well, cosnidering I joined the game back in 2013 I'm not quite sure what has changed since before that time and how major of a difference that is. As of right now replaymaking is a bit less active than it used to be, but the newer up and comers of replaymaking have more potential than any other. A new toribash installment is currently in production and from what I've seen (hampa tends to leak a bunch of gifs through the ICA clan discord) It looks really good and adds a whole bunch of new features that are useful to any type of player. I think the community will be way more active after the new game comes out.
As for myself, I'm trying to take toribash tricking into something more free form and personalised. I've heard lots of people complaining that it all looks the same, which is why I try brand new and made up movements and transitions. Hopefully more people start looking at the replay genre this way too.
Thanks for the comment, always nice to see people come back to the game.
