Topical Tournament Round 4: Intricate_Skillz vs Ill Phenom [OPEN FOR VOTES]

[Wigsplit]

Rhyming Scheme/Flow- Intricate Skillz. To me he flowed better in this battle, Ill wasnt lacking tho.
Vocabulary- Intricate Skillz. I honestly seen better vocab from Skillz. Ill had some real good words in there, but Skillz edged it with a few more.
Topic/Meaning- Tie. Both had really good meaning's behind their topical.
Storytelling/Progression- Intricate Skillz. The way he broke it down did it for me. Even the chapters names fit really well with each little verse. Ill did really well, but it didnt pull me in like Skillz.
Emotion- Intricate Skillz. The emotion he put in the story made you feel the girls pain more imo. Ill did really well in this category too, but I think the way Skillz told his story helped you feel more for that girl, altho all rape victims should be treated fairly lol, I didnt laugh about rape, its not funny. Anyway, close, but Skillz.
Imagery- Intricate Skillz. Things suck as "Hidden Treasure". And I know exactly what he's talking about, it was pinpoint on with the shit. Ill had nice imagery, like the apple sauce line, and a bunch of other parts, he jus had a hell of a topical to go against is all.
Poetic Techniques- Intricate Skillz. His was very poetic, while Ills was more story like.
Ending- Intricate Skillz. Even tho I seent it coming, it ended his topical very well, and nice lol. Ill had a good ending too, it aint like his shit wasnt fire as well, Skillz just took this for me.

MVGT- Intricate Skillz. Ya'll both had very creative pieces, but Skillz went in on this shit. He impresses the shit out of me with his poetic ways lol. I was digging Ills too, but the creativness of Skillz took it. Just imo tho, yall did a hell of a battle, I read em both like 5 times to make sure, so my vote is official lol. Good luck to both of you.

Rhyming Scheme/Flow - Intricate. End to end a smoother read. Flow's were choppy

Vocabulary - Phenom. This isn't based on vernacular, but usage. Example the word furnace. His word usage kept me interested in the piece. Intricate had a higher vernacular, but it was more straightforwrd. This was a shoe preference basically.

Topic/Meaning - Tie. I liked both equally and they were similar in aspect. Would have like to have seen one of them reach outside the box, but great minds do think a like.

Storytelling/Progression - Intricate. He built stanzas and chronicled the story well. Phenom framed his well, but it just wasn't as on point imo.

Emotion - Phenom. I think that word usage came into play on this one. He captured it well, Intricate's storyline was more captivating overall, but the individual moments that Phenom put across rang bells.

Imagery - Intricate. Goes hand in hand with emotion. it's hard to prevade emotion in text and both tried it. I think Int had a better take on it. Also, by chronicaling everything, he crescendoed the events well to a grand finale whereas Phe was more straight through. Sometimes that works better, in this case, the edge goes to the more far-reaching one.

Poetic Techniques - Tie. Nothing much to say here. Hit and miss from both.

Ending - Int. Just for the fact that he was able to leave it open for more. Pretty well even aside from that.

Hardest vote yet boyos. mad props

Overall Vote - Intricate Skills

[Prose_]

Rhyming Scheme/Flow- tie
Vocabulary- Ill had a better syllable count
Topic/Meaning- the ending from Phe took this
Storytelling/Progression- blah blah on both sides but Phe moved it along more
Emotion- tied. again. similar.
Imagery- Phe with apple sauce metaphors created more of an image. lol
Poetic Techniques- ima tie this one.
Ending- Phenom... he had the topic wrapped up in the ending...

FV: the reason there are so many ties in my opinion is because both verses have similar content. i wish that there could have been a more creative route taken on both sides. vote goes to Phe barely edging it. good battle.
