I'm so jealous of the way you move. As someone who struggles to get any form of momentum when replaymaking, the way you effortlessly spin and dance around without stopping is mesmerizing and something I wish I could do.
Manips are my favorite type of replay by far, but they're kind of uncommon to see nowadays. You are by far the best at them that I've ever seen. Whether its a regular manip or relaxed manip, you perform both of them so flawlessly while keeping both you and uke flowing like water.
Then I watched "hot head" and you're even good at grab manips! The opener gets you some good momentum, but then the way you landed it is a bit odd. I didn't really like the position you landed in, but I get that it was to setup for the grab. The first initial throw is a bit weird, uke is heavy after all and throwing him with one hand will definitely force some akward moves, but the way you got uke to spin is a great payoff. The continuation was great, and that second grab to flip uke over I liked a lot. The first backhand is a bit lacking, but it does the job well enough. The first kick flowed great, but I feel like you definitely could have gotten a better hit. Second kick is the same, I feel like the power is missing from both of those kicks. I liked the pose. I think the only real issue I have with the replay are the dm's.
Now try doing a -30 manip, I'm curious to see how you approach doing one. Love your stuff dude, you're definitely one of my favorite ukebashers! "Imperishable night" is probably my favorite ukebashing replay of all time now.
Also collab with me again when
