Paradox vs Rubix SEMI FINAL Hiphop Forever - Summer Dance Forever 2022

[@Johnoooh]

I got chills when Rubix said "for me I lose" this man is not only one of the best dancers at the moment but also one of the humblest and realest. Maddest respect, I been following Rubix for years and he never ceases to amaze me not just through his dancing but who he is as a person. Keep doing your thing Rubix and incredible dancing and well deserved win from paradox.

[@Blackfrog67]

I agree with him, but sometimes the music does not match you so good, rubix is a very agressive type of dancer, paradox is smoother but less tribal, rubix has that animality that was not really able to be displayed with these type of musics but they are both insane

[@zangetsu1597]

@@Blackfrog67 Please don't blame the music. Disclaimer: Been following rubix and luciano since their preteen battle. Rubix is a top dancer. He can kill it to any song like most other top dancers. Paradox used this as a teaching opportunity. Rubix will come back stronger I'm sure after this level of battle.

[@Blackfrog67]

@@zangetsu1597 I mean I agree these guys can dance on pretty much anything but this tournament I did not really feel deep zone connexion with music, but maybe ur right just me, anyways i said they all insane and paradox did give a lesson, but I know they both capable of things even more insane dat's why i said dat :D

[@mestarryeyed]

Throughout the whole event each Paradox's round is a pure masterpiece, no joking, he straight kills everyone without any chance, even Rubix had absolutely nothing to counter him that night Dude is on a completely another level, the complexity of routines is just ridiculuous, and he is maintaining the vibe in a unique personal manner, I have never seen anything like that, seriously Endless respect to this guy, keeping the scene at it's highest possible, much love for everyone

[@tkross4342]

Well said! I love both of these dancers. Both showed extreme respect for one another! Both are great, one has more experience the other just gained experience and will most likely learn from it.

[@NinoWassmer]

Yup, closest battle and yet, Paradox was so far ahead... He was untouchable that day. What an amazing battle they brought us...

[@bountyhuntersgamingBHxG]

Rubix and Paradox in my top 5. Nuff Said..... Rubix when you consented, i was like, folks if you need an example of being humble, and sportsmanship. You got one. o7!!!! Paradox, blessings, you have consistently been performing at such a high level, for so long that it's almost expected. Which shows how good you are. I'm glad you won it all. You deserved that one man. o7!!!

[@cordellgibson6037]

Rubix brought the pain, and he even went first (which is something him and Les Twins normally don't do lol), but Paradox kept turning it up a notch and walked him down. Every round Paradox matched Rubix and showed him superiority, which is something because Rubix is a monster. This should have been the final IMO.

[@tkross4342]

Agree!!!

[@jonasabraham298]

Rubix had 2 great rounds and 1 monster of a round that paradox still upped a notch! Absolutely incredible!

I don't often do this but I rewinded and had to watch Paradox's second round multiple times. Very unique mover.

[@djvsquare2007]

Some people get sour about the crowd supporting paradox more. If you look carefully at the row behind Paradox, they gave Rubix way more support than ever. And PEOPLE LOVE PARADOX for a reason. He is always humble, supporting others and just pure. He brings good atmosphere for the battle stage. He is not only an amazing dancer but also an amazing person in real life. A patient teacher, a genuine artist and very funny (sometimes dad jokes lol😂). If you are watching this video, it means you like this art form.

Music for this is top tier. I agree with Rubix and what I find remarkable is the level of honesty. That's something I imagine he learned from Criminalz Crew. It's not about ego, it's about having respect for the culture. Shout out to Paradox on the W. Can all battles be this??? _signed a fan of this energy.

They were absolutely amazing and truly original. I definitely thought Rubix won, as he set the tone each round, though they were both breathtaking.

[@adrianolopes7473]

Rubix even had a good first round, with his energy, which is what he has best, but Paradox in the first round put on a real show, and Rubix knows it. In the second round, I thought it was a draw, I think if I say that Rubix won by a little, would it be absurd? Although Paradox also had a nice second round. And the third round, another brilliant round of the inspired Paradox, Rubix made a beautiful round also clear, but it lacked less energy and more balance from Rubix, as it was in the Paradox round, the music asked for more balance and he gave balance. Overall, Rubix had a great duel and it was a great challenge, but as I said before, Paradox was lit, a well-deserved victory for Paradox. He was great!
