Knife to his neck, this swipe to the left will open more than just your DMs

[Smog]

If all u wants to beat me, then ya front 2 teeth needa top that wish list
Cuz As many times as I've given Noels.. this 1's fuckin up ur god damn Christmas

[Joe Boston]

Smog think u worded this finisher wrong basically saying youve given no ls i dont know how i feel about that how it correlates with the impact of being a hard hit. The flip was cool the wordplay itself is pretty old. P direct hit but i felt the whole instagram dm shit is played they use it alot in live battles just kinda corny to me using it to be a kill reference.

Smog like i said fumbled worded maybe as many times i recived noels wouldve hyped it up more. P like i said ill give it to you for a direct punch i just dont like the concept.

This one was tough for me...

KnowP - I’ve used the Swift left tinder etc concept before, probably even flipped it a couple times too. Yours had a nice flip to it, but the fact that it isn’t too original of a concept takes away from the overall impact. 6.5/10

Smog - you had a nice concept here but Man you executed it quite poorly. There was no sting attached to your punch and this is basically a typical case of “Ima rely on the wordplay alone to work here” type of bar. So yeah, I like the concept but it was not done to the best of its ability. 5/10


Vote - KnowP

[Krucial Th1rt3en]

i like both bars.
but knowP's was harder, the swipe to the left open more than your dm's.
dope punch, wordplay, and imagery
smog's was dope too though

v/know

[OG Maestro]

Seems like everything that needed to be pointed out, has already been.
KnowP had a decent, but played flip vs. an untimely concept and lack of execution from Smog. Nothing else to say

Vote: KP

[plethora]

Expected a better battle here. Both bars were played tbh, so im going with the lesser played bar.

V/Know P

Well im editing my vote because i apologize i missed something in smogs bar re rereading it its an old nameplay concept know ls/noels. Good flip overall but gotta stick to my opinion of this being an old reference overall. P still didnt like his whole idea but overall the Punch was more direct.

V/P

[Requiem]

KnowP - punch was pretty good but the set up left a lot lacking. Could’ve used it tie some other concept in to really emphasize the punch. Seemed either rushed or just a lack of care.

Smog- you’ve won often on personals but this week you strayed far from that and it hurt you. All in all a decent punch but lacking that finish em flare you tend to use.
