GhostNez31.55.520.7512.75There's a handcam involved at an awkward angle and the video is dark. The material is very 2017 heavy thumb usage and passes meta esque. The tempo is maintained well and the confidence is a little above average but has slight hiccups that betray it like the index bak at 0:06 and the final wiper going into the finisher. Structurally it's a bit of a wash, the combo is very old fashioned and doesn't show and indications of design, it could be well executed freestyle. There are no difficulty highlights and there are repetitive themes that don't add anything original to the combo. The thumb fishing is executed weaker than the rest of the combo, otherwise you would have a little above average points for execution.

Caps001001The rotations are all over the place, the tempo is shattered and you almost drop a bust. The entire combo is executed as though the pen is going to drop at any time, but the material is basic. The setup has low contrast between the mod and the background but I'm actually going to deduct maximum presentation points because your video is missing an entire chunk of frames, which can be observed in slow motion at 0:05 where there are 5-6 missing frames with the pen teleporting 180 degrees in a single frame with no motion blur, it's unacceptable and borderline suspicious. The flush sonics add little and the majority of the combo is a twisted sonic spam freestyle.
9
H1ro223.51.5110Your video is blurry and your hand is low contrast against the background, this makes it tedious to check what fingers are in action during moments of increased speed. Your spinning is a little bit stuttery and your angle makes some of your rotations impossible to judge (the beginning for instance), so I'm just going to assume below-average based on the remaining material in the combo. Your combo seems to be based on a pattern of somewhat uncommon/original trick showcase -> filler, repeat. Structurally that's not much to write home about but it could be worse. Your control gets worse in the second half before your finisher. Props on trying to make a different finisher, but I don't think the execution of it is very good.

