marty Mcfly i was bboying when that was invented. it came out of france. but i read the RB def and it seems it was redefined in recent yrs along with some other new things.
blonde won clearly... take a look at the categories... he should have won battle and originality but he didn't,.. so the real result should have been 3-2 with blonde winner (and by the way i think foundation was a tie so maybe even 3-1) ROBBERY
damnnnn totally feel like blonde won on foundation, dynamics, originality, and battle. like chicken noodle said, he did get sloppy though. what a shame. blonde is so fresh!
lol just tell this to these judges: - Ronnie (USA) - Execution - Wing (Korea) - Originality - Icey Ice (USA) - Dynamics - Lamine (France) - Cypher Battle - Fever One (USA) - Foundation i think they know exactly what is good! in my opinion issei got soul and that's why he won
Both are really good. Blonde's pretty much a legend and most people would occasionally use that in favor of blonde, but overall Blonde took this match by a mile, maybe even two. Both were really on point. Issei does do a lot of halos, but he still kills it. This match I would really say should've went to Blonde.
issei first round for battle is 5...what did he do to get a 5 in battle attitude. is it just do a throw down and get back to your spot lol. Someone tell me how battle is being accounted for cuz my brain hurts. this whole system hurts my brain xD
One point is to be all-arounded, besides having a consistent foundation, wich was the primal issue we were discussing. A really good toprocker could score a perfect 5 showing solid toprock fundamentals, even though I doubt he could get a good score in the other categories or win the actual battle. I don't believe it to be the ultimate judging system, but it alouds to respect the foundation of each dancer's style.
Great battle, i really enjoyed it. Two of my favorite bboys and experience vs young talent is always fun to watch. So glad we have youtube now to watch all of these great battles.
If Blond wasn't acting like an idiot clowning around, trying to make fun of a 15 year old Issei he could have won. Instead he managed to make himself look like a fool.
Even tho personally I think Blond won, That doesn't downgrade Issei at all! The kid is a beast ! And he was only like 16 when this happened? Kid is bout to run the bboy scene with pocket ! ... Shit gets me Excited dam
Im From Brazil realmente racha muito foda , esperamos b.boy blond ainda colar em algum campeonato no brasil ia ser muito foda esse racha zoa muito e dança muito tbm Paz ... b.,boy Otaku
no. under this judging system, issei wins. blond can't get more than 1 vote no matter how strong his moves are. you can tell by his expression at the end he thought it was bs. in a real street battle, blond would've won. he was clearly stronger.
No need for name calling dude. Yes there are a handful of freezes in there, but they are used as transitions rather than actual freezes. Observant or not, the footwork from both is minimal.
before i see that score board i couldn't understand why blond lost. but now i understand. OUR system was right. guys, we only remember the afterimages of big scale therefore we can barley focus on every part of bboying. but judges on OUR system, they only concentrate on their part for judging they don't care for rest side so they can capture the details that we can't. if you think still blond got robbed, just imagine you're the judge for one of categories once and evaluate that battle again.
For Battle, Issei was facing Blond most of the time, ending his sets in front of Blond, and looking at Blond. They were pretty much equal for the rest of the criteria for Battle.
Foundation is confidence and musicality. Even then, those two categories are divided into sub-categories.. So there's more qualifications than you think. Yes, there are sometimes mistakes. Humans can only be so perfect...
I personally don't agree with you 100%. I still think musicallity is a BIG part of foundation and that too each has their own unique set of power. Although I do agree that there aren't many in R16 that do footwork, these bboys still deserve to be appreciated.
Why are people hating on powerheads? Bboying is bboying. It's all about your style or your way. Some people like being well rounded, while some enjoy straight up power or footwork, EVERYONE is different, so there's no "Better" bboy, just DIFFERENT bboys.
Benjamin Bernard Seng do u even know whho competed in this 1on1? morris mounir niek....guess u dont know issei nor blonde. both are 1on1 beasts even with powermoves. i mean issei won r16 straight 2 ttimes in a row lol
SilversRylai213 i know they competited as well. But why didnt they get through and someone like issei for example got through. I mean.. how does all rounders lose to powerheads?!
originality? benajmin understands my point, r16 looks like a powermove competition, no footwork, no originality, no musicality, if this were a competition like that differ, mounir or morris would be there (sry for my enligsh) but u know, judges decided
There is no wrong or right way to judge, nor is it wrong to assert one's opinion on who was better in the battle. Don't spread that hate, just let people view a set the way they want to and don't give them crap for it.
WHAAT ISSEI MADE IT TO THE FINAL AGAIN THIS YEAR?? DAYYUUUM THIS KID IS ON FIIIIIRE HE IS ON HIS WAY TO BECOME THE BEST HE IS ONLY WHAT 15-16 YEARS OLD AS WELL HOLY FOK
I agree with you that Blonde lack several things in this battle and people shouldn't really criticize the judges for their decision. But I completely disagree that you are discouraging people to post their opinion on who they think won this battle.
Normally I would agree with you. However, now that I think of it, we all have the right to submit our own opinions. They may not be as valid as those of the judges, but we are still allowed our own input. Who knows? Maybe the judges can learn from us. As long as we aren't pretentious in the thought we are correct and no one else is, we should be aloud to write what we want. Just be respectful, back up your opinions, don't put yourself above anyone, and know the limits of your knowledge.
Blonde Error 404 : footwork not found ! And JonattanD you're right, but in B-Boying you need all elements, not just focus on one like Blonde did in this battle...
Nice battle! If U sum up previous their sets U can see Issei was repeating, but if judge just this round without remembering previous rounds Issei was stronger. Both bboys deserve to be in the finals, just IMO Blond had bigger variation of moves. PeacE
