Red Bull BC One 2009 Kaku vs Cloud

[badabingluigi]

or we could put ur ass on blast with a gymnast ur choice...do what u love

[badabingluigi]

no disrespect to kaku and his power moves ...he does that great...but the musicality of breakdancing is lost...power isnt moving to the beat as much as style....cloud is style which is the main part of his dance he does power to come out of the beat and reengage it with style...power heads do what you like but r u sure ur dancing maybe u should take up parkour or something lol

[bossstatus911umad]

hahaha look at the black guy in the top left at 1:57. he gets so pissed because kaku clearly repeats the headspin. then he shows the repeat sign to all the amateur fans around him that seem to love power moves for some reason. kaku may be talented, but he will NEVER beat real bboys in a competition.

[Skullzr4me]

ya, this is the best I've seen cloud perform *bookmarked*

[BboyJustiLL]

OMG Cloud fucked shit UP! Bboy Kaku's headspin-2000 was beast but Cloud used the song and made it look GOOD!

[alexandrekillua]

Kaku's mistake: 1:42

Why: 2:16

[thestussykidsupreme]

wooooorrdd. Cloud has been on the bboy scene for like more than 10 years.

[MrHo16]

IMAGINE ACTUALLY BEING AT THAT BATTLE ....no words could describe that ....

[TheFatal214]

Just because u people saw Cloud on Step up 3 you think hes beast......im not saying hes not but dang you guysz think you know so much about him just because you seen the movie,,come on now there alot more others that already knew about cloud before that movie.....stop PRETENDING LIKE YOU KNOW SO MUCH>.<

[JorJorArmany]

CLOUD = AMAZE! step up 3, red bull bc one, celebrity dancer, ipod nano ads, UK bboy challenge and more... =O

[cheeseheadrulez4ever]

1:30 Cloud's foot nearly hit Kaku. xD

[hashytaka]

Kakau could win a headspin competition if he wanted to......

[DerKupplerMeister]

Dang, that King Spin is so cool....AND I HAVE NO IDEA ON HOW TO DO IT! D:

[yulongtan]

what a powerhouse

[cheeseheadrulez4ever]

Kaka's never heard of footwork aye??? He does the same "head spin" "head spin"

[JANOBBOY]

para que se matan entrenando si con dos nubesasos te ganan

[limitcszORblackwing]

Cloud didnt even have to try

[JBWKZFOREVER]

@limitcszORblackwing he didn't slow very much about bboying and every bboy must think and i think he thinks a lot before doin' somethin' because he knows lot of styles ....

[Xandaumbreak]

kaku wins !

[city424]

twajs =) kaku

[dishafreestyle]

Kaku ! you are fu*kin powerful but sorry CLOUD = SWAG

[bleachcaptainaizen]

kaku all he does is headspins and repetition and cloud brings style

[XxChillyxX2]

cloud is so amazing and sexy !! :D

[BboyDeLuX]

i just love the way kaku was like "FAK IT THE BEAT IS ON IM ON" AS SOON AS THE BEAT STARTED HE ENTERED I DO THE SAME THING TO WHEN I BATTLE I LOVE IT... PEACE

[metaknightx1]

kaku got power, cloud got style

[VVolare]

Was Kaku the only one the whole thing to come out full blast against someone without debating who goes first, or trying to talk shit?

[LikeHellaHellaLike]

Kaku looks really tall in this video, he must have grown since he last competed in the bc one.

[ashieboy1995]

@LikeHellaHellaLike nope he didn't lmao. my friend went to the most recent one and had a photo taken with Kaku. Kaku is only like 5'3 5'4 ish

[ashieboy1995]

@ThaliaCastellan King Spin but like there're no tutorials for that

[Krimzj]

Cloud has been one of my fav's since early 2000's. And he did not disappoint. Being there was awsome.

[strikerr007]

cloud is a great actor ;s

[ChrisCielo]

CLOUDS SPIN BEATS ANY HEADSPIN!

[bboyNicolle]

what the! i dont get it

how come kaku lose

yes i respect that he lacks foundation

or whatever

but the thing is he throw those monsterous power moves

its like powemove the fullest defeated by style not to the fullest

yes cloud's style is clean but its still breaks my heart

its like im dissaponted to become a powermeover

[ChrisCielo]

@bboyNicolle bro he would of won if he had a little style not style moves but style his stiff shit if he danced a little put some top rock and not do the same old heapspins he could of won.

