I'm sorry but the third up-time dex isn't even there, it's the same height as his knee and the first down-time dex isn't even close to his legs. Sorry but no go!!

I'm not sure whether to applaud your ingenuity or call "the" on you, because the 3rd dex of the triage clearly missed completely, but hey 5 out of 6 ain't bad.

I have not made up my mind whether or not "Super Nemesis" is feasible, however, I would like to remind everyone reading this thread about symposium whirr and how many people couldn't fathom performing two symp whirl style dexes off of one symposium jump. Well, Vasek HIT IT! What made it possible? A tweak in technique. That's all it took, well that and some practice.

So before you rule this new trick out, think to yourself, might there be a way to change the triage technique to produce an actual uptime set?

Then ask, while there seems to be nobody yet who is fast enough to pull off a trifly completely downtime, isn't it possible that someone will come along with that really fast dexing speed to do it?

If your answer to both questions is yes, then you have to believe this trick to be possible. And maybe youi will be the one ti invent the new technique for hitting a triaging set. Maybe then, just maybe, someone can give this trick a run for its money.

Even if there is a tweak to an uptime triaging set, there will still be some speculation of whether it was clean to hit it for the full three dexes and if it was uptime. Both of these aspects are clearly hard with some thought on how the human body would work and the limitations it will carry. The mentality for trifly is similar, but a person would still need to gather up considerable air just to get a proper timing for the move to be hit.

The combination of the two moves is impossible with some clear thinking. There is some dispute of whether some barraging sets are even clean for some tricks, especially in reference to people who attempt Nemesis. Arch Nemesis, barraging DDD, is also extremely difficult considering you're doing two double uptime and downtime dexes (essentially, a quad dex) with the same leg. Still, a triaging set is possible in itself, but only if you squeeze a butterfly on either side, and with much more strenuous effort in slipping a double down or barfly in it. Incorporating trifly would be impossible, unless you can triage a set extremely high and have extremely nimble flexibility to keep that dexing leg close to the bag to have it ready during/before the mid-time trifly.

Symp whirr is possible, and I can imagine this to work fairly well. But a Super Nemesis has much further and more complex body movements than a symposium double dex like that.

Just a thought: what would triaging barfly be called? Something better than Johnny Walker and Sunil Jani combined? :roll:

The second part to this isnt true. A 5 dex was hit before this. Also to my knowledge, Ales saw the Sailing ss Flurry, which to me is as good as having video.

I predict that this move will only be hit once footbag becomes mainstream, and gear is made by the top companies.

you forgot your $800 diamond filled gold plated footbag with the "turn off gravity" option.

Ok, so many people now owe me 100$, Henry owes me is soul.

Please don't be fooled, the angle makes it looks like my left hand touches the bag, but it's just because this is super slow motion and I was moving so fast that it looks like my hand touched the bag on the fifth dex.

I'll accept the payment via paypal. Thanks again guys, this is really cool to give me some money for hitting a new kickybag trick.

BTW: I hit this barefoot. (you all know it's harder to hit super nemisis barefoot, I've never seen Nemesis hit barefoot)

SuperDooper Nemisis attempt included in the video.

Sorry for all of those who kept trying this move, guess you've been beaten.

Since I'm the first one to hit this, I decided to call it:

Correct it for me I don't have the time.
I'm busy thinking what to do with 100$ and Henry's soul.

Thanks.

thanks a lot for making fun of it. I really enjoyed this, and I'm asking this thread to be locked.

WHY?

Because modified is this tiny community where there is a single train of throught. If anyone tries to suggest something, you guys must attack, flame, and rip apart said person.

I took it in strides but I guess making fun of me is mature. I hope I was a source of your entertainment. I hope you enjoyed the SUper Nemesis COmic which was a joke, but I feel you guys aren't done yet.

ANything else you want to make fun of me for?
Look a BLOG! That I never update

eric, that is not the single train of "throught" of modified. Modified can be very supportive, and helpful in guiding a player through their growth.

In this instance, you have suggested (and vehemently defended) a pretty ridiculous proposition. if you're going to do that, then you're going to get some flack for it.
BRICK!
