You need to work on your spacing a lot. I get the sense that you just don't know how to balance between the flow and easing appropriately. Lots of times you bring something to a complete stop when some sense of momentum needs to keep flowing through. Sometimes you don't show slower spacing when it would be more appropriate. Things slow down and speed up very suddenly in areas.
I also noticed that your spacing isn't consistent in areas. In the Floor animation when the stick-figure gets up from the landing, there's one frame where there's a massive difference in the spacing, then in the next it is a lot smaller. Make sure you check through the frames that the spacing is consistent or it will make the animation appear choppy and/or shaky.
This move up was too sudden and pre-mature. I can see why people would think you're Intermediate, but you haven't demonstrated that you know how to space effectively. You've only demonstrated that you can animate acrobatics at this point, and even with that I feel like you need to practice your landings a lot.
I'm sorry this comment is so harsh. I think you're a good animator, but that you still need to iron out the kinks in your spacing and try branching out a little from acrobatics. I think you're going to have a hard time as an Intermediate when your knowledge is still small and can only animate certain things. That said, I still really like your animations and think the newest is nice (it showed a good landing) but I don't agree with your move up is all.
