There was no need to include Evan Lysacek. He's only a skater in the eyes of bribed and/or nationalistic Judges. If you were not to rely ONLY on the NA press and media, the rest of the world doesn't even see Evan in the top 3.
Yes, he did skate a clean and SAFE program. But his technique can't even hold a candle to Takahashi's performance, not to mention Plushenko.
And to be honest, after seeing the woman's FP performance, it was way better than what Evan showcased, considering that Figure Skating is a part of the Olympics, and Olympics are mainly about sport and risking; Evan surely did prove that men are the weaker sex.
God Tier - Mamono
High Tier - Barefoot, Pretty, Pretty, Uncrowned
Mid Tier - Evgeni, Quad, Icy, Yu-Na
Low Tier - Yukari, Galactic
Mamono banned from tournament play
i think the most surprising thing in this article is that there is a japanese uncylopedia.
I'm more surprised at the fact you guys actually watch the Winter Olympics or even keep up with these figure skaters. Hohoho~ ;D
This is obviously light years better than all the Street Fighter parody (wait, they're not?) movies done by Hollywood..
imagine the light saber is your penis. OUCH
What is this
I don't even
Someone please make this come true by releasing it as a doujin game.
Yuna was just art on ice. Like most people, this is not a sport I normally follow, but damn was Yuna perfection.
oh god i want a download for this so bad ;;;
barefoot emanuel? he should just be called "choke machine"
I wish someone would translate the original Uncyclopedia entry into English.
Pluvshenko is the most equilibrated
Is this a real game? If not, someone must make it! This is full of WIN!
is this a joke? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL the game is reatrded!
Plushenko is awesome and I wanted Mao to win but Yuna was better so i guess it's fair but still!
Sorry Quad King Timothy, but post number truncating goes into effect now.
I can't find a place to download this. Does anyone have a link?
>Superman, Krypton Star
THE FUCK?
Lol!!
IS FANNY XD
TOE PICK!
looks awesome XD
Yu-Na beat Mao
Korea beat Japan.
Korea is better than Japan AND China.
Korea has the superior culture.
Suck this.
...You do realize that people like you are the reason that South Korea's reputation is turning into a garbage dump, right?
He's probably a troll. lol. if anything korea has..is better a looking ice skater..damn MAO is oogly.
wont matter when you're all burned to a crisp from radioactive fallout from north korea lol!
Enjoy your plastics and 40 minutes of nothing but crying moments k-drama, sir.
Plushenko is a Kryptonian? It all makes sense now.
SEX BOMB, SEX BOMB
YOU'RE A SEX BOMB
I would really appreciate any translation
Did you try Google Translate? It does a pretty good job.
Apparently the character Mirai is from a billion years in the future where America and Japan have physically merged due to continental drift.
Also, you can only do backflips in EX mode but it does almost twice the damage of a Quadruple Salkow.
What the... (-_-)
....hell's up your arse, amirite?
That YU-NA looks hot on ice. This changes my view on figure skating a lot. teehee
For sexual purposes, right?
Nice timing with the Olympics, Im going to try out this game (If I can find it).
What would Brian Boitano do if he were here today?
I'm sure he'd kick an ass or two! That's what Brian Boitano'd do
When Brian Boitano travelled through time
To the year 3010, he fought the evil robot kings and saved the human race again.
I would love to play this game! is it a mugen spoof or fan made original. I love figure skating. The girls always look so graceful. Asian figures FTW!
whoa whoa whoa! that is so hilarious! and what's with that skull skater?
Too Bad there is no Canadian Female Skater who got Bronze.
It's Ghost Rider!
Or the one with Gold.
Dude, Kim Yu-Na is right there.
no! i am talking about the Canadian Women Figure Skating. not the pair.
Anon may have meant the Canadian girl from the ice dance pair (Tessa Virtue / Scott Moir)
Mamono looks awesome and powerful.
Some name like "Pretty Devil Sarah" is kinda funny.
Does this game actually exists?
What do those blank gray bars say under "galactic score queen"?
NO DATA
barefoot emanuel looks roll tier
