hmmm this was a wierd battle... not too many punches were thrown by either guy... both ended a lot better than they started... but it looks like to topical cats in a text styled non-topical battle... didn't seem to play to either of their strengths... -Fokuss- had the better verse with multis, inter-connecting rhymes and a lil wordplay... but the punches were all lack luster... Element's last line was his best line and one of the best in teh battle... Fokuss's last line was creative but not a punch... (it was a stand out line... but it just wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings)

Opener: Fokuss (creative, Elemental refferance)
Closer: Elemental (only line of note in his verse)
Punches: Niether (Fokuss threw more but none really landed, & Elemental's last line wasn't enough to really take this catagory either)
Personals: Neither ... (personals are direct punches... so the same thing I said for punches applies here)
Creativity: Fokuss
Complexity: Fokuss
Multies: Fokuss

Vote: Fokuss