[l31zon2]

@bboyNicolle The reason is:

He just depend his power move and no footwork and top rock

He didnt got style like Cloud

During the battle,he do same move --''

AND THE BeST REASON IS

Cloud is fuking imbalance xD(that is my opinion ,dont fuck me plz)

[smhvito]

@l31zon2 no thats not the reason. Cloud's style is just way more unique than Kaku's amazing power. It was an even battle of style vs power, but Cloud just did his best. Kaku did some decent toprock too :p

[Sneperd]

2:50 kaku hella flinches when cloud kicks at him haha!

[GamerDoubleJ]

its either kaku is small, or cloud is really tall, or both .__. haha.

[Laci4465]

@GamerDoubleJ

Actually, both are very short, but Kaku is EXTREMELY short. Cloud is still way below average.

[KERTH111]

@Laci4465

Yo wtf, are you f serious? Cloud is 173 cm tall, I don't think it's "way below average", it's kinda like above actually (while average is about 170).

[Laci4465]

@KERTH111

The "average" is hard to specify (check Wikipedia: human height) but it is rather around 180 cm for healthy, young males in developed countries with universal or at least good health care. I think 6-7 cm is "a lot" when it comes to height, as most of the people are within a +/-10 cm range around the average.

For Kaku's height, check KAKU & YOSHI vs KILL & POCKET Chelles Battle, when he stands next to that little child... :)

[2buck4dH8rz]

wtf kaku is tiny

[SoMuchBetter5]

@2buck4dH8rz

kaku is tiny and Cloud is large. Thats from this effect)

[bryanpexter2]

@livinthereality thanx man

[bryanpexter2]

man cloud thanx 4 yo syles but kaku won>>>>>

[NnjaSteve]

it seem as if style beats power...

[SNEAKaBOO26]

This battle . . . . . . Is intense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! Kaku has improved from the last time I saw him, but looks he need more practice in order to beat someone like CLOUD!!!!!!!! Just my opinion

[BboyApex51]

people need to stop preaching and thinking they know everything about breaking. =_____=

nobody can tell another bboy what to do. sheesh. let him do power if he wants to do power.

[bryanpexter2]

@BboyApex51 thanx man

[XMAiNsaNiTyTKD]

@BboyApex51 right on man...there's to many know-nothings that think they know it all...being a bboy is about being you, if you're only doing what everyone else says, then you're not really bboying...i only been doing this for about a year, and i already realize that!!!

[MegaMrObvious]

@BboyApex51 Kaku might be good at power moves, but in terms of style, he has none. He does 0 footwork in this battle and occasional top rock, then goes into another power move that is completely off beat.

[disaznboii19148]

@MegaMrObvious Kaku's toprock is mad dope, I dont' know what you're talking about.

His powers are his style.

[FuckingSanDiegoKids]

power moves dont always win.

[MegaXxx69xxx]

Da kid repeats too much

[wrobe00011]

Powermoves can't beat Style!!!

[jockercyril]

cloud a vraiment un style de malade... peut être moins "spectaculaire", mais vraiment énorme le bonhomme !

[dadwolv]

cloud won no question, but kaku is something else with those head spins. If he did a couple cc's and maybe an airchair, he'd be a force to reckon

[menezkiasa123]

ang gulo naman

[TheGeri2010]

cloud's second round should be taught in the textbook of bboying

[Tatsuki237]

Haha I love how Cloud perfectly matches the music of Beggin

[3154895404]

Cloud's spin move is so awesome.

[Pr0x1mo]

@3154895404 The Dirk Diggler Spin

[MrTheChompiras]

kaku is better but he played bad in this one, he show to much skill more than the necesary...

[byrdinflight]

I honestly don't know how Kaku finds his way back to his side of the stage after two rounds of that

[CarlosBeans55]

Kaku is so boring to watch. Cloud keeps you entertained.

[friendfantas]

Cloud style is real dancing!

I saw him in step up 3D he is so amazing!

[ashieboy1995]

@friendfantas too bad they didn't film him properly

[Iguitar212]

@friendfantas they are both "real dancing"

[bboymiau]

Cloud is so good he sucks !

