I'm not sure what your other style was.

I like the feeling of force. You did a good job conveying it with few frames. I don't like the short cut for running, but it isn't horrible here. You have between frames, at least.

I think it would benefit greatly by redrawing frames of the slowmo backflip. Rather than having the figure static and spinning, have his back arch and his arms and legs preload for the kick.

EDIT: Rewatched it. You had the arms and legs move, but the head and back didn't. I think it would feel much more forceful if the hips and back moved violently so that the figure had to crunch to avoid smacking its head against the floor.

pretty much what OGrilla said, but , another thing i found lacking was that, the kick was a bit unclear due to the lack of a bit of frames in between. It seemed as if , the block moved without being kicked. A bit more frames emphasizing the connection between leg and block will do the job.

I'm honestly not sure I agree with that. I think the power of the kick comes from the swift transition without inbetweens.
