BBoy Champs 2013 | 1on1 Final | Menno vs Taisuke

[@Zayerlord]

I agree, it was close, but in the end Taisuke EXPLODED with powermoves and precision to break off the abstract style set that they both were feeding on. In other words, He showed the crowd he still had enough energy to SPRINT to the finish line and the crowd simply reacted ;)

[@pandahok426]

Taisuke used to be one of the top bboys i was a fan of! Now he seems a little cocky and doesn't really even try anymore, but even so, with sets that short and getting into finals for competitions like this? obviously he's still got it, just wish he'd go back to his old self from his BC ONE days.

[@trillmotherfuckerz2895]

bro, his still one of the top bboys now.........

[@pandahok426]

I know aha I meant that he used to be one of the top bboys I was a fan of like top of my personal list lol he's still Taisuke, bc one all star, there's no doubt he's mad skilled.

[@TheBlackMUMBUH]

Yeh i liked his style back in bc one. Like the battle katwo vs taisuke! lol so dope. but i think his new style is a lot flashier and faster paced which i enjoy watching.

[@Tphondoo]

What with taisukes short sets.. Seems like he always has short sets in battles..

[@dustytan8826]

Taisuke set is toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo short == he could have won big if it add on long abit

[@sdimilus]

Menno had some really creative moves and he had some elaborate sets. He might not have matched Taisuke in dynamic, but he was really artful.

[@onnu23]

He won Uk Bboy champs Solo 2007 and 2013. And he already competed in red bull twice in 2008 and 2009. He is a well known Bboy.

BBoy Champs 2013 | 1on1 Final | Menno vs Taisuke

[@RP2K]

who win ?

[@paulvandal3222]

Menno took it

[@HoangNguyen-go1ne]

i think he do it in every set ......... air track & flare after that doing footwork , but menno do some fresh link & move & trick ...... look so creative i hope taisuke put more dynamic in his set ..........

[@FlavArtFilm]

one of the best line up for the 1vs1 this year...dope final!!

[@BBoyTariOLSC]

taisuke en la ultima ronda volvió a tener algo de su esencia original, EL RITMO !!!

[@Zayerlord]

Yes I do. In addition, speed and tempo falls under execution and musicality at some cases.

[@thebboyheartbreaker]

MY point is that Menno has been around for a while and has been in the Red Bull world finals at least twice (08 and 09).

[@bboybboy08]

it doesn`t have to be long. Bboys always gotta be sharp. big props to both aaaight

[@kinge59420]

you is judges ?

[@MrExpression1000]

Last song?

[@TienPham-xy9cq]

round ?

[@yiliu1893]

I want to know what the second song from the album？

[@Victorsiqueiramendes]

who won?

[@johnduch]

Taisuke hasn't been in battles for quite a bit is what I read on the BC One Website. Good battle overall though.

[@adrian98boy]

me encanta la camisa , lastima creo no la venden solo a los all stars

[@hmlzarthur]

second song so dope!!!!!!!

[@ReneSCanta]

who's winner??

[@jeffyboyreloaded]

Taisuke!!

[@lumthegreat]

menno , on the description

[@borraycho1]

MENNO WIN

[@DynamiteStylez]

I would give it to Taisuke, but Menno is also dope! I admire Taisuke's 2013-moves, but I miss Taisuke's 2007-style!

[@mitismee]

Meeno win by how many vote ?

[@shadenet1989]

never heard of menno... lets see him perform at red bull

[@nograviti]

Hmm taisuke took this one for me. I felt menno on fair and square against lilou in 2012 I think. But this year no...

[@SuperNykson]

taisuke winner ! *-*

[@diseasefire]

foundation: taisuke originality: menno dynamics: taisuke execution: taisuke battle: menno 3-2 winner: Taisuke

[@javierva2452]

Execution : menno .. power move taisuke is not very clean..menno clean in everything

[@coolskin68]

because his moves are so fast

[@cocodestroy]

menno flav!!

