice makes perfect.

[Porternear]

Watashi wa L :D

[superchickenbob]

no dude I tink hes usin a grinin machinin yoyo

[geoatom]

Hey dude, you are wrong.

Ando asked one Japanese for coating with white color to his Super Star.

The Japanese artist said about it on his blog.

[Ro0Yo]

he is using a superstar from yoyofactory

[coolerthenu458]

No, its a Superstar

[superchickenbob]

no i think saber raider lolololol

[privatelevi]

wat yoyo does he have going to fast lol

[geoatom]

Super Star. Today, there's John Ando model.

[NikDaAzn]

man he does deserve to win

im not hatin on mikey tho

he got more points because the yoyo hit the string more

and the stlye,he used his whole body for his proformance

[Capemasta]

something about that performance was extremely cool.

more like many somethings.

the tricks weren't quick but they were choreographed well and made for a great performance

[NikDaAzn]

what song?

[simFrikiFrikiFriki]

capsule x beastie boys x YEAH! Remix

and the rest i dont remember XD

[geoatom]

Starry Sky YEAH Remix.

[Fender20002000]

この曲の名前知っている人いますか？

[lemoyan]

men hes the first

[privatelevi]

i all over the comment page lol

[privatelevi]

mickeys great but from wat i am hearing i don't really care but ppl say that mickey is doing the same type of move and stuff there saying mickey get a style

[animaanimaanima]

i aint saying that mickey should get 1st

but look at players like luo yi cheng and others. their routines are SICK.

[privatelevi]

i not tryinng to fight with anybody but this is wat i am been hearing

[animaanimaanima]

just 1 sentence: how the hell did he get 1st??

-he aint smooth like mickey

-he aint fast like most players (augie, shinya)

-his tricks aint that amazing. they are new, agree, but....???

[privatelevi]

ok its only because of routine as you can see that the movements and the yoyo hittin the string matches the string so in other words he only 1 because of the routine which you get all teh points from basically

[sorakujira]

Just shows how much u know about yoyos.lol

[animaanimaanima]

what r u talking about?

[yoyokos]

those tricks are really hard,and speed doesnt win and he is smooth,mickey does the same thing every year

[animaanimaanima]

mickey doesnt do the "same" thing every year. u can say similar, but not "same"

and ur saying that mickey's tricks are easy?

[geoatom]

yes, mickey repeats similar style tricks every years.

But mickey is still a great 1A player.

His tricks are really really ultra hard.

[MaroonmeisteR]

Of course Mickey does similar tricks every year.. cause those tricks are his signature tricks.. and very hard to do..

Although i do think he should mix it up a little.. but every Yoyo player is different and has a different style.. And that's just what makes YYing so much fun

[DarthVaughn]

his tricks are what anyone can learn in 4-6 months of practice, the only thing he adds to them to make them "dynamic" is arm wraps... WHOA IMPRESSIVE.... thats the only reason he won, wrapping your limbs in with tricks are the new "style" for 1a...

[yoyokos]

yeah and it is a new style for 1a,the reason he won was because he got the most points,his tricks don't have to be hard but they are very impressive and original,2 things you don't have.

[coolerthenu458]

Body tricks have actually been around since the early responsive old school days with Paul Escholar, Spencer Berry, and those people. He just brought it back. I understand you not liking Ando's style, but show the man respect.

By the way, when was the last time YOU won a world tile?

Exactly.

[IsThisSumBattleToads]

@coolerthenu458

Couldn't have said it better myself.

[privatelevi]

does any body know why they call him mickey

[EpsilonKias]

Only thing that Suzuki does nowadays is speedy shit. He's got not originality, it's like he's stuck back in 2004.

What he needs to do is re-evaluate his style and come up with a new routine before he really even thinks about getting gold this year.

[simFrikiFrikiFriki]

does anyone know the names song?

[CatCat1996]

Capsule x Daft Punk x Beastie Boys - Starry Sky YEAH! Remix

[funkiliciouus]

ando had so much new material he practically inovated a whole new kind of yo-yoing yo-yo isnt just hand's+string anymore mickey just had the same ol same ol he just did it faster

[hmonkey1]

Agreed, i'm fairly new to yoyoing and i can see why this guy won, although mickey was still impressive.

[jeffreypang911]

Mickey was lucky to get second.

[davidiv123]

oh my got you are an idiot mikey's preformanse was way better

[tranton]

...you sir are dumb. If mickey's preformance was better it is obvious he would have won.

[davidiv123]

ok but if you track his preformances down you know that he mostly does the same tricks which gets boring after time

[tranton]

are you saying tha mickey doesnt do the same thing? cause if you have been watching the performances lately nothing has changed for mickey. hes stuck in a consistant recycling of tricks that are 2nd rate and i do agree with jeff he was lucky to get 2nd

[davidiv123]

Why lucky? ok so andro is new to the stage and interesting, but mikey is more technikal(if thats how you spell it) and he is faster than him, its what i said he gets booring after time

[yoyokos]

ando is not new to the stage at all,and mickey does do the same thing every year,all his triks are are really easy things going really fast,ando actually thought of new things and originality wins

[privatelevi]

ok its only because of the rouitine as you can see that the movements and the yoyo hittin the string matches the string so in other words he only won because of  the routine which you get all the points from basically i hate repeating myself lol

[CarsonSablan]

I agree, nothing new from mickey doing 5 sideways tricks at the end isnt gonnt win over Ando being so inovative and using his whole body for almost EVERY move.

[murry11145]

john ando is like my fav on yomega and shinji saito for looping but im not much of a looper

[csurrel]

HIROYUKI SUZUKI FTW.

