Only Champion Ever To Change Yoyo Twice, have to thumb start and still win

[@frankcoguidaben7554]

only because deduction and more were not exist at that time

[@CHABIEPORTNOY]

Is there anymore players? Who changed atleast once?

[@frankcoguidaben7554]

@@CHABIEPORTNOY sometimes when your string got stuck on the bearing you gotta change so thats deduction some player are carefull to not get it knot or stuck on the bearing now a days that deduction are exist now..

[@bassesatta9235]

PRO DUDE YOYO PH they did exist. just not as heavily penalised

[@DvNZBRCL]

I'm guessin' that stop, discard and detatch used to equal -1 before this freestyle, cuz nowdays stop is -1, discard is -3 and detatch is -5

The amount of risk in this freestyle is incredible.

[@tristanblackford7903]

You mean you wouldnt put 5 suicides in your first throw and then put a horizontal behind the back combo in the second?

[@somekindofmixt5307]

Winning with 2 switches and a restart... Thanos: impossible

[@thebrandonvu]

KILLED EVERY BODY IN WORLDS

[@MrLOSTOFOUND]

He took so much risks . He deserved the title .

[@BenM386]

12 years later I still think this is the most intense worlds freestyle of all time. He makes it look as difficult as it is (in a good way)

[@linkedyoyos]

everybody knows he won because of this 1: He has awesome hair 2: He is extremely fast 3: HE IS MARCUS KOH!!!

[@frankcoguidaben7554]

Its been a decade now but still a legendary freestyle

[@zeevyehuda2501]

2 switches, 1 restart still gets 1st

[@SolaticSyot]

I don't think he would've been deducted that many points especially based on the nature of the switches. I tried to find the score sheet but couldn't, so it's hard to say. Although it still speaks to how well he did that he got 1st even with the issues he had during his performance. On the other hand, this wouldn't have sold me on a getting a Positron. Lol

[@zeevyehuda2501]

Solatic Syot Ikr? My go to is a baped proton-positron

[@SolaticSyot]

Ze'ev Yehuda What's a baped proton-positron? I tried to Google it but got nothing back on it other then just a shop page on the positron.

[@zeevyehuda2501]

Solatic Syot Baping is when you take two halves of different yoyos and use them together. The original Bapezilla was just two different solid colors, but Baping now refers to combining any two halves.

[@produde2524]

True.

[@ElendilAndurilz]

This was an awesome freestyle. I loving seeing a player going SO BIG and winning. It's a good sign for the sports progression.

@Justin4RonPaul what does swag mean

[@thebrandonvu]

@Justin4RonPaul ohhh thx

[@Floydandsome]

Worse champion ever no style just keep eli hop for 3minute and some ugly horizontal tricks i dont think he is deserved of the champ

[@thebrandonvu]

@Yoyoloki888 i Agree

[@LSDcrackers226]

he doesnt have swag. swag has marcus koh

[@edn6671]

This has got to be my all time favourite freestyle. Period.

[@titanium221]

Marcus is a genuinely nice guy and a fellow dubstep junkie with a huge amount of talent. he deserved this 100%. Congratulations Marcus.

[@BobBX542]

If my eyes could keep up with what the hell he was doing, I might talk some trash, but this dude moves so fast. Well done.

[@Derrenyo14]

He has that speed like Hiroyuki Suzuki, arm tricks like Ando, and he has tricks unlike any other, truly a sight to behold

[@ConnerYoYo]

Gentry is awesome. Jensen is awesome. Sebastian is awesome. They all had great freestyles this year, but I'm not to unhappy that none of them won. I mean, the best part of all these freestyles is just how freakin cool they are. WINNING isn't really what it's all about for me. But, actually, I do think it's cool that someone can leap out of nowhere and win at Worlds. Congrats Marcus, and congrats to all those other awesome players for throwing down some awesome freestyles this year =)

[@DrSpideybug]

I bet the creator of the first yo-yo never imagined kids would be doing such awesome things with this "toy"! :D

[@tristanblackford7903]

Some of the fastest combos ever seen on stage

[@druminpython]

Although Marcus did AMAZING, Is still think I liked Sebby's FS more. This is definitely worth more points though. congrats Marcus.

