    OK, i'm feeling that it's a bit way too late for the trick list for this year's world cup. So, in the spirit of the upcoming of the KWC, i made this thread to start the hype, make predictions, tricks, etc. cause im itching for the trick list & i just wanna try it out myself. Also, some here in the community had the time to film & collaborate with Tamotsu so we need a few insight or teasers for the tricks (i bet they will say taps,lighties,lunars, the ususal hahaha) but beyond that, i think there will bw fast hands & UFO lunes cuase it has been everyones pet peeves besides taps & instas.

    thanks all

    Last years trick list was released the last week of April. With that, my son keeps saying "I can't wait for the tricks to be released!!" At least 5 times a day. As far as tricks, fast hands seem to be the jam right now, but very hard to judge if it's legit so it will be interesting if we see any.

    It's not that late, really.

    For 2016:
    - KWC was held on 23rd July
    - The last trick video came out on 2nd May
    - 82 days apart

    For 2015:
    - KWC was held on 18th July
    - The last trick vid came out on 6th May
    - 73 days apart.

    So, based on the following data, the first tricklist video for the 2017 KWC (which will be held on the 22nd July) should appear on the 25/26/27th April.
    It should give all of us under 80 days to train.

    As for the tricks themselves, god knows..

    Yeah, beginning of May usually. But I'm hyped and curious because this year there are going to be 12 levels. 2016 is the only list where I haven't hit any of the level 10s, so I can't even imagine what they'll put for those levels

    Are they actually going to be just 2 new, harder levels. Or do you think they will just move the previous level 10 to level 12, and add some stuff in between.

    Oh god haha

    Honestly I have no idea. After watching Bryson destroy his run at KWC, I could see them just saying fuck it and adding in some bangers for 11 and 12.
    But I guess the more sensible version would be to just make the 2 new levels the harder ones and add stuff in between

    Kota told me that it was more of the second option, since there were some decent difficulty gaps in the levels (level 5-6-7 were sort of bigger jumps than the others imo)

    That said, the tricks have become harder across the board for the last 3 years, so don't expect anything less than a challenge

    Yank spikes are just a scam created by deep pocketed kendama corporations to accelerate dama destruction and promote consumption and consumerism and violate the environment. WAKE UP PEOPLE.

    Hey guys,

    so i saw alot of people getting in to this thread & thanks for that. so i post a poll for those attending for this year's KWC. Right now, i can't come to this year's KWC cause im still fresh from college so i still got to find a job soon & still not in the level for the World Cup. But I do wanna know from you guys that will be attending this year. consider this a headcount for attendance here at DS. happy polling guys :D
