This combo was created with aim of using the 8 main powerpasses with different modifiers for each of them.
In WT17 R2, my combo used 8 powerpasses but with very poor integration and no modifiers.
As such, WT19 R2 represents an advance in the way I consider spinning and combo construction, with increased appreciation of density, integration and visual effect.
Outlined below are the links and modifiers for each of the powerpasses:
0:01 - 0:04
1. pinky fxxk - angled pp
- pp done in same plane of rotation as fxxk
2. ia rev ~ fl ma rev 1.0
- around rev 1.0 concept used with pp rev - credits to key3 for around rev 1.0 method
3. ring pushed ss 1.0 - fl pa
- mid ring pp with +0.5 rotation on first push
0:04 - 0:08
4. inv mirrored pp rev pinky-ring 34-23
- inv mirrored pp (no additional modification)
5. inv side flush sonic 14-23 ~ palm down mirrored pp 23-T1
- mirrored pp, but palm down
0:08 - 0:11
6. pd ta ~ pd fl ta ~ thumb inv pp T3-T4
- thumb-pushed inverse powerpass - credits to taeko for t-powerpass concept
7. raimo bak to 24 ~ inv side sonic 24-14 ~ ra rev 14 ~> fl ia rev to T1
- powerpass rev on ring and index (skips middle), initial force from push by 14 slot
8. palm down mirrored pp rev T2-2-3 - pd fl ta catch
- mirrored pp rev, but palm down - applied as fl/power mechanics*
- this trick requires the ring finger to hit the pen during its rotation, which makes it a lot harder than palm down around 1.5
- hard to appreciate in normal speed, so here is a clip in 120 fps x 0.5 (i.e. slowed to 1/8th of normal speed)
But it's barely 10 seconds?!! The combo has basically zero filler or breaks, and is done at consistent tempo. Main personal criticism is the excess hand movement at start, otherwise I am largely satisfied with this being a reasonable draft.
Condensing material with consistent difficulty, removing filler segments and even most filler slots (i.e. attempting to have every transition be a useful hybrid) is far harder to sustain than longer, less dense combos.
This combo is harder than WT19 R1 and harder than my SCT18 R4, which was considerably harder than any of my WT17 videos.
Of course, I still have material and capacity saved for future rounds.
Hoping I will pass, best of luck to other participants!
*I am aware pd mirr pp rev has been done with varying cleanness by at least 3 other spinners. As far as I know, this is the first performance of it done as an fl trick (i.e. not caught immediately in a basic slot), and with acceptable technique and plane of rotation
If you have downloaded the clip with the link provided on youtube, you can play it frame by frame and see that the pen does correctly hit ring finger. You can also use the 120 fps slomo above.