Issei is a dope bboy, but every round he did some sort of halos followed by a sixstep, by his 2nd round you could already know what is coming next... Blonde won for me! But both dope bboys and a dope battle!
Powermove foundations are not breaking foundations. They are merely one part of the dance. Toprock, footwork, and freezes are equally important building blocks of breaking. I think the OUR system is a nice idea but it isn't as well-defined or adhered to as it's creators claim it to be. Judges still interpret the categories in their own ways so that, for example, this year you have a judge giving 4/5 for a power set whereas last year Born gave out 3's for almost everything. It's inconsistent
Blond was aggressive? HAHA! The dude was smiling throughout the whole battle and just having fun. I pray to god you don't ever face bboys like Casper in a cypher, you'll probably shit your pants the moment he looks at you.
why do people say this? its not as if judges talk to each other and say " guys lets give them a tiebreak" or talk with each other to make the votes equal. There are 3-5 separate judges for a reason.
Not dissing on Issei, I got respect for him, but Blonde is on a different level with experience and moves over Issei. Blonde's been in the scene for 12+ years so idk how issei called a bite lol. They shouldve gave issei 2's for his foundation and battle because Issei repeated a lot of his moves from round 1. Blonde was matching Issei's moves and executing without trouble at all to show that he can powermove in his sleep is what blonde was showing Issei.
I see them doing like 50+ freezes... do you not see the drops into spinning side chairs.. elbow freezes? freezes are all aroundddd like unicorns on a rainbow. bro.
If we're claiming that we can powermoves can have their own fundamentals that are equal to toprock/footwork/freeze fundamentals, that means that for example a really good toprocker could do an entire set of toprock with maybe one freeze or something in the middle and theoretically score equal points to Issei or Blonde here. This never happens though because the system is too vague, unbalanced, and applied incoherently
When i consider the whole competition i think Blond won. He had to take out Kareem and Morris who are 2 of the best bboys in the world, just to make it to final
execution, round 1: issei was a bit sloppy with his trans into footwork but blond couldn't even hold his last freeze. round 2: issei had no major mess ups but overall not perfect, 4 worthy while blond was also 4 worthy with a not so clean get up for his last move. round 3: issei was slipping up a bit here and there throughout the whole set, nothing serious. Blond had 2 moments where he could have been cleaner and it was obvious. The 2nd round was the deciding factor.
his battle tactics were stronger, he stayed looking at Blond, was near him the entire time, always ended his sets looking at him, and he froze towards him.
b-boy blond did slow-airflare at 2001 (when issei was 4year old kid) that's why blond was laughing when issei showed copy sign to him
+17teacmrocks you don't know what bite sign means? You should learn more about b-boying battle and history lol
marty Mcfly i was bboying when that was invented. it came out of france. but i read the RB def and it seems it was redefined in recent yrs along with some other new things.
Yeah right that was hilarious
IMO, Foundation- Blonde. Originality- Blonde. Dynamics- Issei. Execution- Blond Battle- Blonde
dude yeah i almost completely agree. i thought issei did better on execution though
Absolute fail when Issei called biting for Blonde's slow airflares loll Blonde was known for those
P
@@Jillian15 prime blond would smoke prime issei any day be fr
FYI, Issei admitted that he even thought he lost and was surprised with the results of R16 2013. Search R16 2014 interviews.
correction - search breakfast show day r16 issei
I think Issei won round 2, round 3 tie, but round 1 was 100% Blond. Messed up judges lmao
Round 2 is the slow motion airflare round which is clearly Blond in any possible way@@user-sr5kj6ej9z
Blond's laugh was pure evil lol
you are very weak if you think so. this laugh is normal reaction to people who embarasses themselves :D
Blond was just fucking with Issei LOL!
blonde won clearly... take a look at the categories... he should have won battle and originality but he didn't,.. so the real result should have been 3-2 with blonde winner (and by the way i think foundation was a tie so maybe even 3-1) ROBBERY
I lol' hard when Blonde was gesturing having a broom and sweeping Issei lol.
LOL right when Issei called bite on the slow airflares, i had a connection with blonde, we laughed at the same thing at the same time! Hahaha
Blonde was just having fun as usual
Blond should have taken it
Slow air-flare is Blond's original move he did it so long long ago. Early in 2000s. Issei is too young to know it. So he did the copy sign to Blond.
damnnnn
totally feel like blonde won on foundation, dynamics, originality, and battle. like chicken noodle said, he did get sloppy though. what a shame. blonde is so fresh!
First song ? And last ? :) good beats
I think the best part is when Blond laughs and questions Issei bite sign and is like "I was doing 2000s before you were born son" on 2:14
lol just tell this to these judges:
- Ronnie (USA) - Execution
- Wing (Korea) - Originality
- Icey Ice (USA) - Dynamics
- Lamine (France) - Cypher Battle
- Fever One (USA) - Foundation
i think they know exactly what is good!
in my opinion issei got soul and that's why he won
Both are really good. Blonde's pretty much a legend and most people would occasionally use that in favor of blonde, but overall Blonde took this match by a mile, maybe even two. Both were really on point. Issei does do a lot of halos, but he still kills it. This match I would really say should've went to Blonde.
Blond had better moves and Issei is kinda repetitive with the halos and mills. Blond only lost cause he got sloppy in his last rounds.
by the looks of it blond should of won :(
What the hell was with the judging system. Blond took that
They're using FATES!
Foundation
Artistry
Technicality
Execution
Strategy
***** thats right cant be one dimensional
***** I thought it was callled the OUR system
MrExpression1000 issei won perfectly
Blond always gets robbed and underrated
Blond got robbed!
Song ?
issei first round for battle is 5...what did he do to get a 5 in battle attitude. is it just do a throw down and get back to your spot lol. Someone tell me how battle is being accounted for cuz my brain hurts. this whole system hurts my brain xD

