Straw Hat had some good ideas like the Lisa Simpson and Jazz Museum bits. Overall issue is wording. Need to clean up the wording to make it clear and concise. Saxon got this as he was more consistent throughout with better execution from setup to punch.

Yo forget about that 16. Thank god I've ONLY been writing for you. Didn't know about the tourney but I got bars.

sorry it took so long dude!!

Expos - 

wage wars gender equality etc.

he had disappeared after a few losses

fodder straw beef, you get the connection.

he generally uses terms like gear 3 or gear 2 in almost all of his verses.

Rest simple.

All good man. Didn't think you would show up had to rush to write something apt.

Corection -

this pussy only marches to wage wars with writtens

It's as always his WRITTENS GETTING TOOLED!

Close battle fellas. Straw I wasnt feeling the opener but you picked up. Unique flow I must say. I think you used too many sax flips, but that lisa Simpson one was dope! Saxxx you flowed well and were pretty consistent with everything. Your closer was the bar of the battle, sizzling. Great job both you combatants.

Expoooo-

Shonen jump is the owner of the Dragon Ball/ One Piece manga. Fortuneteller Baba is a character in DB. 

Rest should be easy!

I'm actually surprised here. My winner started off slow. But kinda heated up a bit. I thought I came for an easy vote. Haha. Gb

Straw - You started out weak, It seems like you was attempting to build up to punches and then you'd completely miss the connection and move on to the next bar. The highlighted sections bring it out and help as far as reading. But, The multis that i'm guessing you was highlighting were broken, And you showed mild aggression with no wordplay involved.

Saaxxx - The following bars are the reasons behind my vote ----- these are twisted underground creations,think GROTESQUE OLD CELLARS while this pussies only marches to wage wars with writtens,in a PROTEST OF GENDERS!

He could only make it to the shortlist of SIGNIFICANT NAMES as the winnner coz he's the biggest MIDGET IN THE GAME! This fag tried daring guys to battle him with DOPE SPITS AND RHYMES but ended up purchasing more dumb L's than a GOLD GYMS FRANCHISE!

 He only uploads vista materials, when INSTALLING WINDOWS coz all the loopy material he posts, is laughed at like TIK TOK VIDEOS !!

Those were the nicest bars of the verse in my opinion. Good flow, Aggression and wordplay was good - could have showed a bit more aggression in the multis around the middle of the verse but they still did the job. Punches where consistant and comprehensive. 

Over All - Good Verses.

Somewhat of a close decision here. I think Straw had a few solid & funny lines. Too much focus on nameplay tho even though most of what was referenced was pretty solid. Sax I believe stayed more consistent in his verse. A few lines I wasn't really fuckin with tho but I think Sax edged this in the smallest margin possible. 

Ah right. That's why I left. Captain Autismos like that kid.

I thought this was quite a close bout, but in the end my winner took this with better punch strength.

Straw Hat, I think you overdid the Saaxxx/saxophone nameplays a little here, especially since they were sometimes used in ways that were getting a bit ludicrous. Jazz turning in its grave is just beyond the realm of believability to me, and the jazz musem fire one also seemed a bit out there, especially when the only clue in the setup was "sax on fire". Nonetheless I thought you had a few really nice bars in here, the Baba's fortune, your closer was nice as well.

Saaxxx you had some really good potential in a lot of these bars, especially the "straw/haymaker" one, but a lot of them either didn't go for the throat by landing the punch right, or were hurt by wordplay and multis that just didn't work. "Dumb L's" does not sound like dumbells, "dirge dyke's slaughtered" doesn't really make sense to me because I don't get what dirge has to do with it, and I don't think "personify/objectify" really works as a rhyme because if you take off the -ify it becomes "person/object" which is something that only sounds the same if you're a slaveowner (UNGH!). Nonetheless you also had some really nice punches, I thought the Tik Tok and shifting gears bars were really nice.

felt one was attempting sone wp and udeas but wasnt great about it, the other had better performance delivery, none the less entertaining batt le my vote is in. and GL to both. 100! 

Straw even tho the Shonen wp is force i like the attempt and the Baba bar was good. besides the closer everything else was ok. You got mad potential Straw, hope we see more of you. You stuck to the Saxx punches waaaaay too much tho and the angle overall is a bit played but still. good show.

Saxx: Overall your verse was a bit lacking in punches. the ones that were there were decent but you had a lot of filler.

I got straw as my winner here for punch count only. I suggest both of you read battles by seasoned vets to sharpen your creativity and wording. Both have potential to be dope, keep grinding.