[@levim2]

marcus played to the rules of the game and won. this is a competition. he's a really dedicated guy with a good story, so i'm really happy for him. he still has room to evolve though; i see where he's going with his tricks.

[@pato201thth]

2019, who still watching this like me ! Awesome

[@ChaosCompatibility]

The point difference between sebby's and marcus' was really close. Sebby's may have been solid, but marcus was dishing out so many points in so little time, which is incredible.

[@soulzzplaysgames]

Quoting Marcus himself: "Who switches out Yoyos twice and still wins, man?"

[@gunbreaker135]

BALUT BOY WON ! Im so happy for Marcus :D

[@Floydandsome]

@Luffirefly To be frankly The judging system fucked up 1a division is no more freestyle now just those hit combo espeically the singapore just the hop trick and horizontal tricks in my opinion Jensen freestyle is a real freestyle

[@Floydandsome]

@purpleownz176 To be frankly The judging system fucked up 1a division is no more freestyle now just those hit combo espeically the singapore just the hop trick and horizontal tricks in my opinion Jensen freestyle is a real freestyle

[@amirhamza122]

when i watched this on ustream I was thinking either Gentry or Marcus would come in 1st..good performance

[@Luffirefly]

@CatCat1996 well if you don't like his tricks you can just stfu instead of blabbering nonsense here. Stop trying to make people think the way you think, different people have different perspectives. Get that in your head. You've been commenting non-stop on this video ever since it was posted. Marcus won fair and square, he innovated the crazy behind-the-back tricks, that's why he got such a high score. Jensen wasn't there to win either, it's rather obvious from his freestyle.

[@coolerthenu458]

@CatCat1996 Eli hops get very few points, and they're terrible to do since it's a trick to do in repetition. The reason they get so many points off of them is because they do them in such difficult and different ways that it comes off as original and new - which it is. None of the past three winners have the same style, and the only two that are even relatively the same are Shinya and Marcus. Shinya won because of an impressive array of horizontal tricks, once again, extremely difficult to do.

[@MrWonderninja]

@Yoyopro3 hey i don't care what you think, you're entitled to your opinion, but your not entitled to insult other people because your butthurt that people like Jensen. Jensen is the best competitive yoyoer in the world and could've taken first but thats not what he was trying to do. So before you go bashing Jensen and other people learn to respect other peoples opinions

[@Igknighton]

I remember last year when some people were mad that jensen won, everybody said that he was a point whore and that yuuki should've won. Now everybody is saying the same thing about marcus now. Just because the your favorite player didn't win doesn't mean the judging system is screwed.

[@MrWonderninja]

@15sarahcg I did not say its wasn't amazing, I don't deny that he's a great player and that he did well, but it is MY OPINION (which I'm entitled to) that he should not have won. And Jensen Kimmitt is the biggest influence in my style and had the best act by far.

[@coolerthenu458]

@Nasharah97 wow 15? I didn't think it would be that much. I thought restarts and dead yoyos only took like 2-3 points off? Then again, I suppose you could argue that in the time it took him to restart, he could've been doing other tricks.

[@TechnicallyBrian]

Worlds would've been different if we sent Christopher and Darrel as well, Singapore would've clean sweeped 1A top 3. I like Marcus's style and hate Gentry's, well then again, like you and me, haters gonna hate. Nuff said.

[@Luffirefly]

@CatCat1996 it was you who started this argument. We didnt argue with you for nonsensical reasons. Even if you insist on arguing with us, you will still lose in the end. It's a battle of 1 versus many.

[@coolerthenu458]

@CatCat1996 They all know how the judging system works, and they are are all capable of changing their tricks to fit it. You're not a judge, so chances are you don't know what you're talking about.

[@tnchau1410]

the majority of his point in this contest was his behind the back tricks, guys. Nobody ever did anything like that. Can't you just bend like him and do horizontal tricks that smooth?

[@MrWonderninja]

his singapore nationals was better than this and Darrell Mitchell was less than a point away from beating him in nationals. I do not think he should have won worlds.

[@Floydandsome]

@Yoyopro3 Silent = boring? and if you watch Jensen freestyle clearly he is following the music and thats the real freestyle

[@WilsonVanGundy]

@KevHedgehog It's Skrillex Kill Everybody (Bare Noize) and a sped up version of Skrillex Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites. He mixed them together into one song.