Musicality is also involved in Foundation. Issei's Musicality was really great.
Great battle, i really enjoyed it. Two of my favorite bboys and experience vs young talent is always fun to watch. So glad we have youtube now to watch all of these great battles.
Issei on another level guys, he took this one
Yeah he did. Props to both
Issei's legs when he does those windmills xD Awesome
How was blonde biting? I remember him doing that way back in the extreme crew days.
Respect to both, with all that said best final I've seen in 2013 by far good energy.
If Blond wasn't acting like an idiot clowning around, trying to make fun of a 15 year old Issei he could have won. Instead he managed to make himself look like a fool.
How does one do "more style"....?
Even tho personally I think Blond won, That doesn't downgrade Issei at all! The kid is a beast ! And he was only like 16 when this happened? Kid is bout to run the bboy scene with pocket ! ... Shit gets me Excited dam
Issei yes, pocket is getting too repetitive. Prada G, Issei, Kid Colombia, Lil Zoo, Tata & Vicious Vic, they will be at another level in 5 years
noacceptance20
tata and zoo are already on another level
just because issei is younger doesn't mean he beat blond
excited yet?
Did anyone know what's the song?

which one is issei?
WHO WON THAT
no. under this judging system, issei wins. blond can't get more than 1 vote no matter how strong his moves are. you can tell by his expression at the end he thought it was bs. in a real street battle, blond would've won. he was clearly stronger.
Word.. everyone is entitled to their own opinion which is cool and all but the judges are judges for a reason like you said
BLOND WIN - !
I love how Blonde is always laughing and smiling during his sets. Shows that he bboys as a passion, not a career. (:
No need for name calling dude. Yes there are a handful of freezes in there, but they are used as transitions rather than actual freezes. Observant or not, the footwork from both is minimal.
0:45 tons of props for that stance, damn!
I agree that the foundation judge was way off on a lot of these battles, I'd love to hear his/her reasoning.
before i see that score board i couldn't understand why blond lost. but now i understand. OUR system was right. guys, we only remember the afterimages of big scale therefore we can barley focus on every part of bboying. but judges on OUR system, they only concentrate on their part for judging they don't care for rest side so they can capture the details that we can't. if you think still blond got robbed, just imagine you're the judge for one of categories once and evaluate that battle again.
Soooooo footwork and freezes don't exist in b-boying anymore??
For Battle, Issei was facing Blond most of the time, ending his sets in front of Blond, and looking at Blond. They were pretty much equal for the rest of the criteria for Battle.
Foundation is confidence and musicality. Even then, those two categories are divided into sub-categories.. So there's more qualifications than you think. Yes, there are sometimes mistakes. Humans can only be so perfect...
elbow spin and traveling airfares can boost blond's battle, dynamics, execution and creativity...
Blode very good! Very good!
anyone know the second song after kill bill remix?
Footwork is a type of foundation.
Toprock is a type of foundation.
Power is a type of foundation.
I personally don't agree with you 100%. I still think musicallity is a BIG part of foundation and that too each has their own unique set of power. Although I do agree that there aren't many in R16 that do footwork, these bboys still deserve to be appreciated.

