How?

Rybalko's receive connection bonus now and the deduction for completion angle was reduced. But despite that, still nobody doing it.

Aaaah, yes. It has to be a D, though, so it has to be to el-grip, and that makes it harder to get to the right angle of completion.

I DO think we may see some stalder hop 1.5 (to mixed grip) into piked, layout, or fulltwisting Jaegers for D + D/E/G + connection bonus. Agree?

(BTW, I totally forgot that piked Jaeger was upgraded to D. Funny that WAG raised that above straddled Jaeger for a while and then went back. I think MAG will go back in 2028, too.)

It only has to be completed within 60 degrees to avoid a significant deduction, very forgiving!

The dream is Clear-hip layout tkatchev (will settle for stalder version) + Rybalko + Winkler. Someone did a similar combo in the past, can't remember who. ETA - I found it, Fabian Hambuechen! He started the combo with a regular layout tkatchev.
