Definitely feelin' you on that one. Ground FX had some good style going on, but I'd have to say...

Born's set: ALWAYS SICK!!!

All the power sets were definitely impressive on both sides, but Born's set is always so clean.

Country size and origin of the dance have no influence on the dance whatsoever, other than explaining population density and the history of the dance. In Korea, b-boying is a commercial industry. Some of the students there skip school so that they can practice 5+ hours a day, hence their rapid influence on the b-boying community. In the USA, b-boying isn't as commercial as it is in Korea because it had reached its peak before. Also, b-boying here was seen more as a gangster activity (a reason for its past decline) whereas b-boying in Korea is a profitable industry.

Unless the USA can overall surpass the Koreans in commitment (some US crews obviously do, Koreans just have more crews overall), the b-boy stereotype can be ridded. Otherwise, on average, seems like Koreans are still on top.
