I opened this thread as I started making replays in 2015 and kept it up to this day, you can flip through my whole progression

I really started to improve around that time when I randomly met a bunch of friends who I still know to this day (shoddy, cboh, etc) (clen) and we would get dumbass ideas for shitpostcore replays and try to make them happen while dying laughing in the skype call. We wouldn't really worry about making insane/cool stuff but i'd ask for advice from them on specific stuff I wanted to do while we were playing, ended up getting good by accident that way.

could I have learned faster? definitely, I've seen people get good at this game very quickly, seem to remember a handful of players ending up with some solid looking replays in just a few months of trying, from constantly getting feedback on specific moves and what to do next. The issue is, with replaymaking specifically, it's a creative thing at its core and basing your approach to it completely off advice from others (based on their own view of the "right way") can lead to you making stuff that doesn't really stand out in any significant way.

You can definitely curate the cnc you get and decide what's objective widely applicable advice about how the physics work and stuff, and what's just personal preference from the person giving feedback, I think that's the best way to improve and goodly replaymake, just make what you personally wanna see and what you think is cool/funny.

It's also probably a lot easier to improve nowadays since players are just better and are able to give you that useful advice


I don't know, I just clicky joint
