(SICK BEATBOXING) BATACO vs CODFISH | Grand Beatbox Battle 2018 // Swiss Beatbox Reaction

[@lukamisetic8803]

So what codfish did at the start of the second round is a counter, and he did lasers that bataco did but better and thats why the crowd is yelling

[@MatthewMiller716]

👌👌👌👌

[@hisokabeatbox9053]

he didnt do it better, he used simple whistles, bataco did actual laser sound...

[@lukamisetic8803]

@@hisokabeatbox9053 idk, imo it sounded better, especially when he said no lol, also i like your name

[@hisokabeatbox9053]

i think it sounds better for some people because it's louder. but its really easier than the real laser sound. however it was very good as a counter thats why it was sick

[@hazeleye5598]

@@lukamisetic8803 nah Bataco laser was clean unlike codfish's wich where just whistles.

Another great analysis Ellis. Codfish is a fairly controversial beatboxer in some respects. His critics will say that he has a very limited repertoire, only uses a handful of sounds and really only gained popularity because of what he was doing on KZbin (Beatboxing for easily impressed kids in Call Of Duty games), while on the other hand his fans will say that he has masterful control of melodic sounds and always delivers a crowd-pleasing show. Personally, I find him to be one of those beatboxers I have to judge based on each given routine, for example (technique and cleanness aside) I find his first round to be one of the most dull and dreary beatbox routines I've ever heard, it really embodies the "Codfish only does this sound" criticism. HOWEVER, the second round is like night and day from the first one and is an absolute scorcher. I think he's kind of limited (or maybe its a confidence thing) when it comes to the head-to-head battles, if he can get a good round in then he will generally always have the crowd on his side and that will help the judges, plus he has a few "old faithful" elements like the No Diggity break that he can fall back on and will always be a crowd pleaser. Don't get me wrong before I get accused of being a Codfish hater, I'm not in the slightest and if anything he seems like one of the nicest guys in beatbox (although they all seem a pretty decent bunch) I just personally find that both the critics and the fans are right about certain aspects of his performance. Ellis, I think you should start checking out some Tag Team stuff. You said in the circle jam how you liked seeing what different people did with each others beats and the different dynamic it brought, well the tag team competition also has that on a smaller scale and when you get into the competition, you get thr battle format as well. So with that said I think to get you started, check out Wolfgang (MB14 & Saro) GBB 2020 Wildcard and if you like what that has to offer I'm sure you'll get other suggestions.

Great comment!

[@MagicTater]

Although, old Codfish, when he was known as Bunnyf1uff had A LOT more beats and sounds than what he uses now. He used to be a trap and technicality monster but for some reason after GBB 2018, he for some reason chose to stick more musical beats. But dude definitely used to be a lot more crazy than he is now.

[@Immanuel_jijo]

@@MagicTater ikrrrr he has a cool inward bass but he doesn't use it now 😭

[@Rainbowalpacas]

This is a rather unimaginative view of codfishes first round. Beatboxing isn’t all about an impressive repertoire of sounds you can make. The production of his first beat was insanely well thought out and the melody was beautiful. A very moving performance.

[@VICKERY-]

The thing about this battle is the whole structure of it is like a movie, and the more times you rewatch it you notice little things that you didn't notice before, and codfish perfectly set this battle up in a structure similar to a superhero movie, plus predicted roughly the level that bataco was gonna bring to the table. He also used a lot of repetition, counters, and shuttle hints to how he was gonna "obliterate" bataco, and afterwards brought back those little things.

