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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

can you tell when please? i haven't seen thesis much so i dont know his moves.

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

Dude I wish they were all there. But I don't get why thesis is with mm? Was it just for r 16?

King so can do everything, but how can pocket receive 5 for originality and foundation? Do you know where is that battle I want to see it

Someone please tell us the name of the first song! :\

Is there anyway to get the music mix they used? I know R16 releases them once in a while

Is that a band playing in the background?

btw, where was hong10? why he wasnt there?

Sorry about that comment was drink last night. But are you saying hong 10 doesn't dance?

does, anyone knows the music or soundtrack .?

Is wing the guy in Green?

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?

what song at 08:36 dude ? plis.. i need it ! :) respect ~

Can somebody tell me the crew members' names? Im confused by the gear they wore here and what they actually use to wear right now

who is the winner????

One of the best battles I've seen! Thesis killing it like always!

First song please!!!

wing deserves a 4 for foundation in his 1st set

we love you wing:))) from Philippines

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

anyone know the first song?

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

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

what song at 7:15 please ?

Like Orb said after the battle.. this was the final or should be the final.

1st and last song?

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

Soundtrack of the entire video pls :) thanks

what the bboys name from jinjo crew that first performs?

6 40 song please¡¡¡???

song at 8:37 plz???????

Wing's set receives same amount of points as the man in the red hat?

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

please song

Born was judging two categories Musicality and Foundation. Which do you think took Foundation? Musicality?

what about a foundation score ? ( 3 point all round )

1 trek plees ??? первый трек самый первый пожалуйста название

@bboysoy at least he can give 4 right ? many of them has follow the music tho not all the time..

THIS BATTLE IS TOOOOO NASTY!!!!!!best ive seen in awhile

3:24 Somebody shouted GO WING!

Name of the song 1:38 ?

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

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

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

Song at 10:06?

Best battle i have ever seen!!!!!

Oh hell yeah, that needs to happen for sure; I didn't realize their style was so similar until I saw this battle. When they both get turned up, their complexity along with the execution goes way up.

that end of the battle with everyone coming closer and closer to fe in anticipation was awesome.

first song plis

rivalry between thesis and jinjo has just reached new levels

what a first song ?

They were on ABDC.... but were world champion bboys and respected highly in the bboy community as pioneers long before they were on that show....

OMFG Thesis can push any team over the top, his 1st was insane. This battle was far to crazy, both teams came with so much style and energy. Battle truly could have went either way best battle of the year for me!

WOW never in my life have a I seen 2 crew battle each other so hard.

BBOYS ARE AWESOME. enough to proud

Most of you people need to stop hating. Seems like a lot of you forgot that the "R" in R16 stands for respect. Just enjoy the competition and give respect and props to the crews who entered, the judges. Honestly? I think most of the e-boys here are just favoring for Jinjo because they are the top at the moment. They aren't the only good crew, you know what i'm saying? If you think you can judge better than the judges in R16 then you are dead wrong. Peace, Love, Respect from the East Coast.

First song please tell me

truer words never spoken my friend

dude they're one of the best crews out

Also whats with Vero pushing the dude at the end?

Whats up with Juse Boogie he dont battle no more?

This is Massive Monkees plus one other Seattle bboy (Thesis). Would you call Jinjo + Hong10, dream team Korea?

This was a dope battle!!

ahhhh BEST BATTLE OF 2012 SO FAR!! MORE PROPS TO O.U.R. SYSTEM!!!

and who are you?

8:38 song?

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.

it's not musicality, it's the foundation category. encompasses more than just music ability

3:00 song?

THIS should have been the FINALS ROUND!!! GOT DAMN!!!!

Intense battle! Props to both Crews

nice battle

wait, how did jinjo crew get into the finals if they lost this round? o-o

Thesis is one of the most Underrated Bboy's out there. I think he destroyed Jinjo. MM won.

This battle was RAW

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

I would love to see the O.U.R. System used in Red Bull B.C. One in the future. It would shed some light on who is a well balanced bboy and it would convince me that the event is not entirely about the sport but also the dancing aspect of it. I think the casual viewers would start to understand what bboying is and that it is no just about the dynamics.

So much hype. Crowd is so energetic.

best battle R16

R16 es lo mejor

Sonnnnngs please!!!!!!!!!???

bboy wing?

real nice battle

another awesome battle. guy in green tshirt for Jinjo owned everybody.

Nasty battle! props to the DJ, music was on point!

amazing

This definitely should have been the final battle..

That was bananas...Jinjo won imo

Also the guy before Twixx crashed on that backwards head flip, and Twixx responded and did it perfectly

dope battle holy fuck, both crews were strong and on point

SOUNDTRACKS!SOUNDTRACKS! PLEASEEEEEE!

whats the song @9:00?? dope ass fuck

the o.u.r judging system is a step up. my only complaint is that it seems to have taken away from the crew aspect alittle and moved the dynamic of a battle to more solo skills.
