Presidential Reviews

[Lancer]

Here's my review of URBOF's Queen Elsa vs. Sub-Zero. Next is Sam Fisher vs. Agent 47.

Spoiler: 

Beat: Oh yes. This is incredible. So much variety in the instrumentals, really intense and exciting, catchy, fits both of the rappers well, it's just excellent all around. Maybe a bit more fitting for Elsa than Sub-Zero, but if that's the biggest complaint, then you've got a good beat. 9.5/10

Impressions: Elsa's voice isn't spot on or anything, but she doesn't have a distinctive voice so it's not that distracting. At least the singing's pretty great. The effects on Sub-Zero's voice are pretty good too, so I can't complain much here either. 8/10

Queen Elsa-Round 1: The babe-ality line is alright, not brilliant, but it's a good reference. I like the cruel heart line, but the adolescent princess line isn't really a boast or a dis so it seems a bit pointless. The next two lines aren't too clever, but I like the Noob line a lot and the fractal line is pretty good too. I don't really see the point of adding in the "Snow glows white" part. It sounds cool, but again, it doesn't really make any sort of point, and neither does the Armageddon line, really. The last two lines are pretty good references though. 8/10

Sub-Zero-Round 1: First line is kind of filler, but the second line is a pretty good reference, as is the Raiden reference. I also like the Cold Shoulder pun, but the next two lines are more references than jokes. The Khan line isn't too clever, but it's funny. The Nazi line's OK, but I've kind of seen the joke before, although I really like the Frosty line. The next few lines don't have a great reference to joke ratio, but the last line is a nice little pun. 7.5/10

Queen Elsa-Round 2: First line is a decent reference, not too clever but it at least makes a point. There are better Olaf jokes that could've been made, but it's not a bad line. The cryomance line is alright, but I really like the Zero line. The Scorpion line is good, but it seems like it's just pointing out one of Sub's feats without really dissing it, so it's a bit of a counter-productive line. The Let It Go line had to be done and it could've definitely been a lot worse than this one. 8/10

Sub-Zero-Round 2: The first line isn't really that clever, and the second line isn't much of a reference. The marshmallow-hard to swallow pair is pretty funny, and the Hans line is even funnier. Really like the pain of my fist line, and while the last lines are kind of obvious, they did have to be done, and much like the Let it Go line, it could've been much worse. This is the best verse in the battle, and it wins it for Sub-Zero. 9/10

Overall: The battle is pretty great. Nice references, good puns, sounds great and the editing is also probably the best I've seen from any non-live action fan made battle. The lyrics aren't perfect, as at times there isn't a great joke to reference ratio, and there are also a few filler lines here and there. Still, those flaws aren't too noticeable in this because there's so much to like in it. 8/10

Queen Elsa's Best Line: Forget the sub, emphasize on the zero!
Queen Elsa's Worst Line: I'm winning this for all the adolescent princesses
Sub-Zero's Best Line: It’s windy in here, feel my breath, FROSTY!
Sub-Zero's Worst Line: I fucked you up the first time with the words I spew!

Final Results:
Queen Elsa: 16/20
Sub-Zero: 16.5/20

Total Score: 58/70 (equivalent to 41.5/50)

Yeeee! Thanks!

Just as a clarification, This battle will be your last! is a reference to Sub-Zero's pre-fight quote, This fight will be your last!
Also Legacy and Armageddon are two of the Mortal Kombat movies. (So she's literally ripping on the movie while ripping on the movies with the Legacy line)
Ironically the Optic Blast line is a Street Fighter reference, felt like throwing in one to a similar fighting game.

One more battle with Gonad in it. http://www.erboh.com/forum/showthrea...834#post375834

Here's my review of GonadtheNomad's Sam Fisher vs. Agent 47. Next is rangernumberx vs. Clemi.

Spoiler: 

Sam Fisher-Round 1: First line isn't that clever, while the second line is alright, nothing brilliant. The Absolution line isn't bad, while the next line is OK. The AK47 line is more of a reference than a joke, but I like the 7-Eleven line a lot. The GamesRadar line is another jokeless reference, and the fact that he's only #37 isn't too impressive. The Mark and Execute line is a bit obvious, but it's still good. Last two lines are decent references. None of the lines in this verse are THAT great (aside from the 7-Eleven line) but there are a lot of just "above average" lines that make this a good verse. 8.5/10

Agent 47-Round 1: The first line is just filler, and the second line isn't really a dis. Most of this verse is pretty blunt, and not very subtle. That's not to say the lines are bad, it just none of them really blow me away. Probably because most of them are more reference-y than joke-y. 7.5/10

