Damn this was a great battle. Pretty tough decision for the judges, but I think Issei had the upper hand on this one. He's a sick battle bboy, noticing little details like when C-lil motioned that he did that more than once ( 2:37 ). And Issei responded back basically motioning that hes been doing airflares a couple times too.. Little stuff like that catches my attention.
you know something, when issei look tired in final and you can't defeat him with use you best move/sets, hmm, i think issei really really better than c-lil
Issei is one of the most famous bboys at this moment.. He is a young bboy from Japan, Foundnation crew! He has won R16 world finals 3x in a row, IBE seven2smoke winners edition 2013 and has been invited to many big events! Just letting you know :)
Koh Yamada Yeah, I saw that he was ranked number 1 on the list - and I saw that he won the R16 finals 3 times IN A ROW WHICH IS AWESOME, but he looks like a non-inspired bboy to me. He looks like he perfected his skill, but he's not creating anything.
Yeh, tbh he doesn't have many original moves but he is still 18 or 19 and he still has far to go, I'm waiting for these young Japanese young guns in the future!
Holy shit, more style? For real? Okay, was mindblown when I first saw Issei and heard how young he was.. (14 or something), but I've never enjoyed watching him that much, but ummm. More style? Yeah, sorry, can't agree with you on that one. Both of these guys are monsters, without question, but C-Lil more style? Yeah, you're off your tree, sorry to say.. Not a huge fan of Issei's style, but he works the music, and the amount of variation he's got going on is... pretty mind blowing. Everything C-lil did (whilst being FUCKING AMAZING) has been done before, except possibly the one handed blind airflares.. (unbelievable), but that's just a mild variation on an old classic. But hey, maybe he'd never seen someone doing blind airflares.. WHATEVER! I talk too much, but I just disagree is all. For the record 2:25 from Issei, windmill into one a half headspin (or whatever you'd call it) to one handed halo... !!!! Hey, may've been done before, but I ain't seen it.. Shit was crazy. .. Again though, just a kinda mild variation.. Hard work to be massively innovative in bboying these days (without just looking like a complete wanker).. Enough said.. Saying lots without saying much.. I apologise.. peace and love.
This is Issei's win. To people saying C Lil took this you are wrong and only wants to see power moves. Break Dancing is not only power moves you should show the judges that you can dance other styles speciality top and floor rock and show your foot work and musicality with your normal style.
issei just do all the fcking time the same stuff, since years ago he do the fcking same stuff: Maybe with kinda new variations sometimes, but its boring cause its still not a big different to see. C-Lil was 100times better @this battle, and he is in category Powermoves better then Issei in my opinion. The point is that the jugdes are more footworker(maybe sometimes little powermoves for combinations), they dont know the really lvl of (for instance:)mastering a (real)one handed airflare etc. That's why battles like this need Judges like Kill, Amok, The End, Boby, Pocket etc. In our generation the best and creativest powermovers :) (and btw, sry for my english, i'm not that well in eng, hope you guys can anway understand what i mean :D)
Funny to read your comment amigo! But that's Consistency on a high level...: To represent all those years and do the same thing (like you say) but still beat many peeps in battle, is a powerful skill to be recognized! Ask your list of Judges of "your generation" who influenced them and made them to what they are now (for you and your generation to understand what to respect and not only to be blown away by a blow-up).... Also keep in mind that if you can't convince the once who slayed before you: work harder! 'Cause today it's way to easy to be popular for a single move instead of a true legend dropping consistency on a high level any can't reach!
Jason Rene Jeandor its like kill, everbody know his main moves, but issei is not doing hard stuff, his spinning alot @hes head around, ofc he use much power and much controll but at least hes not a dope powermover and he beat many people, yes but watch the battle ( you will know this battle ) pocket vs issei. there was no chance for issei ( okay there are few powermover that could beat pocket ) but i think you dont get what i mean and i cant write it how i mean it cause my english isnt that good. I like issei but he isnt that interesting anymore
Strawhat Luffy I understand what you mean. But look it from another side: After all this time Issei doesn't need to do other moves to stay relevant and win. If C-lil practices his toprock and footwork to match it with his insane power moves, then he will be more complete and also on a whole other level then Issei. Now it is just a preference thing: Do you go for Powermoves only or for a more total package showing musicality?!. And to me Powermoves should be a PART of the dance, not take OVER the dance.. Or we all can join the Circus. ;) But if this was a competition to see who has the better moves, Than I would go for C-lil too. As for Kill and Pocket! Imagine them doing sick top rocks, footwork and come up with style next to their insane power moves. That's the level we all need to strive for. Not just on one single aspect of Bboying. That's the point I'm trying to make here! Peace and have a good practice!
