In my opinion, the current judging criteria doesn't fit for what will make the sport/hobby expand in terms of throwers. Honestly, this isn't the olympics, and there's more of a factor of having fun. Most of us want to see the person with the most appealing routine win the competition, but for now, the judging criteria is just based on a sheet of paper that a person made up. By saying saying this event is like the olympics, you are basically saying that mickey is the peak of technical abilities..
cont. and that he wins because his tricks from 2004 are the best, and still hold that way. The basic logic I'm trying to convey is that we should probably change the criteria of judging so that we don't end up like the olympics. It's really not that fun to watch people do the same exact thing every year and try to "not mess up" at the olympics. I mostly watch for the results rather than the routines themselves. The basic point is not just to you, but to all yoyoers alike.
Marcus and Mickey were both amazing and did close to perfect performances. Both have their signature tricks and also the creativity to do lots of new stuff every year. If you watch Marcus's performances from last few years it's not like he does totally new tricks every time. Nobody does. - It's not repetition, it's called having your own style.
SO SICK OF THE SHIT WORLD CHAMPIONS ARE GETTING. Its the fact that all players have become so damn good in their own way it splits decisions. Last year Marcus received a lot of shit as well. Cmonn they played the game and won, every player was judged the same, so the fact that he came out on top is no coincidence. He deserved it.
For those who are wondering about the music, it is an original track produced by DJ Taku [m-flo] for Mickey to use at Worlds. YoYoDrumstep, as Mickey called it.
Hiroyuki is just simply mind blowing! by far my favorite yoyoer. cant believe how fast he goes. I have a few vids of me doing his speed combo. in one of the i messed up and hit myself in left eye REALLY hard.
kind of a different style with all those complicated string tricks, but he also included the classic mickey style of high flying unexplainable tricks that we all love, just brilliant.
It's funny that no matter how many new tricks Mickey may put into his routine, people HAVE to complain about the old ones. Most top-notch yo-yo players have a few tricks that they use every year, so what if Mickey has a few more? It's not like he's going to trade his highest scoring tricks for new ones. I think everyone should compare this freestyle to his 2011 World's and then to his 2005 or 2006 World's and SEE how different they each are.
did you watch ANY of this freestyle? he DESTROYED the competition! he rightfully won this year. I was there to watch this first hand and honestly...he deserved this, he did a fucking 3d horizontal eli hop at 1:44. Pretty sure no one else can do that yet...the level of performance and skill this took gave him what I call a flawless victory.
That's true. I mainly meant that he uses same tricks when I'd rather see a whole new bunch of tricks. I know he has a few new ones, that's obvious. The best thing is he goes to the music.
You realize this contest isn't about using a bunch of different tricks? His routine was so clean and his use of music was amazing. The judges aren't some people they picked up off of the street. He's not going for new tricks, he's going for the champion title -- which he got.
Oh and not to sound like I'm bad shit (because I'd never win one of these competitions) but the horizontal eli hop he did at 1:44, I can do that. Actually a lot of people can do that. It's just a risky trick to do in competitions. He nailed it.
I think what did the trick for him this year was the horizontal play. The vertical play seemed similar, yes. But it looks like he changed his horizontal style a little, and took a lot of risk. I also know that's one part of the judging criteria. Risks. And he nailed a lot of risks
Not same tricks actually. He uses many concepts that have proven successful in the past. But if you closely analyze the tricks from this freestyle and past contest, you will see quite a bit of fresh new material from this recent time of year. This freestyle was quite impressive and I am very happy to see Mickey back on the top once again. :)
Watch even as recent as his Japan Nats freestyle. There are new even a few new tricks between then and this, still some of the same ones cause nats was so recent, but still. he doesn't use the same exact tricks every year. But he doesn't use all the same tricks every single year. It's his style, fast, techy, going with the music like a boss. Style.
Oi Yoyofactory we all know he got first and i know it says champion up the top but could you put a 1st there, I Want to see somthing other than a 2nd on his World freestyles
Congratulations! You finally made it! You became the first commenter!! That must take lots of effort and skill I'm sure your parents are proud of you :]
Please Don't insult the Greatest Yoyo Player of All Time.. Mickey's deserving to be the Champ..:) Year 2011 is the Freaking Year for Him.. Being in 4th..
he can walk the dog its just a fucking simple trick but cant do this trick on stage because he used a metal yoyo and if he do it it will be scratch , and this type of yoyo is unresponsive and for professional only, all yoyoer when they started play yoyo , first trick they learning is WALK THE DOG and its not Difficult at all , yoyoing is not just 100 or 200 tricks as almost of people thinking , its unlimited tricks , and its Freestyle , its like dancing , football freestyle , yoyoing is Art , not just a Toy !
What if I asked if your car needed training wheel, or if I asked if you know how to wire a connection when you are a full fledged computer programmer? You'd feel pretty bummed wouldn't you?
This dude is the sideways KING! WTH! This dudes yoyo skills defy gravity! I bet he even catches bullets with his teeth! He can build an Xbox 1440 out of a stick of chewing.
I started using gloves recently I realized the drawback of not being able to handstart the yoyo cause it just slips in the hand. I wonder how he does it?
why do people keep saying "SO AND SO WOULD HAVE WON".....well we don't really know that....we have no clue if paul would have messed up at one point and have bad luck on his side the rest of the way. i was hoping mickey would win, but i cant tell the future, so i just say "I hope so and so wins"......the point is, he couldnt make it passed semis and no one could ever have known who was going to win, end of the freakin story....
Oh no don't get me wrong he did fantastic I'm not saying he sucked! I was saying I wish he had all new tricks instead of a few old ones he always uses.
I guess your right, you don't need to waste your breathe on me. I should have known better that your yo-yoing is the best there is. I am sorry if I offended you or any of your friends, I'm just a child, relax. At least you think I am a child, because i don't know how to judge a yoyo contest. And for the record, I do agree Marcus should have won.

