I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS TUTORIAL
The first was posted by ToxN on RapDogs, the second was posted by Artifact of rapdogs. This should help elaborate a little more on what Maybe is saying.

VVV Below is a Textstyle battle tutorial. (for beginners)

Tip#1: Be Creative

Almost all the newcomers battle with the same, generic punches.
"I'll shoot you with my tech nine/ Take out your spine"
Something like that.. well let me tell you this.. it's all been said before, and therefore is boring, and unoriginal. If you must talk about shooting people with your guns that you probably don't have.. let alone touched, at least be creative about it and try saying it like no one else has... such as
"I dare you to look down the barrel-of-my-gun/ And what's left of you.. there'll-be-none"
It's saying the same thing the first punch did, but it's said with a uniqueness that the ordinary MC wouldn't think to use. Creativity is a category that a lot of voters use to judge the battle on, therefore you should be more creative than your opponent to win the battle.

Tip#2: Be Personal

You should NEVER, NEVER rap a verse at someone without being personal. It other words... make sure the person you are dissing knows that you are dissing them specifically. It's ok to use punchlines that could be said to everyone, such as "You got no skills/ Not only that.. you got no bills" but it's better to use a play on their name. For instance.. if the rapper's name was Rap It Up... you could use a personal punchline on them such as "You probably like it when men slap-ya-butt/ You gotta kid now cuz you forgot to Rap-It-Up (wrap it up)". The more personal you are the better your verse will be, and the better chance you have to win the Personal category voters use to rate the battle on.

Tip#3: Keep Your Flow

The flow of your verse could very likely be the difference between the win and the loss. If you don't have a good flow to your verse, then the voters have a hard time reading it and may not get the full effect of what you're trying to say. If you have a line that is "xxxxxxxxxx" long and then the next line is "xxxx" long then the reader may not read it right, and therefore may be confused on what you're trying to stress. It's just like flowing to a beat... you have to rap to the same beat throughout your verse, don't change the tempo. If you can do this, the better chance you have to outweigh your opponent in the Flow category.

Tip#4: Use Multies

Ok.. I need to point out something.. I bet if I asked everyone what a multi was, 45% of the people would get it wrong and 45% just straight up wouldn't know.. and those numbers aren't good since it's a major voting category. A multi is multiple syllable rhyming within the same line. For instance:
The best-ya-not so I'll leave ya rest-to-rot/He rhymes 'Old Fashioned' like Wendy's rest-au-rant//
There is a multi in the first line with best-ya-not and rest-to-rot, but there is not multi in the second line. In an example here:
You're dead so I'm a leave you rest to rot/ Face it in this game, the best-ya-not//
There is no multi, because the rhyming isn't on the same line.. make sense?

Tip#5: Don't Talk About Yourself

You are dissing your opponent, therefore you should be putting him down, not upping yourself. Saying things like "I'm the best/ from the east to west" is doing nothing but hurting yourself. If your not making fun of your opponent, you might as well be making fun of yourself.

Tip#6: Avoid Fillers

Fillers are lines that you use simply to set up your next line, while saying nothing. A filler would be "You better check the clock.." if that was a line, what was saying or doing to diss your opponent? Nothing. Everyline should be hurting your opponent.

Tip#7: Hit Hard

Punchlines should be completely murderizing your opponent, not just saying rhymes. An example of a weak punchline would be "Your so stupid/I'll shoot you like cupid" If someone said that to me, I wouldn't be offended what-so-ever... you really need to diss your opponent and be a bastard, otherwise battling isn't for you. An example of a hard punchline would be "You think that you're some kinda concentration champ?/
B.itch, I'll put you in a concentration camp"... now that hurts. Harder punches will win you the Punchline category.

Tip#8: Use Wordplay

Wordplay is well... a play on words. This means saying one thing and it's also meaning another. For instance "I'm a 'bug killer', spraying this pest-aside (pesticide)." The play is on the word 'pesticide.' Wordplay only works well when it meaning makes sense both ways. If you said "I'm gonna make you dye (die)" it doesn't work because saying 'I'm gonna make you dye' doesn't make sense, even though 'I'm gonna make you die' does. Wordplay helps win the Wordplay category, as well as the Creativity category as well, so it
