BioEx, Festus and Numbers were basically whom taught me how to make replays, I'd pretty much just sit in Skype calls with them and bombard them with completely garbage replays for 2 years straight whilst they off handedly gave me pointers that ended up shaping my replay making style. Festus always encouraged me to just let the replay take me where it goes rather than trying to force it into what I want it to do because it'll always lead to something more interesting. Numbers would constantly reiterate that being smooth and fluid without dropping your momentum should always be valued over anything else, as well as filling dead space within replays with some sort of substance. BioEx encouraged me to maintain balance and staying rather realistic within my replays, I don't particularly agree to that notion anymore but it still has ended up shaping the way I've learned to move around and the way I pick my movements.

I'd say I definitely drew most of my style inspiration from Jaker and Festus though. Jaker's replays were and are some of the most smooth and fluid replays I've ever seen, I've always tried to emulate this/surpass it but I haven't quite got there yet. And Festus's replays were just cool to me, with lots of interesting/weighty movements within them, he never disregarded how cool openers could be and I've always tried to keep that ideology of not using shit openers just to start a replay faster.

And I'd say Swexx as well, seeing as how me and him have been throwing WIP's of replays back and forth to each other for CnC for a long time, and he always has some unique insight on how I should approach things.
