I first saw this in 2007... So sick, i saved it to several playlists in several older youtube accounts. Le'me say, Cephalopod was way ahead of his time, way beyond Dementia, totally underrated, and never really seen again. I've been searching youtube, off and on, for years of any other video of Cephalopod. Anyone, know Ceph's real name, what crew he was affiliated... If any, and where he's from??? Found it... Eric Gunther, Boston, Imobilare crew, early 2000's... Finally!!!

Yup, no doubt. Just rewatched and Cephalopod is way, way sicker than I remembered.

Cephalapod's strolling strobe is amazing. Its very difficult to dime stop while taking steps, yet he keeps it clean throughout and makes it look like you're watching a clip of filmed animation. Love it. Thank you for posting this.

I've watched this so many times! Bottom line is both of these guys are amazing and have very different styles. Ceph has incredible control, Dementia seems a bit more dynamic. Both are incredible and totally blow me away. This is arguably the best dance video on KZitem.

wow - I originally uploaded this video clip on Soulseek about 4 years ago - its still as popular as ever. This battle took place at MIT in Cambridge, MA at an event called "BBoy till ya Drop". Dementia, in Red, has nice clean body waves, good hard chest popping, and crisp tuts. Cephalopod, shows some excellent animation along with his strobing - the effect is unreal - closely resembling some kind of creature from an old Harry Hauseman claymation movie, like "Sinbad and the 7th Voyage.

This is one of those battles where I would have to say its a draw. Each was superb in their own style. I watched the musicality and sound interperetaion of both dancers and I just can't say one is better than the other. One of my favorite poppin clips for sure!

This is actually way too close to call. Cephalopod is more original (except for the strobing) and Dementia is technically superior. As there's no clear winner this one boils down to personal preference in terms of style.

This battle took place at MIT in Cambridge, Mass at an event called "BBoy Til Ya Drop" around the year 2003. It was part of a Poppin' contest. This was one of the better battles during that event. Cephalopod (green) shows some decent "Animation" style skills, while Dementia shows some nice tutting, waving, and popping. Dementia is the more well-rounded dancer and flips styles rather nicely.

I like this battle because it was mostly a showcase of the special effects in popping like acting like a robot (I'm not sure if botting is the correct term for it), strobing, little bit of snaking and ticking. It was interesting and a nice trip from the usual boogaloo with the lurch, old mans, and fresnos.

He was in a crew in Boston called Imobilare (from MIT) that had an event called Hip Hop Throwdown (Imobilarbe vs Turbo) and there was a pretty sick battle called Turbomania in 2001 or 2002. At the time Cephalopod was easily the best popper in Boston. This was a long time ago when bboying was just coming back and cephalopod had just finished a masters in computer science at MIT (by the way his name is Eric Gunther)

@yayatCHILLZ that is a basic glide, I m not sure who created it but it was around before Micheal Jackson made it popular, Jackson was taught to dance by the electric Boogaloos who taught him and gave many of the tool he used in his dance. Now i m not saying Micheal was not a super talented dancer he was but he didnt invent alot of moves he did, He however gave them great exposure. RIP Micheal