i think he's trying to say it's awkward because he only won once he left yoyojam making them look bad
Yes! He really deserved it!
He's been my inspiration ever since I started yoyoing. I'm really glad he won.
However the hell I got here, this is sweet. I remember going CRAZY when I could get a YoYo. It's a lost art.
cont. and that he wins because his tricks from 2004 are the best, and still hold that way.

The greatest of all time

He's deserving to be the Champ again.. :D
He's 4 Times World Champion now.. :)
We're always here to support him...:D

Love how the music reflects the Japanese heritage. :)
Was really pulling for Gentry this year, but Hiroyuki is amazing. Gentry 2013
kind of a different style with all those complicated string tricks, but he also included the classic mickey style of high flying unexplainable tricks that we all love, just brilliant.
this is probably the only guy who has ever made dubstep look better than it sounds with a yo yo
He so ballin his own name even rhymes, IT RHYMES DAMMIT!
Greatest 1a competitor of all time.
sadly that ended the hiroyuki Suzuki era rest in peace 2004 to 2011

mickey's the best in the world and my favorite yoyoer hands down!!!! wouldnt be yoyoing today if it wasent for him and john narum!
there! we agree on something! he is one of the best at timing his freestyles to his music.
That one scream at 1:16... lol
Dude got hyped
That's 100 percent part of the song lol
You realize this contest isn't about using a bunch of different tricks? His routine was so clean and his use of music was amazing. The judges aren't some people they picked up off of the street. He's not going for new tricks, he's going for the champion title -- which he got.

Everyone:*says nothing*
Hirouyuki zuki:
and i was happy when my yoyo came back up...
Good player+ $300 yoyo + sunglasses= winning every championship
I think what did the trick for him this year was the horizontal play. The vertical play seemed similar, yes. But it looks like he changed his horizontal style a little, and took a lot of risk. I also know that's one part of the judging criteria. Risks. And he nailed a lot of risks
junge junge da kommt freute auf
wie Hammer geil er das macht LG Ray aus Germany
Consistency + Blinding fast play + Cool Shades = Winner! :D
That beatsync is incredible.
Not same tricks actually. He uses many concepts that have proven successful in the past.

