Aerial stomp: I personally would have loved it more destructive, too, but my momentum was too much to be tamed (kept to the ground and close to uke), so I had to resort to a short combo. to get things clear, it only had two strikes, the nip of uke's calf was unintentional, and hence could hardly dismember
Bull Rush: Yeah, the opener could be more destructive, or more stylish, but as said, this isn't as good as newer ones, because I made it during my break.
Orbiter Split: You're not completely wrong. I do love destruction, too, but even a huge shatterhit isn't cool if it's stiff and needs a grab for a 100 frames. Also, I do think I have a lot of destructive replays, but they have a lot of strikes, so I do favor style over destruction for each individual strike.
Antigrav combo: funny how nobody hasn't snagged on to the "real world reference" in the explanation... or hasn't anyone read it? Either way, here, too there is at least one unintentional touch of uke, and another hit that I consider placing uke (the "punch" from below his legs in the beginning). Also Uke's leg between my legs I'd consider holding, but much more sophisticated than grabbing, and finally, the kick to the back of uke's hip joint during the final punch was to keep the rest of him in place to deliver the energy into the hip only and dismember. Just to make things clear

Shows how much you love comments eh? Leaving comments on the comments.

*Tempted to comment on the comment on my comment...*
@tamer: lol, I really wouldn't mind that, tamer... actually I'd really be interested about what you think of antigrav combo now that you know which touches to uke were meant to be what.

It's really not as weirds as it looks, it's just easier to say what I want to say to everybody if I have a format

@mikeh: I could help you... although it's really hard just "helping" without a proper topic. PM me with a precise explanation of a problem and I'll probably be able to help.


still one comment (from someone who hasn't yet seen the newest replays) to go until the next batch. How do I know? well there are only two views on the latest replays. lol?
I refuse to grab.

Like CnC? Most people do. Be a dear and spread the love!
Damn right it does! Great new stuff, Flipschool Extended was hella awesome. Do want more of that style, much more. Needless to say, love it.

THE BARREL ROLL
Thanks, shook. Hopefully I won't have to nag as much as before to get my comments from now on... although I'm running out of replays (and weekend), so that might not be the (only) thing that'll kill the thread.

Let's hope, though, that I'll be able to keep it alive

Also sorry everyone about the nagging. I'm not mad at you guys, but those who are like I explained: post their own threads and expect others to enthusiastically comment them, while not bothering to comment a single thread, or very few, themselves.

Here's another bunch. I'll also work on a BARREL ROLL (no, there's no bb-codes, it's just one of those words like sex that just jump at you on themselves), and I'd like a mod to change the thread name into "back in the saddle (includes BARREL ROLL).
Propaganda: Yes, I had this on a "rate the replay above you" thread, but I think nobody else but the guy who rated it (at 7,5/10... lol?) watched it... actually not sure if he did, either. Also I didn't explain the name in there. I actually scrood up the entrance for this one with all that shit above, so imagine the explanation starts here: If there's something I'm famous for (or closest to it) on multiplayer, it's the switcheroo, the notorious legrobber, my switchick Taek Kyon opener. This replay is based on it, but to keep it loyal to it's cause (propaganda), I'm gonna say it usually causes such destruction online.
Propaganda alternate ending: I hate tapkicks, so I made an edit of the above with the tapkick in the end removed.
Watch me as I eat you alive: One of the coolest names I've come up with :P. Especially in comparison to the replay, because while it's not exactly "meh", it still isn't one of my best. It's an untappied (tappy=tapkick ) version of "teaching uke to flip", but since the tapkick was the very first strike, it's a completely different replay. The name comes from the fact that uke's head stays intact for the whole time, and since it takes less than 30 seconds (the time a human's head stays functional without blood flow), and his head remains joined to his torso, there's a good chance he saw what I did to him . look at the pose from behind if you're interested, it's a classic guitar hero stance :P
teaching uke to headspin: this is also an edit from the same replay as the above... prolly didn't remember this existed when i started work on it. Anyways, this time uke's head's spinning in the end, so staying with the theme of the original, this time I taught him the all-time favourite breakdancing move
here's a frikkin BARREL ROLL: Here it is, the BARREL ROLL that everybody's been waiting for. If you think it's too slow or the wrong way around, make you own and come whine about this one to me after that if you still think it sucks. Also I think the consecutive combo is cool

Well, those are all really good. I'm too lazy to rate all of 'em, so I'm going to pick out my favorites and critique them.

