Rhyming Scheme/Flow- Tie, both flowed with it very good, smooth as fuck
Vocabulary- RhetoriKaL, He is a mothafuckin human dictionary lol. Skillz didnt slack either, but Rhet's crazy with the vocab
Topic/Meaning- RhetoriKaL, overall, his had a very deep meaning to it. Skillz was deep too, but Rhet just edged it for me, almost a tie
Storytelling/Progression- RhetoriKaL, He just outdone himself, Great start, and he kept the momentum all the way to the finish. Again, Skillz didnt slack in this department, Rhet just went the fuck in
Emotion- Tie, this one was even through my eyes, great emotion from both sides
Imagery- RhetoriKaL, he did an awesome job at putting this together. Painted it up beautifully. Skillz did fantastic too, but Rhet's with the length of Rhets, he fit a lot more into it.
Poetic Techniques- Tie, both very poetic.
Ending- RhetoriKal, a greatending to it, like I said, it started off great, and it ended smooth as fuck, no questions to ask. Again, Skillz didnt dissappoint me at all, if he had put as much into it as Rhet, he could've took it imo. But Rhet really went in imo.

MVGT- RhetoriKaL, he had an amazing topical, on some professional author type shit. The visuals and the vocab, how it flowed together, it was all great. Skillz had an awesome topical, I really liked it, nothing dissapointed. Rhet took it tho. Great battle, impressive stuff. Good Luck to you both.

Rhyming Scheme/Flow Intricate: Easier read. Rhets was a wall of text
Vocabulary Rhetorik: I dare anyone to say otherwise. wasn't even close.
Topic/Meaning Rhetorik:
Storytelling/Progression Intricate: More to to the point.
Emotion Intricate: I felt more attatched to Int's verse.
Imagery Intricate: The wordy nature of Rhets verse killed the imagry.
Poetic Techniques Rhetorik: Hands down
Ending Rhetorik:

Why you have 8 catigorys I don't know. Should be an Odd number to help find a winner.

So I'm a do it like this. The main cats each person took.

Rhyming Scheme/Flow
Vocabulary- RhetoriKal. Skillz you were kind of repetitive and simple at times, although that went with your verse, Rhet had mad vocab
Topic/Meaning- Tie. Loved each meaning went really well with the picture.
Storytelling/Progression- RhetoriKal. Clear start, middle and end. Skillz i liked your meaning but to me there wasn't much of a story.
Emotion- Skillz, mad emotion was really feelin' it..
Imagery- Tie. IMO imagery is the hardest thing to get across in the topicals, you both did a good job.
Poetic Techniques- Skillz. Easier read, simple but went well with the whole verse, Rhet.. was a bit hard to read at times, but both had immaculate flow
Ending- Rhet had the clearer ending imo.

MVGT- RhetoriKal. It's a tough one, both so different and loved them both. Alot of emotion in both verses you both killed it... Skillz your verse was real nice, i loved the whole meaning and had some real stand out lines, but Rhet was on a whole new level on this a lot of work clearly went into it. Could go either way and you both deserve to be in the semi finals so well done!!
