b-boy blond did slow-airflare at 2001 (when issei was 4year old kid) that's why blond was laughing when issei showed copy sign to him

[ZenYoungKoh]

IMO, Foundation- Blonde. Originality- Blonde. Dynamics- Issei. Execution- Blond Battle- Blonde

[JamesSoohyun]

Absolute fail when Issei called biting for Blonde's slow airflares loll Blonde was known for those

[jttrinh]

Blond was just fucking with Issei LOL!

[philip]

FYI, Issei admitted that he even thought he lost and was surprised with the results of R16 2013.  Search R16 2014 interviews.

I lol' hard when Blonde was gesturing having a broom and sweeping Issei lol.

[jhcardini]

Slow air-flare is Blond's original move he did it so long long ago. Early in 2000s. Issei is too young to know it. So he did the copy sign to Blond.

[diseasefire]

blonde won clearly... take a look at the categories... he should have won battle and originality but he didn't, .. so the real result should have been 3-2 with blonde winner (and by the way i think foundation was a tie so maybe even 3-1) ROBBERY

[Kongloshaa]

LOL right when Issei called bite on the slow airflares, i had a connection with blonde, we laughed at the same thing at the same time! Hahaha

[SpiritShinobi]

I think the best part is when Blond laughs and questions Issei bite sign and is like "I was doing 2000s before you were born son" on 2:14

damnnnn
totally feel like blonde won on foundation, dynamics, originality, and battle.  like chicken noodle said, he did get sloppy though.  what a shame.  blonde is so fresh!

Top 10 anime villains that would have won if it weren't for plot armor

[MrExpression]

What the hell was with the judging system. Blond took that

[aNdyThAoSta]

Both are really good. Blonde's pretty much a legend and most people would occasionally use that in favor of blonde, but overall Blonde took this match by a mile, maybe even two. Both were really on point. Issei does do a lot of halos, but he still kills it. This match I would really say should've went to Blonde.

[chickennoodlesoup]

Blond had better moves and Issei is kinda repetitive with the halos and mills. Blond only lost cause he got sloppy in his last rounds.

[corng]

Even tho personally I think Blond won, That doesn't downgrade Issei at all! The kid is a beast ! And he was only like 16 when this happened? Kid is bout to run the bboy scene with pocket ! ... Shit gets me Excited dam

[fjfhnecn]

before i see that score board i couldn't understand why blond lost. but now i understand. OUR system was right. guys, we only remember the afterimages of big scale therefore we can barley focus on every part of bboying. but judges on OUR system, they only concentrate on their part for judging they don't care for rest side so they can capture the details that we can't. if you think still blond got robbed, just imagine you're the judge for one of categories once and evaluate that battle again.

[raybenjaminl]

Issei's legs when he does those windmills xD Awesome

[kidoryuta]

lol just tell this to these judges:

- Ronnie (USA) - Execution
- Wing (Korea) - Originality
- Icey Ice (USA) - Dynamics
- Lamine (France) - Cypher Battle
- Fever One (USA) - Foundation

i think they know exactly what is good!
in my opinion issei got soul and that's why he won

[BboyYellowFlash]

Great battle, i really enjoyed it. Two of my favorite bboys and experience vs young talent is always fun to watch. So glad we have youtube now to watch all of these great battles.