[@noodlessss]

Seeing him perform live last year was amazing. Him teaching me the basics was great too xDD

[@Floydandsome]

@Nasharah97 I still cant get it why people like marcus trick although i dont like jensen trick i really do enjoy it

[@coolerthenu458]

@CatCat1996 I doubt you've been yoyoing that long. From 07 the system has only changed to better suit those who don't play as fast.

[@Floydandsome]

@aimanrush1 saw before same one speed and beind the back = world champ? if you say so many people can be

[@coolerthenu458]

@MattitudeXSensei Points game? You can argue Sebby did the exact same thing, seeing as how they were less than a point apart.

[@DomoYoz]

The haters dont even know how to judge. They are judged upon points. Not how clean the freestyle was. Marcus might have changed his yoyos twice and restarted his yoyos once. But he still got first. Why? because he scored more than the others. He did tricks which were much more difficult than the others. Just because Jensen is your favourite player does'nt mean that you must hate Marcus' freestyle.

[@dibbadai666]

I see many people insisting that Sebastian Brock should've won due to "messing up less". Now honestly see his freestyle again - it's not really like there aren't any mess ups,is it? Sure Marcus had to change yoyos due to knots, but his freestyle was way more risky than Sebby's.To me contests are all about pushing the limits of yoyoing,not about delivering a performance with as little mistakes as possible. Certainly Marcus lost points because he had to switch yoyos, but he won regardless of that.

[@GhostWireThrows99]

So...Marcus may be better than me, but with all honesty, he isnt really all that great. Never has a worlds champion scored lower than 90 points. The REAL winner should have been jensen, you guys dont understand the complexity of his throw, he didnt do it to win either, like he had the flu. That AND if you noticed, he only uses one throw. Don't believe me? Go look. Props Jensen.

[@kuyaChrischan]

@Soakedboy That's what really happened. A player gets 5 'points' penalized from them for switching yoyos due to knots. It's a big debate in our little community how he won even with all those obvious messups. But with that in mind, if he won with tons of messups, what would've happened if it was flawless?

[@pizzaboy6877]

@h3llboy6661 the reason you said are wrong , he got 1st because he did behind the back and his combo are risk, those earned alot ( about 30pts) but he lost 9pts because he has to handed star and changed yoyo 2 times, i'm not a Marcus big fan but i think he deserved 1st, so all the haters we play yoyo 4 fun and think it's a part off our child memories, ok?

[@ButterscotchGenius]

@Dialga15132 I am sitting next to Marcus Koh right now. (In Russia) He said he used a Positron. ...Sorry. :) Augie

[@jaxball]

in the end he doesnt seem like to expect some good rankings for him, lol

[@SquidwardTentpoles]

@koceyoyobg I kinda don't like Mickey's performance anymore. Unless he makes more bangers that are new, because almost all of his tricks we're used since 2005, and only few new tricks this year. Anyways, I would be also glad to see Mickey in the finals, preferably in the top 3. Cheers! :)

[@SquidwardTentpoles]

Next WYYC it would probably be... Marcus Koh vs. Christopher Chia vs. Gentry Stein vs. Sebastian Brock vs. Jensen Kimmitt (if he will be doing a good and not a dead audience freestyle.. No offence, though, I'm a huge fan of Jensen, I've been doing his pops and it's fun to do XD)

[@Eorzat]

@YoHunter15Extras It's ironic cause in his other FS's, he pretty much flawless but he doesn't win them. He gets like second place. This is one of the contests that Marcus Koh finally wins but makes the most mistakes out of any of his other performances that I've seen.

[@Eorzat]

@purpleownz176 He had to change the yoyo twice as well as had to start it up once, andI don't know if it would count stopping at the end. There was more than 1 mistake; there were 3 pretty big mistakes, but it shows that his preformance was so good that he got 1st despite the mistakes.

[@MattitudeXSensei]

I really do think sebby should have won it but marcus was playing the points game, he just had higher scoring tricks that still looked AMAZING. I watched him practicing beforehand when he was doing it flawlessly and if he had hit all of his tricks, it would have been scored WAY higher than he got.

