i think theres a huge difference between beginner and semi-pro.
i would consider pro long combos with multiple nts and atw variations
i would consider beginner short combos with a lot of co's
it seems like almost everyone (I'm saying in general with new people)
cant tell where the skill level really is
people have joined beginner competitions being able to do beck combos and amatw-matw nts/ tatw-atatw nts ect.
Someone should make a topic defining each of the skill levels and when you move on from being a beginner and into intermediate and intermediate into advanced. as stupid as that sounds but some kid tried joining an intermediate comp who was consistant on skatw and could do htlatw
example: once you get out of the habit of doing co's and can do tatw-amatw combos, beck, timo, tatw-htw, tatw-amatw nt, tatw-atatw nt, combos exceeding 15 tricks with limited or no co's, consistant flow in sits/uppers, i would consider you an intermediate level person
