I guess I'll give you some input.

#con1 - Pretty simple replay here. Your first hit with your right arm made it look like you were trying to dm there. Also, a small thing that I tell people, try not to grab uke before you dm him, it makes it seem like you don't have as much control over your tori, because you're "relying" on it to get a good hit, rather than giving yourself a good setup. For your decap, try to hit with your hand rather than your forearm, it looks more purposeful and clean that way. I did like the knee hit though, it looks nice. The grab on the arm didn't seem to serve any purpose, I would've edited that out.

#con4 - I liked the lift, but I think it could've been better. Generally you want uke to go up while you stay on the ground. That way, you can use the ground to position yourself for a good hit on him, rather than use grabs to basically climb up his legs in the air. If just looks better that way. Your first hit was nice, but you generally want to start off with a "meatier" hit, rather than go for extremities first. If you're going to be dm'ing knees and elbows at the beginning, you should probably follow that up quickly or else its just kind of awkward looking. The hook decap was nice, not too many problems there. It looked like you were trying to do a followup hook with the other leg but it didn't work. It would've been good to either make that kick work or make it look like you didn't even try with it. The knee dm looked accidental as well, and also its not good to end on a "weak" dm like that, it makes the replay anticlimactic. Btw you were looking a bit stiff while you were doing your air-grab-climb thing, try and get a bit more fluid movement in there with your tori.

#con5 - Once again, my "try to not grab before dming" adage will be mentioned. I didn't like that you got the shoulder dm with your thigh, it looks messy. Your second kick looked like you were going for a glute dm, then you got a pec dm, and you just kept it. With a bit of more careful editing that probably could've been a boom. Also, the way that you contracted and extended your knee after that kick I didn't like, and it didn't really do anything. The decap punch into headkick was pretty cool though, I dug that.

I'm going to stop there, because cnc'ing 5 replays is a lot of work. I'll just say you've got some stuff to work on, but that can basically be fixed with more practice and spending more time editing. I'm sure you'll improve a lot with this thread.

Haha thanks man, I like the insight you put into it. I'm really not used to making replays. Like you said, I'll get better with more practice. Last time I made any replays was a year or 2 ago so I didn't expect to be good at it lol. But I'll learn.

That was very well thought out, I appreciate it very much. Although I've played toribash for ages, replay making something I never really did until now so that's where some noob ideas drop into my replay making, I'm basically testing everything out and slowly learning a few general intuition moves along the way. As you pointed out with a few replays (your boom and kicks) things like that may slip my mind sometimes as I still lack a bit of intuition within replay making and mostly go for the obvious strikes.

The jerky stiffness most likely comes from my lack of ability to freely control my own flow and momentum yet, my biggest hope is to get this down and understand core movements and how to use a greater series of joints to produce excellent momentum and such. It will take a long time, but I'm patient enough to know that I'll catch onto things within time.

One thing I'd like to stop doing is grab DMs because they always seem too cheeky and a bit noobish since it DMs things quite easily. But like I mentioned above, I still lack the control I need in the momentum for punches and strikes. I also work better with torso and arm use than I do with my legs as you can see I barely focus any replays on major kicks.

Thanks for the great feedback
