Chip off the old block: nice opener. you know how to move around and it looks good, but it's not the focus of the replay
the focus of the replay is the first few hits holy shit. the elbow-abs-wrist combo was fantastic.

after the decap you get into a weird position at 190, but you are smart enough not to kick off the ground since that would completely not work, as your lumbar region is really distorted (it's bending to the left iirc) and you would end up with a wonky push off the ground while your tori looked like a pretzel. you decide to do a slow transition, which makes the weird lumbar position a lot less noticeable. i know people would criticize this decision because what you do afterwards is "slow", but i have no problem with slow as long as it looks good. generally being fast is move effective, as in it gets you from point A to point B faster and it allows for more powerful hits, but everything you did would have not been different had you been going fast.

i also like your decision to lift the piece again instead of kicking right away, it gives you more space and time to set up for the hit. another good replay, so far so good.

One hit wonder: nice display of flipping around and quick switching of support limbs. total control during the opener, which is GOODO~

hits were nice, although not very creative. it doesn't bother me though, since the other two replays you posted already showed that you are more than capable of doing quirky hits and being creative with your dms, Free fall especially. also, i really like the transition to the pose, although i'm not sure i agree with the fast left knee extension. the pose was a bit stiff too, but those are minor complaints compared to the good stuff you did in all of the 3 replays.

the execution in this replay is pretty damn good, so this one is good enough for me aswell. yes from me, i'll wait a bit to see if anyone wishes to chime in

While I agree with pusga's points on some of the parts not being very creative I feel like something is missing from the replays. Everything else is there yes, but I feel its missing something that truly makes these replays yours.
I'm kinda on the fence with this one, but I'll think it over and give my final result this afternoon. You can post a replay to try and change my mind though, but its not necessary.
Kinda waiting on how Tsuion feels about these as well, but again I'll have my final answer in about 3 hours or something.


also nicolas, I'll review your app once I get home I'm kinda in a rush.

edit: its gonna take longer than I had thought, its basically thanksgiving in canada right now, so I apologize I have things to do. When all the celebrations are done, I'll get to the reviews as soon as I can.
