Hey Karne!
Looks like kittychung97 just uploaded a bunch more videos to her YT channel, including all the Pairs SPs.
Not sure if you've seen it yet but this is the link to Paris and Matthew's video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntjhCbhDPiw
EDIT: I've posted so many times here that I'm starting to feel like a stalker in this thread!
Before we start throwing conspiracy theories like "early group" out there to expain a discrepency in scoring... there must first be proof that there IS a discrepency. That requires a proper examination and evaluation of all (!) PCS criteria, for Mako's performance vs all the others. (Which in turn needs some quality video footage, and someone with the appropriate knowledge and experience, plus the time and patience to do it. Tall order...)
Ryuji did well in short! Love the cut of the music, and the step sequence is awesome, love the step sequence arrangement, work really well with the music!
)
It becomes a conspiracy theory when people point at one occasion (or even a handful of occasions), where it may have happened (they almost invariably have no proof, when pressured)... and then try to say that's what's happening at EVERY competition.
She got the lowest GOE for her step sequence and low PCS despite going clean. It's pretty clear that the end of the step sequence before she goes into crossovers for her first jump is a resting point that's super out of place. She will really need to work on that step sequence to get PCS.
She gave me a heart attack on her combo jump. The rink's small size was the reason for her shaky jumps I feel. Surprised she got the highest PCS! Makes me even more excited for JGP!!
