mack: i feel really bad for saying no to you
youre a cool guy and make good replays. me and nearly were in irc discussing and we reached a point where both of us were on the fence and wished for some other recruiter to tiebreak it for us instead, but ultimately i thought that you are (VERY VERY SLIGHTLY LIKE THE MOST EVER) short of being accepted
story of a paradise is very good, your hits are way more interesting and cool to look at in this replay than in all the other replays in your previous app iirc. this replay is ormo worthy, nearly agreed on that aswell
the laser replay was well done, but there was a lot of the same trick and similar movements. the fact that you were dodging lasers the whole time was super cool, but unfortunately it cannot replace what we usually expect from tricking replays, which is good execution of tricks that are interesting, and not trite.
i realise that it is difficult to execute 420 double burger king gainers when you need to worry about instagib lasers flying your way, but even when there weren't any lasers for a lot of frames you seemed to be doing standard tricks.
acrobatism made me a bit sad, mostly because it was the replay that made me go for a no. everything until frame 450 is ormo IMO. the manipulation is great, very well executed and looks different and more enjoyable than the average generic manip. the hits were good aswell, mostly because they didn't require you to sacrifice any momentum, or require you to go into a weird position, they just happened.
that crotch grab and kick destroyed the replay for me, though. after a batch of good hits, you decided to grab the hip, completely stopping everything you were doing and all of your momentum, and going for a hit that is definitely not worth all the hassle. it made it look like you were desperate for more hits, and wanted to kick that crotchblock off at any cost possible. i think practically anything else would have been a better option.
i really wanted to say yes after i saw your older replays and your replays right now which show you improving a lot, but right now i'm afraid that it's just sooo close but not quite. good luck next time you apply, for real
