The third time's the charm.
Well then, third replay thread up. Mostly newer stuff I've made, madmans and the like.

Enjoy, C&C is welcomed.

great madmans!

keeping up the balance: very nice energetic madman, especialy liked the backwards straight kick (instead of hook), you don't see a lot of them.
making an uke sandwich: you sure love mutilating the torso region, don't you? and the crotch block <3!
abstract: this is maybe the most mediocre of these. but that isn't saying much (much bad, that is). just no funny stuff, all the dm's are of usual pattern, no "talisman" decaps, no special strikes, nothing special. well, i would've said that about the torso parts raining off in the middle a while ago, but lately I've grown used to that sort of dm's because I know how easily (not easy, usually it's luck) they are made when grabbing and moving the part vigorously. BUT the average moves and stuff here are better executed than they often are, so still very good.
back off, glutes: loved the backwards over the head kick
pain in the neck: this sort of "raining off" I like, because it requires way more skills. slamming (parts of) uke to (parts of) himself, that is.

all in all, we seem to make madmans in a very similar way. you do use simpler starters usually with no prep, and you tear more (where I prefer as much striking as possible), and when striking, you keep uke closer than I do, but the general "air to it" is very similar.

If you want to, you can find out your own opinion on this, by checking my thread.
I refuse to grab.

Thanks for the positive comments Archlurps, glad to see someone replied. Also, about the clubbing, I believe I have better ones than the one in 'pain in the neck', somewhere.

Couple more replays attached, this time about multi-DM hitting replays.

Edit: Added a revisit to one of my older replays.

Boom Boom Boom: I just LOVE shatterhits (several DM's in the same frame from the same strike) and clutterhits (several DM's from the same strike in nearby frames), unless they are grab hits (I don't mean you can't grab with one hand and hit with the other, or kick, but I don't like it if you punch with a grabbed fist). but hey, that means I liked 2 of the three here. great replay.
uke has glass bones: actually I don't like grabby hits at all, eve if they don't clutter-/shatterhit. other than that, this is a really nice madman, and the non-grabby shatterhit (the hook kick to the glutes) was stylish on it's own, too.
entire body revisit: very juicy madman! these shatterhits are borderline cases, but better than grabby ones, easily. that is because it's either a very small part that's the other dm, making it less stylish, or more like tearing by levering with the striking limb. but these are almost as good as "regular" whole limb/decap/big part/chest section shatterhits, whereas grabby ones I rate even below single DM non-grabby strikes, where all the other grabby strikes go in my scale. even tearing is better than grabby IMHO. very nice regardless the above.

I have a few shatterhits (as parts of madmans) in my thread, too, if you wanna check.

Well then, seeing how Arch hates grabby hits (:P), here's a couple replays focused more on kicks and non-grabby hits.

Enjoy.

feeling a little loopy: you hit another sweet spot here. I just LOVE spinny kick combos. what would be even better would be several straight-hook combos in one replay, but this is awesome too. one reason I am able to rate these higher is also the fact that they are pretty much impossible without grabbing or using a mod, so I have to justify grabbing to rate one of my favourite things in the game well.
it's kicky: this is a near-prefect "classic" madman! by "classic" I mean (in this exact context), a madman with none of the newer developments, like dancing before it, or a lot of shatterhits, or excessive limpness or fluidity. what makes it almost perfect is the sum of a lot of things: the transitions are beautiful, not exactly fluid (they're not supposed to be), but they keep the flow of the movement, still remaining "tough", there are a lot of dismemberments, it's still short, alternating legs for kick combos and alternating between hook and straight kicks. the small impurities in this replay are the tearing (I can take some, but I'd rather take none, if it looks that easy) and the lame opener, that seems to function only to tip uke into a position mre suited for a certain strike. still, very good. if I did /10 ratings, this would feel like a 10- right now.
