[Realism] TaeKwonDo 540 kick replay contest.
This is a realism-based replay competition.

Goal: you will make a replay reproducing the 540 kick, carefully following the movements of the martial artists u can see in the video.

Rules:
-No hacking.
-No editing other ppl's entries.
-No more than 2 replays per person.
-No mods, but you can set the value of gravity at will.
-No more than 1000 frames per replay.
-Dt 100 or higher.
-You can switch your replays how many times you want before the ending of the competition.
-You can't set a negative engage distance.
-The kick must lead to a contact with uke's head.

Judging: I will judge your replays.

Evaluation criteria: Precision and accuracy, Impact (The hit causes a dm or not? Is it clean? ect.)
Madmanning uke after the impact will not give u extra points, a pose will.



Best Replay, for posterity.

Scheme of the move:
1) Starter: face the target -> 180 spin without jumping, giving the back to the target.
2) Air time: jump -> full 360 spin
3) Impact: heel hit.
4) Air time: 180 spin while falling
5) Landing facing the target.

That's a total of 720°, with 540° air time. Hope this helps.

Deadline: 13-1-2009

Prices:
20k for the best replay.
10k for 2nd place.
That's all i have and all i can give. If you think, like me, that this is a miserable price for such a great competiton[:P], feel free to donate some tcs, your names will be forever imprinted in the credits of this comp as Wonderful Donors.

I discarded all the replays where tori floats in the air for a very long time after the hit, that's unreal, the landing was a part of the move. Then i discarded the replays where the trajectory of the kick at the moment of the impact is completely different from the real one (completely straight/non-heel kicks). Then i choose the top 3 replays from the ones who remained, basing my choice upon some important features, explained below.


1st Place: Engraze - 540 kick 1
He scored more point than everyone else on the impact moment even if he didn't get a decap. Stop the replay at frame 807, watch his pose, watch the trail. He made a perfect heel hit from the side keeping his leg extended till the moment of the impact. He didn't make the last 180 spin after the hit, but a very few ppl did it, and only 1 did it correctly

2nd Place: NutHug - 540 2
That's the only replay with a correct starter. He's the only one who did the 180 spin on the ground, giving his back to uke, before jumping. This replay has however a consistent malus: your balance atm of the hit is messed up..a lot..lack of momentum, as u said when u posted it. It appears that you take the energy for the hit from the only movement of the leg instead of using the spin, dunno if i'm clear enough.

3rd Place: Rutzor - 540 now in good
That's the only replay where tori completes the rotation correctly( only180 after the hit) and lands in front of uke, facing him. Other replays continued the rotation after the hit, but they made more than one spin, which is totally unreal. This replay has a big malus too: the hit is a non-heel one, you contracted your knee and extended it again to hit uke, while it should have been the opposite, that was an important feature of the move.


Notes
- To be honest, even Oracle's tkdkick2 completed correcly the spin, but he touched the ground before the impact, that changed the whole nature of the move.

-Oracle's 540tkdkick is a 1080 spin kick, with a 360 starter and 720° air time. Impressive.

-The edit that Nuthug made of extremerun's opener would have won everything if it was valid, that's a perfect 540 kick. Watch it.

-I'm attaching the replays i talked about, so u don't have to serach them in the thread. I hope u had fun. I'd like to have some feedbacks, since it's my first comp, even on the judging: if u disagree with my choices and want to tell/ask me something, feel free to.

-Edit: I just noticed that my comp is on the hawt_events header, may i ask why? I mean, it's over.

Yes, i would have liked to keep 1 leg extended while spinning, but it just caused a huge lack of momentum and i couldn't get the decap, so i kept the knees contracted.

Btw, toriboomer, i fear that our conversation must end, this thread is becoming our personal chat
unless someone else wants to show his own kick, we may let this die.

ps: if anyone wants to comment my kick pls do it on my thread, u know, i like to keep it alive.