[@Floydandsome]

@Yoyopro3 Freestyle is not a trickshow if you want to see trick show just search the yoyo clip

[@codywright7628]

I think its funny that the 2011 World Champion gets smacked in the face by his yoyo in his performance. LOL 0:59

[@Floydandsome]

@coolerthenu458 yes it is truth shinya jensen in 2010 marcus same style hopping and popteen

[@michael3698bear]

SINGAPORE IS SO NOT THE MOST ADVANCE MAYBE IN YOYOING BUT NOT IN ANYTHING ELSE THE COUNTRY IS NOT FAMOS AT ALL I LEARNED ABOUT IT IN 5 THATS SO COOL GRADE AND MY STATE TEST SCORE WAS PERFECT THAT YEAR CHINA HAS WAY BETTER ECONMY

[@gabriellueck]

@h3llboy6661 i dont think that his tricks are very new any more given that people have been doing them for the past 2 years. also they arent very risky because hes practiced them so it doesnt matter if they are hard more anyone else to do.

[@pizzaboy6877]

@Jeffatonians dude that's normal if anyone can do behind the back like him, can get 100 score he got 1st because he did it , if he didn't Mickey will be 3rd, he lost 9 points but he earned back 20 points for did behind the back my man

[@Igknighton]

@CatCat1996 A big change? he's doing most of the same tricks he did last year. He's just not as enthusiastic.

[@coolerthenu458]

@jag5jag5 That only proves that he would've won by a much higher margin if he landed a better freestyle.

[@Floydandsome]

@Igknighton IN 2010 JEnsen is cheating point but in 2011 he is freestyling a big change

[@TheStevenBateson]

It's just a really fast unappealing performance the guy needs some style like last year Jensen kimmitts freestyle.This guys crazy fast and all but he has no swag like all these other players.

[@Charliearo1196]

@chibixleon 1a=yoyo atached to finger, string attached to yoyo 2a=2 yoyos, looping tricks 3a=2 yoyos 4a=string attached to finger not yoyo 5a=string attached to counter weight not finger

[@ChaosCompatibility]

This just shows that yoyoing is changing and just being solid is just only one of them. This arguing will go on forever, just stop it and enjoy the freestyle! Not like arguing will change anything anyway.

[@pizzaboy6877]

@Nasharah97 oh, i'm a big fan of Mickey but i have to say that Marcus is good and he deserved 1st, this year Mickey missed too much, i hope he'll have a cooler style next year. ((

[@Floydandsome]

@Luffirefly I am not a haters but this freestyle wasnt the best one in 1a divission

[@austinthevox]

This kid is good, far better then i will ever be XD But in my opinion: I dont see how he took first place, very sloppy and he had to change his yoyo twice. TWICE lol.

[@DomoYoz]

@izcheesyyoyo Christopher didn't go to the Singapore Yoyo Competition. Marcus then won SYYC and giving him a shot at the world yoyo contest. Which then he won.

[@DomoYoz]

@CatCat1996 Why do you think that Marcus' freestyle is a trickshow? If his freestyle is a trick show isn't that means that Jensen's freestyle is also a trickshow?

[@nurhakim12]

For those who didn't actually noticed... he pulled off the full black hops behind the back... how many of us can even do the proper black hops by the front? lol

[@tivo03]

Sebastian's was way better and much cleaner!!! How can somebody Fuck up thrice and committed many errors still win??? WTF!! are they judging??? Who fucks up more?

[@dibbadai666]

I think he's using a Positron by Turning Point. I also think they will be sold out from any online yoyo stores for a long time starting today or tomorrow... :)

[@AdamKellar]

No offense to Marcus at all. I firmly believe that Sebastian Brock won this year. Less mistakes, more consistent wow factor, and didn't have to swap yo-yos twice.

[@Floydandsome]

@Nasharah97 you know nothing about freestyle freestyle dosent mean a trick show

[@Luffirefly]

@CatCat1996 ahaha see, you're trying to pick an argument again. Stop contradicting yourself.

[@kiyokeo]

cant u guys just shut up and enjoy the freestyle? does complaining now makes any differences?

[@trev1228]

Mickey didnt do nearly as hard of tricks as this guy. So what if hes fast. This guy definitely deserved first. Even Gentry didnt do this kind of tricks.

[@Floydandsome]
