He's wack - We all know that stal's flow ain't fit with an exploding scheme
Hurst back, reverse that when I stick the blade 'in-stal' like a loading screen

Skep: I had no problems with your bar at all other than that I've seen the 'in stal' theme before and while it is an impressive play it just didn't have the same impact as the first time I read it. Overall a solid bar though I can't complain.

Stalin: I'm glad you didn't sacrifice punching power with the multi-heavy approach and while the 'skep ta kill' play may have been used before this was the first time I've seen it and it was pretty clever. Like Skep's bar I have no problems with this but I feel like the accurate usage of multis coupled with the more original punch was what took it for me.

Good battle guys.

Vote - Stalin

Sk.
'He's wack' ... nice start ... you don't think he's good at all, I get it ... but then the rest of the setup just seemed like an odd choice of words to fit a multi. Sorry that I didn't get the 'Hurst' reference ... I did try googling it, I promise ... and I appreciate the wordplay in the punch, but I did have a problem with it as a name flip, as for me the first syll of 'Stalin' isn't close enough to the 2nd syll of 'install'

St.
I'm immediately drawn to the multi-laden structure. And overall this pretty much reads and flows nicely for it,
But the set up doesn't really do much ... then I really like the first half of second line but having problems with the end punch ... The nameplay is ok, but not really feeling the wording here.

I thought this was could go either way, and I actually changed my mind during voting.
But right now ... MFVGT Skep

Skep, pretty neat bar, your set up failed to bring truth unfortunately. Punch was aight in itself, the idea could perhaps been expanded upon further, still prety nice.

Stal, massive flow, punch was simple but effective, the whole bar came off as prety effortless, wich is a plus.

Close call, punchwize pretty even but I give it to Stal for best bar overall.

Evenly matched bout this one
Punches are both unimaginative and lacklustre
Stalin had that overworked multi feel to it, which is cool but only if it's heading to a good punch
Skep didn't have that overworked multi feel but it did still seem to flow smoother
It's not much in this so it's just coming down to preference
Vote Skep
