I'm 1-0 in my topical career

But then The Witness came to the lime.

And I retired.

@Bags is right I think. Some guys just have a natural ability to throw out a dope text battle in like 10 minutes. On NC I see a lot of guys not really focusing on their first line, so basically all you have to do is come up with like 5 punches and word them, then rhyming them off is easy. Some dudes just kill with that.

Where as I take a few days to write a topical. I need to click with a writing style and stuff. I start with the topic. Usually think about it a couple of times on the first or second day, write down the basic plotpoint the next day, write out a few key lines the next and then around the final day I start rhyming it and putting it together. Shit takes a while and is soooooo much easier to procrastinate while writing.

To be honest, I only started doing topicals back in 2008 cause I wasn't getting anywhere with text battling on LB. I was still fairly abysmal and could only to gun/battle bars (You couldn't step on lines in a basketball court, You couldn't pop caps opening battles blah blah). I discovered topical battling on HHA with YD and Word.smyth and shit and kept it up. If I was awesome at text I'd probably have never given it a shot.
