Freestyle Chat / F3 World Tour China

« on: Jun 08, 2014, 02:27: PM »

Hi guys, some old members may know me, a freestyler from China. Actually I haven't practice at all for more than 3 years... so even I feel shame to call myself a "freestyler" 

Didn't saw any topics related to the Beijing F3 world tour here so I decide to make one. It was a totally amazing journey for me, for the other Chinese freestylers, and for the audience. Lots of children, they are excited and crazy about the game. After the game, all people come to the masters for photos and signatures. The audience may not know who they are before, but their hearts were captured by the top performance.

From my perspective as a "used-to-be" freestyler. Today freestyle has reached a extremely high level. I can still remember the scene of Redbull 2008, which Sean had won. But if we put 1 of the 16 players today to that time, he would easily win, no doubt. Today the difficulty, the styles, the creativity, and most important, they had reached a perfect balance. Hardcore lower players won't win, but dancers won't win as well. Only if you combined them together, you will......... have a chance! So many good freestylers, you need a hard competion, maybe some luck. Such a high level today...

I'd like to thank F3 and redbull for organizing this. Never imagined I can talk to these freestyle heroes face to face. Palle, Daniel, Tobias(so nice... like a brothers lived with you), Gunther(Gunther is such a nice guy, usually I thought he was a Italian Mafia ), Esteban, MichRyc, PWG(thank you for remembering my name), Andrew, Lucasao... some guys I didn't have a chance to talk to them but still feel thank you about them... Charly(most amazing performance that day), Tokura, JK, Mikolaj, Olly, Yorok, Martin... sorry I must missed some names.

Finally, for myself maybe it's time to pick up some freestyle now

What do you consider as "no touch"?

a htw-like rev will be considered as "no touch", because your foot get around ball without touching it

the idea is not so bad, but there are more things that need to be considered:

for example rev htw gets the same difficulty as an atw, right? so the difficulty of the first revolution has to be separated, like:
-normal rev (as in atw)
-alternate in rev (as in htw)
-alternate out rev (as in rev htw; first revs of aatw, atatw and ahtatw)

also (at least for me) htatw is much easier than hmatw, because the first and second revolution don't interfere in htatw, but in hmatw you have to complete the first revolution more or less before you can do the second one.

yep...there should be much more detailed variables being involved to get an accurate point.

It doesnt match up!

How did you find the difficulty number from the numbers before it? Dont see the math in it.

the formula is listed at the Instructions area
4. difficulty = no touch + revolutions - touch x 0.5

hows alatw 2 notouches? its htw-atw nt so its one nt, just like you wrote 1 for latw which is atw-atw nt. And there's no way difficulty difference between ahmatw/ahtatw and skatw/eatw is only 1 point  

I got your point, it's my bad, I should definate my terms first. Here I want to definate it as two revs without touching the ball.
 I listed some key aspects related to difficulties, and involved a simplest formula to get the point. Of course the point difference is not 100% accurate, that's why I put my thoughts here to get your opinions, we may find out different weighs, calculation methods, etc. to polish it to an generally acceptable level.

this list doesnt make any sense

it will be nice if there're replies that make sense, rather than a sentence without content.

for tatw/matw, the first atw is considered as one rev, the crossover is considered as another one rev
for beck, first atw, then the timo first step, then atw, then crossover, 4 revs

or maybe I should try another word instead of rev, any suggestions guys?

Hey fsers, this is just my random idea when I had nothing to do. Please refer the chart and the instructions to see how I am thinking about the measurement.

Instructions:
1. For touch, at least 2 touch will be done for each move, even for a simple juggle, INIATE - RECEIVE.
2. For no touch, at least 1 no touch will be done for each move. Because a HTW-like move is included in every moves... well, except ATW and CROSSOVER. That's why the point 3 exsists.
3. ATW, HTW, CROSSOVER are not fit for the formula.
4. difficulty = no touch + revolutions - touch x 0.5

Welcome discuss. Here's one thought in my mind, we may adjust the weigh of touch from 0.5 to another number, depending on some more detailed analysis on the importance of touches.

Freestyle Chat / Re: Which country has the most freestylers?

« on: Jul 14, 2011, 08:12: PM »

first you have to make a definition of freestyler

A pro can do couple of atws, does he count?
A guy used to train fs for months and quit, but he can still do some tricks whenever he want, does he count?
A newbie just started to learn, but he can hardly juggle, does he count?
