there are a few exceptions, as with anything

this is an illusion because topicalists give a fairer shake to battlers who try their hand at topicals. you won't see a single mention of "well you're a battler biting many topicalist styles obv" they just talk about the verse.
almost every single vote against one of the "topical" teams mentioned that they were primarily topical writers. you guys tend to have stronger biases before reading, instead of just reading the punches, so shit that would fly if it came from a well-known battler becomes wack, and vice versa.
if you're good at either of them, you can be good at the other, just have to adapt your writing, which can take time.
