i vote A

King Monkey · Post by **King Monkey** » 21 Jun 2004 22:23

A>C>B, for the same reasons as jeremy... A is hardest and most impressive, B is the most standard of the 3

A: Big Apple > Jani Walker > PS Whirling X-body Rake
C: Blurry Torque > High-Stepping Butterfly > Vortex
B: Blurrier > Blurriest > Bedwetter

wow nice choice of combos Brad, this is a toughie:

B>C>A

because although its obviously hard, i dont like the repition in A.. C and B are pretty close but i think the fact that Nemesis is there and also the link out of Pdx Blender to symp whirling swirl would be pretty harsh..

I'm gonna have to be slightly different and say C>B>A

ptaku · Post by **ptaku** » 25 Jun 2004 05:04

1. C
2. B
3. A

B>A>C

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 25 Jun 2004 05:50

A>C>B

Marius>mobius>marius
A - I have to presume that all the moves are hit well - which is unlikely - most of the time when you see marius hit, both the spin and the osis at the end are slurred and most of the time when you see people spinning out of torque moves the spin is slurred or the torque isn't completed. However if everything was clean this is by far the best looking of the three combos - the other two are basically sick ones, with two extra tricks.

Scorpion's tail>blurry whirl>clownface
C - Scorpion's tail is very impressive and so is clownface - blurry whirl seems a bit out of place between the two moves and were it something harder this would be a contender. Of course it does have the problem that clownface is miles above the other two moves in difficulty but since the clownface is at the end of the combo it would definitly get the crowd excited and have a big "wow" factor.

Nemesis>pdx blender>symp whirling swirl
B - I really hate this combo. It's one big trick and then a complete anti climax. Sick 3s should be 3 hard moves. Symp whirling swirl is an impressive trick, but nowhere near the league of nemesis.

I have to give Congratulations to Jeremy and Chopper. You really pointed out everything I had in mind for all the combos.

I think I would have ranked C higher than A. Actually I almost came up with different combos because I wanted A to be higher in my mind. I just can't get over C though. Scorpians Tail is one of my favorite moves and while Blurry Whirl is a "standard" 5 I think a furious set out of it is extremely difficult. But C...CCCCC. What a glorius combo if hit well!

B was exactly what you said as far as being 1 sick trick and two okay tricks. However, I also think it's more realistic of what you are likely to see in a Sick 3. Even Vasek has a hard time hitting Nemesis in competition (though probably not this year). I figured the Paradox Blender was a good bail out of Nemesis and Symposium Whirling Swirl was a good recouperation to hit out of the Pdx Blender.

Okay...I don't want to hog all the combo making, so I'll do this one and then if someone else wants a shot they can go for it.

A) Mullet > Surging Pdx Whirl > Whirring Swirl
B) Furious same Legover > Fairie Beater > Warp
C) Croxton > Atomic Torque > Void

Combo C:
the hardest of the three IMO, not very stylie, but the difficulty is extraordinary.

Combo B:
the first two tricks are tough (not out of reach tho) and the last is pretty insane. Its tough, but not as tough as C.

Combo A:
I feel like this os the only combo that is actually hittable, and thus, the easiest. Someone like vasek or Felix, if given 50 attempts, might actually be able to hit this combo. They are nice links, and each move is difficult, but there is nothing that makes the transitions between moves extremely difficult.

from hardest to easiest: C,B,A

How about:
A) fusion rake>pixie whirling swirl> symp spanish fly
B) blurrage> frantic mirage> fairy butterfly rev swirl
C) furious dod> blistering legover> phoenix swirl

What's a spanish fly?

Slippur · Post by **Slippur** » 25 Jun 2004 16:21

spanish fly is ducking barfly.

C, B, A

Hmm..
A) Nemesis>double spinning osis>inspinning torque
B) Stepping barroque>69>ducking marius
C) ducking scorpion's tail>whirring swirl>frontside symposium fury

King Monkey · Post by **King Monkey** » 25 Jun 2004 19:37

hahaha this is moving too fast now, i think there needs to be like 6-8 post limit before ppl can post a new combo.. at the moment its like a new combo every second post!

so for the most recent combo, B>C>A

because A is alot like what jeremy said earlier, its Nemesis with an anti-climax... double spinning osis is too easy IMO for this combo
C is very one sided, and although the last two moves are super hard and cool, the first one isnt.. maybe if it was symposium it would score higher
A i think would just look waaay too cool if performed cleanly (ie. the stepping barroque *cough*), the link to 69 out of barroque is pretty harsh
would have to be cleanly done with the ducking marius for reasons jeremy said before

A) Mullet > Surging Pdx Whirl > Whirring Swirl
B) Furious same Legover > Fairie Beater > Warp
C) Croxton > Atomic Torque > Void

C, A, B
C is insane - all hard links and hard moves - also has excellent variety.
A has good variety to some respect and definitly some cool looking moves - the big problem is that it's one sided - but this doesn't detract much.
B Cool Combo. I presume fairy beater is fairy eggbeater. It's a bit onesided as well and all just fast dexing tricks. The only reason I put A above this is because it has more components and maybe more style

A2) fusion rake>pixie whirling swirl> symp spanish fly
B2) blurrage> frantic mirage> fairy butterfly rev swirl
C2) furious dod> blistering legover> phoenix swirl
A,C,B
A is awesome. Fusion rake is very hard to hit cleanly, pixieing out of rake is tough and symp spanish fly gets huge "wow factor" points.
C is also awesome. Very good variety and blistering sets are hardcore!
B is good, but not of the same difficulty of the other two.

A3) Nemesis>double spinning osis>inspinning torque
B3) Stepping barroque>69>ducking marius
C3) ducking scorpion's tail>whirring swirl>frontside symposium fury

B, C, A
B is enourmas. Great variety, hard moves and hardish links.
C is also huge, second link looks very tough but doesn't have the variety or the difficulty of B, also six of the 8 dexes are on the same leg.
A Really only has one big link - nemesis>double spin osis and the diffilcutly is nowhere near the other two. Nemesis is an impressive move - but looks very out of place with the two big spinning moves. This is definitly the most realistic of the three.

A slightly dumbed-down sick 3... more for someone on my level, but nonetheless, I love this thread and I want to revive it:

A: Smear>Pendelum>Spinning Dragonfly
B: Swirl>Pdx Drifter>Blender
C: Symp Mirage>Pixie Clipper>Paradox Mirage

Based more on style I suppose than difficulty, but nevertheless I'd like to know what you guys think.

Jeremy · Post by **Jeremy** » 03 Jul 2004 06:44

b,a,c

B is really cool - three funky moves with moderatly hard links.

A is cool for the pendulum, and the spinning dragonfly out - although I hope this is a full spin, and not setting the pendulum behind you and then turning around.

C is pretty boring/easy
