I'm on board with XYZ here.. some of the rhyming and wording issues in one verse I just couldn't get over.. not the best I've seen from him. The other also had some issues, moreso toward the end of the verse.BOTB: draggin Mask / Lunar Year

Good battle fellaz

TGG- loved the lunar new year line

MR- the personals stacked up quickly

Been awhile since I've read a text battle and this one didn't disappoint but I got MR taking this with the personals and better punches overall....

TGG seems to be getting a lot better in text

Nice battle here. I've seen the challenger do alot better. Winner kept it consistent here and his execution was hard body. Fairs in keep grinding fellas

I've got Masked-Reaper winning in this one. Personals, scheme work and delivery were much stronger than TGG's. Best of luck to both. Fairs thwon.

This took me a while. I had trouble with one's rhyming here and I needed more umph from the other. My winner clutched this with their opener. good luck and good battle 

Few reads, but feel confident in my winner.

Winner for me had a more structured verse for text format and more complex multis, which lended some added "umph" to the punches and verse. The loser here was not bad by any means, but really needs chain punching or more content to compete against some of these longer multis given the setups and concepts that's being worked with. I'm gonna lean to my winner for the reasons above

close battle had to go with the illegal notice line hit a little better the lunar line was good fv no h8 gb 

I changed my mind after reading this a few times. Just read this back and it's way too long a breakdown for an 8 lol. Masks whole Chilla Jones style scheme of dudes last few losses took between 1/4-1/3 of his verse and didn't really hit. The rhyming in his verse was superior and the two middle punches were both decent. Minimal focus his best. The closer didn't hit...too simple to just say chapter and librarian. Needs more. Gauddy had way more punches in his verse. Some of em were beyond simple like shovel/dig though. The opener was a cool idea that needed a bit more. The moon/lunar new year lines were BOTB. Clever set up, simple but effective wordplay, good execution. Across the pond/Puddle thing had a ton of potential but didn't hit as well as it could have. Hit the deck was simple but cleanly delivered. Rest of it flowed well but content was meh. Gotta lean toward Gauddy here...the BOTB made the difference for me. If Mask had wrapped that early scheme a line earlier and gotten another punch in, it could've easily gone the other way.
