- B-Boy Pocket and B-Boy Bruce Almighty face-off in the 2015 Red Bull BC One World Final in Rome.
Red Bull BC One is the most important one-on-one B-Boy competition in the world. Every year, thousands of dancers across the globe vie for a chance to represent at the World Final. Sixteen B-Boys will earn the right to enter into an all-out battle on the Red Bull BC One stage, but only one will be crowned the champion.
One day Pocket is going to blow all our minds by throwing down a full round of just footwork lol
"One day" XDDD
manuel chavira ... m impatiently waiting for that day
It’s gonna be hella weird tho seeing him do footwork
That day is far away, looking at how good his powermoves are right now and how he is still adding new moves to his sets and how he almost never crashes
The most I’ve seen pocket do is the six steps
even pockets slow-mo airflares are faster than anyone else's airflares lol
+James Oh You look like Vanoss.you know that?
Pocket is such a respectful bboy! He always gives props to what deserves props even if it is an intense competition. I have way more respect for him after watching him in BC One.
Yeah you're right. He had a nice character
Bruce's sets were so dope.
He has many tricks
i don't understand why pocket who invested an infinity of time in his powermoves , doesn't invest 5% of his time into a bit of footwork foundation ? i mean he can top rock, so why not footwork too ? even if it's just some of that "look i can do footwork too" that issei does after he is done flying in almost every round, nothing to brag about, but it does complete you as a bboy, it's really too bad, imagine pocket doing some footwork variations, it would certainly help him a lot, it helps issei and it helped lil G too, powermoves alone can't win you a bc one, or as a matter of fact any major bboy competition....
+amine messai Pretty sure he won WPS 2015 with just power moves.
+MilkBookPro Yea Wps also known as World POWER MOVE SERIES lol
+Patrick Singkhoumkhong and? you see people doing some footwork before jumping into their power sets. gtfo bro.
+amine messai This is what some of you seem to forget. This is a dance. The dance is the most important. Now regarding Pocket doing powermoves? There are b-boys that stick with just footwork and leg work. Pocket likes power and toprock. But here is the thing. He wins battles. Whether it's power move battle or b-boy battle. He wins. AND he does his powermoves and freezes ON BEAT. So pocket is fine doing what he does. It's working. So why fix something that isn't broken? That's what he wants to do. Powermoves are so difficult to do to the beat, be original and not get tired. Pocket is challenging himself and the guy rarely messes up on the most difficult element in breaking in terms of physical strength and stamina
+B-boy StuntZ iv been dancing since 1989, i don't forget that this is a dance, and pocket is closest to a gymnast than he is to a dancer, those bboys that stick to footwork, not a single one of them has ever made it to a bc one final, never mind winning one or any major competition, unless it's a footwork competition, same for power movers,.
Pocket is not winning battles, therefore it's not working, name me any non power competition he won, the only reason he is even here is because he was invited as a wild care by bc one in order to spice things up, he never had a chance to begin with. pocket is an asset in his crew, he is very useful in crew competitions because he adds the "over powering" elements to his crew, therefore his crew can win with his help, however as a solo competitor, he hasn't won anything unless it's a power battle.. because it gets boring after a while, he is only a problem in the first round or two, afterwards his limitations start to be too much of a burden for him, we get it he can fly, but there is more to this dance.
The smart ones, like issei (who is now evolving into a complete bboy) understood the need for incorporating other elements of the dance in order to win competitions, even basic footwork can help balance things a bit, he started by doing some generic 2 and 3 steps after his power sets, it was almost funny but it did win him competitions, today he has more musicality his footwork is pleasing to watch, and he is now mixing power and style flawlessly , it's still not perfect because he still lakes originality but its working for him.
and yes powermoves are difficult to the with the beat, hitting a freeze once in a while (sometimes with the help of the DJ or out of pure luck) isn't dancing to the music. you can't dance to the music while being on your "hands" 100% of the time, that being said.. my arguments are valid for someone who is interested in winning solo competitions, if pocket thinks that being true to himself means he only wants to do power, and he is happy to be an asset in his crew, i'd say go for it, that is the be respected and appreciated of course.
