Experience is a major component of improvement. Here are some things that you as a mc can work on. This is an open forum, feel free to ask anything, to read important notes, add your own input (disagree with what's being said or forever hold your peace) and practice in this announcement or by PMs.
Have one on one or battle royale pratice battles with our more experienced battlers, get constructive critique and get explanations for rules, vocabulary and terms that might be useful. They are ready and willing to critique and help you to get better battle-wise or otherwise, all you have to do is ask in this announcement and they will appear like magic (atleast I hope so). It's up to you to grab this opportunity and make the most of it.
This isn’t to change anyone’s style but to develop your own style while knowing what draws in the crowd. Also be aware that if it's evident you're only wasting another person's time, they can choose not to hold practice battles with you.

Battle Verses 101
The following is a good knowledge to know about the basics of writing battle verses. Anything that is frowned upon as a battler will have the words.. ”Everyone/Most will frown on you.” underneath it. Oh and just because someone frowns on you doesn't mean you can't improve, keep trying, eveyone has potential with practice. =)
Biting- Biting is the use of another mc's lyrics, punches, and/or verses in a deliberate attempt to pass them off as your own. Not only is it not creative and disrespectful to the original mc, but it places a permanent scar on your reputation that rarely, if ever, goes away.Everyone will frown on you. Recycling- Recycling is basically biting yourself. There isn't a difference between biting someone else and biting yourself and also shows a lack of originality and creativity. Everyone will frown on you. Feeding/Counterpunching- The use of an opponents bars against them, whether trying to discredit them, or fuel your own. More of a touchy topic, and the limits on it are usually different depending on the challenger. In the case of multi-round battles, its a bit more acceptable. However, this generally gives one battler an unfair advantage over the other, so while it may vary on whether it is or isn't allowed. Also shows a lack of originality. Most people will frown on you. Example of feeding:Lucky Lucifer But after this beat down you can consider yourself ******** certainly Not including your other weird hermaphro love affairs For those who don't know - imagine Eminem and Bruno, with more hair. Errianna
I'm ugly, I look like em and bruno and you still wanna ******** about low standards thats basically giving up
Dickriding- Giving excessive credit to another mc, typically when not warranted to do so, or when obvious that few others feel that way. Basically, biasedness. Everyone will frown on you. Emoting- Emoting occurs when in a verse, the mc claims that he will do something to the opposing mc, usually involving some kind of violence or humiliation.jceaz I'd leave you toothless hear me? Real Talk: if you was near me You catch a MAC* to the head like the basis of newtons theory
Only the best and brightest are capable of pulling this off with any success, as it takes good creativity to make them of a high quality. Otherwise it just sounds like you're making empty threats. Either way, over-excessive use of emoting should be avoided.
Footnotes/Context Clues- This refers to further explanation of your punchlines. Few things scare an mc more than the possibility of someone not understanding their punches, and voting against them because of it. To try and prevent this, you will often see people bold or underline specific parts of their bars for emphasis in comprehending the punch.Kinetic-Kidd
I'm only at this for part time, but enough for ya tactless, subpar rhymes
you're no heavyweight, you dominate in a place ruled by bitches, like Ecclesiastic Apartheid!

These are the basics of any good battle verse. The most important step to being a good battlist and writing a good verse is knowing what the crowd looks for when they vote.
Punches- The most important of any battle. Without punches, it hasn't even earned to the dignity to be called a battle verse. Better punchlines equal a win 100% of the time, so it’s in your best interest to learn how to write good ones. A punch is a diss of your opponent. A punch humiliates, embarrasses, demeans, emasculates, discredits, hurts (emotionally) your opponent. Great punches do any or all of the above or the punch can be too weak to put a dent in your opponent.
Punchlines are indeed everything, but if all you're doing is dissing, it might as well be a fight or some kind of argument. Point is, while punches are extremely important, they can only take you so far. Alone, they are just raw disses that can do damage but won't help you in a battle against someone who can beat the s**t of you with punchlines + the following categories.