1 momentum dropkick - Very smooth. I like how you crumple at first, then swing your legs way up (and in doing so, defy gravity).

1 orbiter split - I really like this. It's not overly complex, or fast. It's just stylish. The kick looks great, and then the fact that you follow through with the flip makes it even cooler.

2 flipschool extended version - Excellent follow ups. The kicks were fast, and well placed too. The one problem would be following through with extending your legs. I liked it a lot better with that last kick.


2 propaganda - This one is great. It amazes me how you can aim so well that you don't have to manipulate uke at all. The first kick is great. It looks weak, then it speeds up all of a sudden. I like the original ending better than the alt.

I didn't really like the barrel roll one. It was sloppy.


Great job overall.

<@Phoenix_afk> pro
dropkick: Very nice manipulation of uke's momentum. Could have rolled out of the way better, though.
K-Nee: Fatality. That is all.
Tri-Cook That's pretty damn sneaky, and you got a free decap.
Whipkick A bit too standard for my taste, I had the feeling you could've made it more stylish.
Wushooks Would have been better without the non-dm kick, but y'know.
Aerial Stump: the first kick seemed un-needed imo, but solid decap.
(Red)Bull Rush Pretty brutal, love how you kick his last elg off and he goes spinning. Would add extra pwnpoints if you split him with that first panch.
Orbiter: Very nice spinkick.
Antigrav: Love it, especially the pimpslap
BoaC: You broke his vagina
Flawless: Very akin to my aikidowin8 replay, except i span him way more
Cap of speed: Probably the least enjoyable to me, as they're all tap-you're-it DMs.
Teaching: I liek. I did this in MP once by kicking the opponents head and making him do a backflip :P
Flipschool: Director's split edition :P noice.
Propaganda: I enjoy. Bonus points for the headspin.
Prop2: Not as good as the original imo, it lacks headspin.
Watch My Cannibalism: You missed the head, it's the tastiest part :C
Headspin: BADUM TISH. I like how you made it look as if he were suffering.
DO A BARRELROLL Satisfies barrelroll requirements :P
Aslask: link8: Do you know what the soviet union is? Or was
Marco: link8: do you know what a carrot is? Or was
Thanks, DF and Vigilante. I'll still wait a comment or two before posting more replays (I'll have two good ones by then, and two attempts at the barrel roll you saw)

@Vigilante: That's exactly why I use the kick in propaganda as my opener in TKD. Although because of the turnframes and practical reasons, I aim at the legs. Always takes at least one unless I lose one of mine first.

@DoubleFort: First of all, thank you for seeing the trouble to comment all of them. It was very interesting finding the things you pointed out. I didn't like "whipkick" and "capoiera on speed" too much myself... at least not as much as the rest of the replays. I did like "watch me as I eat you alive" more than "teaching uke to headspin", because the two last kicks where almost the same one repeated in "spinschool". Will try and edit Bull rush like you suggested, but if I'm correct, I tried exactly that originally and found it very hard... then again I was on a break back then, so nothing's saying I can't do it now.

edit: i don't dare to use my bump yet, since I lack one or two replays for the next bunch... I'll add it later, now I'm gonna study for tomorrow's test and maybe go outside for a while... lovely cold, bright day and a lot of snow <3

So many skilled players in this forum! Nice replays, all of them. Watch me as i eat you alive was my fav out of your last batch of replays.
[A L P H A]
Alright, I said I'd return the favour so here it is.

Propaganda - Letting out the destructive Archlurps a bit more are we? Nice combo here, good mix of style and destruction.
Propaganda Alternate - I see what you wanted to achieve but the original is still ranked higher for me. ;)
Watch Me As I Eat You Alive - Sweet little de-limbing combo here, could've done with a decap at the end though as a finisher.
Teaching Uke To Headspin - I love the decap there, very stylish indeed. The build up to it was brilliant too.
BARREL ROLL - Icwutudidthar, could've done with a decap as well but that's just me. Nice one.

Also, sorry for the short comments, I'm late for school.
