Tyler's gotta play either Sewa or Luan... excited to see what that looks like

They will beat him easily

I dont know why tyler bugs me, but he does. Definitely went for the throat as soon as he could do some circus tricks.

forward flip
cab big spin
fakie double
cab flip

I wouldn't call those circus tricks.  when everyone can do pretty much everything you either play to win or play the consistency game with every variation.  both valid!

Jamie Griffin does a lot of impossibles for a man who seemingly can't impossible

I think it’s great suspense building that before batb we saw crazy videos of tricks that Griffin can do and then the game with that Swiss dude I’m blanking on was kind of like expected with the wild tricks, but then in the berrics he’s toned it back a little, I mean kind of, the 540 shuvs and double heels are not maybe your average tricks but comparatively he’s been sticking to basics more. So then in the finals hopefully he will be eventually unleashing the whole trick list.

Man.....I think considering, Jamie has this in the bag. If this was one of the earlier BATB, I would say it would do something for his career but he can be equally or more famous just putting out his own Youtube clips.

I'd agree with you if he can withstand finals night pressure and beat out the consistency of older pros. P-Rod, Sewa and Luan may not have the Forward Flip (and whatever trick combinations) but they could whittle him down with their standard bag of tricks in all 4 stances, especially if they get the opening trick set.

P-Rod is not to be underestimated, even on circus tricks…

His go-to circus trick would be his Nollie Late Flips, can't see him doing a Pressure Flip, Forward Flip or even an Impossible.

Yeah, thats fair. My irrational irritation is just clouding my perception a bit.

Not surprised lil dre lost, but he did have some nice pop and solid style. Definitely seems like he's gotten better over this past year of a shitshow.

^ that's my thinking too, tbh I can see Cole beating P-Rod. If we're talking a straight run of the mill game of skate, no doubt P-Rod has the deeper bag of tricks, however Cole has pulled out some obscure/lesser seen ones this season like the back heel body varial, back 3 heel/back 3 kickflips fairly consistent, 360 underflips, etc - infact I'm pretty sure he got P-Rod on back heel body varial, 360 double flip and something else to take the win in BATB2? I think he'll beat him with those obscure tricks, and then Griffin will do the exact same thing to him with even wilder tricks.

My predictions made yesterday were Griffin to beat Dre, Cole to beat P-Rod and Griffin to beat Cole for the Finals spot. Luan vs Sewa is a hard one to judge as they're both absolute powerhouses, but no doubt in my mind either of those will beat Peterson for a Luan or Sewa vs Griffin final, and at that point who fucking knows what'll happen. Griffin wasn't looking too promising in that Giger game but his last 2 games he's shown a solid level of consistency with his flatground, and as long as he doesn't get stuck in that rut of trying the same trick for multiple sets I think he's got a good chance of taking it. Be interesting to see how it plays out either way.

Luan is always a pleasure to watch.  So much damn pop. 

Looks like Sewa saw the last Griffen match and wanted to go on offense with many of the tricks Griffen got letters on.

Damn would've liked to see Luan win, he put up a good fight against some pretty dirty tricks

Luan has so much damn power. If he didn't land bolts he wold be breaking a Flip toothpick with every trick.

Just looking at the current brackets, PRod only had to beat one guy (Nyjah round 1) to get to the 4th round.

2nd round vs Legion
3rd round vs absent Tucker

Real question, because I can't bother myself to do the research, but am still curious: since the 1st appearance of thgis wacky gimmick, has ANY incarnation of the Legion of Doom EVER advanced a round?

I wanna play you in a game of SKATE for the right to continue talking shit on me.  You think you got me?

i dont think so , but i think thats sort of the idea just to give people at least some sort of "comical" content while the actual pro gets a bye

My hot take away:
Luan rules.
Sewa wears his hat like an ASU frat boy.
Zoom matches of SKATE feel very dystopian.
540 Shuv-its are stupid.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
