Alright...here me out for a sec.

At one point or another we all end up battling, and to a certain degree there is SOME form or prep (whether that be mental or physical). I KNOW there are some concepts that many of us use to help secure ourselves. Regardless of how much the argument of "just going out there and ripping it" comes up, we all use some form of theory or battle philosophy.

The theories can be as little as just sitting in the beat the whole first round and slowly stack up in difficulty as the rounds pass. Or even a little stalker-ish by studying your opponent. Possibly even not using certain techniques because you know your opponent is much more talented in it (sound familiar?).

I'm posting this under the moves guide because I feel that there is a somewhat different way you dance when battling as compared to just freestyle. Just dropping my thoughts..possibly can get a feel from what others have to share, other then just going in commando. ;)

Well, i think it depends on the situation ur in. if it's a person that's battlin you that has never seen ya skills before<<<< i would go kinda soft the first round...then as the battle progresses i would turn up the heat...

Yeah, if at all possible-I'd luv for them to go first. I feed off their moves and what they do and use it as ammo against them. If not, I come out the gate with my own off the wall style to mix it up.

I pressume er'one else has their own "power moves" in reserve to sway the crowd and get the "oooow" reaction to get the favor in the battle...or is that just me?

very important is also to stare at your opponent. there are so many popping dancers that just act like looking straight into your eyes, but finally they concentrate on something behind you. When u look into your opponent and make faces it will help u to take control on him/her.

one more thing,
i'm a popping girl so (at least in poland) it happens sooo rarely that girl dances it. we got only 3 real poppers. many times after a battle with a guy i hear that it's not that easy to fight with a girl, and even if they are better they feel kind of shame. :) that's so good! ;p

I usaually let them go first lol I am a female too and yep I agree. Back in 99 when I was 17 hittin up clubs getting into battles I let the guy or whoever go first just so I can mock em with my own style
