Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I've had some experience with a situation like yours. The only thing the guy could do was a solid windmill and some footwork. To counter him, I just did beat-killin' footwork, and all kinds of freezes while he sat back and didn't do much on each set. So, yeah. My recommendation would be to go fully stylistic on him. Hope that helps. Peace.

Do you want to actually feel like you've won? Or do you want to win the crowd over?

Because either way, hit the hell out of those beats, make them cry, and steal their lunch money.

Style over Power anyday. Good style that is.

Word. I love bboys with madd style and those who rock beats over most powerheads. That's why I'm 95% style. Straight up.

to win the crowd over you need conventional moves which are powermoves,airfreezes and fast footworks.
to really win the battle just squeeze the juice outta him till he's dry.i'm sure he's pretty much a goner after he busts his mills.burn as many moves as you can.
peace

in my opinion... i don't think u can win a non-bboy crowd over to some one-move powerhead, if u don't have power urself....now if ur tops and footwork are VeRy good,u need to make up a masterpiece routine.... you'll need only 1-2 OUTSTANDING creative routines.. cuz this is how it would be:

Powerloser- does his mills

crowd- cheers

You- routine

crowd- cheers louder

powerloser- does his mills

crowd- cheers a little bit, (infact, very close to silent)

You- Routine

Crowd- Cheers

there you have it.......

but...

whether you like it or not, if you don't have impressive style (and i mean, VERY impressive), then you won't win the non-bboy crowd over.... cuz then it would be like this:

Powerloser- Mills

Crowd- Cheers

You- basic toprock, basic footwork, baby freeze......

Crowd- (crickets chirp) ".... WtF?"

You- walks away....

Crowd- "Hey Powerloser! Do those Spinnoroni's again!"

Powerloser- Mills

Crowd- Cheers

lol. That is funny. I can just picture a dude doing basic tops and footwork and a cricket chirping. Sometimes beating a powermover means power grafted into style. It looks nice as well as a good burn if you combo it right. But i dont know what you have for power. Otherwise, do like they said and do really good style.

I gots a dance this friday too, This DJ and his boy (This guy i don't know, but he bboys) are gonna be watchin me. Even though I still overally suck, I'm going to wait till there's a big circle and the guy that I dislike (hate) goes out, and then I'm going to burn him good. (unless the bboy that's gonna be watchin me busts out some crazy crap)

Blue you made my day today.....

[EDIT]
Also, it wouldn't be bad to do footwork + power at the same time. It's what I do.

Actually, putting my routine up wouldn't be smart now would it XP

-You kick him in the balls.
-He keels over
-Have the dj announce "FATALITY".... then rip off his head.

-OR-

The crowd thinks hes better than you already. So go wild on Friday. Try to act like his windmills are nothing and that you could do them if you wanted to, but you dont want to. Then, to embarass him and spark some bboy interest into the crowd, loudly ask "WHY DONT YOU DO SOME FLARES, YOU ONE MOVE POWERHEAD?"

THe crowd will go, "what are flares?"

then you run home and get back online to bboy.org, go to the flare guides, and work on flares until the next dance. Simple as that. Because everyone knows that flares kill windmills.

I have : 6-step

Working on : Airflares
