Mat4yo seems to overcomplicate his lines always. Things don't have to be as intricate as he makes them. Too much of that can be a bad thing.

ERB always says they go at battle lyrics on 3 levels: there are the jokes anyone can get, the jokes that someone with basic knowledge about the characters will get, and the deep jokes that only big fans of those people will understand without help. That allows them to appeal to everyone without oversimplifying.

There have been times where Mat4yo will write lines that are clever, but often times that becomes a detriment to their power as disses. "I can tell it gets little humid in Hogwarts." How is this line a finisher? It's not even that good a line taking away its status as the end of the battle. By avoiding stating the obvious about her frizzy hair he's made it into a line that just sounds strange, and definitely not worthy of topping off the battle.