Sam Fisher-Round 2: The disguises line is a pretty good reference, but the second line is pretty filler. The silverballers pun is funny, while the last line sort of wastes a line on a reference that could've have been used for a better joke, instead of just bringing it up. 8/10

Agent 47-Round 2: I don't like how the first line just references Briggs and doesn't make any jokes, and the second line just follows up on that and doesn't really add anything. The Splinter Fell line isn't brilliant, but it's funny, and the last line is an alright reference. 8/10

Overall: The biggest problem with this battle is that there are too many references and not enough jokes. That's definitely better than having it the other way around, but still, most lines in this battle are just "good", very few of them reach "greatness". 7.5/10

Sam Fisher's Best Line: There's better killers than you in the cigarette aisle of 7-Eleven
Sam Fisher's Worst Line: I'm a soldier, served for twenty years
Agent 47's Best Line: I'll make it look like you Splinter Fell to your death
Agent 47's Worst Line: You can't seriously think your games are at all superior

Final Results:
Sam Fisher: 16.5/20
Agent 47: 15.5/20

Total Score: 39.5/50

this pls.

Keep in mind some of it is comedic relief, like I was trying to be funny in the battle. Like a master sword joke and the last line. I thought it was a nice change of pace.

Here’s my review off rangernumberx vs. Clemi. Next is Harry Potter vs. Luke Skywalker.

Spoiler: 

Clemi: Don’t want to do a weird format for this so I’m just going to lump all the verses into one category. Anyway, in the first verse, the first line is pretty good, but the second line isn’t really a reference to anything. There are better “Real Lime Shady jokes” that could be made, and then the next few lines are hardly references. I like the teabagged line, and the last line is a decent reference. In the second verse, the only line I really like is the God of Bronies line. The first and third lines aren’t really references, and the last line is kind of a broad reference. The parodies in the third verse are pretty good alternatives. I also like the class pun and the colony threat at the end. 16.5/20

rangernumberx: The Real Lime Shady reference is pretty good, but it’s not really a boast or a dis, so it seems kind of pointless. I didn’t know Clemi’s height was a thing on here, so I wasn’t a huge fan of the Napoleon line, but the rolling one line is a pretty good reference. The chatbox adventures line is a bit of a miss for me, but I like the Rémi and Scenes from a Hat references. The last line has potential, and it’s not bad, but it’s just not too clever. The admin joke in the second verse is kind of wasted. It’s just mentioned, there’s no dis or anything. The wimps line is also a bit too obvious. The iron mask line is pretty good though. As for the last verse, I might be missing something on the first line, but it seems kind of filler. I really like the Glass Joe reference, and the Les Miserables line is pretty blunt but still funny, much like the original Space Jam line. 16/20

Overall: Pretty good battle, all things considered. While the reference to joke ratio isn’t always perfect, it’s pretty consistent for the most part. There are also a lot of filler lines, which isn’t good. But there’s a lot more good than bad here. 8/10

Clemi's Best Line: Why don't you give up that battle like you did to roll to dodge ?
Clemi's Worst Line: Cause you've don't have nothing in your head and nothing on your crotch
rangernumberx's Best Line: I'll leave you like Glass Joe, asleep on the floor!
rangernumberx's Worst Line: I'll clear the forum of you in ten seconds flat.

Final Results:
Clemi: 16.5/20
rangernumberx: 16/20

Total Score: 40.5/50

Here's my review of Harry Potter vs. Luke Skywalker. Next is Clemi vs. rangernumberx.

Spoiler: 

Beat: This beat is pretty boring. It at least fits the rappers, so it’s not TERRIBLE, but it’s just sooooo repetitive. It’s got little to no variety and rarely changes any notes. 5/10

Impressions and Costumes: The Harry costume isn’t terrible, but Luke’s costume seems way too simple. Where’s his belt? The impressions are non-existent. Really, Harry’s voice is just a British accent. I don’t care how crappy it is, just a British accent would be OK. Was that so hard to do? 3.5/10

Harry Potter-Round 1: The first line is actually a pretty decent set up, and it makes me think the punchline will be something cool, but nope just "threw pride down the drain". "Duke Guystalker" is....well it's an effort so I'll give it a bit of credit. The Han Solo thing is just so hilariously tryhard. The kissing sister joke is one of the most exploitable jokes you could make about Luke, and it's pretty much just wasted here. It's not even a dis, it's just a question. I don't get the "flipping batons" thing, but I guess the Obi Wan joke is OK. 5.5/10

