Mental Fusion vs SKB | R16 2013 | Crew QuarterFinal

The concept of RESPECT is the everlasting theme of this massive four-day event. Over 300 artists, musicians, grassroots-content creators, promoters, producers, urban enthusiasts, hip-hop heads and b-boys from around the world convene in Korea, in an attempt to provide the proper inspiration necessary to push the movement forward. What started out as a world-championship-level b-boy tournament has now evolved into a massive annual festival, which seeks to encompass all aspects of urban youth cultures, as the festival draws visitors and spectators not only from Korea, but also from different regions of Asia and the world.
In 2007, the R16 World B-Boy Championships & Urban Arts Festival was launched as a means of answering a single, burning question: With the support of the government and nation, can grassroots, youth-based cultures like hip-hop and b-boying become profitable, self-sustaining industries? Can these underground movements embed themselves and maintain relevance in society and the mainstream media in Korea and throughout the world?
Through the generous support of the Korea Tourism Organization, the Korean Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and the city of Incheon, this year's world-class festival will celebrate and demonstrate the power of youth and the positive possibilities a gathering of this nature can create.
More than anything, this event is a testament to the notion that through dedication and passion, anything is possible. Despite all the conflicts and prejudices that exist in our world, we can still overcome our differences and unite as a group through dance.

4:51 music?

I felt so sorry for Bboy Blue... It was going to be his very first battle with SKB and as soon as he went for his back flip, he injured his foot. He ended up only doing the SKB performance... Still amazing how Blue and Blond are dancing together now. Blond replaced Blue at the end which is really good connection with Extreme Crew and SKB.

[@jinruizhang]

With all the respect for the judges, but in my opinion i think there has been misjudging in this battle. For example in the final round, SKB crashed so bad in the routine that their bboy went out of the battle limping, yet they got 5 in battle category.

Hay

[@bigstunna2049]

Nice battle

[@CrispTopherOTT]

Shit.. Mental Fusion is sick! That move at 6:58; that gave me shivers.

[@polo455265]

round3 wtf 4 5 5 4 5 I can't figure out why he got those points

[@55699BBOY]

Mental fusion was won

[@thegreif911]

Such a blatant robbery... The only thing SKB had going for them was Blonde. MF shouldve won

[@KBX12Gaming]

Holy shit watto round lmao 4,5,5,4,5

[@boughlou304]

Who win ?

[@manchanh]

sick judge

[@jinruizhang]

injury in battle means crash, and crashing goes into the execution category precisely, you are correct. I still think there were several minor errors that let to an unfair final decision in my opinion. But I wasnt there and i am not a judge, just throwing my two cents

[@teeCao]

Guy didn't crash per-say, he just didn't get to finish his round properly because he tweaked his leg/foot/ankle(?) on the landing. That is more a execution error (which is why I think they got a 3). I believe they got a 5 battle response because they responded to MF's last round quite well - in the fact that Blonde stepped in to finish the round for SKB - which is what battle strat/response is all about. Just my opinion though.

[@s_pick420]

mental fusion was sick tho

[@hindy51]

China was nice!

[@AdemirICedillos]

9:51 I saw him limp off stage and never came back for the next battle. Can anyone update on his condition?

[@TheZeitheizt]

It was bboy Blue, but yes. He couldnt make it to against BC

[@Sporecreaturesgalexy]

He tore his Achilles tendon I think... It was that or his ACL, but I'm almost positive that it was his Achilles. :(

[@s_pick420]

its hard, we would have to ask the judges why they gave them that score. Maybe they saw something we didn't? or maybe they overthought it and scored too high. who knows

[@ws02180018]

Round 3 was unfair judge!!

[@BboyDaquack]

Dam... that sucks...

[@chantalmacias9958]

song 4:50 plis

[@fandangosdepresunto6752]

I would like to know too :(

[@That0therG]

Seth VanMaren if he tore his achilles tendon then he wouldn't have been limping...he would have been literally rolling in absolute agony. and that would've been the end of his career as a bboy

[@That0therG]

it's during this battle! just watch until the end

[@KonstellationsTV]

Shade's Archives bro, question, do you know the name of the guy on Mental Fusion's team who wears the backwards SnapBack, long hair, and starts this battle off?

[@lyleyang9478]

it is bboy vega, chinese name 南龍. He is from Beijing.

[@BBOYRESTART0909]

I think that is the problem of OUR System. Also, maybe OGs dunno how to use Iphone LOL

[@s_pick420]

sucks but I don't think mental fusion would've beat BC or Morning of owl either way
