Ruen vs MN Joe | BC ONE NORTH AMERICA | Strife.tv | Top 16 | 2012 

best battle of the night

both killed it

this one was hard for the judges... I was rooting for ruen

MN JOE---FANTASTIC!!!!

Dope battle! Thank you Strife TV! For me Ruen!

Thats was sick battle! Ruen still got the juice and power.. MNjoe took it tho.. crazy clean stuff .. but If Ruen was a lil bit more about dance ..He would own this.. The legends never die !!!! So ogreat battle

MN Joe he has his own style! , One of the best power moves for me.

Mn joe well deserved win!

mn joe improved alot. he also beat bebo.. imo

Dope battle!

Sickest power battle I've seen in a bit. Durn always does it mad respect to LA. His third round was off due to MNJoes power set but all in all Ruin took it. That is all.

MN Joe was more well-rounded in his sets. Had a good balance of power and style.

skeme richards is playing dj tee's beats, which are mostly drum heavy like this. he did play just begun in the final though

I know he never did but it was rare to see him battle

i swear MN joe has some sorta super power where his glasses just dont fall off....

DAMN!!! Dope battle all around!

I remember ruen doing air flares as a pioneer to the move.. long before people used a "air flare machine"... i met him in downtown pomona with friends when he was 13 he had that move easy and several on command.... like circa 1995 lol.. or maybe 97.. been long time..

Hahahaha MN Joe reading Ruen's move at 0:46 , nice battle tactic

MN Joe's hair . I want it . lol

fair fight I agree with the judges, it's 2:1, it's more about dance than gymnastic

Damn MN Joe was loking crisp as fuck. Killed it.

Wow great clean battle! People saying style beating power... Maybe true at times but I think Ruen had some style with his power here...MN Joe was dope AF here... But I felt Ruen held it well against him here... Guess it could've gone either way both are fkn awesome!... Think Ruen would've won the favor if it were an exhibition match anyways cool video... Peace!!

No. Not the case. DJ was Skeme Richards; he was playing his own breaks. Red Bull did that in the past but not anymore. They didn't dub over during the live play through and they're not going to dub it on their site. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't hire a world class DJ like Skeme Richards and bar him from playing his taste in breaks. That just makes no sense.

check the musicality.

But the first Break is by Dj Tee.

@rubix0110 Songs are both by DJ Tee. First is Funk 38 and the second is Troopers (Part 1).

Damn it why did i click show more in the description. I just spoiled the entire battle for myself. Lol

DOPE

you need more than power to win battles

All night, Ronnie went for more complex and intricate bboys, Float voted for amplitude, and Machine was the decider. It felt like the Supreme Court or something, haha. No disrespect though, all major bboys who know what's up. I celebrate subjectivity.

@ yang- but you should also need more than yoga to win as well. If they keep penalizing power moves then where will this sport expand and evolve?

Style moves beat Power moves anytime

good battle but for me i thought ruen took it... i back that by thinking of it in terms of flow vs quite a bit of stopping/choreo witch led to some delays in MN's flow... but good overall anyway

yea i dont think alot of ppl noticed that

MN Joe yeah

mn joe...best style

can someone please tell me what pants MN JOE is wearing? damn, id want to break' in a pair of those. dope style

you can hear someone booing MN Joe... man where da respect at?

MN JOE!

MN Joe lookin' fly in the beginning

looks like all pink air maxes. not sure if they're air max 1s or air max 90s, maybe they're air max 90s.

them triple tombstones from joe holy shit

If I remember correctly, mn Joes previous bboy name was jet, because of his similar appearance to jetli lol ^-^

man legendary Ruen out by MN Joe in the first round...

What's the name of the first beat?

Anybody got the track names?

I like Mn Joe but I kinda felt Ruen took the round 1 and 2. Dope battle either way, just Mn Joe didn't seem to have the energy he normally battles with.

WHAT ARE RUEN'S SHOES?

Whats the second song?!?!? Please

first one is dj tee funk 38

now that you mention it, yeah i notice the "tap" guy LOL

Look up Ruen and freestyle session6!!!!!!!! The king of stylish air flairs

Ruen should've been given the win. I judge based ok skill level not on how well someone can six step

What's the second song?

RUEN!!!!

both bboys were dope but mn joe took that. Any bboy can learn power, but its hard to develop an original and dope style like joe

Jet Li vs Ruen !

RUEN!!!!!!!!!!GAME B-BOY!!!!

MN JOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For me Ruen!

Lotus the name of it

Oh sorry it isnt lotus

it is not magic, it is super glue:-D

like mn joe

how does MN Joe do it will glasses!?

ruen. he came out blastin..........new shit..............2nd round that other guy was rambling and gettin lost............idk good one tho.

que bueno eresss coñooo MNJOEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Ronnie Ruen back in the game!! MN Joe killed him tho =P

Mn joe was a little bit more clean with nis moves... Ruen fail a couple of moves.... It was a dope battle!!!! Prop for both!!!

I like MN Joe's style!! He needs some cleaning up, but he's sick

2 to 3 with 1 round being a tie.. And the winner mn

2:28"ah,i see what you did there"

WONG FEI HUNG!?!?!?

MN Joe looks like he's running sets....

0:40 lol always hapens to me when i want to do 1.5 elbow airflare in a battle it fucking sucks

2:20

wait u talking about machine! that like calling nas wack

Ronnie was hella pissed wit thd judges (x MN Joe should've won this battle.

Nike Vs. Adidas ! Adidas Win !!

MN JOE looking like Jet li !

i've only watched three of these(red bull bc one usa not bboy battles) battles so far and im wondering why the dj is dropping such simple beats i get that they are breaks but they are so soulless and empty nothing to vibe and just feel to like for instance both ruen and mn joe are ripping it but they aint fully expressing y'know like i dont care what kinda breaks from chill beats to hype beats to stuff we all now like blow your whistle or beats to the rhyme or whatever but these breaks are dry

huang fei hong :)

MN Joe won.

éé´mixaa vc copioo o baguio do rueenn to veno mmsmo

for a moment i thought mn joe was gonna get robbed but the judges did good !

They should have disqualified ruen for wearing those shoes.

Not of a colored: Happy that it is about that. A-squad

Ruen smashed him! Joe 2nd go out was whatever and his 3rd go out was a weaker sloppier version of first go out. u kids talking about originality must be young. Ruen is revolutionary in power flow game period

BULL SHIT!!! RUEN WON

What's the first song?
