[Certain]

Milk Chocolate: You started slowly. I thought the opening three punches were worded without much emphasis. I guess the glaucoma concept was creative, but the other two lines felt really obvious, to the point that Beyond not having a friend was a joke made by Lars in that thread. So the first impressive punch came with the And1 line, by which point I was already getting a bit cold on your verse. Then you complimented Beyond, which was weird because that line would have worked fine without that. I liked the Milk Dud line to a degree, but most of this was bland. You're two of my favorite battlers, and last round you brought it. But here, this fell flat aside from two lines (And1 and Kent Moore). The wording was way off, too.

Alpha Omega: Paradigm molded his style to fit with Beyond, which was a good move. I'm still 99% sure Beyond wrote most of the first half. (My theory is he also wrote the closer and didn't write the Game of Death line.) But that's fine. The opening two nameplays were good, but "Chip in" didn't connect because I don't think I've ever heard that used as a euphemism for sex. The Game of Death reference was pretty cool, just known enough while still being obscure and original enough to overcome any doubts about the wordplay. The second half of the verse wasn't as strong. The Apple and Hooters lines were great concepts blown in wording. But the closer was really strong. And I think you had this battle before it, to be honest.
