You should make an tutorial for advanced players since there is many things wrong with this one, I assume thats because its only the basics.

but i already execute(d) these moves on experienced players, with replays refferences, what am i doing wrong?

Well I remember your moves failing against me, and this was in a mod that was specifically made to benefit your play style.

I am not going to point out the major flaws with these videos and the practicality of these moves but just using video four as an example, almost every thing the opponent does benefits you. I know the replays are just for show.

The largest part in a lot of these techniques are that they involve contracting and lowering elbows whilst try to manipulate your opponent, this would end up as a disaster for you if your opponent new what he was doing, as you said to keep hands grabed, your opponent could un-grab, this would mean YOU are grabbing his hands and his hands are free to grab another part of you, He would just need to change to grab when you are lowering and contracting your elbow for him to destroy you. Him grabbing at this time would result in you grabing his hand and him grabing your shoulder, this would cause a mas fracture fest all down your arm and you would not longer have any controll.

At 0:52 in video 3 if your opponent grabbed and raised shoulders you would lose as to what I said above. This is a common flaw in most of your moves.

There is so many more problems with these, just playing a few games against me and I can show you many of them.

Don't lie about the score, if you are so confident why not come in game and prove it. The score was like 12-4 to me, but I was also vs Holo so maybe that explains it lol.

Also a bit funny that you can't seem to accept the flaws in your ways.
It's funny because when we look back at this game, we will see replays of snake and Fistoflife. One playing with style and cool looking replays, the other looking like he is a piece of wood. There is a difference between playing for fun/fairness and playing to win. ;)

Nice vids, still waiting on the 5th tho ;o

Edit: it makes me cringe when Fistoflife talks about skill >.< rofl
Snake, if you want, can you send me a download link with the 5th part of the tutorial?

When i want to play for style I play spar, that is what its there for, no point in playing aikido and losing then claiming "Ye but i looked cool"
i just can't take it seriously anymore, arguing for the sake of arguing, and no the score is correct, even though you was calculating everything even worse than our accounter

There isn't much correlation between winning and being skillful sadly. In case you didn't know, many players make great replays while also winning (see: nuthug).
My view on this:
In aikido (Normal), just playing just to win is easy. You push your opponent of out the ring, you lift your opponent and you win.
Making a match look nice is more challenging and requires more skill. If you lose in aikido you dont have to claim anything. It's simple: You lost, next time better.
This is more about sportsmanship than pure competition.
