He literally copied a tutorial frame by frame, no need to wet your pants. It's been done hundreds of times by new animators.

Not bad though, you kept the figures at a consistent size throughout.

Try to lay back a bit on the almost 10 seconds of text/joking before the animation. It's only a test, there's not much need for an intro.
You should definitely upload more of your own combos here so it'd be easier for people to give you advice. Good luck with future practice :)

looks good to me
but at 0:12 the black stickman gaints momentum out of nowhere
try doing a jump like that in real life when your leg is fully extended ( like the stick)
if its not clear yet. what i mean is
he does a big jump from a fully extended leg which is impossible
try playing it on slow speed and you will see

maybe bend the knee alittle bit before the jump then extend it to get momentum

and at the end he loses a ton of momentum after the jump and goes to a full stop pose

One thing you need to learn is that, blindly copying poses from a tutorial will never help you. Unless you learn from them. You can redo those moves, sure. But if you want to improve, you need to know how each thing worked there so that you can animate much more movements that the one you have just learned. What you did now will allow you to animate that very specific move which isn't exactly a good thing, to be honest.

I see so I should practice with my own imagination rather than copy?

Actually it does.
It helps with stickman composition, combo creation, creating a style or mastering a tool.
Redoing the moves will teach you how they work. The only difference between copying and making your own is that you can concentrate on the technique instead of concentrating on what move you will make when you copy.
