I'm not necessarily trying to insult either of you, but if you can't beat Cel (or any opponent for that matter) without having your bars be backed up with the impact of personal real life shit, that speaks leagues about your abilities as a writer.

So now the already limited GC is even more limited because of NOT ONLY Cels inability to maneuver around this curveball but also because EtH & rohaan wanted to be cunts instead of actually writing impactful bars.

Wonderful job! I can tell your history of wanting to help the site is really holding up @Dave.

EDIT: I cant be asked to go through all of this bullshit to see if it qualifies, but didnt @X just make all this personal shit permabannable as well?

I didn't do a single thing to Celsius on Facebook, or Letsbeef. Him backing out is entirely of his own volition because he's scared of what I'm going to bring to the battle. I have done nothing what so ever personally that would affect his line in any way, shape or form.

X may have made releasing personal information on the site permabannable, but as I haven't done that, then what is there to discuss?

personal bars are impactful.. wtf ?

What could you even fuckin bring that would initiate that level of fear lmao? thats interesting. I suppose it also changes my position, @Celsius should just fucking battle and try to bring content that outshines anything you could have...

Celsius is a dope battler. He would definitely have a chance of seeing off anything I could have. To be honest, I'm talking it up. Anything I wrote is probably a bit ruined now anyways.

I also see them as the easy way out to detract from the fundamentals of battling with subject matter that only serves as a punchline because of its personal nature. I see it largely as a cop out, especially when one digs for the information.

Online battling should be about highlighting the contrast between you & your opponent lyrically, not offhandedly referencing embarrassing portions of their life completely outside of battling.

Then again face-value personals like fat jokes and short jokes are WIDELY accepted so perhaps this is just me disliking a style that isn't mine. Either way, my disdain for it exists.

hmm touche :meh:

And I see random impersonal bars to be boring as your opponent literally couldn't give a fuck that they were delivered. I see battling like live battling. No one gives a fuck when you bring a verse of nameplay. What they do care about is when you're dissing their family, dissing their parenting skills, dissing how they were raised, pulling up screenshots of dirt from their past relationships, dissing their relatives and family members.

When did you guys get so sensitive? Remind, this is a bar from probably the best Letsbeef live battler:-


And yet personals aren't impactful?

I suppose under that description you wouldn't be. You're literally like a triple² agent, lol.

Hmm. While I also find name wp to usually be played out, I'm kind of forced to agree with you to an extent here. I suppose I just personally dislike a bit of the nature of this style, in the same way you highlighted a dislike for the impersonal bar style.

I also suppose that one could convey the same meanings of contrasting the abilities of your opponent as one does with irrelevant-to-the-person bars, but in a personal nature, so yeah. Fair enough ya fucker my stance is pretty demonstrably unfounded here :D

And to think you've been dropping those soundproof rebuttals in every thread all week :D

For me, there's a couple of reasons. Firstly, standard bars bore me. I like when something cuts deep and when you know that the opponent is gonna feel it. Sometimes you don't even need the voters to feel it, just know that the opponent does. But on top of that, I'm just not that creative. I've always been technically sound, but fell completely short when it came to having the creativity to generate concepts out of nowhere. That's why I can do personals (honing in on my ability to diss the fuck out of people :D) and schemes (write down multis, write punches off of the multi instead of getting it out of thin air).

Yeah, maybe I'm starting to push it a bit with the personals, but fuck man I've had two battles back, give me a break haha. When I do one battle, and the personals were hard, I want to move onto the next one and push the boundaries even more.
