@JinKazama92 I think Cris Carter of the Minnesota Vikings said it best when at the end of his career an opposing "young" player came up to him and started calling him "old man this" and "old man that". Cris' response was simply, "You pray you'll be doing this at 40" or something to that affect.
@iIife I've never seen Lilou crash "excessively" and I've never seen Lilou totally disrespect anyone. I personally love his attitude. That's straight raw bboy attitude, which many people confuse for disrespect. From the battles I've seen, I've never seen him not shake his opponents hand after the battle was over.
Maybe alien ness is old but i think that we should have some respect for him due to that he is a legend and he still keeps it real! BTW . I know that battle is a battle but it's only my opinion in this case
Hahahaha, c etait trop marrant... Lilou a le don pour rendre la foule hysterique! Ca a egalement vraiment bien rendu quand ils ont passé le teaser de l IBE juste avant le dernier battle. respect. peace.
okay i understand people went bananas because Lilou called out the legenary Alieness... but yoo... did no one else notice that that was a one handed set!!! damn
Lol he did kill Alienness, no matter how anyone looks at it. That was an obvious smoke. Pretty sure plenty of the people in the crowd thought so. People, its a battle, disrespect? Who cares, its a BATTLE. Respect is for after. Lilou did what needed to be done, and I'm happy someone finally did it to Ness.
@Qobe5 I respect everybody's opinion. I'm lilou's friend as well, and now i'm supossed to say: You dont have to hate him becauese so and so, but no, i respect he doesnt like you, but even without liking what he does one must realize that some of his combos are not that easy anyways. And i'm sure every young bboy is now trainig to become better like i do of course, and that's our goal
Quite simple to understand why people get excited when Lilou enters doing that old man movement, just because Lilou is stomping Alien ness in his own arena, he's one of the father's of this dance, a legend, and Lilou doesnt care to send him to the graveyard since Ness is now not capable of doing all he used to, and fine, if Lilou's set is so simple, upload your videos doing thread back and front flips please, i'd like to see y'all
what do you talking about this is a battle in a battle you must fight after the battle you can show him the respect and lilou is a good b-boy and a nice guy
@iverson59 exactly, thank you for your post..for all that missed out..get ya ass to IBE next year. really I personally can't think of an event at least in europe that's more profound for the scene than this one
Ahhh I'm not a big fan of either two but to say that Lilou killed Ness is an overstatement... So what he did a flip, a thread and 3 airchairs, no bboy flavor. If you're gonna say someone killed a legend of the game at least know that it takes some bboyin'... That means beat them at their own game and with your original flavor. Mocking his tops doesn't count as bboyin...
whatever they're my opinions and lilou is your opinion and there are people out there who think what i think too and people out there who think how you think as well
@BboyBasicx Of course Ness is still sick, but you're not going to stay the best when age catches up to you. I was also confused as to why Ness was not with The Legends, but the teams were decided from which years the bboys started participating in IBE, not by skill. The Legends: 2001-2003 Notorious Ones: 2004-2005 Present Players: 2008-2009
@EnigmaticElement yeah. but hear this my dad is sports scientist and he's kinda expert with athletes.. and he said most asthmatics are genuinely athletic.
obviously AlienNess was a real BBoy Legend and a real champion in his day by the way Lilou headed for the status kill of who he is..Its like Killing Crazy legs or Ken Swift in their prime!! Respect to Ness for representing a dance that he loves...its called Passion...
@CJoMin In reply to this, I agree with CjoMin. It would be a nice battle, Taisuke's so advanced at this point that a win wouldn't be impossible, but it's a hard match to guess. Lilou has accomplished much, and as seen here, he's still got it.
@airbreezy have you seen the video where lilou walks into bboy pop while pop's doing flares ? or when lilou grabs noodle's hat and throws it at him ? OORR when lilou kicked omar in the face ? LOL
These comments are lame.. for all your information, Ness actually found that funny (he replied on bbw) so I don't understand how all these peeps can get upset about it haha.
two ways of looking at this, but either way definately a significant statement of our times, some comments below say it all, it seems we 'officially' couldn't give a shit for our elders/heritage, the wider feeling is confirmed by the crowds reaction, kinda sad but understandable, dont get me wrong a battles a battle but ykno.. those little 'ettiquettes' kinda seperated us from the animals, but ulitmately animals we are, keep it real or keep it righteous?
@yogurtandjam yeah that is true. even if he's your leader/ a legend of any sort, youre still his opposition. people these days either dont understand what real disrespet in bboying is, or think that because youre battling someone legendary or famous you respect them. its a competition for a reason.
some ppl dont understand bboyin....on the floor u come hard and 4 the kill...but when the battle is over its over...theres no disrespect....ppl hatting on ness or lilou for no reason only coz the r ignorant about the truth of bboyin ..u can battle ur brother and kill em in but he is still ur brother....plz ppl read about how breaking started.. props 4 all bboys n girls...and here 4 liluo and ness .
Okay... So ive been reading through comments in a lot of bboy vids... N ive noticed people sayin stuff like,"i dont like taisuke, he arrogant" or "lilou doesnt show any respect hes arrogant in battles".... Well they seem like that in battles because YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT IN BATTLES... But after the battle they shake hands to show some respect..... so they arent really arrogant.. Its just a battle thing
@SkullFaceNinja a flip, a thread, 3 airchairs, and no bboy flavour? This set is way more than that. how bout just the fact the whole set is threaded from the moment his feet leave the ground going nto the gainer.. and its all done on 1 foot. Other than the little bit of style lilou took from his inspiration to bboying = bboy benji (who you probably don't even know) the man has nothing but original flavor, this is not an opinion either, its a fact. Ur comment is just ignorant.
Lilou was known for his insane footwork style back in the day and his toronto style threads,his round here was just him out to diss,not really to break
@MrSpoonman12 never said you have to be aggressive or bag on anyone in a battle. lol. i said what lilou did to alienness was a part of bboying and battles. some people like hong 10 are humble to their opponenets, others like to show no weakness and show more attitutde. its all a part of the battle, and its a matter of preference.
Bien sur que Lilou défonce alienness et peu importe si on l'aime bien ou pas! Tu regardes la réaction de The end, marcio, Bruce lee et même celle d'alienness et celle du public, tu sais que lilou a mis le feu! C'est un des meilleurs moments que j'ai pu voir dans un battle
