So I know at the very least both me and Internet are big fans of your replays, and they were influential in development of our styles.

I've talked about this with some guys on IRC and I think the general idea is that we consider Oracle replays to be some of the first that focused on smooth and creative movement as a primary focus of the replay (along with Rutz). Discipline is a good example of this, with a lot of focus put on the opener rather than the ukebashing itself. Balance began to play an important role in replays with this as well

That's the basic idea, I'm sure it will be explained better when the section is actually written. I will also say that I feel kinda uncomfortable putting myself on the list as well but people seem to accept the inclusion


Regarding as to why this isn't a history of replays in general, it may be expanded to that but I decided to limit it to an area that I'm familiar with as I expected a lot of the writing to come from me since it was my idea. If other people are willing to write up things about realism and hacking then you're free to, but I want to make sure I finish something. This is also why I'm trying to keep the list short because I want to treat the most important people in depth, rather than talk about a lot of people and lose sight of the most important things, or leave the piece unfinished.
