How do they destroy Uke's body easily?
Take this example:
You extend your knee and contract your hip to kick and it connected. Now, imagine another scenario, you lift your knee, turn your whole body in the direction of your knee and at the correct time, your extend your knee.
The difference between first and second scenario was that the first one used tiny momentum. While the second one had a devastating effect of turning. Most replay makers use the second one.
How can they move so realistic?
By spending a lot of time on each frame and planning the move. Try this the next time you make a replay: spend twice the amount of time on each frame. You will spend more time thinking and using your imagination and hence your brain will record more joint combinations and their outcomes.
How can they balance/ stand up perfectly after fighting?
In the answer to the first question, the momentum in second scenario was great but once you break through the body, it is hard to maintain your body. This is exactly why too much momentum is not good. To maintain your body, try different things. What I do in my replays is do a relax all and experiment. If it does not look good, or I just fail, I try something else. It really has to do with your motivation, if you are not well motivated, you will quit halfway through a great replay.
What gravity should I put?
-30. The best gravity simply. It has many advantages. If you play aikido, it will really help you to get familiar with this gravity. -30 makes your body well grounded and does not make you fly away if you use too much momentum. It is the best gravity for realism, although some people prefer -20 or -25, it's up to you.
Classic.tbm. There is nothing but you and uke. Helps a lot in concentrating.
