What I look for in a verse depends on the level. If its a lower-tier/less-experienced battler then I'm mainly worried about everything making basic sense, as well as the rhymes working on a basic level. If its someone who has mastered the basics of writing something that makes sense, rhymes and disses their opponent, then I'm looking for punches with double-meanings, preferably flipped at the end of the line. The more original (but still sensible) the better. When it gets to really high-level stuff is where I start comparing personal vs generic punches, flow/swagger vs complex setups, unique angles and topic areas etc.

Ultimately I don't think you can read a verse specifically judging on a set list of factors, but more on how you feel after reading it, and which verse leaves you feeling more convinced at the end of reading the battle.
