The beat sampled in Control is actually an electro classic called *Clear* by Cybertron. Sounds much better in it's original form without the rapping but yeah I agree, it's better for poppin' rather than breakin'.

and to add on to what Deadpast wrote... read this quote by bboy zeshen. this is just a part of it, but i think it sums it up the best. "Style is your character, energy, uniqueness, the mood/aura your dance provokes, it IS bboying. It is a REQUIREMENT of the art. It has NOTHING to do with what kinds of moves you do, footwork or power or whatever. Style is the choices you make, the way you formulate and piece together your run, and the way you respond to the music..."

Let's end the argument right here, powerheads and styleheads are BOTH considered Bboys. Style it takes a lot of skill to do all those steps and freezes, power it takes equally as much skill. Power is just liked more cause it looks cooler, unless you're a Bboy or a fan who has seen it too many times. So basically this is how I see it that the fans like: Powermoves = Non experienced fans Stylemoves = experienced fans and other Bboys.

"And a more proper name for flexible is abstract." Abstract is much more broad then flexible. There are tons of 'abstract' bboys. Abstract depends on a new and original style that is beyond foundational and conventional. In fact I think you could go as far as to say many 'flexible' bboys are typical because they do not create very abstract moves and all follow similar patterns. Bboys like Cloud, Toyz, Remind are abstract, yet not double jointed...

CONT'D...All start w/primary categories & add 2ndary ones if desired. Some change everything altogether as they progress & grow older. Bboys can do many categories, but I categorize them depending on WHAT THEY MAINLY DISPLAY, not what they're able to do in practice. For example, Lilou shows some power/flexibility, but his main display = style/technical sets. Physicx = power/technical. Omar = combiniations (w/some power). I've noticed bboys w/variety usually win battles. Any opinions?

Born does style and that goes with the beat and music. Baek does power and its hard to do but that doesnt go with any music at all, he's just going up there and doing whatever power moves he feels like doing, but his toprock is good anyway. But its still dancing and you have to go with the beat, and i can most probably guarantee that baek wasn't even thinking where the beat was going to change, he was just thinking about where to put his legs over his head next.

This is a really hard thing to judge, cause baek is basicly all power, born is all footwork, both are solid foundations, and is best when combined, thats why other bboys like hong10, lilou, roxrite, ronnie etc stand out cause they are one of the best at mixing all the foundations with their own creativity. Baek and Born are amazing bboys, baek is inhuman and my footwork is not even nearly as complex as born, just wish they added more of the opposite style to their routines.

That's why it's called "set". It's a pre-ordered sequence. But by the way, baek pretty much uses the same set in each battle. Vs Lil Klash (that he fucking owned the guy) he used this set. Vs Zero-Nine, the same. Anyways, he owns, because since no one can beat the same set of each battle, it probably means it's a freaking amazing set. (And i concur with my conclusion.)

honestly, i think everyone else displays footwork and stuff cause they wana start the battle off slow and pick it up later. basicaly cause they don't have enough moves to keep it up at that high of a level. both of them showed basic footwork, it's just one decided to focus more on footwork and the other chose to go more with power. it's up to the judges to decide who won.

its not a question of style vs power. both bboys have both and use both. what got born the win is he was being a truer bboy. he shows he understands all areas of bboying in his runs. he throws out interesting tops, style/footwork, and power. baek just shows power most of the time. if baek threw down some tops and played with foot work more it might have been closer. i think both are great. just telling it like it is

lol, no, I don't think it's all about fighting. I'm just saying, In my eyes, it's an approach to battling someone. You can battle someone as if it were a fight and take it seriously, or just have fun and express yourself with hopes of winning. Either way, it is the base of the dance. If you really read what I was saying earlier, you probably wouldn't be calling it trash. Simple as that. I don't know why people try to complicate it and make it seem more complex than it really is.
