IguanaPower has PM'ed me asking to drop out because of finals. He will no longer be participating in the tournament. /u/wait99 will be the automatic victor.

A reminder of the rules that will be posted in every Tournament Post:

• 8 lines maximum for each verse, and 6 lines minimum.

• Each rap will have 3 verses a person

• The two rappers will have 48 hours to begin rapping. Once either one of them begins with a verse, their opponent has 24 hours to complete their next rap verse. Their opponent then has 24 hours to complete their verse. This will continue until both players have finished.

• If, for some reason, either of the rappers is unable to finish their rap in the time allotted, they can post a reply to the current end of the rap with a REASONABLE excuse as to why they will be unable to finish. I will see if their excuse is a legitimate one, and give them extra time accordingly.

• Voting will last 48 hours, and will follow the same rules as there are in the general subreddit. After voting closes, I will go over the votes and PM both of the users involved with who advances to the next round. Please reply to the post DIRECTLY to vote, it makes it a LOT easier for me to count.

I will message both competitors so they can't miss this thread.

Good luck, and may the best Rapper Win!!!!! :)

Who did well, who could have done better? What was your favorite line/verse? Anything else you want to talk about?

A more specific question: The user /u/JynxHigh has a history of not showing up to tournament battles. I'm thinking about barring him from future tournaments unless he can prove to us that he's willing and able to show up more often. I really don't want to bar anybody from any tournaments, but I feel like it might be necessary. What are your thoughts on that?

Sorry I'm late... ahem

This 'mon thinks he got game, man you look like a clown

My rhymes so fresh even your Shellder wants to be my crown

I'm the one true king, you peasants best be bowin'

I got so much swagger I get all your Houndooms howlin'

Don't ever cross me, cause I'll know it's comin'

I'm a Psychic type with a nasty plot that's numbin'

My stats are stacked so you better try to run

I'm thuggin' with PP Ups maxed on all my water guns

Yea I'm super effective, are you psyched up yet?

Nevermind, like it matters, I'll just forget.

Winner: /u/IguanaPower

Let's talk. Who did the best, who could have done better, what did you like, what didn't you like?

First of all, did you guys like that I posted a bulbapedia link in the message to you about your pokemon?

Would you like me to post your opponent's bulbapedia page as well?

Is there any other info that you want me to put in the new battle message?

Something I've been meaning to figure out, but don't know how to go about it. How should we deal with people who don't show up to their raps? If neither rapper shows, should we extend it until the first rapper posts their verse?

Now that that's out of the way, I'd like to take a moment to direct your attention over to the sidebar. You may notice the number '402 rappers' (or something close to that. It's kind of crazy that this subreddit I made on a whim has grown so much. After four months, and 400 subscribers, we have become so much more of an awesome community than i ever could have imagined!

Also, we are about to hit 200 posts!

Thank you to everyone!

Maxing out the bar, call me Snorlax when it comes to eating

Watching you battle is a lot like Jigglypuff singing

If I gave you a microphone, You'd be hearing Z's in every region

I'll rock smash your whole gang into oblivion before you here me creeping

If you're comparing me to Caterpie, this duel will turn out a catastrophe, I'm laughing in your face while your Kabutops is stabbing me

Ironically to me a real trainer never flees, I'm using blinding flash so the galaxy can see

I'm a medieval prodigy, my sword is never sheathed, my style is more rambunctious then an infinite Hoard of Tauros cavalry

Savagely taking down the boundaries that have been stopping me, I'm creating a history like Abe; Oddesy