The first time I saw Pocket dancing was 2009 at the IBE. I saw his attitude, thinking he would be kinda arrogant and full of himself like some bboys, But luckily he has become much more respectful. Always praises his opponents, touches hands in between and after a battle. With that attitude and those incredible moves, he deserves to be in the final 4 best bboys.
quang nguyen I agree that it's interesting he turned out to be pretty humble... Top 4... Yes
I think lil kev just triggered him back then at IBE and he wanted to show him he's not the dude you want to mess with. Also, he had to make a statement, being probably his first time on a stage that big at such a prestigious event.
Andrei Vernic Lil Kev is...very triggering
Bruce is doing something completely different, its awesome to watch
.Big up to pocket. One of the best power movers
NizzyNizerson. Even if you call him a gymnast that certainly wasn’t low level
pocket has insane moves, but man you need some toprock and footwork out there bro? u cant headspin all the way to the top man.
if you headspin, you're already a top
Pocket has the cleanest and quickest power moves, but he’s best suited for group battles
2:26 that face just says it all. "I got this"
Pocket destroys crew battles.. i'm not too sure about solo battles
yeah indeed but it's really unexpected to see him went to semifinal.
Rofl!! 0:41 Pocket like, "I know I lost this round."
+Eren Jaeger
actually , that move doesn't impress me .
it's not that hard in technicality .
^
Hedi Fariat
compare to the moves Pocket did , his moves is not that technical .
for me pocket won .
+darren hsu Pocket was damn repeating his moves since the first round. BREAKING AINT JUST ABOUT POWER MOVES
^
pocket has no toprock, and or footwork. that's over 50% of what the judges watch. Bruce had all 3 plus style which is a win.
both did amaizin pocket needs footwork to win finals
1:56 move of the year
PTMR XD
Dificulty 10 / 10 super power move
I believe that one day bboys will understand that breakdance isn’t the gymnastic only
Numerous bboys understand that
Big fan of pocket but the guy really needs to work on something other than powermoves. Tho Bruce Almighty was insane, clear winner!
Pocket lacks variety, Bruce had it all
DJ marrrtin with his dope breaks. When will it be released?
Next week apparently, he told on his FB account
Mika L Yeah i've seen it :D
Damn... Bruce killed me from 0:23 to 0:40
Same man
I think we can all agree that Pocket is the best powermover in the history of bboying, what a beast!
+rospoho definitely
pocket was smoked by c-lil
pocket was smoked by c-lil
+Ronaldo T Losing one battle doesn't make less good, this is not boxe where guys win 50 matches in a row.
Not at all
Pocket's skill and ability border on the supernatural. But the only flaw I see in his performance is that he tends to do the same or similar moves over and over. Whereas Bruce Almighty was mixing in a lot more variety in his performance.
One of the cutest yet brutal battle to watch
Bruce was smart and knew his opponent..usually Bruce does hardly any power moves in a lot of his sets but just to make sure he covered all his bases he threw them in like look at all my style and I can do that too..automatic win facing someone like pocket
A t first I thought this was kids battle hahaha respect to both of them :)
Bruce Almighty is original, his power tricks footwork and toprock is nice. Pocket just power moves, not enough for win
song?. como se llaman las canciones?
pocket's repeating the same tape, that explains his lost
Just doing the same or similar power moves over and over again is not enough. You must be versatile.
props to Bruce Almighty. And u guys need to know that doing powermoves every single round with that combos and ridiculuos speed like bboy Pocket is nearly impossible. Big respect for litte Pocket!
1:40 LOL 😂
I used to go to a BBoy club back in high school, and I had a friend that would do only powermoves. There are many that do that but they need to learn footwork/groundwork
People comment on why Pocket doesn't invest time in footwork and top-rock but I find that's what makes him unique. I think it's great what Pocket is doing; he likes practicing and performing super speed power. He is an example of "if you do what you enjoy
you can become the best". It doesn't matter if the society may not recognize your hard work but I find that if you are the world best at something, you accomplished something very meaningful in your life and your name will be remembered in history. Don't get scared or influenced or bothered by the 'society' expectations and norm. 'Unique' ones will be always remembered. Now, Pocket may not win Red Bull BC One title but he will win the question "Who is the world's fastest powermover?".
