here's what i look for in this order.

1.punches. did i like the punches?
2. execution. flow and performance come in here. for text this is more about wording and logic.
3. creativity
4. skill (wordplay, metaphors, and so on)
5. multi strength

here are the things i mark in a battle and in what order.

1. punches. (they didn't throw any, or had simple/broken punches)
2. wording mistakes, logic mistakes, bad wordplay
3. (for audio here is where i mark someone down for a boring performance)

here's the bottom line though. and a good example. edge vs guts first round, edge wasn't too hot on the mic, and guts was clearly more comfortable, but edge had stronger bars with better logic and flow. my vote? edgeworth no doubt. however, if i was battling someone and you could barely hear their audio, it sounded like they were talking, and kept repeating lines they fucked up, then it isn't even rap. auto loss. so yeah, obviously if someone bombs, it doesn't even count, but i think i've made how i view it clear.