[rororicecake]

i kinda feel like kakus power and his headspins is his style XD

cloud took the battle tho props to him :D

[ameer2109]

Im more of a powermover fan, but honestly, Cloud really took it when i saw his style

[Akuma31er]

for my opinion i dont like too much footwork its getting boring after a while i like baeks style he has got style and good moves not just only style or only moves :D

[kenjibum23]

@Akuma31er I disagree on the footwork part getting boring. it really depends who you watch. But i do agree on Baek, He's so dope! and the best part is, he's so humble!

[thabreaka]

HAHAHa I didnt catch what cloud did the first time on 00:55. He told kaku to take off his ear plugs & dance to the beat. Damn, I just love how bboying is a universal language.

[DAANHUNEN]

Cloud's style is so awesome!!!! but i gotta say kaku's tricks were also very sick... But w/e clous is 4sure the best here :D

[demoncstrike]

CLOUD;; GODLIKE!

[13rAdJa13]

kaku = just doing practiced power moves.... respect him though

cloud = is dancing to the beat

[lowlowcruzer]

Did anyone else hear the DJ scratching on sync with clouds spins? 2:36-2:37

[thabreaka]

@lowlowcruzer

Yeah thats dj DP1 one for ya! He's a sick bboy jam DJ. look up his bboy mix "bboy burial" its pretty dope.

[fooblet]

@lowlowcruzer now that you mention it i do! wow thats pretty good

[thejascamshow]

thx for the song titles man!

[0oS13o0]

cloud is pure dance ahahahaha kaku is dope technically but naw its all cloud on this one

[demoncstrike]

too much better if kaku walks with his head.

[dromeblaster48]

:O kaku was born doin flares n mills lmfao

[Xepp375]

Clouds so goofy lmao. love him though

[stillclaimndp]

Sick. Kaku is amazing but take a lesson from Flying Buddha; he realized that you have to add dancing into your "breakdancing" if you want to win multiple bboy battles... Kaku's moves are so next level that they are hard to really process/comprehend, if he transitions them into more holistic sets he could be unbeatable... His physical abilities are untouchable but his presentation leaves something to be desired hence Cloud's ability to win this with character, dancing, and "easier" power moves...

[pspnichol]

@SladkyPersik you know nothing ..

[DanielKeithMorrison]

Kaku improved ALOT. Shout outs to Kaku.

[BBoyMerciless]

I wanna see Cloud Vs Wing.

[elnanito13]

does anyone know the name of the move that cloud does at 2:37??

[juicydonut]

@elnanito13

its his own move

[thabreaka]

@elnanito13

He did a butterfly twist and then does a 360 spin off of the landing foot. Ive never seen this combination b4 so Id give cloud credit for that. The first part of it is a martial arts flip.

[elnanito13]

@thabreaka

Aight bro thank you i appreciate it

[kiiro90]

im ordinary boy, i never did bboing.But, WHY Cloud won, could somebody tell me? ... is it, that he has uniqe style, or why?...

[MisterBboyHolo]

@kiiro90 yeah unique style, and he brought some good moves. .kaku brought no style or originality. .just tricks.

[pspnichol]

@kiiro90 its because cloud is actually dancing to the music ... kaku is just doing tricks and powermoves ... it's not about who could be more acrobatic ... it's about who dances better .. and spinning on ur head for 30 seconds is not dancing

[iiiPosEiDoNxX]

Cloud is tha Junk, no lie

whatever his style is, I want it

[mrlarzman1]

if no one knows this but cloud is amazing at headspins he can do them for just as long if not longer

[shadowarrior13ify]

2:30-3:00 cloud smash him so cool style }:>

[MrLevicrz]

he is short!

[goeats11]

pussy ass floor hugger

[gabbo89a]

2:36...i also got this move..but i invented it by myself,does it have a name?

[BBoyLazarus920]

Cloud's best battle of BC One... He absolutely DESTOYED kaku in this one... starting with taking out the ear plugs after kaku's first set... to that DIRTY kick to the face in HIS first set... to the intro of his madcon piece and of course his signature move... that DIRTY spin... and of course him doin the headspin... CLEANER THAN KAKU!!! WHAT A BEAST!!!

