Became a big fan of Steezy when he came on excursion to the US a couple years ago. Him and Ali were dangerous when they teamed up. Hope they get to again one day…
I said it in another video but I have to say it again Though I love this new style from Steezyskee, I hope he won't be transitioning too soon into "the elder Born" of the MZK-era who sacrificed the dynamism from this younger days for a heavy emphasis on rocking and "intellectual" symbolism he took up while in Bronx. What I love about SS style has always been that intricate balance between the youthful spirit and the traditional breaking artristry of which I'm a fan (burns, foundation, forms and musicality). If he gravitates too heavily towards either side while neglecting the other, that balance will be disturbed, and we will get either another souless powerhead or a slow and rambling rocker caught up in his imaginary weapons wielding in a breaking battle.
Yeah, I worry about the same thing with Bboy Krow. Right now, he has this amazing balance between freestyle and unique style, but with the influence of MZK so strong, I wonder if he might lose that soon.
Hiro crashed his last set, coulda won, but wow Steezy skee almost won the whole jam without taking off his jacket, he had to take it off to pull off them airflares, woulda been super crazy if he kept it on
Hiro10 is so creative and powerful. The only thing that stopped him in this final was that he kept hitting the freezes and toprock poses in the wrong places sometimes just slightly after the clap. SS on the other hand knew exactly where to put everything and that was why he won.
@@AsiaDanceScene Matt thanks for heads up I came @FEworks as thought it was there content. Is this your channel as well ? I follow these guys but look more to you for Japan content. It’s cold out here in pastie land bro . But they keeping us warm. Big up my Brotha 🙏
Dope battle...I can see why Steezyskee took it. On the other hand, I prefered Hiro10's content if not his execution. Steezyskee has nice flow and flavour, but his content is not particularly original. Hiro10 has more interesting content, harder combos and more creativity, he just needs ride the beats a bit more.
Hiro got some incredible moves and creative ideas no doubt about that..but the first 3 seconds of his toprock..he was already off beat. That shows the level of musicality of a bboy. Thank god the judges gave it to the right break-boy here.
Never would have thought to see bboy born style ever again but man steezy is as good and adding some power and freezes is going to make him an insane bboy. Def one of the most flavaful style in bboy. Steezy musicality and flava is insane. His first set was all style and i gave it a tie just because it was that good. To me it wouldve been a tie if hiro didnt crash. Both had such different styles. If steezy can add more different styles into his footwork like threads or crazy transitions then he would def be red bull ready.
Ofc Steezy was the mvp but I have to say Hiroto has some good style, he just doesn't show this side of his personality too often - a mistake I believe. See his toprocking for the last round
Yess absolutly steezky more dance burn and have own flava,,, most people forget how to break and focus to hard trick or some shit they forget about real cultrue bout breakin ✌✌🤪
The opposite is also true when a bboy focuses too much on posturing and leaves his footwork and freeze thread bare. What is so poisionous about this sort of stylishtic extremism compared to others is that it can still manage to get so much prestige from the uncritical OG and "real hiphop advocates". The result can be even more distratrous than when he forgets the foundation, which is that he would become a naked emperor with his esteem shot through the roof.
Steezy's got sick style and musicality, but he did nothing in this battle except repeat the same shuffle, pretzel and sweep as he did throughout the whole competition. Also, adding basic airfares into the set was extremely lacking when compared to Hiro. Not a fair decision.
how about hiro? how many "airflare" he does in this competition? 😂 and bro don't forget about originality in the bboy, burn, style, execution, storytelling on how you breaking. not just u see a unique powermove trick unique trick can beat this kind of bboy with full foundation and knowledge.
@@mody9526 Nonsense. Steezy had 0 variation in this battle. Having a crazy good style doesn't mean you can just do fuckall and still win regardless. There are still rules to win battles by. Surely, watching this with no context, then Steezy probably won it. However, when broken down, his rounds had nothing different than most of his sets up to this point, and busting out vanilla airflares against Hiro was an automatic loss in the 3rd round.
I disagree. I think your focusing too much on difficulty rather than the the general aspect of the different characteristics that create a solid or consistent round. Hiro had much more in his arsenal of moves and combos to execute but lacked piecing them together cohesively. Hiro was impressive without a doubt but also lacked musicality. SteezySkee was able to grasp all the elements of style/power/flow/creativity & most importantly musicality but rather executing not just his freezes but his toprock and footwork to the beat as well. So again Hiro was amazing with his power/tricks/combos, being on the highest level. But Steezy covered more ground at that same level of skill if not more. Emphasizing his movements and rounds. Hiro felt short & it was mainly the execution of his own craft on beat.
@@TheGuidernot until Hiro crashed his 3rd round which then made those clean ass vanilla air flares the winner. Hiro had a high chance of winning but he lacked musicality and that crash ruined his 3rd round. Steezy took this battle fair and square. The more advanced power moves get the more the breaking community denounces style & musicality. Ridiculous.
@@WaterDNine The most ridiculous reply I've read in a while, and then some. You're trying to overcomplicate it with a fancy word salad only to justify your bias towards the bboy that "reminds you of prime Born", when in reality he did nothing remotely close to what you described after several rounds. Claiming Hiro had no musicality and lack of "piecing" on his combos is either purposeful ignorance or just the inability to spot such things altogether. No point to even have a discussion with you regarding the matter if this is your view on bboying. Simply a disgrace.