PenMan730.50.52014A stalogy combo, very cool. Unfortunately there are no additional points for handicapping yourself with the choice of mod. 480p video with low contrast is not great to watch through. There are weak rotations, you second guess yourself significantly at the TA reverse and the catch before your finishing FL TA which shows up as noticeable pauses and there is the impression that you're struggling to handle the pen that you've chosen to spin. The material is of a low level freestyle and sure I may not often see people execute the holding the pen and putting it into the wrist flap technique, but it doesn't add any real difficulty.
11
Cordy_ps4.5042.5112Your video is vertical, there is a giant visible plank and the camera's crisp focus is on the PLANK and not YOU. There is more plank on screen than you and that's saying a lot since your entire body is in view. With that out of the way the combo is meta power and of decently high level (but not much for originality, as you are about to discover is the drawback to using popular tricks everybody trains) and it's executed fairly cleanly but uses a large spinning area. It looks like something ZG would come up with in early 2022. Alas it being too short and not having any huge highlights is going to hurt your scores. Structurally it's not doing too bad for power but you're definitely transitioning into an easier finisher which implies this may have been a nerfed draft.
12
Ca.6.56.566227Aside from your head going in an out of the frame this setup is pretty good and it's the right angle for the combo, congrats. There are a couple of filler spaces between your linkages at 0:05 and of course at 0:12 with the TF charge rev FL TA rev that really should not be present here. Otherwise, the actual meat of this combo is so extremely overkill for this round: it is actually unique, the structure aside from the aforementioned two filler spaces is extremely good and the linkages are hard as nails. It is one thing to execute a combo like this well, but quite another to submit it in 60fps and then have it still look as well executed as it is. I think that your finisher is a compromise, if you had done some sort of unique flick or even some kind of meta power trick to finish it off in a dynamic way it would have blown everyone's mind, but instead it's just a pinkybak and you caught it awkwardly, an unfortunate ending to an otherwise great combo.
13
levia2.51.532110The spinning is stiff and the camera is too zoomed in which leads to your offcam at 0:06 with 80% of hand and pen off camera. The structure is okay but the material is not very strong and your combo is only 8s long. Your finisher is a little shaky.
14
jay2up0.502.501.754.75Handcam (groan) but the mod is high contrast against the background at least. The seasick wiper at the beginning was pretty nice, but the rest of the combo was not. It seems that you forgot what to finish the combo with at the end, a thumbaround on its own is entirely insufficient for a tournament combo. There are rotation issues and your control degrades in the second half.
15
Selfishi9577.516.51.523.5You should crop your head out of the video or turn your camera to the side when filming to avoid having to put this large marker to cover your face. The marker is crisp but your spinning is out of focus, so it's distracting that the least blurry part of the video is what isn't supposed to be watched. No way to sugar coat this, the execution is bad: sometimes there are periods where you are spinning with a decent cadence, but there are numerous segments where it almost stalls to a halt and this is not always explained by a complicated fingercross mechanic, near the end you're struggling at a regular 12 wiper. There are a lot of knuckle wipers that make up the majority of this combo, and the o cross wiper linkage is very good. Those wiper sections mentioned must be very hard to perform, it's a little like watching saltient-lite. Your combo has a clear theme and it is stuck to quite tightly without much in the way of fillers so big points for structure. I wouldn't have ended the combo with a pinkybak, a bit of a letdown for a high originality combo, finish it off with an original trick.
16
Tofu!00301.754.75This video has all the hallmarks of bad setup without committing hard enough to any individual problem to normally get a deduction in one. I'm going to be picky and say that you can fix your shutter speed, submit a video better than 480p and sort out your camera settings so there's some actual contrast. Otherwise, yeah, it's an intermediate freestyle, not much more to comment.
17
Sharaf0.50201.253.75Did Sun Tzu tell you to put as much junk as possible in the background of your video when filming? Handcam, 480p, cluttered. Intermediate freestyle, you're clearly trying to do different trick families but it's not planned and more importantly it's not good.
18
82Oth3.512.521.7510.75It is annoying to judge one combo in blurry 480p, it is worse to have to judge 2 combos like that. Seriously, you film with a phone don't you? Set it to 720p so that the twice-encoded video artifacts aren't the same size as your fingers. Your right hand is noticeably weaker in linkages than your left hand, to the extent that it's a lower-intermediate freestyle before your spiderspins, but they're not exactly amazing either. Your left hand is a little bit better on the linkages but then struggles at the pinkybaks. Both of the combos are bad, the async/sync is not as dramatic as you must have intended it and to a worse degree you're bringing out the weak points in both your hands' spinning instead of playing to your strengths. It's like watching Allwars trying to do aesthetic spinning, someone should have sprung the reality check on you. I will award difficulty points for the double finishers and a little structure for the async planning but you know and I know that you chose more stable tricks for your finisher on purpose and the async/sync is easier than most people think.
19
Amoebaa3.50.530.51.59Your camera is way too close to your hand, part of your pen is offcam in every frame of the video and it's unpleasant to watch. The material is very 2017 esque and it's not too bad but it's not as good as others who have gone the same route in this round, particularly your execution is not up to the same level considering this material is not as difficult as more modern stuff. You do that sonic to neosonic rev twice, so it's probably a freestyle.
20
Kushagra PS000.5000.5Watching this video is like having JPEGs that don't require a [56K WARNING] beamed into my eyes for the full duration. I don't think you need to put a huge watermark because this video isn't going to survive another upload while still being able to tell the fingers apart from the wrist. It's so dark too, good grief. Anyway, obvious freestyle, twisted sonic spam, bad rotations, some failed rotations (probably from trying to spin too fast), no structure, a full bakfall in your combo (that you nearly drop) and an ext ta to ta finisher. This is going into my "Examples of what not to submit to a tournament" collection.

