I agree, but we're in the minority. I often prefer Epic Lloyd's characterizations over Nicepeter's, because they involve better vocal impersonations of the character. It's an added challenge to say, rap... in the... halting manner of speech... used by.... Captain Kirk. So nice peter has a better flow, but he's usually rapping as himself (eg. Steve Jobs, Cat in the Hat, John Lennon), or as characters where his regular voice can be easily edited to fit the character's voice (eg. Darth Vader and Stephen Hawking).

Of course the "who won" thing is a little silly anyway. It's pretty clear that Lloyd and Peter are trying to make good raps collaboratively. And they have different roles within each of the raps - Epic Lloyd usually plays comical villains, while nicepeter is the good guy/ straight man. That dynamic tends to produce a better final product than if both emphasized silly characterizations over flow, or flow over silly characterizations.