Personals- The most powerful punchlines that exist. If you're just throwing out a bunch of punches, while they may be good, they're blind disses that could be directed at anyone. If you want a great punch, then as the name suggests, you have to make it personal. This can be as simple as mentioning the mc's name in the bar, but the best and most hard-hitting personals integrate a personal fact or characteristic about the emcee that no one else has. This alone can increase the impact of any punch tenfold.Emcee Ghost ghost got minuture rockets packed in-his-jacket, ready to launch, ready to squish-this-maggot
i hold more wins against him than the number of times Realest been called b***h-and-f*****t(KO)
Using a rather common moniker for this mc, Ghost was able to put together a devastating personal.
Multisyllabic Rhyming (Multies)- Multies are basically bars that have more than 1 syllable that rhymes at the end. Grip, strip, and slip rhyme, but they're not multies. They're whats called String Words. Here's an example of a multi: Terrence Urameshi take your pride,-and-Quick! I honestly reconcile-you-quit!!
and admit that you'll never be vile-or-sick
cuz all these KA Projectiles'll-miss
and runnin popular websites the only thing that'll gain ya style-some-HITS!!/12
Vocabulary- Knowing big words doesn't mean you'll win batttles, but when you have a vast vocabulary, it can add an extra dimension to your punches by making twists and turns on your verses.
Creativity- This is what practically defines your uniqueness as an mc, because your creativity reflects your thought process when writing, your intelligence, and your experience as a battlist. This is also the hardest thing to explain. You can't teach someone how to be creative. I can give a few examples though however. Creativity is in essence, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, creating great punches from usually basic ideas. Here's a few examples of punches that were made simply by using everyday common phrases and expressions:Daddy Kwick v2.0 n' if you're a cut above the rest, it's cuz my knife is in ya neck... Terrence Urameshi Eska's all about Pussies and Queers.....at least he minds his P's and Q's!!! Emcee Ghost these two couldn't walk the WOK! Takin Asians-Students-to-School!!
Nameplay- An extended Personal, nameplay is using a person's name, or definition of their name, to create a punch. This tend to get really amusing when done by skilled battlers.Tec-Knowledge He ain't got proper battle edicate, "TEC WINS" You said it b***h He ain't got the balls to c** to C-T like CON-NEC-TI-CUT (kinetic-kidd).
Wordplay/Puns/Double Entendres- The hardest to execute with any success. This is using the spelling and/or meaning of a word or phrase in a way that utilizes another additional meaning of the phrase at the same time.
Wordplay/Puns/Double Entendres Example:Emcee Ghost kid ya heads done with, after I EN-GUAGE you with my Ring Hammer like marryin a weaponsmith unable to Recognize The Radius Of His Diseased Cousins, cuz SICK aint something he's Fam-Ill-Your-Width Terrence Urameshi I'll smite-this-f**, I can only pray God'll make him sick to me cuz he always preferred d**k, never likin a**( 'like' and 'as') so...I got him on the Similies... cool /1
The last and one of the more obvious of these categories is flow.
Flow- The overall fluidity and smoothness of the verse when read. It annoys people to read verses when the lines are extremely long, or run-on sentences.
As with everything else, there are devices that improve flow and make them easier on the reader. The 1st is multies, which we already discussed.
Rhyme Scheme- Basically a rhyming pattern. If consistent enough, makes it a lot easier for the reader to catch your flow, and verse develops a rhythm. The aforementioned example had this rhyme scheme:
.....A.............B
.....A.............BYou can see the inner rhyme. Here are some others: Syllvurr Trust me, I ain't a pacifist, teez is an a**l masochist who sounds like a patch of cabbage kids block his nasal passages same as the one above. ......A.......B/........A.......B jceaz Win a battle win Ceaz? Nah, heres a more radical-thesis imagine your p***s...in a girls vaginal region eek Why can't he get a girl? What's the Actuall reason? He's just scared that the faggots will attack him for treason
............A/A.............A, then ..............A/.................A
Inner rhyme still present in the 1st one, and consistent flow.
