Yeah, i don't think Savant's rap was anything close to free style (lack of structure, making up lines on the go, changing topic...ect.).

But even if it was, a bit difficult to understand why that determines whole vote.
SatanLucy
Yeah, I am not voting because I dont feel like I can accurately weigh impacts here. Rhyme I already said who likely won there. As for impacts, there are too many of them for me to measure anything. This isnt like debate where debaters respond to arguments, but its more like gish gallop debate where each ignores arguments of another, plus I didnt read this manga till end, so even if I had a will to produce a vote here, I likely wouldnt have the knowledge. Its best if this rap battle is decided by someone who actually watched the series.
SatanLucy
No, I am not a voter, and these are just comments, my opinion on the series. Anyone who votes is of course expected to ignore all these comments, and anyone who votes based on comments should get his vote removed if those voting standards still apply.

The fact that he started using notebook in Japan and also in his close location first was actually quite a retarded move. Then trying to kill L only to get baited to reveal his approximate location even more. Guy literally was retarded. L wasn't really as skilled, he was just taking advantage of his opponent not knowing even basics and only learning them after it was too late.

"Most fans dont agree"

It's different when someone is a fan, I guess. I am not even a fan. It's just manga I bought on discount, thought it was great, then I read a bit and at point Yagami started killing women and innocent people, I just quit. It's sort of a psychopath manga but lacking many elements of usual psychopaths. Yagami was just insane retard. The fact that it took someone few days to find his close location is quite retarded, but that was product of him using notebook in most retarded possible way. Everything after that was basically just forced chess moves. And L was just quite skilled at baiting him, but not exactly some relatable character.

"L is the cute detective you love for being hapless"

I mean, he is a bit cute, but his personality is annoying. I have entire collection of Death Note, and I never made it past few volumes because the story is so terrible it's insane. It's difficult for me to follow a story in which I don't like any character. L is interesting at start, but as time goes on, he becomes a lot less cute very quickly.

Well, I am not sure if AI knows how words actually sound like, but anyway. I know I didnt feel a rhyme there when I was reading. Even if its actually a slant rhyme (not perfect rhyme), its too spaced out to be felt. There are like 5 or 6 sentences between finished, diminished and spinach.
SatanLucy
I mean, slant rhyme is by definition an imperfect rhyme, but AI doesnt tell me its strong in that either.

"They share some similar sounds, especially the short “i” sounds and the final consonant-like endings, but their stressed vowels and ending sounds differ.
Verdict: A loose slant rhyme at best, not a strong or perfect rhyme"

I dont debate existence of God, I already believe in God, just not for these reasons of contingency argument, because even if this argument works, a necessary being doesnt have to be God. It takes extending the argument to show that necessary being is God as opposed to "something" which caused contingent things but cant tell what.

The problem of these arguments is that they take one step where they need 3:

The step they take is showing that necessary being exists, but second step is necessary to show its God, and third step is necessary to show its their God and not Cthulhu or Azatoth.
SatanLucy
Most people already believe that something non-contingent caused contingent things, as opposed to having infinite chain of contingents which isnt the only option, more options exist like B time theory which says that contingent things dont exist and that all things always exist as opposed to being contingent and having existence at one time and non-existence at another time.

However, to jump from that to God is a big leap of faith, because necessary being can be anything, even something entirely brainless.
SatanLucy
I even asked AI just to confirm, does Manson rhyme with plankton? AI says no.

"Iron" maybe partially rhymes with "lion", but its spaced out so much that upon reading, that rhyme simply isnt felt.

And I have no idea what possibly rhymes with spinach there.
SatanLucy
Just to be clear, I am talking about rhyme at the end of lines. I dont see what rhymes with "plankton", "spinach" or "iron" there. There is internal rhyme, but not with those words.
SatanLucy
"show me please"

Well, I am not gonna copy paste all the lines which I felt were left without rhyme or where rhyme was too spaced out to count as rhyme, but here is one from each round:

"What you want some sugar? have it, I got bait and you're in with sharks suckling plankton"

"You call me Nate, call me Near, I'm N and you're queer, take the L you were born to be, bitch, you're busy downing ice cream while I nibble on this spinach."

"The fans are not loyal to you, they celebrate you 'cause you're so pathetic, you're potassium where I'm iron,"

Maybe my English accent is different than yours so when you read it it rhymes, but these lines to me seemed without rhyme when I read them. Dont get me wrong, I am not native English speaker, so I wont pretend I am 100% right here.
SatanLucy
Savant had much better rhyme. A lot of verses from Con end up with lines without any rhyme.

As for impact, well, I am a bit undecided. On one hand, L seems far more competent in actually solving crime, where Near is smart enough to survive.

This rap battle is basically about which insane dictator was less bad and more capable in warfare. I was thinking to rap as Stalin, but I was worried no one would accept because no one wants to rap as Hitler and voters probably aren't voting for Hitler either.
