Thank you very much.
I will be back.
You've very welcome. Thanks for applying and I look forward to your rearrival.
Here we go,
Larfen: Well, the madman had a decent opening move but the action was mostly over after 140 frames. Also, I seem to recognise that opener as being one used publicly, try experimenting with custom openers for single player. It looked just like you were lining up a kick for the decap as well before changing it into a little punch shuffle. If you find that one move works better, editing the replay from a bit earlier and changing your joint movements can line up better shots and make it look more like you know what you're doing. Onto the split, you looked like you were struggling to get off the ground with the higher gravity. Also, it was quite symmetrical, as you pointed out, which does mark it down a bit for me. A few awkward moves afterwards, a few good moves, it was ok going into the pose. The tripod pose you used did look quite stiff, as did a few other moments of your replay although you did flow into it a certain amount. The decap was a pretty generic one, I've seen this sort of move hundreds of times now. Coming up with something completely original can boost a replay from mediocre to spectacular. Keep that in mind. I'm afraid it'll have to be a no right now, some things you could work on are the smoothness in your replays and perhaps a bit more time spent in editing.
Zlox: Good lord, that was one heck of a long grab, 450 frames :o Half of the dismemberments were due to the grabby hand being contracted/extended so that took away from the style in my mind. Also, there was little usage of momentum, which could be improved. Another thing I noticed, several of the hits in the replay seemed to have no purpose (no dismemberment, no manipulation, etc) so editing (if used already) could be improved on. Finishing the replay in a pose would've helped as well. Not bad on the dismemberment count but I'm afraid the style wasn't really there. As for the split replay, although this type of opener is pretty overused, the kick wasn't too bad. A bit stiff maybe but hey, it was ok. Apart from that split, your dismemberments seem to need grab most of the time to be achieved so that could do with a bit of work. I would've preferred if the decap replay was made in classic but I'll mark it anyway. Opener looked pretty good and the decap wasn't too bad at all. It looked more advanced compared to your other replays. Kept moving after the decap which is good. Nearly managed a pose but fell over unfortunately. A bit of editing could've changed that, mind. I'll have to go with the same as Larfen and say no right now. It wasn't too bad but I felt it wasn't up to the necessary level for entry. Some improvisation on openers and a bit more editing could help improve.
Finally,
exbattle: I'm going to talk with some of the other recruiters so no more replays will be needed. Sorry this is taking so long, I'm just a bit unsure as to my decision. I hope you understand.
Commiserations Larfen and Zlox, better luck next time.
