Fuuuck another really good battle. I'm gonna side with Smoshery on this one.

I think a really risky move on Metal's part was writing three lines addressing the little effort put into them:

With disses with more Links than the Zelda timeline

That was a lazy rhyme but I don’t give a fuck

You’re not worth the effort but you’ll still need luck

The first line is just the lazy one itself, the second being the set up for the joke, and the third being the punchline that--while it sounds good on paper--isn't hard hitting enough against Smoshery and now three lines are gone to waste without any great insults thrown.

I don't know why Metal wrote the "You lost to TK" line because that just opens the door wide open for Smoshery to make the rebuttal, which he did. If you count this, then that's four lines that could've been used a lot better imo.

I think Metal's second verse was a lot better. The first two lines are my favorite in the whole battle:

You were a Skater Boy, you said bid adieu

But every user was like “Uh, who the hell are you?”

Maybe if this couplet was saved for the finisher and not the opener, more votes would be leaning Metal's way. They're two pretty great lines with a very good punchline that made me go "oh shit".

Smoshery did pretty great as usual, using a lot of links again but yknow,  and I think he took it in the end.
