Still, it's hard to believe that, with all of these judges saying how much style means to them, kaku can still win with a headspin competition while Do Knock was actually dancing.
now thats sportmanship from do knock. the audience were BOOing kaku off, and he calmed em down, and hailed the winner. Now thats hip-hop.True bboying spirit!
But you can see the different emphasises on what is considered breakdancing by whoever these bboys learned from. Kaku would do a headspin(power move) and Do Knock would answer with some of the sickest dancing and uprock in BC One 06, and Kaku would answer that set with another headspin. This is the reason Lilou, Hong 10, and especially Ronnie win; they are outstanding at both.
Do-Knock's sets were unfinished, sloppy and were very short. Kaku showed many different feats and he always completed his sets. Kaku listened to the music greater as well (i have seen the orig music) and that is why Kaku won!
There is an electro funk song called Where's the beat by Galaxxy. I can't download it anywhere, thought it may be a possibility. If anyone has this mp3 or know's different let me know. Thanks.
In comps like this the judges see if you can be fresh and pull out things they didn't see you do in any of the previous battles. So he was most likely just conserving his best moves for later to raise his chances of winning/
anybody who says Kaku has no style is a hater i mean just because he is doing power doesn´t mean he has no style...he has good energetic toprocks and has his own headspin variation (spinning on the back of his head) his transitions are really difficult and unique and he ends his sets with freezes on beat...so i dont see why he has no style... dont get me wrong i like Do Knock´s style very much he is a crazy dancer and a good allrounder but u have to show it or you lose
Every powermover has a base power. If you wanna complain about kaku's repetition look at the end, or cico. AIRFLARE every set, that's their base. Do-knock was full of himself, cut his sets short 'cause he "knew" he was gonna win. judges were right on this one.
I'm surprised kaku won... Usually I hate it when judges always go for style in a power vs. style battle, but do-knock actually had some pretty snazzy moves. Though Kaku did do some nice variations.
This was a lot closer than most people give it credit for; Do-Knock's sets don't flow really well, and Kaku is more versatile than people are giving him credit for.
Do Knock has more style and versatility. He has some nasty footwork, but he didn't use any of it. This was essentially a battle of power vs. tricks. But if do-knock used his footwork, it would become a battle of power vs. style, and we all know that good style beats good power any day
Woulda been interesting to see a Hong 10 vs. Do Knock battle. I do feel as though Do Knock shoulda taken this... Kaku's headspins, windmills, and 2000s are dope anyone can agree, but what caused him the loss with Hong 10 was his lack of variation and footwork. Good battle though...
i actually like that do-knock won although i've got so much more respect for style... do-knock's sets were highly impressive though and even though he won, he wouldn't have lasted the whole competition anywayz... he just went all out... much respect to both bboys
In our hearts, do knock won because he was more entertaining and everybody allready knew Kaku wouldnt bring something else then headspinning. but i think that do knock didnt go on mainly because he messed up his last set. but still.. do knock is still a real good example for how to battle (explosive, variant, crowd pleasing and enjoying himself) not many people do that these days (like; ow, ok you ended your turn? ok let me slowly start my turn and then i'll.. NO!! Just do the damn thing!)
i agree about that too, kaku's really repetitive..he always do the headspin to 2000's set,even do knock can predict what kaku wants to do when kaku do his 1st set,you can know that when you see do knock's reaction,he rose up his hands and showed the 2000's move from 0.30 till 0.33~
all right... for sure do-knock is one of the most unique bboys up in bboying so dont go underestimating him. I've seen him rock vegas shakedowns from the start and you can see he was holding back here check out 2:20... one of his sickest sets
Kaku ain't Headspin-Headspin-Headspin. He's Headspin-Headspin-Headspin and then 14 spins with a 2000. Watch Kaku & Ryoma against Lilou and Brahim, in his first set... It's pretty amazing, even if he doesn't try anything else.
as far as difficulty goes,kaku took it.but repetitiveness with little variation in his freezes took away from that.do knock on the other hand had musicality,originality,and each set differentiated from the last.however the crash he had on the last set probably cost him.but i still woulda gave it to him.
Honestly, this was kinda hard to watch. Kaku did a bunch of headspins with a couple power moves added and Do Knock doing top rock, a lot of flips, and some downrock. Props though.
Y'all are just saying that Do-Knock won because you were getting tired of Kaku's headspins. But Kaku was soo much better on soo many levels. Damn E-Boys.
@KimGeestatus we're not even talking about being able to do head spins better than kaku, we are saying that he shouldn't have won and do knock should have moved onto the next round, the only move that kaku did in reality were headspins but do knock owned kaku with footwork and style, so dont comment if you dont know what you're commenting about
ye i do agree there he did something different on his sets where as kaku didnt but kaku specialises in head spinning and they were different in every round but he used too much on do knock and was repeating against hong 10
do-knock is misunderstood.everyone thinks the order should be toprock,groundrock,power move freeze.do knock doesn't view it as a get ready move.he views it as just an important part of bboyin.
uhhh, you know that the music in this vid isn't the actual music they were dancing to right? they dub over dif songs because they can't get the usage rights to all the songs to use in the dvd.
