your dms are alright but they look rushed and because of that it doesn't look like you put much effort into anything besides them.

Xioi: i don't think anyone else is going to submit any further thoughts on your app, consider yourself in
will do Matt in a second

Matt: you're in a stage where we can't really help you much, your replays are not that well defined yet, so your ideas don't completely translate to reality, which makes it unlikely that you will intentionally do something amazing
this isn't criticism or a bad thing though, everyone goes through this before they start making the replays that they want. the only advice you should follow right now is practice and make more replays.
Beat a cat etc.: the opener was pretty decent until you touched uke, the lift didn't leave you in an easy position to work with, but it could have been fixed with the use of more joints to spin more.
i think the dms are too straight-forward to be interesting, you just kicked whatever you could or whatever was in range, regardless of how good your setup was for the hit (which sometimes forced you to rush into forced setups, and it obviously doesn't look very intentional and pretty).
Short lil etc.: this one looked a bit less forced. your movement was minimalistic, which isn't a bad thing on itself, but i think that you didn't combine that minimalism with hits that would fit in. any sort of movement would probably look as good with those hits, so instead the movement just looks a bit lazy imo.
Old etc (i cant remember your replay names sorry dude ): this is probably the most "defined" replay, and by that i mean that it has ideas and wasn't made based on what options were easier to follow, or what hits were easier to make with the setups you had. it looks like you went out of your way to create something a bit more personal, and that's good.
as a result of that, the ideas in this replay are a bit weird, and it could have been a pretty good replay if you were experienced enough to make those unorthodox movements and hits look good. this is where practise comes in, you should make more replays and study how the game works, so that you know what to do in order to achieve what you want when editing a replay. usually if the ideas are weird, you need good execution to make them work, that right now i believe that is what you should practice.
it's a no for now, but this doesn't mean anything, nobody would have been accepted with the amount of experience you have right now. good luck