I just started the breakdancing and I really need to be judging already because I know all the footwork steps and the spins and bounces!
Man, I really wanna know the last song.

r16 is a powermove competition or what?

bboy blond still the best for me :D
Brainwashed.
Banyu lw no issei won
everybody could judge, but these ppl who's commenting are judging wrong. youre right. issei was better in this battle
IS IT A POWERMOVES BATTLE?
im just happy they are using the O.U.R system
since when did foundation = footwork?
How does Issei get a 5 in Battle his first set, yet Blonde gets a 4 after doing Issei's slow motion with Airflares?
There is no wrong or right way to judge, nor is it wrong to assert one's opinion on who was better in the battle. Don't spread that hate, just let people view a set the way they want to and don't give them crap for it.

And JonattanD you're right, but in B-Boying you need all elements, not just focus on one like Blonde did in this battle...
I think you can get those high scores when you did different variation of powermoves in a set,that's why Issei can easily win with our system.
While I agree that Issei did way too many halos, when do you say he crashed? Didn't see anything noticeable.
Nice battle! If U sum up previous their sets U can see Issei was repeating, but if judge just this round without remembering previous rounds Issei was stronger. Both bboys deserve to be in the finals, just IMO Blond had bigger variation of moves. PeacE
Love watching Blond again on 2013
Foundation is about the music not about the foorwork. check out dyzees explanation of the judging system
The R16 is always in Korea but that hasn't stopped bboys like Roxrite winning it in the past.
Issei is a dope bboy, but every round he did some sort of halos followed by a sixstep, by his 2nd round you could already know what is coming next... Blonde won for me! But both dope bboys and a dope battle!

great Battle. Issei battle to win, Blonde battle to have fun.
I think Issei was implying that the slow-mo gimmick is Japan's move (Yosshi from Mortal Kombat)
You have two great Bboys well known for their power moves & your expecting them to bust out in style..? That's like expecting a fish to walk on land.
don't say anything guys. really i know how u feel.but judges did judge. are u judge? are u blond or issei?
yeah dont comment in comments guys
Irony is that Bboy Blonde isn't a "Blonde" in battle or hair colour
it is also involved in 'Originality' category i think.
execution, round 1: issei was a bit sloppy with his trans into footwork but blond couldn't even hold his last freeze. round 2: issei had no major mess ups but overall not perfect, 4 worthy while blond was also 4 worthy with a not so clean get up for his last move. round 3: issei was slipping up a bit here and there throughout the whole set, nothing serious.

how come blond represent ausi..not korean?

Issei is basically the junior version of Taisuke since they look exactly alike. might as well call him Taisuke jr. Lol
