Rezerection of breaking (blog 13) step 1

-my basic battle strategies
 
Here is just a quick list of battle strategies that I use. 
 
Power vs style
If someones doing power I try to do a lot of style- it has to be crisp

though, any mess ups and its GG
 
Sloppy vs clean
If someones being sloppy its almost like a free rd win. My goal is

then to do some nice slow tops, some super clean footwork,and then 

end it with a solid freeze combo 

(generally basic freezes-chair> baby> headstand)
 
Foundation vs originality
When someone does a lot of foundation, its very hard to beat because 

generally its clean, crisp, very low rate of crashing, and it makes 

for a solid rd. So I try to do a lot of original moves that way I can

take my best bet at beating them. I also through in a little power 

because a lot of people don't have clean power so it helps because it

gets a lot of crowd hype
 
Style vs style
There's a lot of differen't styles of dancing. If someone's 

threading, I'm doing footwork techs, if someones doing basic footwork

then I'm going to level changing footwork, if someone does rotational

moves (where there feet rotate around their body) I'm going to do 

atomic moves (where the body moves in conjunction with the feet) 

its very easy to judge A against A. But to judge A against B is harder

because it makes the judges judge you on what you did and how you did

it vs who was better then the other person.
 
Tricks vs foundation
If I have tricks I'm going to throw them against foundation, the more 

oooohs and ahhhs you get the more times you'll sway the judges.
 
Tricks vs power
It's one of those things that goes back to style vs style and comes to

who's better at their trade
 
Crashing vs Not crashing
This should be pretty obvious- the more you crash the more likely 

you'll lose
 
Crashing vs crashing
If your opponent is crashing & hard at that (for this example let's say

they're better then you and your throwing your hardest moves) your goal

when throwing your moves is when you feel yourself going down, to fall

like a leaf and make it look like you fell from grace. A major crash is

waay worse then a minor crash that you can recover.
 
 
And with the talk of crashing- if you crash- DO NOT STOP DANCING. Start

doing your footwork again at a nice slow and steady pace- speed it up 

to battle speed throw in some solid freezes or power and end it after 

you've built your set back up. This can make or break a battle. 

NEVER END with a crash, its like signing a death wish
