Text Battles

[Óðinn]

People need to realise, there is a big difference from Live battling and battling online. Further more, there is a major difference between Audio battling & Text battling.

When it comes to Audio, it's the delivery. Even mediocre punches can come across as fire if the MC's delivery is on point.

When it comes to Text, the bars need to be perfect. As people are reading them, in their own accents, there is no room for error. To have a punchline stand out and or hit hard it must be perfect in ALL aspects of battle writing.

There's a difference between the two formats. Time people stop trying to compare live battling on a stage to online battling... they are not the same.

When someone has to drop an Expo nearly as long as their battle to explain what they're talking about...they've already lost... lol

Yeah i feel you /No HoMo/ nar but seriously i personally try not to give an expo at all unless ive used a reference that i think is a really obscure. I do feel like its the writers job to write it in a way that's digestible but to preference flow/multies over punches is wrong imo
