Overrated/Underrated

So I feel Rai catches a lot of flak because of how he USED to write (which he'll admit isn't his best work), but not a lot of people seem to give him credit nowadays for the things he's writing now. I feel he's been getting a lot better in terms of making sure his concepts relate to his punches in the proper way they should (without having the multis he uses sound ridiculous), and he's been able to clean up his wording and he's not making the same mistakes he used to make, which is always a good sign of improvement. He's definitely got a lot of potential to win himself a title or two in the near future, and he's also very versatile.

My vote: Underrated.


Also, Mind Fuck is someone who's gotten rusty ever since the years have passed from when he was a staple on the site in terms of activity. I remember the last battle I had with him and he had a few concepts against me that I wasn't expecting, but a lot of concepts that were just ok at best. Wording and multis are where I feel most of his problems lie, since he's not been very consistent in his wording and you sometimes lose track in terms of where the bar is actually going, plus his multis can sometimes be broken or forced. He's got a fair amount of potential to be really good if he consistently worked at his craft, but I don't see that really happening.

My vote: As of now, overrated.

One last one, Subreal.

Sub's a guy who hasn't battled a whole lot lately (most of his battles he HAS done lately are troll battles revolving around The Bat God gimmick), but I think he could be a good challenge for a lot of current battlers if he actually tried for it. Would actually like to see him drop a few battles in the near future.

My vote: Until he battles seriously, he's just right where he is.