Luke Skywalker-Round 1: The first two lines are completely referenceless. The dad line is an attempt, but just saying “you don’t have a dad” isn’t really that much of a dis to me, and the uncle line is just a pretty generic insult. I could’ve seen the number of movies line going somewhere, but it fails because they messed up Luke’s line. If he had said “I could do it in 3", it wouldn’t have been bad, but they got the reference wrong. Now I don’t even know what happened to the audio at the Deathly Hollows line, but it’s a lame line either way, and the Daniel Radcliffe reference is completely wasted here. 4/10

Harry Potter-Round 2: The Hermoine Granger line is alright, I guess, at least it’s a reference. I don’t think there’s much I can say about the Return of the Jedi line. Just WHY. The number of chins line is probably the biggest laugh of the battle outside the lines where Harry does....the thing. The Tatooine line isn’t bad though. At least this verse has two semi-decent lines. What I’ve noticed in this review is that while Luke has weaker lines, Harry is more laughably bad. 6/10

Luke Skywalker-Round 2: The letter line has potential, but it just comes off as stupid in the end, especially with the wacky text effects. I don’t know if the car line is supposed to be a threat or a dis or whatever, but either way it’s a wasted reference. “What kind of a name is Harry Potter?” I don’t know, why don’t you tell me what’s wrong with that name instead of just implying it’s a bad name? Just make a joke or a pun or SOMETHING. I don’t think Skywalker Slaughter is a reference to anything, so I don't like it. The last line is just complete and utter wat. Verbal father? What does that even mean? How is that a dis, or a boast or a threat or I don’t even 1.5/10

Overall: This battle is just rushed. Most of it seems like it was done freestyle, which is NOT a good thing for a pre-written battle. There’s just no effort, and there are multiple parts in the battle where the lack of effort is really obvious and laughable. I suppose there’s an OK line here and there, but there’s just not nearly enough for me to consider it “good” by any stretch of the imagination. 3.5/10

Harry Potter’s Best Line: Your rhymes couldn’t even burn on the planet Tatooine!
Harry Potter’s Worst Line: Even Han Solo is a better (Rapper than YOUUUUUU)
Luke Skywalker’s Best Line: My dad may be mean, but at least I have one (I’m sorry, I honest to God couldn’t get anything better than this)
Luke Skywalker’s Worst Line: Your disses are boring, they make me yawn

Final Results:
Harry Potter: 11.5/20
Luke Skywalker: 5.5/20

Total Score: 29/70

Harry Potter’s Worst Line: Even Han Solo is a better (Rapper than YOUUUUUU)

fuck you that's the best line

[Samos]

fuck you that's the best line

Oh, it absolutely would've been if Polar told me to review it for entertainment value alone.

What I'm saying here is, blame Polar.

Here’s my review of Clemi vs. rangernumberx. Next is Luis Suarez vs. Edward Cullen.

Spoiler: 

Clemi-Round 1: The first line is pretty filler, but the second line is a decent pun. The next few lines range from referenceless jokes to jokeless references, but the Hitler line and Jack the Ripper line are both good. I really like how the grunts were handled here, it’s pretty funny. The Billy no mates line is a pretty good reference, as are the lines at the end of the verse. 8.5/10

rangernumberx-Round 1: First line is nothing special, but the second line is pretty funny. The killing comparison is pretty good and the board game line is also pretty clever. The French hens line is good and the limes pun is too. The next few lines have a few references, but not too many jokes. I like the Big Ben reference a lot and the YN line is alright too. 8.5/10

Clemi-Round 2: The handicap line is decent, nothing brilliant but it’s a nice dis. The tea bag line is pretty funny, and the French kiss line is pretty nice too. Listing all of the forumers you’ve “beaten” is more referencey than jokey, but at least the last line is good. 8.5/10

rangernumberx-Round 2: I like the Friday dis. The blog line is OK, but the following line isn’t a reference, to my knowledge. The Dreadnaughts line is good, the ZeMasked line is more of a reference than a joke, but the Dion’s lungs line is pretty funny. Not quite enough for the win, unfortunately. 8/10

Overall: A bit of a step up from the last Clemi vs. ranger REWF I reviewed. The reference to joke ratio is definitely higher in this one, and there’s quite a few more laughs as a result. Still a filler line and a jokeless reference here and there, but it’s not very noticeable this time around. 8.5/10

Clemi’s Best Line: Step to me, and have a better POV to French kiss my ass
Clemi’s Worst Line: There's a moment when you should be careful, Ranger !
rangernumberx’s Best Line: Making me feel sicker than your baguette laden pizza!
rangernumberx’s Worst Line: I don't give a damn if you’re in my way

Final Results:
Clemi: 17/20
rangernumberx: 16.5/20

Total Score: 42/50