0.25Twisted sonic spam with two hands. Your left hand isn't executing anything correctly, so I'm going to give you a rare 0 for execution. The setup is awful.
22
shmel00401.755.75Nice flow, but it's a freestyle and you repeat stuff, repeat stuff, repeat stuff. Shaky handcam, I don't like it.
23
Froog320.51.518Yeah, this level of execution is just too below par for the level of material you're doing, very sloppy. You go entirely offcam at 0:05 and partially offcam at 0:15. 0:01 is not a wiper. There's a little thought that's visible in the combo but it's really not your best work: there are fillers, there are significant mistakes on easy tricks, there are serious technique errors, there is grabbing the pen with the entire hand with a pause, it's just a mess.
24
Shadow002013There is no worse background you could spin over than a turkish rug, especially at the resolution and bitrate this video is submitted at. The intricate details of the carpet are turned into a horrifying swirling mush as your pen and fingers warp over it, distorting everything into a borderline unwatchable puddle. Where was I again? Oh right, lower intermediate freestyle, bad rotations, scores will be what you'd expect.
25
PBB6.55.557226Your fingerswitches at 0:08 is clunky and break the pace of a combo that's extremely well executed otherwise. The linkage material is very high, maybe the highest in this round but perhaps not the most original. I dislike the finisher, after your spiderspins you could finish off with something more dynamic, but instead it's just teasing followed by... not a climax. A problem suffered by many in this round it seems. It must have been a chore to execute the linkages.
26
DeseTs53.55.540.518.5The video is more compression artifact than combo and way too dark, I hate it. As for the material it's OK! The execution is OK too. Structurally I didn't like the reverse section but it was short and 0:09 makes up for it. Take the points and fix your camera please.
27
Taddle10.52.5127Starting here I'm just going to start putting "FS" as the comment for combos that are lower-intermediate freestyle or below for this round and change the comments later if I have time. If not, oh well. Also, this is one such freestyle.But why only comment FS?
Because there are a lot of combos that aren't making proper attempts at the criteria and are getting less than 3 points across the difficulty, structure and originality categories. The comments are very samey and it takes time to write them that is better spent on combos that aren't auto-elimination material.

AnthoCyan5.5245.5219The execution is stuttery but your structure is actually very good. Originality wise it's a bit of an upper-spindys-level bread and butter combo but it's solid. The difficulty and structure are at the expected levels so I'll mark it as such.

Sullyoon14.56.57.57227.5Lots of original material and I like the theme of doing unexpected stops and direction changes with the wipers, I don't think I've seen anyone do this theme better than this combo. The material is high level and very well structured: there are even gaps between your highlights that build up the proper suspense and your finisher is absolutely the correct choice. Execution is very strong with a slightly haphazard section at 0:17 followed by a sharp recovery. This combo is also much longer than most of the others in this round, which is impressive considering the whole thing is planned out.
42
MAksesOwicz3.50.561.5213.5Your linked 2p2h execution is great except for the pinkybak at the end which lacks confidence and fails to close out the prior sequences in a satisfying manner. It's a little hard, but these are the easier variations of these tricks as you probably know. Very unoriginal, basically the whole thing is lifted verbatim from your MP combos, and the structure is actually quite poor as you are not making any real linkages that complement these techniques.

klb3130.50.58Blurry video, low contrast against the background and you go fully offcam twice. Your opening segment is essentially grabbing and throwing the pen (yes, I mean the single fxxks, the non-wiper 'cardioid' release and so on) until 0:03 when you transition into power tricks. Aside from 0:06 which is surprisingly easier than it looks the material is really quite uninspired and low level compared to the other power spinners in the round. Structurally it's confusing and doesn't stick to a direction. Copying the mod and setup of that guy is missing the entire point of what he was good at (I'll give you a hint, it wasn't the aesthetics of his videos).
45
zefia42.583.5220Taking it easy for this round? Not that I can blame you. I did see 0:03's stutter that you shouldn't be struggling with, but the rest of your execution is very good. Your material is weaker than normal and a little uninspired for this round, and I don't like the lack of direction that this combo has, it's kind of a cleanly made showcase of the popular sequences of the past couple of years. Big points for execution, do something cool next round when you actually need to try.
46
-human2.503.5017The video quality is very poor and the camera is shaking a lot. Very short, no unique elements. The power tricks have some difficulty but they are also very common. Nothing particularly notable about the structure.
47
Brainer :32.50.53107Lots and lots of offcams, shaky handcam, I'm just going to give you a 0 for presentation. I cannot score you for things that aren't visible on camera. What is visible on camera is sort of a mashup of old counters and a couple low level seasicks that are not executed very well. Maybe the theme is counters, but the structure for that theme isn't really there.

