2015World 1A Final 06 Gentry Stein

[@sphemps5919]

I stopped playin' Yoyo when college came in to my life and after I finished this video, I somehow remembered that this guy was my favorite player and I used to copy his tricks (but eventually failed). Aggghhh those days were just golden man.

[@yako9453]

Dudeeeeeee , keep goin.

[@Stardust_Lei978]

Gentry Stein: It's good day to win worlds string knot: *famous last words*

[@rickypinto2005]

hes so good that his mistakes even coordinate with the music!!

[@jamoyothebadger906]

+Ricky Pinto Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that xP

[@joshuajames6872]

Ricky Pinto the issue is that we idolize as they pave the way for the way we do. I’ve got 3 negs in the first 33 seconds.

[@randomviewer8857]

True

[@iricksterrr2991]

by far my favorite worlds freestyle of 2015. this was insane

[@yoyocuber2565]

Check out Paul Kerbel's, he did a horizontal GT Insane

[@rickypinto2005]

+YoyoCuber so many people can do that, its not even that insane

[@sans5706]

+YoyoCuber man the chopsticks at 2:07 is crazy

[@vxnolimit]

what was he doing at 0:53? He change yoyo?

[@ongweifern6997]

his string tangeld

[@vxnolimit]

ahhh i see

[@smoker3092]

He got a knot on the string around the bearing.

[@ethancushing3398]

what yoyo did he use is that a shutter or the mystery box

[@sp0nge]

Where is the semi final for Gentry Stein?

[@bigmama1885]

he won worlds in 2014, which was a year before this vid. the winner of the previous world yoyo contest automatically get a final seed

[@sp0nge]

+bigmama1885 oh Thanks

[@CaptainKurk911]

mad respect for how calm he stayed

[@syedfaizan92]

CaptainKurk911 thats what confidence looks like! i would have freaked out to maintain the world champ title

[@insightedu3278]

CaptainKurk911 I agree, even before he made a knot.

[@jonathantheis3195]

Shutter, right? And also, can someone send me a link to the score cards for finalists. I cant find them anywhere. Tag me so that I can see your responce

[@bapple7844]

[@BenM386]

Personally I think this was a great freestyle. Maybe a few bangers instead of the posing but to me, it "felt" like a winning freestyle. I'm not saying he should have beat Zach, but it had that feel about it, it was professional and intense

[@BenM386]

8 years later - I stand by what I said lol, it got the place it should’ve just bc there was a ton of crazy stuff that year but this is one of my favorite gentry freestyles and I maybe like it more than 2014 and definitely more than 2019

[@patrickthegreat8559]

what are the 2 yoyo's he used

[@cornloaf8006]

YoYoFactory Shutter.

[@mateogonzales2009]

Does anyone know the name of the song?

[@anundundian]

Its the Jaws theme song

[@HLIDEAinc]

song?

[@bapple7844]

이학찬 Jawz original mix by donkong

[@luc9818]

how long is his string?

[@andreaskurz3015]

i guess the length of normal kitty

[@iansakay]

what song?

[@rickypinto2005]

+Ian Sakay donkong - jaws

[@g.8269]

music?

[@aarffk]

Donkong - Jaws

[@mauriciocalvoarana8964]

If he hadn't changed yoyo, he would have been 2nd place

[@jamoyothebadger906]

+Mauricio Calvo At least when he messed up, the mistake was in time with the music? :3

[@Peter-cw2qd]

+Jamoyo The badger true xD

[@ryanc2911]

If he didn't change out, he may have gotten 2nd he may have gotten 1st. If he didn't waste that 5 seconds to change he had the chance to score some points.

[@nictheperson6709]

+ryanc29os I doubt 5 seconds can score you the 6 or more points needed to beat Zach no matter who you are.

[@danielang8180]

nictheperson unless you gentry man 😂

[@zhekai7586]

What position?

[@suburiboy]

Teo Zhekai I think 6th but 2-6 were all within a point of eachother, so he'd have gotten 2nd if he brought his backups on stage with him, and maybe even first if he didn't need them.

[@suburiboy]

***** If you give him the 3 points back from the discard, then he is within 5.3 of Zach. That would have also boosted his cleanliness and execution scores. Let's say that puts him within 4.5 of Zach. He also lost about 7 second due to that discard. Those are string hits he didn't get. He probably wouldn't have gotten 4.5 points back, but who knows. Given that it is 7/180 seconds, he probably could have gotten 1-2 points back, reasonably. That leaves 2.5 points. Given the subjective and holistic nature of it all, we have no way to know if the judges would have judged more favorably if they didn't see that knot. Also, he was probably shaken from the knot, and would have made less errors otherwise if it didn't happen. If the knot didn't happen, and everything else was the same, I probably would have gotten 2nd. He might have done even better than that, but there is no way to know since the judges opinions in each section bleed across. That is my take, and we can agree to disagree on this. Note that I'm saying "maybe." Zach won with a killer freestyle. Zach deserves this win! I'm not trying to deny that.

[@johnbrochacho847]

+Jacob Mccann I watched his Finals routine live on Periscope. In the time period when he was switching out his yo-yos, he wouldn't have done anything enough to get 1st place.

[@ConnorSeals]

+Jacob Mccann We can't just assume he can score "4.5 points in 7 seconds" when tech score is very difficult to raise especially if you're not clicking the highest in proportion to zach

[@suburiboy]

+Connor Seals You would know better than I would, but my point was never that Gentry would have won, it's that he could have won. I'm just throwing approximations, heuristics. Possibilities. I admit that it is kinda a moot point since "they could have gotten it if they didn't miss" is kinda tautological. Takeshi might have won with less misses, we can't know.