[lilfella106]

@BBoyLazarus920 i believe hes a much better bboy... but cleaner headspins?... lol kakus headspin is like his 6 step

[BBoyLazarus920]

@lilfella106 cloud hit a straight lateral drill headspin without as much freakin preparation and sicing that kaku has to do... It was faster, it had a BIGGER IMPACT in the battle, and it flowed a lot better with his steps, that x marks the spot kinda deal... just cuz he does it a lot doesn't make him the master of it lol

[lilfella106]

@BBoyLazarus920 i fully understand what your getting at... but kaku doesnt need preparation he just does moves transitioning to give him more power... kaku can headspin to the point where hes literally stopping... clouds headspin was nice & hes good at it too... but it wasnt cleaner... what also made it hot was because it came from nowhere like if it was kaku it wouldve been a different story because he does it all the time

[RIPTINY2293]

the 2nd song isnt the frankie valli one, its the madacon one.

[tthanhvann]

what the song ?

[pedromtp]

too much style for kaku he sould have kept those sets for lilou

[M0ONB0Y]

YES! I agree with this!

[sonytamir]

No Doubt About It Cloud and Hong 10 are the best bboys ever!!! the thing i like about cloud is that he kills with style that's mainly how i battle, man this guy is awesome

[turtleboat]

that twirling move by cloud reminded me of bboy issue.

on another note, kaku vs. flying buddha would've been tight!

[lulzimi]

hahaha oh man cloud is crazy, 2:50 -> he does that move as the songs goes "shadow of my life", its just perfect!

[pspnichol]

Fabby2717139:

yes, but u know what i mean right?

[NinjaAssassinX]

at 2:35, I almost dropped my laptop cause that was freakin' sweet.

[TheWhinter]

Cloud didn't even need to go that far to beat Kaku. Too much style...

[aznminibang]

a styler wons a power move bboy, thats tight

[yoouuking]

kaku was , better , cloud won becouse hes from USA

[pspnichol]

yoouuking:

im assuming ur still a noobie bboy, coz u get amazed by simple power rather than real dancing

[BBoyLazarus920]

its so great that cloud drilled a headspin to call out kaku... and honestly... it was cleaner than his hahaha...

[bboyamir1]

kaku was much better in thius one

I don`t understand how cloud won!!!

??

[ChillyWillyF00]

Cloud won because he had variety, which Kaku lacked. No hate against Kaku though, I can't do those headspin combos.

[BBoyLazarus920]

@bboyamir1 cuz you're not a real bboy lol... bboys needa stop cisin power and go back to fundamentals...

[Qurash]

2:50 - 2:53 look at Cloud

"Shadow of my life was hangin over me"

dope haha

[BBoyLazarus920]

@Qurash moment killer... hes so great at em

[punksoulY]

2:35 crazy move!

[SuperCruzzz]

super realyyyy

[chris0python]

2:36 is mesmerising

[Akuma31er]

kaku was way better but the judges arent interested in powermoves ... they look after footwork stylez and that easy shit

[DARTHFLVA]

easy style?

yooo i know a bunch of kids who break for about 2 months and get like 10 flares a 90 mills and some little combos but no matter how many ways or times you help em they cant do footwork or really cant even rock a beat

yo a style epically a dynamic style is hard to come by let alone devlop

just saying hah

[spritedblue]

@DARTHFLVA oh yeah i learned windmills in weeks and flares in months.. but footwork and toprocks? that got me a little longer.. even though im doing it.. im not doing it right..

[elfpballer6]

@DARTHFLVA yeah those kids must be gymnasts or something. all of my friends and people I session with try powermoves for years and cant get them, but a lot of them can get great style in just a month or two

[DARTHFLVA]

@elfpballer6

haha word some of them bboy because they wanted to be gymnasts thats why their minds are so fixed on getting the power over anything else

[Oyashio202]

@DARTHFLVA thats because if they can do 10 flares already... they are easily focusing on power... if they focus on basics of footwork and beat killling... they won't understand power... your just a biased opinion style heads dont have much power.. powerheads dont have a lot of style... their development of the other part is slower.... thats why all around bboys are the killers in the battle...

[Pr0x1mo]

@Oyashio202 Yeah, but this is a DANCE, so if all you have is power, you're a gymnast, not a dancer. Hence the reason why when cloud goes in his first round, he pretends to take off ear plugs because what Kaku does requires no music.

