i don't like comparing myself to other people but i'm just gonna do it for the sake of trying to cheer you up because i'm feeling like it today and because you need it there are two replaymakers, you probably know them, joined somewhat at the same time i did, one even after that. i got told once that i was better than them. that's not up to me to decide though. what i want to say with this is that those guys were once so ahead of me that you wouldn't believe it. i hadn't scored my first boomhit and they were starring in videos whenever they felt like it. obviously it made me sad. at the time, i was actually trying to get good because i wanted to compete. but just because i wasn't as good as two people, i just gave up and started playing the game because it was fun, and not for the competition. i didn't try to make my replays look good, i just went with whatever my instinct and head told me to go with. later, when that someone told me that (in his opinion) i was better than those people, it surprised me because i wasn't even trying to surpass anyone or anything anymore. i'm not saying that you're doing that though, if i recall correctly you're not one to take notes on every piece of CnC around the corner, but i think that it's really important, even if it's just for the sake of cheering you up a bit :v if you enjoy making replays, make them, and keep making them. if you make replays for yourself, you'll enjoy them much more and you'll put more into them to the point where you no longer impress yourself, but everyone else too.
