Predictions
by Sharp Nine
Alright, there’s a lot of fucking predictions so I’ll keep this brief. Without further ado…
@RdotC vs. @Camp Bell
RdotC’s reasonably experienced and the owner of RIA, though I don‘t know much about him. Camp’s been improving a lot and is a solid flex guy. He’s gotten a lot better with UW and I can eventually see him turning that flow ish into some battle verses that read really smoothly, but he isn’t there yet. Also he may have abandoned the site with the rest of the Nomads
RdotC: 75/25
What Knuck thinks... Chrit will win, Camp will learn a valuable lesson and improve
@Death vs. @anime_boners
Death aka DLB is rusty but had a decent league showing. I have no idea when Reed battled last, only thing I’ve seen from him was a solid verse in SC III. This could really go either way in my mind, depending on how rusty these two are. Should be a really good battle though.
Either way: 50/50
What Knuck thinks... cool battle of two 4chan lovers. I got Reed if he is as good as he was on HF
@Allen Knight vs. @Flak
No point in predicting, battle’s already up.
@ill nik-A vs. @Rap Maestro
Rap Maestro is not Maestr0. He’s a new guy with a lot of room to grow. Nik’s a vet who should be able to take this pretty easily.
Nika: 95/5
What Knuck thinks... WE DID IT!!
@Patrick vs. @Aesthetic
Already open.
What Knuck thinks... and Patrick will/did win
@Cashius vs. @FGR
FGR’s a promising new guy who I think will be making moves in leagues if he stays in, if not in the last few weeks of this one then the next one for sure. Cashius is dope with consistently solid showings, he should be able to handle this, though FGR is a guy to watch.
Cashius: 80/20
What Knuck thinks... FGR had a cool verse this week in the NBL, but Cashius is doooppe.. FGR could win a close one if he comes his best and Cashius is rushed.
@Arch. vs. @Edgar AlPo
What Knuck thinks... Sharp forgot this one. If Chyeah brings his A game and doesn't just keystyle without looking back and Arch is rusty as fuck, he could win. I got Arch though 80/20
@Bags vs. @ThisisDAM
DAM is a writer. Bags has a ton of experience, though he’d probably be rusty if not for the occasional pinkslip battle. Haven’t seen DAM battle but barring any surprises Bags can take this
Bags: 70/30
What Knuck thinks... Bagsworth will beat this peon on his way to claiming the throne and entering the HOF
@Shank Sinatra vs. @Tryce
Shank’s a solid battler who’s been in a few champ matches lately. I’m pretty sure Tryce is new to text, so shank can probably take this on experience.
Shank: 80/20
What Knuck thinks... Shank shanks him
@God Of War vs. @KZVR
GoW’s dope when he shows. KZVR had a solid 1-2 showing but I don’t think its up to where GoW’s at. If he shows, God has it but KZVR is decent enough to be in the second round
GoW: 85/15
What Knuck thinks... Ron of War is hungry and has a taste for blood
@Aero vs. @Dystopian
Aero tha GOAT. Dystopian’s been inconsistent but can bring it occasionally. From what I’ve seen from both I’d give Aero a decent margin.
Aero: 70/30
What Knuck thinks... Plot is a really cool dude but a mediocre battler, and he won't take the GOAT
@Untold vs. @billy 12
This is gonna be one to watch IMO. Untold’s making moves in NBL and billy’s apparently and older head. The one battle I saw from billy didn’t impress me, I think he’s rusty enough where Untold can get this. Could be close though.
Untold: 60/40
What Knuck thinks... twelve the rudge1 dick taster will get demolished by the new up n comer
@King Ra. vs. @The Bully
King Ra’s the dude, but there’s a 5% chance of him showing. And if he does, Philly’s had much more impressive battles, while Ra’s more of a topical dude. Could be a cool battle, since Ra’s a decent battler but Philly will get this on experience.
Philly: 85/15
What Knuck thinks... keith is cool but Philly is undefeated, and though I don't know WHO he even battled, it sounds like he is a problem.. so he should eat keith alive.
@Ctrl Alt Elite vs. @Mr. J
Crtl’s an experienced head with some slick wording and cool concepts. Mr. J I’ve only ever seen do topical. Barring any surprises, Crtl should take this pretty easily.
Ctrl: 80/20
What Knuck thinks... CTRL wins, Mr. J is a topical head and I think he might have thought this was a poetry slam tourney
@NYCSPITZ vs. @Alvin Karpis
NYC was one of the top dudes with longbar, but hasn’t really made waves in a shortbar setting. Karp’s the defending SC champ and has been pretty dope all in all. Karp should get this, but it’ll be a cool battle for sure.
