View source for 4-count

This pattern is part of the [[Selfs and Passes]] series.

== Patterns to do before this one ==

* stable 3 club cascade
* [[ 5-club 1-count ]]  

== 4-count ==

This pattern is [[period]] 4, so all passes only happen from the right hand (or only from the left hand). 

[[half-synchronous Siteswap]]: <3p|3|3|3, 3p|3|3|3>

In two lines, one for each juggler:
<pre>
A 1|2:  3p  3   3   3  
B 1|2:  3p  3   3   3  
</pre>

Sequence: A and B start at the same time and both throw straight passes:

P=[[pass]]

S=[[self]]

<pre>
A 1|2:  P S S S
B 1|2:  P S S S 
</pre>

== Additional Things to Do ==

As this (and the other n-count patterns) has been a very common pattern for a long time, it has accumulated many tricks to do. 

=== Siteswap changes on your side ===

All of the following changes do not change the pattern of the other juggler, but happen solely on your side.

I will try going systematically through all pattern changes using [[siteswap]] theory, because there are many of those [[pattern]]s/[[tricks]] and it helps to have a systematic way to go through them. There are also some things that cannot be expressed by siteswap. 

I will also write throws as numbers an not letters, because there are too many different throws to use one-letter codes that are obvious.  To see a translation of numbers to throws, see the table in [[2 juggler half-synchronous siteswap]]



Throw sequence (only one juggler shown, the other one can stay in regular 4-count or do other tricks):

I will additionally insert a "|" after every 4 beats - the pass would normally come after the "|"

* regular 4-count:
<pre>
        3p 3 3 3 | 3p 3 3 3 | 3p 3 3 3 
</pre>

I start with the pass of a regular 4-count and again end with throws of a normal 4-count to show the transitions.

As the pattern siteswap is 3p333, any 33 can be swapped for 42 (even if the 3 is a 3p)

--> 2334p, 3p423, 3p342, 42p33

* [[early double]] 2334p 
<pre>
        3p 3 3 4p | 2 3 3 3 | 3p 3 3 3
</pre>
Instead of the [[flip]], you can hold the club, but spin your own body around once. 

* 3p423
<pre>
        3p 3 3 3 | 3p 4 2 3 | 3p 3 3 3
</pre>

* 3p342
<pre>
        3p 3 3 3 | 3p 3 4 2 | 3p 3 3 3
</pre>

* 42p33
<pre>
        3p 3 3 3 | 4 2p 3 3 | 3p 3 3 3
</pre>


Then we can change 33 to 42 twice in the same period: 

--> 2424p, 2p424 

* 2424p
<pre>
        3p 3 3 4p | 2 4 2 3 | 3p 3 3 3
</pre>

* 2p424
<pre>
        3p 3 3 3 | 4 2p 4 2 | 3p 3 3 3
</pre>


and most 333 can be swapped to 441 (the 1 shouldnt become a pass)

--> 4134p, 3p441, 

* 4134p
<pre>
        3p 3 3 4p | 4 1 3 3 | 3p 3 3 3
</pre>

* 3p441
<pre>
        3p 3 3 3 | 3p 4 4 1 | 3p 3 3 3
</pre>

* 1344p
<pre>
        3p 3 4 4p | 1 3 3 3 | 3p 3 3 3
</pre>


or against 531

--> 3135p, 3p531, 3p135

* 3135p
<pre>
        3p 3 5p 3 | 1 3 3 3 | 3p 3 3 3 
</pre>

* 3p531
<pre>
        3p 3 3 3 | 3p 5 3 1 | 3p 3 3 3 
</pre>

* 3p135
<pre>
        3p 3 3 5 | 3p 1 3 3 | 3p 3 3 3 
</pre>


=== Changes that change the partners pattern ===

* [[late double]] 4p333 (partner has to react with the "2" as a hold by not throwing)
* 444 - go into juggling 4-clubs until you continue by throwing a pass


=== Non-Siteswap Changes ===

* all kinds of tricks like tomahawks, helis, under-the-leg throws, backcross-passes, etc, etc, etc

* make a step after throwing your pass, before catching the other pass. Catch with the right hand. If you do a step on each pass, you are now in a slow 3-count vs the 4-count of the other juggler. The other juggler has to continue throwing straight at the place where passes used to go.
