I'll always research bars that I don't understand just to see what the writer means or if I'm just out the loop, but I agree that the punch definitely isn't felt as hard if I have to open another tab just to see wtf you meant. I recently had this issue in my 2nd battle with H1Z1.

His bars, not mine:
I KNOW you on ya HIGH ROAD but Z 'shoot you down, from another plain' like IRANIAN SPY_ROLES[spiral] so shut ya PIE HOLE or else its LIPO cause 'though i spark, these Knyx skimpy' like LIGHTPOLES at UKRAINIAN SKY_SHOWS

I didn't know what any of this meant until I researched and I still don't know wtf he was talking about.

I treat this shit like a live battle or comedy show. You deliver the punch or you dont. No research needed.

If an American (or anyone else) makes a punch that’s based on a concept rooted in American (or their native) culture, pop, sports, customs, etc that might not apply or be well known in your country, how much does it affect how you judge the bar? Do you look at the craftsmanship of the bar and look into the concept to judge it accordingly or do you just look at it as not hitting because the topic matter isn’t familiar?

To be perfectly honest, the same question can be asked of the American based community, who, for the majority over the years I’ve been here, deduct points and score you low for using a bar/punchline-reference on something they don’t know about. Almost as if: if it’s not American, it doesn’t exist sort of mentality.

Granted not everyone of the American members do this but the majority have done and continue to do so.

Myself, if it’s a sports reference I’ll look it up, though for the most part if it’s something I’ve no knowledge of, I would usually discount the bar until I gather more info on it from the member who wrote the bar, as to what it’s about. Though as @EtH had stated, you’re not going to be at a live battle with google at the ready or after a battlers round jump on stage and ask him/her “yo, when you said x y an z, what did you mean?”

It's not american/english. It's just anything I dont understand. When rant makes a bar about quantum mechanics and string theory and the punch is a wordplay on the guy who invented it, I score that lower too. I just cant relate.