Karpis: 80/20
What Knuck thinks...the young Gawd Perry may surprise us all......... Or Karp murders him
@Pryde vs. @Beyond
Pryde’s been around for awhile but isn’t the most consistent. Bey champed the last major tournament on old NC (Fall Brawl) and is one of the best in text. He should do a lot of damage in this tourney. Probably will be a one-sided win for him.
Beyond: 90/10
What Knuck thinks... Pryde will be put in his place
@Black Mask vs. @KennyCerealBowl
Black Mask is an older head who’s solid, haven’t seen anything recent from him but he probably won’t be rusty enough where it’ll get in the way of this battle. Kenny is new to text, and while I’ve only seen him cypher its pretty clear he’s got a lot of developing to do before he’s a threat.
Black Mask: 90/10
What Knuck thinks... if kenny drops like he did in the FN cypher, he will be leveled
@Utmost vs. @UnoQuattrosThres
Utmost is a pretty solid battler. Uno’s a writer. Utmost should be able to handle the battle decently, he’s got more experience and skill on his side. Uno could surprise us though.
Utmost: 70/30
What Knuck thinks... Uno has an anime themed profile so he might bring the txt ruckus
@Sharp Nine vs. @mimic
If Mimic wins its because I’ve met with a terrible fate between now and Friday, most likely involving a brain aneurism from an overload of how many ways I can make fun of this poor, poor soul.
Sharp Nine: 200/red
What Knuck thinks... this was nothing more than a gift to my friend Sharp
@Ronic vs. @Dominate
Ronic’s a decent new guy, but Dom’s easily one of the best active in text. He’s definitely one of the guy to look out for in this tournament and should have no issues getting through this round.
Dominate: 95/5
What Knuck thinks... Dom is a possible Finals guy, so yeah...
@Lotto Smirk vs. @john hensley
Lotto’s been improving slowly but seems to have fallen into a rut lately. Hens is a dope older head coming back to compete and is a past SC winner. He should take this pretty easily
Hensley: 95/5
What Knuck thinks... May God let Lottos soul rest
@Jay vs. @Strikta
Jay’s been highly decorated on RIA and is a solid competitor in the NBL. Strik may have retired or something but is back or I don’t even know anymore. If strik plans on showing he should be able to win, but it’ll be a good battle.
Strik: 70/30
@Defiant vs. @Seyance
Seyance has done alright in the 1-2 league. Defiant is a solid and experienced battler, but he may not show. If he does, he’ll probably take it but Seyance will put up a good fight.
Defiant: 75/25
What Knuck thinks... I actually think Seyance will edged this if he is as sharp as he once was. It will be close though and Defiant can easily win by landslide depending on the situation.. my gut says Seyance though
@Split vs. @Flo Real
Split’s an okay battler but he doesn’t battle too often. Flo’s been improving a lot and has made some solid league showings. I’m feeling split will take this if he shows, but it’ll probably be the closest battle of the round if Flo comes as well as he can.
Split:60/40
What Knuck thinks... Split is a standup guy, and good topical head. Never seen him battle though, and Flo has had some really close L's with some good heads so this is a toss up to me.
@Rawn MacDon vs. @SiK
Never seen Rawn battle, but he’s a good writer. Sik’s a little rusty but is still overall solid. Edging it to SiK but Rawn definitely can make it interesting
SiK: 65/35
What Knuck thinks... Never seen SiK drop but Rawn is as a poor a boarder as he is a battler, so SiK will get it easily I would hope
@Smashalot vs. @Karaoke
Karaoke’s dope but hasn’t been showing much. Don’t know anything about smashalot, so I’m feeling Karaoke should get this if he shows. Smash might surprise us though.
Karaoke: 85/15
What Knuck thinks... smashalot random alias, could win... not likely though.
@Orc vs. @R!canTheoryz
Yep.
Orc.
What Knuck thinks... R!can has gotten a few wins in the NBL because of weak comp, this will end his run brutally
@Rayge vs. @Lifted
Rayge is pretty dope, while lifted is bleak who’s bad about showing. And Rayge has beaten him before. Rayge’ll get this on consistency for sure.
Rayge:75/25
What Knuck thinks... this could be close, and a decent battle. Bleak aka Lifted can bring some good bars, but also some out there garbage. Rayge is a bit more consistent and overall better, he SHOULD kill that inbred child but you never know.
@Hush vs. @Guillotine Keith
What Knuck thinks..Hush will slaughter the young new comer with the force of a million nuclear warheads
