FEBRUARY SICK 3 COMPETITION! SEMI-FINALS!

Posi-Cole · Post by **Posi-Cole** » 01 Mar 2005 21:26

EDIT: CHRIS MAY ADDED TO THE POLL!

Thanks for all who submitted videos. Thanks to Tom for getting on people's cases about sending videos

It was an interesting case this month... We had 7 entries, all of either Division 1 or Division 2 quality, and all fairly close in skill. Only one person stated that they wanted to be in Division 1, while a couple specifically said Division 2, and a few didn't give any mention to a division.

So, what is going to happen, is we are going to have one big vote, with all the videos in one. After a few days, I will split the group into two different groups based on votes. "Division 1" and "Division 2". A new poll will be run and the winners of these will be crowned the champions for this competition in their respective divisions.

Hopefully this is a fair decision. It was the best way I coudl think to make sure that everyone who sent in a video could compete, and also, I didn't want to just use my opinion as a basis for moving people around in divisions. Plus, big votes are more fun!

Please watch all the videos and vote for your favorite based on execution, creativity and style.

I voted for Byrin although Tom and Rory come in close seconds!

Props all round for those sick styley threes!

ATTENTION:

I neglected to put Chris May's sick 3 into the competition, because I didn't have a PM or an e-mail to remind me about it... Only a link that had been sent to me much earlier in the week.

At any rate, I'm glad this was caught before this vote got too deep.

So please watch Chris's video as well.

I'm really sorry Chris.

First before looking any other comments or watching the videos I want to tell I'm really sorry that my video is so dark.
You can't really see the bag at normal speed, but I assure that all the dexes are there. You can see some peaks of the bag at the slowmo to be sure that I don't drop it and the dexes are there.
But I know that it should be much brighter and I'm sorry.

<b>NOTE: If anyone voted before I added Chris's video and they would have voted for Chris's video, please PM me and let me know and I'll change the vote totals.</b>

Hey posi, don't say sorry. If anything, it was my fault for not reminding you.

Thanks a bunch for submitting my video.

i voted for rory. thats a cool thing with these muted moves... i've never seen that before! good job rory.

and i also thought it wouldt be a good idea to vote for myselfe.

Posi-Cole · Post by **Posi-Cole** » 02 Mar 2005 11:09

I also voted for Rory.

Muted moves are hard and unique.

Also, to follow up one muted move with another one of a different set is totally sweet.

Also you used both pixies, and threw a duck in there too, so it had good variety. You were also really in control.

All the combos are really cool though.

Perhaps I will offer a greater review a bit later.

I voted for Chris. Every his move was unique and it was 4>4>4. Rory's and Tom's sicks are also very unique but had less adds. I didn't vote for Anssi, because I know he'll win this competition

I voted for Byrin I liked the slighlty break after the blender -- moreover to this time I voted I haven't seen Chris sick 3 nor can't I watch Anssi's one fliudly....

I like the person who voted for me but I doubt it was an expert in judging sick threes ---- but thanks a lot.

habitat · Post by **habitat** » 02 Mar 2005 16:36

I can't decide, everyone is so good, I'll have to think about this one

SlashC · Post by **SlashC** » 02 Mar 2005 20:54

I couldn't resist the blender > vortex link. So sick. I voted for Byrin.

max · Post by **max** » 03 Mar 2005 08:25

yeah blender > vortex did it for me also.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 03 Mar 2005 17:06

I voted for Anssi - I thought his combo was convincingly the best. Byrin's was good but I thought fairy butterfly>blender is too easy a link and his blender looks really frigid - so much so that I would have called the combo fairy butter>frigid blender>drifter.

All the combos are great though - good work everybody. I really like Chris' combo too.

Jeremy, when are you making your triumphant return to the world of sick 3?

sniikeri · Post by **sniikeri** » 04 Mar 2005 09:22

I couldn't see Flavio's and Jochen's videos.

But the rest of them - this is a tough call like mr. Trump would say.

I vote for Anssi, and not just because he's a Finn. The tricks were stylish and hard.
Chris' is also good but I prefer Anssi's combo.

BTW Anssi, who is behind the camera there?

EDIT: It's probably my quicktime that bugs with Flavio's and Jochen's vids...

footjam_heger · Post by **footjam_heger** » 04 Mar 2005 11:04

@ sniikeri: maybe you have to try it on this way:
1. right mouse button
2. path save under...
3. choose a player who plays mgs, avis

I vote for Anssi

I thought you weren't supposed to vote until you have seen the videos, that seems unfair to them