[@alindaniel1385]

Sam Perry’ GBB 2019 Showcase is a MUST ! You’ll enjoy it dudee💯💯💯

[@sayanmajumder941]

Your assumptions on the battles are much accurate now..cuz everything you told was true. React to KPOM vs KOTCHA for hot tag team action..I think you'll like it

[@hnilgarcia5296]

His beatbox knowledge is improving 😎

[@alindaniel1385]

Exactly I feel like he’s getting more into this and he seems to be more interested and also he s enjoying all of this stuff which is amazing, at the beginning he was more like “meh”

[@sayanmajumder941]

@@alindaniel1385 I like him from the very beginning though..its always a good change to hear a professional point of view and criticism, he just hits different lol

[@alindaniel1385]

Sayan Majumder yeah absolutely! He’s one of those few reactors who doesn’t only watch a video and that’s it. There are many many reasons and u mate already know them 😝

[@kierantorres9382]

So Bataco is more of a battling beatboxer which is why he came out of the gates with beats. Codfish is more of a showcase beatboxer and it also helps that he had established popularity due to his KZbin channel. That being said, from the second round alone, I think Codfish wins it

[@RainierArts]

nice you bought the mic!

[@ayushoinam483]

He still doesn't use it properly tho 😂

[@connorcheetham4549]

The first round codfish took the melody from do I wanna know by the arctic monkeys, if no one made that connection

[@Rylee_G]

16:29 it was at this moment he knew He had fucked up

You gotta do SHOW-GO 2019 Solo Elimination! You have to you have y To!!!!

Bro you should definitely watch a ABX beatbox Flex/difference/vibe. Kid is 16 but he has such a unique sounds in his arsenal that its hard to explain. I think you would enjoy it

[@Rylee_G]

8:53 I was just thinking that 😱

[@blackhawkbrett6688]

No one can be as good as codfish on a simplistic musicality side. he dominates people with how good his grooves and clean his noises are. loooveee to the man the myth

[@Rylee_G]

2:34 yep 😊

Gabrielle Harder That vid is a “meh” imo

[@enmanuel1950]

Man given that you react to so many korean singers/musicians it's crazy to me that no one has suggested you to watch Wing easily the best korean beatboxer (imho, i know some other people might prefer hiss or Two H). It's hard to recommend only one cause he has so many good videos but start out with WING X HUCKLE - Machu Picchu

[@angusleehs]

Agreed

[@danielAguilera04]

You really like musicality 🔥🔥

[@suliveye5448]

Gotta watch codfish vs dlow too. Thats an insane battle as well.

[@jemmykurniawan9317]

Runs up the beginning

[@lurkenvoncurken518]

Codfish used that specific routine in his first to not only respond to Bataco saying "Slow it down", but also to set up hype for No Diggity in the second round. Codfish has mastered crowd control down to the tee.

[@lucac6677]

If you like Bataco, and I know you love Gene, you should check out their collab: Lung Shan

[@Adam_Adamu]

Generally the techniques codfish uses are much more simple than all the techniques bataco uses. The thing is codfish uses those simple techniques to mastery and he has great dynamics which helped him win, and his great counter in the second round of course. But yeah, bataco's techniques are definitely harder than codfish's

[@hnilgarcia5296]

Codfish sounds are more clean

[@Adam_Adamu]

@@hnilgarcia5296 I agree, I don't think bataco's drums are unclean though, it just so happens that bataco uses unclean sounds more often

He’s cool. But I’m not a huge fan of his style tbh

[@SirCubical]

Please react to kpom vs kotcha. It's sick!

[@plutoo4683]

Your bbx knowledge is getting better but you kinda got this one wrong..except the ending of the battle bataco is the one who is doing more difficult and more complex sound or technicalities BUT codfish uses his more simple and more basic sounds and perfects them, basically he is the more musical battler and bataco the ,battle kind of beatboxer´

[@cristiancastro2939]

Is it me or the one in the middle is crazy for not seeing codfhis chosen

[@dylanrucki8674]

Codfish is relatively low in the complexity/technicality level compared to other beatboxers in most cases, though he knows how to do incredibly difficult techniques and beats. He excels in musicality and crowd control. Judges look at everything, including the crowd.

[@FDE-fw1hd]

Yeah there are insane beaboxers out there but can't seem to ger far on stage because of crowd control.

[@orangsukses3475]

Next watch berywam in asia beatbox judge

Zero >> vocodah

[@hnilgarcia5296]

They are both good. Zero has more techniques and Audical is expert on his field.

[@Liero_]

Bataco's beats were way more complex but Codfish is incredibly clean and powerful. Codfish killed Bataco but just in his second round, the first rounds were very close