50
sir bummington3.503.51.51.259.75Video is a bit blurry, why is this a 480p video? You go offcam briefly at the end. The power tricks are OK but your structure is lacking continuity, there's a clear gap between the tricks you actually want to use for your combo and the filler stuff that you're putting in between your opening sequence and your finishing sequence that is meant to fill in the time. The control needs a bit of improvement and you aren't doing anything original.
51
Mumm3y33.522.51.512.5Low quality video, low contrast, repeated partial offcams. A lot of this combo is executed with weird rotations or stuttering on catches that the complexity of the tricks you are doing does not justify. Finisher isn't defined properly.

vertexx203027The power tricks are weak and repeated too often. Fist bust fishing is low control.

BigZero312.501.58Why is your hand moving around so much for sonic linkages? Material is ok but execution is baffling. Partial offcams.
56
3Darkghost2210.5104.5It seems like the linkages are maybe okay but I can't see shit, presentation is horrific. What is visible is executed extremely poorly.
57
etro_ps31.552213.5Hello tilt jr, the visual effect seems okay but honestly this is a little easy. Also, it's a little uninspired, the bane of clones worldwide. Execution is at the expected level but not incredible.
58
Uaehlyeckz2.51.52219Incorrect shutter speed, in fact the worst shutter speed I've seen in a long time, it makes judging your execution above absolute rock bottom levels impossible. Your material is not too bad but your structure and originality is going to be harmed by using a lot of visually similar sequences (you need to retire the 14 slot side sonic material immediately, you overuse it and it's not that good). Execution has issues where it can be seen properly...
59
GamerWinky09101030.504.5Repeated full offcams, horrible filming setup, keeps going out of focus. What is visible is decently executed but not very hard or original, with plenty of filler structure inbetween. Or well, it's executed when you have the bare minimum control to keep your hand in the frame, which is only about 50% of the combo
60
raiz0.5130.527It's executed a little slow and stuttery which hurts your execution's confidence levels. The material is rather weak. The dynamic finisher is on the right track but the rest of the combo does not meet the same degree of planning or refinement as it.
61
Tes112026This combo goes on for a while and shows a lot, but it's not structured properly and the execution really leaves a lot to be desired. The material is quite easy too.
62
The Wok1.502.50.51.56Wrong shutter speed. The combo is stuttery, the cardioid has improper techniques and there's a lot of easy sonic/twisted sonic.

66
Zayan🌙2.50.532.5210.5Your execution is not as confident as it could be and your wiper at 0:07 is executed a little weakly. Cthulu sonic is done with hand rotation to palm down which is incorrect technique, your PISS around is not cleanly done. Generally this combo is made up of popular spindys tricks but that doesn't leave a lot for originality.
67
Скерц0.500022.5Your left hand cannot spin at all, so that's a 0 in execution. Right hand material is a little ok but it lasted less than 5 seconds so oh dear.

69
billypotato213.51.51.59.5Video has lots of artifacts, low quality. The linkages are not spectacular but okay, inoffensive even. Finisher is the same way. I don't think there's much for originality though with that approach.
70
Joseph0.502024.5This combo is too short, it's only 6 seconds. The palmspin catch is very sloppy. The armbounce pop spin would have been good at the end of a combo, but it actually takes up 50% of your spinning time.
