Street Man Fighter | Ep 9 Reaction

yea i also dont trust the young j lee jung thing. she was like 17 when she was a part of just jerk

ive been battling for years and to me giseok's win was a no brainer. especially with the song choice. every other song it wouldn't have fit, but he nailed this. yumeki has great control but his grooves were too repetitive and lacked impact imo

I agree. I love seeing their friendships outside of the show they have grown close and they have nice personalities. I don’t understand why they didn’t include more of that in the show. I honestly think most people would prefer that over drama. But these last episodes have been much better in that. The drama was much more present in the earlier episodes and they are showing funnier moments of them

As a non-dancer, I was also iffy on Giseok's style, but some dancers explained a bit on the SWF/SMF reddit. This was (part of) someone's response to a comment about not really understanding Giseok's style: "Well, as an underground dancer I fully understand that people wouldn't really have an easy grasp about "ground moves" in street dancing. "Ground moves" is a very technical thing, it represents depth, uniqueness & strength. Ground moves are essential in the underground because it represents difficulty as well, because it is easy to dance while standing but not while lying on the floor. The fact that dancers can showcase movements in that aspect is impeccable. Ground moves were seen mostly by some Hiphop founders & predecessors like Icee & Alex the Cage" Someone else said that freestyle has "no specific routine, you just dance around to the beat freely and that’s exactly what Giseok did" (he did hit every beat). I also think the other dancers' reactions back up the judges' decision (and I trust their reactions/opinions more than mine)

Sadly I've dropped watching SMF since ep 6/7 and chose to only watch their performances in youtube.. too much drama and less dance..

Jeff, do you have any thoughts in regards to the situation with WDBZ and Ateez? There has been allegations that Vata copied Ateez's move from "Say My Name", with one of the members doing the biting move during the choreography. Vata has refused to acknowledge it though.

So for this mission, my favorite performance : 1) EODDAE Without a doubt. You pointed out, it was as if they were a crew already. Everyone fitted so well together and the performance was a 10/10. I had nothing to criticize I was kind of pissed seeing the result from the public because for me, it was honestly the best and they didn't deserve so low. I'm honestly sad to see them leave because they were in my favorite crew for sure. 2 ) BANK 2 BROTHER Their evolution and grow is amazing, I'm glad they are still because they keep learning more and more. However, I don't get the judges opinions honestly, it felt like B2B and PROWDMON mixed well together. It's not like MBITIOUS and LACHICA where LACHICA did stand out, I think it was just fine. I feel like Monika really helped with the choreography aspect like formations 3) WE DEM BOYZ HOOK and them just fit so well together. When it's come to tricks, we can always count on Aiki, she always has some in her pocket. I don't have much to comment on this performance Glad that you pointed Taehyun on MBITIOUS performance. I honestly feel like I only noticed him when it's come to MBITIOUS members. I feel like Tarzan shouldn't have been center, I get why they wanted to put him. However, I think Taehyun fitted more for this. It's not just because he was an idol but I also think, he fit the dance style way better. It's remind me of his dance on 7RINGS. Overall in the battles, I liked BANK 2 BROTHER better (FEELDOG 10/10, this man is just so good). I loved the hat trick, a nod to TRIX and PRIMEKINGZ, their fellow Street Dancers. I just think Yumeki should have win against Giseok. People already pointed out but it's kind of annoying how they push the 5 rounds, clearly it shouldn't happen everytime. I don't mind 1MILLION leaving, it's just suck because I love Yumeki and Root so much, really two of my favorites. However EODDAE elimation, heartbreak, especially since in my opinion, they gave a little more variety to SMF Just like PRIME KINGZ did, YGX did a video for the mission even if they were eliminated (I forgot to send it to you like I did last time) so here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4We3DNvygTw

I LOVE B2B when it comes to battles! Feeldog was very impressive. I was really disappointed to see 1 Million leave too though.

Negar Yazdani

Based on what i've seen in the show so far, my top 3 would've been (in order): 1. 1million 2. We dem boyz 3. Eoddae

FlowerPower

I feel like Yumeki should've won his round. the thing that annoys me is that it's clear that the show is imposing all 5 rounds on the crews. from that point of view, the show is rigged. and it's this rigging that causes unpredictable results because everything comes down to that last fight. it's how prime kingz lost, and it's how 1 mil. lost. both crews should have stayed in the competition in my opinion. and they would have stayed if the show wasn't rigged. Bank 2 brothers should have been eliminated ages ago. same for Mbitious. I don't think they're on par with other groups. Regardless of this stupid format my top 4 teams are: we dem boyz, 1 million, eoddae and just jerk. Out of the ones left, my personal favorites are We dem boyz. Second is Just jerk. The other two shouldn't even be here, so I'll pretend they aren't.

FlowerPower

wait is it confirmed that lee jung and young jay were a thing bc isn't he much older than her 😭

Destiny Haney

I feel like regardless who wins, the crew that definitely won the most is B2B, like they really had 0 popurality before the show, they went from less than 1k followers to 70k followers (except feeldog) and they recently sign up with an agency. Also, I did like Giseok battle 🤭but I can understand where are you coming from.

So I have some hot takes about the muse mission. 1. As much as I enjoy Just Jerk’s performance, I feel like a lot of it was the sound effects, and that’s something that I’ve been noticing since the mega crew mission. 2. The camara work only helped Mbitious, because the videos where is a one still shot, you can see all the flaws of their performance but appreciate One million and B2B’s performance more. 3. The format of this program is okay but if the whole show is based on both battles and performance then so should the finale, not just performance, imo. Also here are some random tea: Eodde’s EJo is dating Simeez, although there are rumors that they broke up. Lee Jung and Young Jay used to date and when they broke up she left just jerk.

I agree about the fact that mnet sacrifice the members personality for the drama factor, specially B2B since they are introvert group (except Feeldog) but the behind the scenes videos and interviews that the Choom channel posted shows more than their personality, specially the Gala talk show.