[@KOL0125]

one of the best styleheads in the world, u should do some study before you comment

[@ravisandberg]

Menno!

[@MCTHK720]

taisuke

[@Ch1dor]

I think that there should be a tie breaker. Both of them seemed a bit tired. Couldn't really decide...

[@KevoThePhotographer]

Mennooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

[@DynamiteDAYO]

CRAZYYYY

[@hoopra]

i dont mind taisuke short sets, caus hes faster looks better than slow shit unless its playing with the music

[@Nicksenseii]

Build your stamina then, Toprock is as important to a set as the freeze, the power, the footwork.

[@Machoman720]

Taisuke is smoother and has less flop in his power moves, he can actually flare a whole lot cleaner, and has much less issue doing moves such as nineteen nineties and that flare twist around. I think the reason Menno won was because Taisuke's rounds were shorter.

[@Koibboy]

Nice battle!!! Redbullbcone 2013 finals??? Haha :D

[@mandragonist]

RBBC ONE 2014 Final =)

[@Koibboy]

mandragonist Yap, my predictions where right :D and this year I've seen it with my own eyes :D

[@mandragonist]

Me too, bro =)

[@DKChubs]

I think you might be confusing fluidity for flow. Menno's got them liquid bones for sure, but being loose in all you do ain't always a good thing.

[@MrExpression1000]

Taisuke always cuts his sets short in the last battle of every contest. Same thing happened in Paris 2008

[@zac-dance.factory]

Tasuke go fast as a bugatti, have you ever see it live??? make you breathless Taisuke in 5 second can do all a normal person can do in 30's incredible

[@pewe357]

Menno is sick!

[@akumasdeception]

Menno slaughtered nuff said

[@ehduhweredoh]

Taisuke looked tired, I've definitely seen more energy from him. Menno was nice and smooth. He didn't hit many beats but his sets seemed more complete. I honestly feel Menno won THIS battle. But Taisuke has more than he brought to this battle.

[@aaronfiedler1507]

ofc i like Taisuke's style more....but Menno is a real Combobeast...props

[@kose1016]

taisuke has cheers

[@karakarakon]

Taisuke's sets are too short...all good though.

[@kose1016]

me neither even both but he won

[@johnxiong5232]

Taisuke sets were way too short! He could of done better, it seemed like he used all his good moves already...

[@nellosdjmusic]

tasiuke come back

[@RFyellowtail]

Taisuke's sets were too short. He also seemed pretty tired as well. I agree Menno took that one but if Taisuke did more he would've won for sure

[@MyKeyboardCanDance]

Man, stop being biased to Taisuke. I'm a fan and he's still a beast. But Menno's flow, dynamics, execution and originality... He definitely got this one.

[@BboyTurtlefresh]

menno brought his unique style. he has toprocks, but he didn't really use them. He still stuck ith his style. i agree that some of taisukes sets were short, but so were some of mennos. i thought it was close. in all honesty i don't know who i would give this to.

[@123EMC123]

They both did well but i think T sets too short and M have no foundation at all.

[@FURY2VISION]

menno

[@clashepc7613]

no dought obviously Menno is the winner..

[@ashtono1]

You made sure not to mention musicality huh. Good one.

[@KebraderaPumper]

man... menno is original bboy.. u cant battle with him with short sessions

[@Hotboiruben2]

Gat Dayum Menno

[@kidoryuta1315]

taisuke took it for me!!! he is so inspiring

[@legendarybattousai_5868]

Taisuke got killed. I don't know how he thinks his two second rounds were gonna bring him the win. Menno kept clean, had quick response & obviously longer sets. One set is gonna win you a 5 round battle (Taisuke's last set). Menno hands down

[@speedy922d]

Menno was only frezzes taisuke has inproved a litle more

[@123bboymeandyou]

Dang menno is getting lucky

[@DenzelAyeah]

saw this live it was so sick, if you ask me i think taisuke could of won but his rounds were too short

[@sisepuedemaybe]

Damn Taisuke, why didn't you do longer sets?!!

