R16 Korea 2012 World Finals Bboy Crew | Semi Final
Jinjo vs Massive Monkees

I always wondered why MM won... but then I saw this version of the battle and saw the categories and that there was only a 3 mark margin between them and it all made sense. This is one of my favourite battles-I've been watching it since I was 13-and both of the crews deserve victory in my eyes. Bboying at it's finest here.

Twixx wasn't at the US qualifier, but he was really key to MM winning the world final. He was so dynamic and clean in execution the whole jam scoring 5's and 4's in both categories. And he is such an intimidating bboy for opposing crews.

MM was smart. They understood the key to winning was using routines (like Jinjo) so you can have Thesis, Jeromeskee and Twixx out there as much as possible. Jinjo should've had Wing come out more. He is their ace in the hole.

Thank you R16 for the most exciting bboy battle I have seen in YEARS!!!

[thegreif]

Getting tired at how almost EVERYONE falsely points out that Octopus crashes when he does his elbow flare suicide.
ITS NOT A CRASH PEOPLE CHRIST.

[AnythingAmazingAlex]

In my opinion, both Thesis and Wing are probably one of the top bboys in the world. Its not easy to judge both bboys when they have their own originality and style. They both deserve the same amount of respect as well as the rest of the bboying community.

One of the best battles I've seen in a minute. Wing and Thesis went off!

[Chalvind]

wing got the highest score from these match..musicality/foundation 3, originality 5, dynamics 5, execution 5, battle strategy 5.. IDK why born only scored 3 points to this set.. honestly this is the best set i've ever seen from Jinjo

[MrJohnnyYang]

I like how Thesis just comes out of nowhere in the beginning and throws down a beasty ass set lol

[jasontyoon]

wing deserves a 4 for foundation in his 1st set

[JungHa]

Holy crap both teams are so damn good. I think they are like the top 2 groups in this R16 Korea 2012

[GlenClash]

every wing's set in this battle was totally insane! I couldn't find anyone else outshining his performance.

[chubbywhitewhite]

we love you wing:))) from Philippines

[seymourglass]

I've never seen Thesis get as aggressive as he did toward Octopus. This was a wild battle.

[KRNlegend]

You don't see MM a lot because they aren't as active as other international crews. It's pretty hard for crews in the US to actually get a large squad together for events like UK, BOTY, and R16. That's why you see them enter 2 v2 and 3 v3s more.

It's not that they DON'T win. It's cause they don't have the time to prepare for big events.

[readthispleaseify]

Anyone know who the bboy is at 5:24? he seems pretty underrated for that amazing set

[zingking]

bboying is becoming the new boxing. people will start going to battles to watch with everyones eyes on the platform. pretty amazing

[RizkyFTW]

what's the name of the bboy who did the first piece with thesis?

[Anbaro]

This is an honest question because I'm fairly new to all of this: what's the point of a team battle if they're not supposed to do routines? Bboys stock moves up all the time to bust out in battles. Just how much of it is truly improv?

[dopeboyzzz]

man what were you doing in the hotel afterwards though? i heard you got banned from r16 =/

[r.zulueta]

To this very day, Wing's 2000s still amaze me.
