What defines a textcee as one of the GOATs?

[Strikta]

Here to say I agree that anyone can beat anyone provided they have the experience to know what works. It's all about effort, & being free from distractions imo.. in the battle game anyway.

I've beaten some of the best & lost to some fucking no names(not often tho).

Even a blind squirrel gets a nut some day.

Consistency is definitely the measure when talking GOATs tho, obviously.

I have a few notable (to me) wins against Sephiroth, Serge and the good Metts brother. I would freely admit to not being the text battler those guys are/were at their primes though.

I was always more a topical head, especially over the course of the last 7-8 years.

In my younger, naive, RapBattles/RipTheMic days I was predominantly a text battler (albeit not a very good one).

TL;DR: I am one of the topical GOATs. Even @deadman ducked a battle vs me this week. @Pent uP has ducked me twice now in significant tourneys here. I beat @Certain, beat @Vulgar, beat @unbornbuddah, beat @Adonis, beat @Mr.j, beat Objective, beat @Frank beat @MMLP, BEAT @Nigma with a verse I keyed on short notice after he got noshowed, I posted the same day and won, beat @timeless, beat @Innovator Who do I need to beat to finally solidify my spot with gorillas, huh?

I don't think we have topical battled yet. Tbh I look forward to it
