final battle of WDSF World Dance Sport Federation Breaking Championship 2019 from Nanjing, China
Menno vs Issei
(in the middle of this battle there is a 90 second rest, then the second side starts for the last two rounds, hence the dip to black in the middle of the footage)
winner: Menno (Netherlands)

[@matthewmyersoj6886]

I really enjoyed watching this “new” Issei. He incorporated moves I've never seen him doing before, such as tombstone mills. Everything looked different to me, (character, style, sets, outfit...). 4:23 Menno was all about new original moves as well. Nice battle.

[@inclinebench]

I feel like battle attitude is what Issei has been lacking all these years. Usually he just goofs around but here he brought that battle intensity.

[@matthewmyersoj6886]

@@inclinebench Totally agreed.

[@oldskoolfool141]

@@matthewmyersoj6886 'Battle attitude' is hellafake, that attitude came from REAL street beef, it's so cringe when it's two dudes from opposite ends of the world get up in each others faces like they've got some lifelong feud lol, you never saw Storm get heated or throwing dicks in faces, the fabricated static is so low IQ

[@darisonjean3251]

@@oldskoolfool141 man you really need to put you mind to work and see that break it is just an form of art similar to theather. Some of them like to play aggressively and we dont care about because that we know thats all staging. At the end of the battle you can see the hugs and the hands shakes. The art was created to we get out of this prison that is all those rules that we have to follow in society

[@matthewmyersoj6886]

@@oldskoolfool141 Haha. I understand your point, but we can't expect people to to beat the shit out of themselves in a movement that emerges as an alternative to this violence... I imagine that everyone will have their reasons to expose that anger in the battle, and many of them can be favored because of the social networks. Maybe you see that they've stolen a move you did before, that speaks ill of you behind your back, or that they don't like your Instagram posts, whatever. I don't think it's necessary to meet in person to have reasons why you want to fight... It could even turn the other way around. If you meet a person long enough to know even what he ate yesterday, you could even be friends haha. However, I agree with the “cringey throwing dicks” and all that similar stuff part...

Good result . You could tell both were way tired by the end which benefits Menno since Issie relies on a lot of power moves.

Wow I actually seen Menno repeat a couple moves in this tournament! Honestly, both are so high complexity you can’t pick a winner. I will a say that Menno has a unique way of making of making power movers look “lazy”.

[@undrgrnd734]

Can someone please explain to me how did the judging system work? Last two rounds looked like a tie for me. Did menno win because of the ammount of votes he got in previous rounds? That's what i assume. I think it deserved one more round though, not sure if the system allows it however.

I've seen powermove freaks for a decade. I've never seen a Menno. That's the difference.

Props for Meno on winning this event. I will say that originality is sometimes boring. To simply put it, Meno’s originality is boring to watch. He’s mostly breaking hunched over on the ground. There is only so much of that style that a person can see before getting bored. Meno is complex and original but rarely has the wow factor that make battles exciting.
