I'll be going with the Twirl change, and for an on-the-deck change I definitely choose Smooth.
hey, if it works for you, and you like it than more power to you. Its just not somethin i find myself using, and doesn't fit my style. To each his own.
Hmmmm.. I'm sorry but I have to disagree. Obviously you like very instant changes, but the Twirl change is one of the effects that can suit any style so that's just a bad excuse. You can make it as instant as you want. But okay, fair enough, you don't find yourself using it.
But by calling it lame and easy to figure out, you shouldn't be liking it's brother, the Shapeshifter. At the Twirl change you have barely nothing to relate any motions and positions too, which makes the Shapeshifter far easier to figure out because you can relate it to the position of the deck.