This freestyle was quite impressive and I am very happy to see Mickey back on the top once again. :)
Yea that's true. And honestly I take that back. His speed is impressive.
Yeah, I think he was focusing on smoothness this time round. His tricks were slick and smooth. I guess people were bored of his speed.
And it's amazing HS found appropriate Japanese chill style dubstep hahah
世界チャンピオンおめでとうございます。これからもがんばってください。
Watch even as recent as his Japan Nats freestyle. There are new even a few new tricks between then and this, still some of the same ones cause nats was so recent, but still. he doesn't use the same exact tricks every year. But he doesn't use all the same tricks every single year. It's his style, fast, techy, going with the music like a boss. Style.
just came here to nostalgia
Oi Yoyofactory we all know he got first and i know it says champion up the top but could you put a 1st there, I Want to see somthing other than a 2nd on his World freestyles
Such a cool ending
Most attractive.
i luv how he messed up and he did the quick wind at 0:50
i just feel so goo when i see somebody doing the quick wind
The announcer sounded like he was going to cry HIROYUKI SUZUUKI!
Did you see how clean his first whip was?
now thats an ultimate flex if i've ever seen one
by the time i watched this 50 times i lost my magic t5 overlord yoyo
Congratulations! You finally made it! You became the first commenter!! That must take lots of effort and skill
I'm sure your parents are proud of you :]
Good job Mickey!
its a specially made remix by taku takahashi named yoyo drumstep you wont find it anywhere
thank you
Holy dang , he's killing the beat !
Clint is on the yoyofactory contest team.
man,dont judge mickey with yoyojam,he still in great relationship with yoyojam..
you should judge who dislike this video
I prefer the combination of the song from AP and JN, but this one is really cool.
Congrats Mickey o/
Best freestyle ever!
He left YYJ around February to run his own store and yoyo brand. :]
0:50 THAT SPEED
That was so freaking awesome Mickey!:OO
Heroes come back...
鈴木裕之さん！優勝おめでとうございます！ それにしてもすごいなー
Lord of the Strings: Return on the King
He probaly has some kinda Future technology in the Asian GLASSES!
Ha!! That was funny as hell last comment, but that was an awesome performance though, couldn't do that if my life depended on it
Love ur yoyo
i guess the reason Mickey won is because is performance goes well with the music
m-flo DJ Taku Takahashi "YoYo Drumstep" this song is especially for mickey not for sale and cant find on youtube or any site :(
'' Ladies and Gentlemen .. HIROYUKI SUZUKI !!!!!
actually, i kinda agree
Please Don't insult the Greatest Yoyo Player of All Time..
Mickey's deserving to be the Champ..:)
Year 2011 is the Freaking Year for Him.. Being in 4th..
the curse... broken?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is how Hiroyuki gets al the ladies.
this is off topic, but why is yoyofactory in the description?
isn't he on yoyojam?
Hmm 6 years but I'm pretty sure he has the most 1A WYYC 1st places.
I think he has I'd have to look it up. It's actually surprising with the number of 1st place titles he has that he isn't a Master.
return of mickey
fucking awesome
But can he WALK THE DOG?!
he can walk the dog its just a fucking simple trick but cant do this trick on stage because he used a metal yoyo and if he do it it will be scratch , and this type of yoyo is unresponsive and for professional only, all yoyoer when they started play yoyo , first trick they learning is WALK THE DOG and its not Difficult at all , yoyoing is not just 100 or 200 tricks as almost of people thinking , its unlimited tricks , and its Freestyle , its like dancing , football freestyle , yoyoing is Art , not just a Toy !
I was joking lol...I yoyo myself actually..
Wow.... Some people are really sensitive to sarcastic jokes
What if I asked if your car needed training wheel, or if I asked if you know how to wire a connection when you are a full fledged computer programmer? You'd feel pretty bummed wouldn't you?
Ian Young a car needs a training wheel WTF?????????????????????
This dude is the sideways KING! WTH! This dudes yoyo skills defy gravity! I bet he even catches bullets with his teeth! He can build an Xbox 1440 out of a stick of chewing.
I started using gloves recently I realized the drawback of not being able to handstart the yoyo cause it just slips in the hand. I wonder how he does it?
lol look the 2004 freestyle and you can see that he is using just about 10% the tricks that he used and those tricks are his signature moves
i tried this on my own and my neighbor died... thank you Hiroyuki Suzuki
A very energetic performance
I think it is a gold phenom, since the gold one is the heaviest, and that the phenom is his signature yoyo. They are about $150
It's ANGLAM.
there's an expression... "play, or get played." Well, Mickey knows how to play.
a world champion who didnt fall under 3rd place category in worlds...
Speed Gloves, you can buy them at YoYoAddict
Yes, he won 1A in this years worlds.
What else would I have said?
he is awsome
why do people keep saying "SO AND SO WOULD HAVE WON".....well we don't really know that....we have no clue if paul would have messed up at one point and have bad luck on his side the rest of the way. i was hoping mickey would win, but i cant tell the future, so i just say "I hope so and so wins"......the point is, he couldnt make it passed semis and no one could ever have known who was going to win, end of the freakin story....
Do you know how many times he's done that same damn trick?
i forgot he was this fast.
Why? Mickey show is so more smoother to look at, than Paul. And he also yoyoing in line with the music.
Alx Kotori can do it blindfold for a whole 60 Seconds
Oh no don't get me wrong he did fantastic I'm not saying he sucked! I was saying I wish he had all new tricks instead of a few old ones he always uses.
Do you know how many times he's won WYYC?
YUKI IS MY STAR :D
I REALLY want to know what the trick is at 00:15 seconds. it looks so cool does anyone know what it is called?
I guess your right, you don't need to waste your breathe on me. I should have known better that your yo-yoing is the best there is. I am sorry if I offended you or any of your friends, I'm just a child, relax. At least you think I am a child, because i don't know how to judge a yoyo contest. And for the record, I do agree Marcus should have won.
