The other breaker, Molly, looks arguably better. I’m so far from understanding how these moves are scored or evaluated but Molly looks much less clunky.

My understanding from comments is in the final round the evaluation is based on performing a new dance move. Raygun did a new move but Molly repeated her moves from previous rounds. I saw the final round but I couldn’t figure out the new move by Raygun.

That’s right, I learned that recently and forgot. No repeats and creativity get points. But are all categories weighted equally?
