This was much closer than I thought it would be. The opener from red felt like it didn't land as hard as it could have. But the syllable counts were similar and red had some silly punch lines. Which to me didn't hit as hard as some of what King had to say.

Close battle but for me the winner was harder hitting more original and smoother flowing fv........................................... 

Wow I rarely see such a close battle. Since this was even In punchlines, I decided the only way that I could find a winner would be syllable count in multi's. Which leads to the scores. I also factored in -5 syllables in KingVA's verse for his 'expense for fighting', as it was broken syllable wise to his scheme.

Verse 1 Multi's: 60 Syllables 

Verse 2 Multi's: 41 Syllables (46 Without factoring in Broken Scheme)

Which means the winner is Red Baron by 19 Syllables.

Red: Decemt verse. I felt like your punchlines were drawn out a bit, especially with a lot of the endings not hitting very hard. Multi's were great. You used Wordplay and Metaphor effectively.

KingVA: Exactly what I said to Baron, but rather 'decent multi's', as you did have some mistakes in that category.

Good battle