Jon is badass but really it's just his whole flow of the set. Mickey is the real muthah fuckin shiznit. Honestly I thought Hiroyuki's set this year was the best I've ever seen.

[CroatianYoyo]

buuu mickey is till the best

[paulcccc]

no way he's better than mickey. he owned this year he should have one

[soju69jinro]

i dont think so, well John used a different style. Im opinionating that creativity in which he used was unique compared to others. and this may have given more impression to the judges. His entire routine, was all about using his arms to do tricks, and style of play no one really played or ever played. Mickey on the other hand, plays with his same routine.

Well i guess after this, i have to say this, i think all new players have more cahnce to win cuz judges have never seen them perform.

[paulcccc]

yeah your probably right i just said that cause mickey was more smooth this guy kept slowing down. but your right he has never been senn b4 and his style is new i just think he wasn't smooth enough

[Brazucaman]

thats amazing!!!!

[hatos75]

it's starry sky yeah! remix

[heyheywong]

thank you

[heyheywong]

I don't know. What is the name of the song?

[hatos75]

did he cut the song?

because the original version is longer than this version

[heyheywong]

What is the song of this movie??

[CHABIEPORTNOY]

if hes good, why mickey has more views

[soju69jinro]

im guessing, high expectations lol, but i think he thought he was gonna win first '08.

i personally think he's not gonna win first nearly, since he doesnt really invent new moves, just improves his old ones.

[Igknighton]

and we should care why?

[Superdobo]

u know wut i think is new with this routine?

the innovative wraps

many new manouvers

this guy came out of the blue

one kinda funny thought...

this guy's entire routine could be done on a responsive yoyo

ive never seen a number 1 routine with no tricks that require a cleaned bearing... or wut ever u do 2 make ur yoyo unresponsive

[Lacerationz]

Ando sort of went out of the realm of the norm, which is why he bit mickey, mickey has been running the same unoriginal routine for the past..what? 2-4 years? Ando comes out of nowhere and pulls out this ridiculous shit that no one has even conceived of, that's the main reason he won. The other part being that mickey just flat out blew it, there were multiple blatant mistakes that sorta solidified him losing. Ando deserved it however i mean if you look at his prelim score he literally maxed out.

[david1yoyo]

yoyofactory superstar

[jazzytrumpet]

hiroyuki suzuki is good but all of his moves look the same.now I NOT saying they are the same as what he did the last few years but I really cant tell and maybe it is because i just a casual yo yo player.I think all he really has to do to get back on top is to make his moves look more diffent because you know a difference isnt a difference in less a difference make a difference in short just try out his new trick to peple who know him and see if they can see the difference.

[GRvip3r19]

are you kidding me? michkey lost because he messed up alot more then ando. and ando had more crowd so i geuss thats why he won.

[ButterscotchGenius]

Crowd response doesn't factor into score.

[GRvip3r19]

realy?i didnt know that. well the great augie should know!

[ButterscotchGenius]

Well,it's not supposed to at least. Usually the judges are to focused to pay much attention to the crowd. =o)

[GRvip3r19]

lol thanks augie!

[Lacerationz]

crowd interaction counts in scoring, categories for scoring are: crowd interaction/choreography, difficulty, and execution. Each trick and example of crowd interaction (it may not look like it a lot of the time but depending on if the crowd goes wild when he does something that looks like a mild interaction they may add points when he wasn't trying to do anything) counts for X amount of points, they then for things like missed landings, loss of control, etc, just thought I'd elaborate

[senioryearleo]

the reason why john ando won was simple.

he knows how to put on a show, and he did it using experimental stuff. Mickey kinda stands there and just does his amazingly fact stuff while ando moves around and shows everybody "i told you i could do this"

[dudeononewheel]

mickey shoulda won, mickey didn't mess up, and john did. mickey shoulda came in first, and john in second, not the other way around

[arkitekyym]

nah..

John Ando is one of the most innovative players ever.

Mickey.. was about 4 years back.

John Ando had some of the most mind boggling tricks I've ever seen. Both of them messed up at times, but he deserved to win.

[magicman884]

Wrong. You dont know shit. Micky fans are starting to get on my nerves. You guyz go back and forth from saying that mickey had better tricks but just messed up more to john messed up more mickey should have won.

[woodchoper33]

There is no doubt that mickey is one of the best in the world, but his style is to over done

he is still doing the same shit he was doing in 2006

he needs to get a diff style

BUT!

no one will ever have mickeys speed

because thats just crazy stuff...

[dvdalmnzr]

Well. Its.... different. I liked it though

[angelingspirit]

spencer dint enter this year?

[xaykogeki]

Love the arm movements...very interesting...

[tehcheezyone]

all i have to say is BEASSSSSSSTT!!!!

[joae1975]

It's almost as if he incorporated Thai Chi into his routine, with the same respect as wide receivers using ballet.

[MK472008]

LOL

[coolerthenu458]

i wish mickey had won, but i have to admit, he didnt mess up, and he worked well with the music, and he had to have gotten points for using all parts of the stage.

[nurhakim12]

the first part was Technologic by Daft Punk.

[Kenzi1Mori]

how about the other music he used?

[jukijunk]

The whole song is a remix called "Capsule x Daft Punk x Beastie Boys - Starry Sky YEAH! Remix"...

[lmwxxx]

which music does 'john ando' use this freestyle vid?

[808fliptrick]

sounds like an edited version of this.

[nosyajlim]

you bring new meaning to 1A

[jukijunk]

John you trully do deserve first place....
