Machida was superb. Definitely looking to be a top contender this season. Predicting top 3 GPF placement. I also completely disagree with negative comments about his performance, i believe that he's currently the best at performance for male skaters.
I agree with this and I think Machida is the best performer out of all the male skaters. His FS (as well as his SP) is rich in footwork and transitions and I guess this is partly the reason why some people may find it overwhelming. Not the case with me, I think this is another wise way to get good scores, besides adding quads.
I also don't find his interpretation overly dramatic because Symphony no 9 is a monumental piece and it takes talent and courage to own it. IMHO, he could do it and it's also going to get polished as the season progresses. From what I've seen he also got an excellent response from the audience so I could only guess the majority of them liked it.
All in all tastes are different and cannot be discussed.
