I think the main things you need to work on are
1) having some kind of presence or confidence.
2) use less "urban" slang, it's awkward coming from you
3) more memorable lines

Basically, if you're going to separate yourself from all the other nerdy, white, KOTD battlers, you need to step up your performance skills and become more of a distinctive character. If you're unable to do this and want to keep battling as just another nerdy, white, KOTD battler, then you should stay in that lane. You can't write like Bender if you don't have the image of Bender. Talking about what your gonna do to "card game" (without the apostrophe S) just doesn't work coming from you. Also, for someone who comes off as a text battler, you didn't have many quotable lines or schemes. I think you should try to have at least one of those in each round.

I really appreciate the feedback man. The confidence is something I've been actively working on, though that comes as much with experience as it does effort. I also hear you on playing to the image...I try to do that to a certain extent but I try to subvert it as well. And yeah, quotables really weren't on deck for this battle as I took it way more lightly than I should've, the next one to drop will show a marked improvement in that regard and I've got enough in my backlog that the next one should be an absolute festival.

Thanks for taking the time to critique dude.

[KeepCalm]

Illipsis all day because fuck manik.

[The Kang]

Card took the first round easy and lost the other 2 easy...I agree with the decision...and I also think Ill should battle Manik now

[nnnnnnnnn]

illipsis vs thesaurus set it up

[thewyzeone]

Was a good battle. Definitely enjoyed it live. Agree with the decision, but the second is the most debatable round. First was card, third illipsis.

[Im Technical]

Just watched the battle where manik gets punked by illmac for comedy value, i think illypsis would bodybag manik.

You need to step your presence up but that will take time and experience in the ring but your lyrics are decent. You should try and get some battles for smaller leagues if you can just for practise so next time you go on kotd it wont faze you.

You should also hit up boxing classes and kick the shit out of manik then make a youtube video of him apologising to you, then make him apologise to his people for shaming thier race. On a real though, boxing would make you much more confident if you have any interest in the sport or just want to get fit.

[Liights]

Agree with the split decision, both cats brought some heat.

I had Card, tie leaning to lipsis, lipsis in the rounds.
Illipsis needs to work on his delivery a little bit, and include a few more punches.
Card should focus a little on his enunciation, and the "slow it down" theme got a little tired for me by the third time.

Overall this was a pleasure to watch, and I wish both dudes the best in their future shit.

[WildcardIAL]

I'd like to thank everyone for the feedback. We see everything from Illipsis 3-0 to me 3-0 and everything in between. Thats what good battles are all about.
That bring said.........I got that 2-1 :D

[TheIlliterate]

Wildcard 3-0 , Tyrion Lannister needs to pop a vicodin

We both underestimated each other and took it light. You can tell that was neither of us at our full potential

[JackDeuce]

Since this was GZ I just watched to see how illipsis did and skipped wild cards rounds for the most part because I assumed he was terrible. Lipsis needs to relax, and 50% of his problems would be solved by shooting/stabbing someone
