Official /r/twintails Twintail Classification System!


So after a week we deliberated and finally came up with a thorough system to classify twintails into 3 criteria decided by you all and the twintail community!Here is the original post and here is the stickied post in /r/twintailsJust as a reminder this system's goal is not to index every aspect of every single twintail style in existence or to say some twintails look objectively "better" than others.We did this to have fun and get the community involved with fun stuff! It should be easy to use and still thorough enough to cover the vast expanses of most twintail styles!So without stalling anymore here is what we've come up with-Overall there are 3 criteria and the classifications will look as follows- Position/ Class/ StylingThere will be 4 positions- Hung, Low, Mid, and High.As far as Class (length) goes I still like having that shout out to the old ZR scale in here somewhere and the scale works well. So we'll refer to the scale down below! (Take note that the higher the rank doesn't necessarily mean the tails are "better"! A higher rank just means the tails or more extreme in their length. The community has shown that they feel some things like drills look better shorter!)For the Style we can literally have as many styles as we want without hurting anything. Just tag whatever style you want on the end, but try to be standardized. If you see people using one name for something go ahead and go with that name. We want to make this recognizable!Styles (this can be expanded indefinitely)Twintails (Hatsune Miku)Braids (Akemi Homura)Drills (Mami Tomoe)Splitails (Kagami Hiiragi)Partialtails (Tohsaka Rin)Buntails (Sailor Moon)Partialbuns (Shampoo from Ranma 1/2)Buns (Chun-Li of course)Length scaleS = same length as A, but has to include ZRA = Anything below kneesB = Between hips and kneesC = Between hips and collarboneD = Everything above (cut off being the collarbone)F = Ponytails or anything else that's blasphemous against glorious twintails.This would give us a scale that worked like so...This would be considered High D-Class DrillsThese would be Low A-Class TailsHere we would have Mid C-Class SplitailsThen this would be Hung B-Class TailsAnd of course Hatsune Miku being High S-Class TailsI think overall this system would be the easiest for everyone to swallow while still being thorough.ALSO FEEL FREE TO JUST USE THE LENGTH CLASSES IF YOU WANT!It may get tedious to sit around and refer to all 3 classifications every single time, so don't feel as if it's always necessary. If you just want to refer to things by their length then by all means go for it. http://ift.tt/1P8YdTP