One of Bruce his finest. He is so damn good! Pocket is impressive, but you know what he does after watching him 3 times.
If this was about speed, pocket would win hands-down. This guy's rotations are so fast it's hard to count sometimes. Seriously his moves can be used to generate electricity.
what is the first music/track please?
Someone know where I can find the t-shirt of Pocket, pls???
How often do you see Pocket clapping for his opponent's powermove?
Always
pocket in slo-mo is like how fast everyone else does their airflares
bruce got everything . thats why pocket loose here. but gotta giv e props to pocket guys he's a power move and have to go 3 round in each battle which is really freaking tired. he maded this far is enough for me
people talking about how pocket should practice footwork, but any time invested elsewhere is guaranteed to have him lose that precision. His approach lets him commit more - win with powermoves - that you just worry about execution, difficulty
These two are absolute beasts.
1sr song?
I can't believe Pocket made it to the semis. I actually had a much nicer day knowing that LOL.
Is it because this event focus on versatile more than technic ?
что за трэк в конце играет когда показывают их финты
Where we still have respect and unity in the world. Big up all bboys
1:53 dope!
brasileiro, mas fã do bruce ! original.
I've been bboying since 2005 and I still don't understand why they allow full time powerheads like pocket, cico, marcio, and The End enter 1 on 1's. Especially prestigious competitions like BOTY, UK, and Red Bull. They're phenomenal at what they do, but they seem like fillers at this point. They should pre-screen the Bboys and see if they have at least 12 solid sets without repeating. Allot of great well rounded bboys are left out because of these "fillers".
i think bruce almighty took this round for sure. character, musicality, unique moves. You honestly have to separate yourself from all other bboys.
Dont get me wrong i love Pocket. He's a beast, his level and speed of powermoves is like no other. But to win 1 on 1 breakDANCING. I think you do need to actually DANCE. Hit the Music. Pocket can hit the beats with power. I just didnt really see it in this battle.
In a powermove battle pocket would of taken this easy. But sadly thats not what "Redbull Bc One" is.
How about pocket vs wing whos won on this battle
what pocket is better :(
at powermoves. and only at powermoves.
song ?
Dj marrrtin- sombre
I think Bruce referenced one of pocket's OLD moves, ya know? I think I remember seeing it before...
has anyone seen pocket doing footworks?
yes.
@@mihailpisarov6849 ok.
Why doesn't pocket use his old set.Where he puts hit leg into his shirt and switch legs while doing halos
1:34 lol
Even they do the slow mo pocket still look fast as hell
1:52 best set ever
outstanding moves pocket even he doesn't have footwork and only a little bit of toprock he has powerwork
If technical footworks is work more than powermove haha
Songs?
good battle!
4:42 song??
is it just me or is pocket trying not to laugh 0:44
toprock and pocket aren't best friend
Ah pocket could be a top b-boy (not in powers only) if he would practise some style.. I could imagine what kind of footwork he would do.. Im sure it would be soo fast too ^^
Na his legs are to short for fast footwork, he's gifted with being short and mostly torso making his rotations faster kinda like a top, that usually doesn't translate to speed of footwork
even in the slow motion afterwards, pocket is still so fast on his hands
El chinito es extraordinario esta para jinasta d juegos olimpicos pero e visto barios videos del compitiendo y lo malo q tiene es q esta rutina q esta en este duelo es calcada a las demás q e visto como 5 carese d repertorio y aparte q es pasado d moda se vee mui retro ante sus ribales
I can't believe Pocket made it this far -_-
smh you people dont even break and youre saying "moves learned in only months" its not just a "move" its a channel of swagger and attitude through your body. bruce won for sure. pocket def shouldnt have made it as far as he did. you cant win with just power and pocket barely mixes his flares its almost the same set. bruce came in like a goof and really put a stamp on his brand of b boy. pocket is down right nasty with the power and someone here said if he focuses on foot work he would lose precision elsewhere. i totally agree with that. but bruce won fair and square by at least 2 sets. pocket needs footwork and a stamp other than power.
