(3) Punchlines- Geno- Geno's were clearer. Christina's were a bit more clever, but went completely over my head when I first read them.
(3) Personals- Geno- I felt the baby/Kentucky lines were harder hitting than the ones Christina used.
(2) Multies- Geno- I feel there's no explanation needed here.
(1) Flow- Tie- Both were pretty consistent, but each had a point or 2 where the flow fell off.
(1) Structure- Tie- Both were pretty similar.
(1) Vocab/Complex- Tie- Neither was very complex or used extensive vocab.
(1) Other- Originality- ChristinaE12 - The Mario references were very clever. I'll admit that I didn't understand them until reading your breakdown and rereading your verse.
11-4 GenoGeno- Your verse was very good. I felt you lost steam towards the end. The last 2 lines were pretty good, but I feel you could have closed the verse better. I fell those lines threw the flow off of an otherwise flawless verse. I think you tried to make the last lines a bit too complex.You clearly have a grasp of multis and seem to use them well. You also had some great personals. I felt the "if you only knew the father" line was the hardest hitting of the whole battle.
ChristinaE12- You did a great job for this being your first battle. You have a lot to improve on, but if you continue to battle/write, it should come naturally, so I'll avoid breaking everything down. If you need help with any of it though, ask, and I'll try my best to explain how to improve a particular skill. I felt your disses were more creative, but unfortunately, the Mario references went over my head until reading your breakdown. I feel that in battles it's better to use references that are more well known so the verse won't require as much as a breakdown.No one will always understand every reference in a battle though, so don't let that deter you from being creative. Hell, maybe I could be the odd one out this battle since I'm unfamiliar with Mario. It happens. You had a very impressive verse for a beginner. I hope to see you improve.
