I think you are underrating the difficulty of a hip hecht skill, especially when it entails learning a new skill family not often used elsewhere (namely the hip pop off the bar which made more sense when beating the bars was a skill everyone did constantly)

I have a feeling they're a cousin of Grace Grace Edit- I see I was beat to this quip :ROFLMAO::LOL:

It was telling that Leanne knew the problems with her composition when she missed a twist, but felt stuck with it.
