I had no idea these two were sooo amazing.

It's hard to say who wins.

They're both are sick players, so much style!

I like how Takumi can easily throw a baroques midrun.

Pink soles look awesome!

I prefer Takumi!
If I'm not mistaken he is about 20-21 years old just looks younger.
Yes, he does Whirr as Vasek 8) .

Takumi looked like he was almost playing in slow motion.

I was thinking the exact same thing while watching. Takumi is one of my favorite players to watch so I'd say he won, although Taishi's shuffle game is undeniably nasty.

This is a great video, and I really enjoyed it. It's so good to see that Taishi is tearing it up as usual, and Takumi is definitely so badass with his variety. Awesome shred.

It's one of my smaller dreams to play with them on their home turf. Hopefully it will become a reality in the [not so] distant future. :)

Taishi's game is stepping up, considerably. I am very happy for him.

Me and my ex were fortunate enough to spend an afternoon with these two, and as a complete outsider to footbag she was more impressed with Taishi's game.
He is also one of the only two English speaking Japanese people I met during my entire stay there, and the most awesome, so he has my biased vote :)

I like both of their styles a lot! Takumi is amazing and his first run was off the chain!

That being said, the only thing that bugged me was no flip toe from Takumi

Yeah! Taishi's getting so much better. The more advanced move selection fits his style so much better now.

Takumi's not bad either... :P
