Taisuke is the cleanest Bboy out there but his short rounds let him down and another thing to be applauded is the stamina and content of Hong 10. I honestly can't seem to let go of this generation of Bboys, the golden generation I believe...Lilou, Taisuke, Hong 10, Wing, Lil G, Roxrite, Neguin, Victor, Junior etc to name some from the''golden generation''!!

This was Bboy Taisuke final BC One because he announced his retirement from this competition. It's sad that he never won it but either way he is one of the best bboys and I have nothing but respect for him!

[krumbs]

you see the brotherhood between the two of them from behind the scenes become more apparent here. Hong10 blowing a kiss at the end of the first round but Taisuke responding saying that if he's retiring this year, he has to show the world how fierce he really is, that if it's his last battle, he wants it to be memorable and with his best moves. Hong10 respectfully responded by bringing out his moves, combos and sets as well. even at the end, Hong10 hugged him dearly. this was a bittersweet battle.

Why did taisuke retire? He was only 26 years old in this

[cognacyang]

been waiting for this battle in a decade... made props to both which are my favorites...

[cageman]

No need to feel bad for Taisuke, he did his best here, and with or without a title he will always be legendary. That being said if he does decide to return for another BC One someday I hope he'll come back with longer sets.

[pizzahizza]

The look on Taisuke's face when the camera panned to him applauding Issei after his win made me feel really bad for him

[bluerat]

Thought taisukes rounds were better quality and cleaner, regardless if they're shorter

[DegiLatino]

One of the sickest battles of the BC One final.... Hong10 was just on fire

[rockisrealmusic]

Only if he had a good stamina he could've easily been a champion. I feel he should try again just one more time... Please one more year taisuke pleaseeee 😖😞😭

[jacketofficial]

taisuke, my favorite 2 win this year, 😭😭😭

[QUAKECITYROCKER]

Bc one won't be the same without Taisuke. I hope he still battles in the future. He is one of the best of all time. Wish he did his criticals or 2000 set vs hong 10. Props to Hong 10 For still going strong after all these years.

[ShaneNagy]

Taisuke reminds me of kakashi with his stamina and level of badass lol

[selecta]

Taisuke has short sets, yes, but the speed and difficulty of his moves make it harder to have longer rounds. Yeah he can make it longer but he could be sacrificing the cleanliness (quality) of his sets. I'd rather have his short and sweet sets rather than having him have sloppy long sets. Thank you for motivating me to dance since 2006, we will miss you!

[Neptunn]

Even with these short rounds Taisuke should have won! These rounds were super clean, musicality and fresh from Taisuke.But the main reason is that Hong10 crashed in every round a lot. Plz open eyes guys. A lot crashes from Hond10.That's why 2/3 VOTED for Taisuke! Taisuke could easily win final because he saved his major moves and combos. I'm fan of these two legends, but after this battle i felt sad and watched next battles without any interest. Hong10 is 2 times champ, he did impossible, but Taisuke is not winner, Hope he will come back and

[XLU-vtky]

WOO when Hong gets serious it dose make difference... I love them both. Even, as he said Taisuke's rounds are way too short but man, Taisuke does progress a lot (compared to those rounds back to 2014) ! That's amazing. No matter Taisuke's gonna participate bcone or not he is always my hero !!

[rufusw]

The main Taisuke's enemy always was stamina.

[ApoMelon]

taisuke has short, but super clean rounds. Not a single slip up
hong 10 had minor slip ups in all of his rounds and two noticeable crashes in his last one. but his rounds were way longer and were more dynamic
could have gone either way.

[teacmrocks]

taisuke did awesome but hong10's sig moves are unique

[VinsaceTamogatchi]

I can't get over Hong 10 sprinting up to the stage