[DARTHFLVA]

@Oyashio202

how can you possibly come to such a conclusion you dont even know me nor have never even seen me get down hahahahah!!!!

either you have it all and CLEAN or you dont THAT is where my opinion stems from.

discussion closed.

[jologs21]

@Akuma31er Eassy shiit!!! wow.. really.. i wanna see you break just footwork styles.. or flavor.. .. LEts found out if its easy!!!.. hahahahaha

[Akuma31er]

i always had a lot of flow and good styles but the powermoves like air flair is harder its no problem for me to have a good flow i always had this inside me well maybe some of you think that is harder but for me its not

[jologs21]

@Akuma31er Alright!! !so go ahead record yourself and post your video in youtube...!! Because we want to see it.. "We want to see your mighty styles or flavor " As you said so!!.. Prove us wrong..

[Akuma31er]

i think i could easy do this style like cloud and better but i stopped breaking 2 years ago so i would have to train again im not joking i had realy good styles and a good flow but i stopped breaking

[jologs21]

@Akuma31er hahaha really!!! so go ahead.. train is not that hard. right?... you said it was easy.. lol

[yellowpaco]

are you retarded?

[Frouza]

I quess kaku didnt win because he kept doing powermoves.. it starts to get booring after the first 10 sec

[Ntzex]

Kaku didnt win because Cloud smoked him.

[kekkan]

Hahaha.. Shit is funny still. He walked off Like " I can't believe he wanted to battle me. hahahha..

[tonni702]

dude 2:36 was dope as fuck.

[XxXxSMDxXxX]

For me> I think Kaku got dat one but judges choice.

[bboyTeKay]

kaku just did his standard powermoves even if they´re sick theres a point when it gets boring

but cloud was a hard beat killer!!!!

[PimpinJhonJhon23]

one of the reasons i respect cloud is because of the way he involves the crowd and gets them pumped up. hes the type of person you would want to be friends with.

[SingTingz31]

at 1:11 it sounded like someone from the crowd booed Cloud, then when Cloud did his first flip, he started cheering for him.

[extorminator126]

wtf was 2:36?

[dbfro1]

lol crazy huh

[Julienrewind]

@extorminator126

I was about to comment that too! XD!!!!

[ElCubanoLOKKO]

@extorminator126 kingspinz

[pleasepaul]

@extorminator126 obviously a tornado

[ManEaterL]

=_= Kaku's hella short.

respect.

[andasideoffries]

eh leave it- so m i ;)

[bomtrau]

good

[Pr0x1mo]

@dirtydean187 Yeah, Cloud is Differ's inspiration.

[TheFlamingJester]

I like to believe that what Cloud has is something that most if not most bboys don't have: professional experience.

I mean, look; Cloud is Madonna's dancer, who knows what kind of other moves outside bboy he picked up from other dancers to add to his arsenal?

Also, if you watch Cloud vs. Neguin, you can see what can of effect that did onto him as he focuses more on entertaining the crowd more than battling Neguin.

Mad respect.

[Pr0x1mo]

@TheFlamingJester Thats what I'm saying... a good bboy that gets professional training and gets every aspect of his dance refined? pfffftttt that makes him unstoppable.

[andasideoffries]

nah- for me that'd be a negative, i thought clouds style was cool- dnt like to think it was anyone elses influence

[xioutube]

@andasideoffries you do know that people do look up to him?...hes been a bboy and a dancer for 10 years. He battles Differ, who says in an interview that he is influenced by Cloud...if you dont believe it check the Related Videos...he pretty much does all his moves.

[rubix0110]

@TheFlamingJester Ironic since that lost him the final. Other bboys don't have "professional experience", but they've based their lives on breakin' and devote all their time to it.  It's great that Cloud has that outside influence but he's won all the battles that he's won because of his BBOY skills, not because of his time with Madonna.

[MrVent66]

@seeii20 Yes you are correct its not unreal cloud has an old school style its called dancing lol..thats how bboying should be ive practiced with him when was in Florida for a while and thats element that has been missing the groove and character of bboying and hes a perfect example how to feel the music and rock.

[Ratty241]

I realy and truly have to say, in my 10 years of watching bboying... Cloud's 2nd set was one of the illest i have ever seen, straight up sick flava.