[@arturoalejandro1216]

Guys taking more time from the rounds does not mean you are better, it means you're nervous enough of losing to one of the red bull bc one stars. So please stahp saying menno won.

[@wengersaphorism]

Menno does the same moves every battle. He's only good to watch if you've seen him the first couple of times as he's quite smooth, but Taisuke is so much sharper and crisp. I guess their styles are both different but I prefer Taisuke! He killed Menno with those power moves!

[@Ganzo619]

I dunno, I don't think Taisuke tried hard enough. I don't know if he was tired or used up all the rest of his stuff to get to the finals but Menno definitely did more in this battle. You'll get em' next time Taisuke

[@Koibboy]

IMO 1 round Menno 2 round tie 3 round tie 4 round Menno 5 round Menno

[@Machoman720]

Gotta love those cocky bboys that Taisuke takes out one by one.

[@ItsDannynigguh1]

Damm.

[@Kensoy83]

I know it is, but as a strategy as shown here, there's no need since they're both not dancing as much. If it was one person toprocking every round and the other didn't, then it'll be the other guy's loss. Remember, every judge there has a criteria on what they're suppose to judge on.

[@Paul180]

You are the man of the stats

[@lolgabber2]

but better...

[@dudepal187]

Menno 100%

[@ws02180018]

taisuke took dat one

[@seymourglass26]

So this is how Red Bull chose their special guest invites for BC One '13. Both dope bboys, so no complaints there, but I hope this doesn't mean events are all blending into one generic scene. I also have seen UK BBoy champs use other events as prelims, so I'm a little worried that events will lose the local flavor and just become one big tournament bracket instead of fun jams where you can get down with your friends and have a good time. Hope I'm wrong, though. Peace.

[@seymourglass26]

MAVERICOASTERS Oh, I love the small jams, no doubt, but there's no reason the celebrated events can't be unique as well, especially since they're the proverbial stars we shoot for. Peace.

[@DanceCOMMUNITYyoutub]

if they are big events of course people does not go there to get down. and who wants and is not a Top of course wouldn't go there, i suppose :)

[@seymourglass26]

Dance Community That's simply not true. IBE and Freestyle Session are two huge events that set a great example of how you can go big and still have a ton of community involvement and cyphers for days.

[@DanceCOMMUNITYyoutub]

ok, thanks for the tip ;)

[@riftorsill]

he lost 2nd round in 2008 redbull bc one finals i think, and 2nd round in this years redbull bc one western european qualifers,

[@thebboyheartbreaker]

You must be new...

[@TamagoTamago77]

I love Taisuke, but Menno is just too fresh.

[@3xistingcr3w]

is final,can see it both is tried.taisuke is always doing to smoke other,cus he did say b4 he like short and gt point...

[@MSeuPRO]

is taisukes sets were longer than they were he probably could of won this battle still though respect to both ;)

[@Rainingpenuts]

I can see why Menno won.

[@MrSmokeSChuyler]

Ah taisuke got kind of cocky, menno went all out. I bet if taisuke brought his a game and did longer sets he would of been able to pull through, usually has shorter sets though so idk.

[@wengersaphorism]

Taisuke ate him for breakfast! Did you see the smile of defeat on Menno at the end? The crowd were cheering for Taisuke!

[@user-fj9fhne8cn3]

Now come out yeah!

[@You-Toober]

Both were VERY skilled, but in my opinion, the guy with the burgundy sneakers - (Menno) won this battle.

[@bobmarkerson]

3:54

[@FreshFlixProductions]

Going 5 rounds at this level? That's why some runs were short. Im just glad i aint no judge. This was sooo damn close.

[@kodozer]

menno took 4 out of 5.. taisuke rounds are too short!!! where was thesis? i thought he was in the 1v1s.

[@shadenet1989]

u must have not gotten my point...

[@GroinDestroyer]
