Tournament Archive: Rd 1 - Scotty32 & Kayb vs Big Game & j504

Scotty

Edited by Stalin - 03 September 2010 at 2:09pm

Scotty came pretty much how I expected, nice effort but out of practice and lacking anything really hard hitting. Felt like you had some good ammo on him, but just didn't use it effectively. Kay had some decent punches, nothing out of this world but a solid battle verse, under construction line was cool. J504's verse was ok, looked a little rushed to me at times if I'm honest but had some cool concepts and punches along the wa, meat and potatoes line was cool. Game, standard battle verse, good flow, decent punches. I agree that Scotty is a fuck up too lol

Overall, battle was ok, thought J504 and Big Game came out swinging more.

Vote: J504 & Big Game

Imma do it like-

Punches-
Flow-
Multies-
Personals-

Keep it simples.

Scotty-

Punches- 5/10- basic, but i did love the 'self generated' bar, that was dope.
Flow- 5/10- again, not like it's wack, but it's just alright, didn't try anything too difficult.
Multies- 3/10- few and far between, but i don't think it's your thing, but a bit more complexity in the structure of a verse makes everything sound better.
Personals- 5/10- mentioning the ban and the hacking kept it direct at Game which was good, but the only time you mentioned J, you had to mention another member, you seemed to struggle to throw anything at him.

Kay B-

Punches- 7/10- I really liked your punches in this, you kept them together as a pair, so both got a roasting together in equal amount, 'underconstruction' line was dope.
Flow- 4/10- Not a massive fan, it was different, but to me, whilst it obviously had a structure, it was off putting having to anticipate breaks and switches in the flow.
Multies- 5/10- Slightly better used than Scotty, but yet again, only at the end of lines really.
Personals- 6/10- Again, nothing that particularly made me go 'Owwww!' but atleast you went at both, and the 'only having a crew cos of my partner' line was a nice blow to them, would've knocked some pride.

Scott & Kay- 40/80


J504-

Punches- 7/10- Your punches were strong and very direct, you went at Kay nicely, good use of research and links. But you made me laugh with your Scotty baiting especially, you didn't hold back.
Flow- 7/10- On point for most part, i mean the first couple of bars were perfect to read, just so smooth. It dropped in the middle maybe, but still then it was decent. Very nice.
Multies- 6/10- You used multies the better than anyone one else in the battle. The first half of your verse was on point as it gets, however it dropped to a 6 for a sloppier second half.
Personals- 5/10- Whilst talking about moderating skills doesn't really scream personal.. You had moments with the 'meat and potatoes' line and the 'battling a bot' line.

Big Game-

Punches- 5/10- Hit and miss for me, i mean whilst i liked the 'STFU' line which was nice, talking about roster position and Scotty banning himself has been done so many times and they're stretches IMO.
Flow- 6/10- It worded well, and whilst it wasn't quite on the level of J's for most of the time, you're improving with this element, and your verse was nice to read in my head.
Multies- 5/10- A few examples, at the ends of lines, but multies are multies, and the rest of your setups flowed well without them, so nothing lost.
Personals- 5/10- You were direct, which always helps. But the only point of your verse i'd call personal would be the closer, i mean, accusing someone of such a bitch move of stalking you just to ban you is a pretty big 'fuck you'.

J & Game- 46/80


MVGT- J504 and Big Game.
