broken halo:

I think I get the idea, story of a pitbull, name-dropped opponent as a dying/weak other dog, then your owner dies... buuuut a lot of it just didn't land for me. shit like "crawl before I die and die before I crawl", "hit third base", "pitbulls shake ya", "dogs that twist until they bend" - it seems like a lot of this was kinda filler to make a semblance of a story without much meat to it - story was like "I'm a pitbull, there's a bulldog that's dumb, some abstraction, then I'm old and my owner died" and never gave me a chance to connect to... anything.

scar:
same gripe imo - it was sorta just a flowery poetry piece about friendship between a dog and a human. not that that's bad, just missing a significant story, even more so than your opponent, with what seems to be the exception with the appalachian trail bit about how maybe the dog was a hunting hound.

weak battle, but I'm scar's verse was tighter and clear in its purpose, despite not giving me a story that I did crave - and despite broken halo's doing that, it did it in a really rag tag, unclear way that didn't make me connect to anything.
