5A May – The Unfinished Battle: Drew vs Red

May 4, 2017 By Steve Brown

In 2011, a battle of giants was begun. Rafael “Red” Matsunaga and Drew Tetz decided to have a 5A trick video battle. Simple enough premise: each would submit a video, and then the public would vote on their favorite. The winner would claim total dominion over the entire planet and enact a millennium of darkness, the loser would have to wear a t-shirt that said “I suck”. Pretty typical stakes for a yoyo trick battle.

The videos were completed and posted:

Rafael Matsunaga

Drew Tetz

Then came a twist that no one could have forseen: the online service they used to set up the voting poll went out of business, and all votes were lost. The last time the votes were visible, the players were tied and so the greatest non-grudge match of the modern era came to a crashing halt with all involved scratching their heads and saying “So, uh, congratulations, I guess?”

For the sake of closure, and because I love to see someone lose, let’s open voting again. Who won this 6-year old trick battle? Cast your vote below!

Spencer Vs. Drew: Mind Melee

May 10, 2013 By Drew Tetz

Just when you’d caught your breath from Takeshi vs. Drew, it’s another single trick throwdown! This time we’ve got two responsive 1A heaters from Spencer “The Wild Man” Berry and Drew “Keeps Giving Himself Nicknames” Tetz. Spencer puts the Walter through its paces with his trick “Armadillo”, a classically-styled mount/regen sequence trick given a twist by his unique blend of grace and chaos, while I chose to return fire with “Crisis”, a plane-bending tribute to the golden age of Spindox.

Who deserves the crown? Cast your vote below, tell us why in the comments, and stay tuned for even more battles!

P.S. Don’t forget to tune in to YoYoRadio tonight to hear me talk about these battles, the Barradrewda, and…. probably whatever Joe wants to talk about. I don’t know. Hope it’s not baseball!