[@pk_lo4638]

0:51 what happened???

[@ASUThunderGD]

Axel Knot bro

[@nelsonp04]

The yoyo is YYF SHUTTER?

[@iricksterrr2991]

+NelsonPlaysMinecraft yes

[@nelsonp04]

thx for replying bro!

[@sorintv2]

music please

[@pk_lo4638]

Jawz by donkong

[@randomviewer8857]

0:48 I feel bad for him. But I love how he stays calm and continues.

[@jamoyothebadger906]

Favourite part about this performance is how it was so different compared to his 2014 worlds and other performances. Don't see many changing it up :O

[@angeljaimes9703]

Jamoyo The badger i feel different. He reused oh so many tricks

[@shinmatsuo7594]

why did he switch?

[@pk_lo4638]

Shin TheNinja the string got stuck in the bearing so he had to switch

[@yoyocuber2565]

If his exact national performance was here (including replay) and he got like 4th then that would've been huge for the replay

[@nictheperson6709]

He could have gotten 2nd if he had done it without the YoYo change.

[@yoyocuber2565]

+Nicholas K. He still made a lot of other mistakes, if he did it flawlessly then I think he might've gotten first

[@nictheperson6709]

+YoYoCuber I doubt so. On top of the yoyo change he missed two binds. That deducts two points from him. So in total with a flawless routine he would have gotten sonewhere around 85. Even if we factor in the clicks he could get during the time spent changing his yoyo, I doubt he'd win because Zach had a score of about 88.

[@boyboy-rk3nx]

what yoyo??

[@thepuzzlemaster4115]

Shutter

[@deeganw.8977]

0:48 Axel knot!

[@pk_lo4638]

He did the exact same thing as the 2015 national yoyo contest. Even the same song, all that's different is the yoyo

[@ASUThunderGD]

They have to they don't have time to do another song it takes like 7 or 5 months to edit songs and he does really good doing remixes and editing songs.

[@aden8078]

Zach gormley has beat him once again but I was kinda hoping gentry would get neither 2nd or third

[@densaliv3478]

+dead “Vegeta” mouse23 almost close, he can go 2nd not only bc of that restart

[@gus3867]

+dead “Vegeta” mouse23 he would of gotten 2nd if not for the yoyo change, the scores were that close!

[@dedgar6161]

+Angus Beavis Dont forget to count the points he could have got during the change, that could put him in first

[@16adenni]

I think he was just nervous about defending a world title. I never expected him to have it for more than one year anyways, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is motivation for him to do better next year.

[@jaden7323]

You should do a vid on top yoyo fai

[@binsonshih6576]

Yoyo?

[@buddobrey7500]

Shutter

[@Haileyxox]

He is a warrior😊 1:27

[@longtruong9579]

Gentry No.1!

[@dillonkermani5898]

0:39 AMAZING!

[@shasynarrayai.a703]

The Space Jam??

[@justinj4183]

something I realized is he never gave up and kept some of his cool tricks clean even after the mess up the one thing that inspires me from gentry

[@nictheperson6709]

That he stayed calm and kept playing as usual is really impressive considering he knew he'd just lost three points.

[@santiagotequen2367]

Su presentación del 2014 estuvo mucho mejor, incluso fue el campeón.

[@inafaisal3280]

inikan lagu yang dipake ibnu fikri

[@swampylongmouth5038]

i didnt see him play his combo, at all... if he did he might have been in 05 or 04, or higher

[@MykhalGideoni]

laid back but very very entertaining and amusing to watch.

[@DB-xc3ft]

great freestyle.

[@suni351]

for one year he should use back the super g or replay in the world titles

[@yoyodrop2391]

he did beastly in nationals

[@MtnDewPoptart]

He's using yoyofactory Northstar ... woah

[@OptiMandrew]

he's using a shutter xD

[@ConnorSeals]

Lol that's not a northstar. Go watch Jensen Kimmitt 2010 worlds if you want to see a northstar

[@thepuzzlemaster4115]

He's using a shutter

[@Rarrrrrro]

0:06

[@nelsonp04]

If he didn't mess up at 0:49 He would be at 4 or 5 place

[@iricksterrr2991]

NelsonPlaysMinecraft no, he would have been second place

[@dedgar6161]

+iRicksterrr u cannot really say stuff like that because many players switched yoyos this year and a lot of them could have placed much higher

[@iricksterrr2991]

but i am saying, if everyone else stayed the same and he didnt switch, he would have been 2nd

[@tate003]

He would have been 2nd place actually. Look at the scores

[@thriftstoregucci3978]

his mistakes are awesome

[@thepuzzlemaster4115]

Someone give it 200 likes

[@ASUThunderGD]

He should be in 3rd place!!!!!!!!

[@minseobhan322]

Hop God!

[@swampylongmouth5038]

he has been a champion once last year, and his music from last year was my favourite beat music, this one's not that quite good

[@swampylongmouth5038]

but at least he got 06 better than 08 or lower than that

[@re-connecting2770]

His 2014 performance was better.

[@Luckmydude]

Ikr

[@teddy-470]

Cool

[@HansBaier]

The music is obnoxious...

[@trevorlau2932]

2:25 lol fail bind

[@viperace3070]

Gentry got cocky

[@muhammadamsyar1939]

Why the fuck did you say that?

[@Grilledcheezdeluxe]

Muhammad Amsyar what

[@npouk]

[@kristoledo3438]
