I feel as if I should comment on this NutHug business.
Yes, he is a good replay maker.. but, as for him bringing the replay world (and anything else on topic) to the next level.. I would have to disagree, without the players that came before him, he wouldn't be where he is today.
the player (or players) who most contributed to the SP/realism world by my opinion based on EXP, years of game history, and watching the eVolution of the game would have to be Noweb, Dafe, & ChezDa. They gave everyone a different perspective on how the game can be played and gave future players a starting point, branching off what they presented to the game players trained to one day display Toribash in the unique way they did.
Where 1 player brings new insperation, so does others.
Where player A inspires player B, player B inspires player C, and so starts a never ending cicle. The games Old schoolers has perfected the basic movements, rotations, timings, etc. (I guess in short, Physics) which gave players a faster, stronger, & a more "well rounded" learning curve.
There was once a time where running/walking was thought to be an impossible task to accomplish... And then [Torigod]Patrick graced us with the games 1st full complete walk/run and forever changed the way the physics were looked at. (When I 1st saw it, I shat bricks.. truths)
Also archery or what players today call "head tossing/passing" was discovered by a player named Spritecat. (very old eVo member/see Roster History sticky)

Older or "outdated" products of all kinds along with most of everything had a starting point and from that day on evolved in many ways to give a better or more positive outlook on said "products", expanding portions & areas, adding & upgrading, making it overall better.. but, no matter how great something is you always look back at what it once was to what it is today because of it.
The Earth was not created in a day, good things take time and patients, but great things require Understanding..

Not sure if my views and opinions mean much here but to each there own..
Peace, Love & 420