Bruce is a technical beast.
No offense, but i think pocket would look weird doing foot work. His legs look so stiff. imo he should stick with powermoves and just stay in crew battles.
I think the reason that his legs look stiff is that he wear tight pants almost every battle.
acho bem estranho essa Red Bull BC One, devia ser Powermove vs Powermove e Footwork vs Footwork, quer botar Powervermove contra Footwork vira bagunça e quem ganha é Footwork
concordo
+Lucas Ninxe Cara nao e batalha de Power vs Power nem Style vs Style, e uma Red bull o melhor do seu pais vai la e representa impendente do estilo de dança !
Concordo mas acho está batalha deveria ser mais equivalente para ambos os competidores
+alex Martins Sim
둘 다 잘했지만 브루스 올마이티가 좀더 섬세하고 다양한 무브를 했다고 생각함 그렇다고 포켓의 무브가 단조롭단건 아니지만 대체적으로 에어트랙을 기본으로 해서 변형시키는 동작이라 매 라운드가 비슷비슷한 느낌을 주긴 함
Pockets legs look like arms.
I admit pocket is good at what he does " but it gets boring watching him " he will loose any day to a good BBOY with style and creativity " that's why people don't even do that anymore " its just lame . back then in 1994 every one wanted to do this crazy combos , but now it just got old , creativity is what runs the show now.
Bruce Almighty best!
that the track plays at the end when they show their tricks
The judges were hating lol
물론, 포켓이 파워므브 최강이지만 파워므브로만 승부하기엔 단조로워 보입니다.고난이도 므브를 같은거 계속 보는 느낌이라고나 할까~스킬이나 아이탬들이 더 장착이 되어 여러가지 색다른 스킬을 보여주면 더 최고가 될듯 합니다.
pocket has the power moves but need to develope his footworks
Bruce e completo em tudo merecido,,!!:
aleluia um que concorda cmg pq geral ta ai falando que o pocket tinha ganhado essa kkkkkk
era pro bruce ganhar esse red bull mas foi roubado
@@AbraaoCastro não ele foi bem mas na final o Victor foi melhor do q ele claro q o Bruce ganhou essa Power move não ganha campeonato na final Victor amassou
@@empresario.219 victor fez nada de mais na final, bruce muito mais criativo
I guess the reason why Pocket got through to the semi finals is that the judges wanted to see if he can do some new stuff without being repetetive. For example Menno saved his moves to the next rounds but it in the end it seems like pocket pulled out all his stuff already against Kazuki and Menno. Bruce smashed him with his character, originality and executions. Come on.. Pocket go home and learn some footwork. Are we at the olympics ?! wtf. Funny how a guy can do so much complex stuff but doing some footwork is too much. Throughout his top rock i cant sense no musicality and no body rythm. Just a bit of headsmashing. He doesnt even try to do some footwork on the ground. When he went for the powermoves i was always like : not again (bored). Its like he thinks that powermoves are enough for being a bboy. But its not.
Pocket's legs is short.
not suitable to do footwork
+darren hsu it's wrong.
for example, bboy smurf is good bboy but he's also short
Pocket is like an upside-down whirling dervish!
Waths te name of the beat??
Pocket is one of these bboys, who can breaking only with head down, legs up ! Power moves is not bboyng it's only a part of it !
First song anyone?
DJ MARRRTIN - SOMBRE
Give it up for Pocket!!
Pocket is only about powermoves. Bruce is THE most creative bboy.
Name of the beat, pls...
BRUCCCEEEEEEEEE omg!!!!!!!! real MONSTER
Air flare, air flare, head spin, head spin, air flare, air flare, air flare
Pocket is sick for his powermoves but cm on why He didn't do some footwork :/
so refreshing to watch a battle without hearing annoying announcers state the obvious! :D thanks red bull.
I don't know why bruce & pocket (new comers in this competition) met in the same semi final and lil zoo & victor (incumbents) met in the same semi final.
it was "on purpose" as a dramatic battle ..
O pocket parece uma aerece de elicopitero. gira muito, mas só para um lado
BC on is like magic you chould be artist dance and braik in the same Tim to win
First song ?
