Ok so much to say I'm so proud to see this FINALLY out It's been so much time that was in production so aaaaaaa So okay first of all, everyone did an awesome job, gg everyone! It's like the first time my art are use in a video (expect french) if im right ? And happy to see them in 🥲🙏 Ash was pleasure to draw, Rex i hate you- But i am very happy with the result !! Also my first edited beat to be release, i love so much the vibe it had Thank you for have letting me to be a part of the project !
As a guy who’s loved Pokémon since practically birth and recently started getting into Xenoblade Chronicles, this was absolutely incredible. Everything, editing, vocals, disses, was all fantastic. Everyone involved should be proud of themselves. Great job.
This was awesome. I love how the beat switched up from a hyped up beat for ash to a more serious beat to rex. The voice for ash is pretty spot on. I haven't played any of the Xenoblade games, so I don't know how good the voice of rex is, but overall this was a great battle.
Tough call but this is one of your cleanest projects yet. The video is so pretty, Ash's first verse has some of my favourite editing in a while. Voice acting is super slick as well, community veteran alongside a fresh and talented name is a really satisfying combo. The beat editing to make it sound like the Pokemon battle theme is just really effective at sounding hype. And of course you never cease to amaze me with your great writing that doubles down as a huge representation of your knowledge and love on the characters. Stellar job man!
This was such a amazing battle! The editing was great mixing handrawn sprites and footage from the games and shows. Can't say anything about the writing since I'm not too famillar with Xenoblade. And the VAs killed it especally Alister as Rex! This is probably my 2nd favortie battle from you! (Even if I still get 2nd hand embarassment from my very crappy Casting call club audition for Rex)
This was phenomenal for sure. I’m not too knowledgeable on Xenoblade Chronicles, so it helped that there was information for Rex as well as Ash in the description. I decided to read that before watching this video, and even some of the disses to Rex based on things I didn’t previously know about still hit. I honestly expected you to get Peachumari or JesseBoxVO for an Ash Ketchum VA, but surprisingly, garbageGothic’s voice impression is quite fascinating (also, I hope she isn’t being overworked with this now being the third (I believe) rap battle of yours she’s been part of; as talented as she is, she, like everyone, deserves a needed break every one in a while). I also appreciated the writing; the various multisyllabic rhymes and uses of wordplay as disses definitely hit for me (such examples can be seen in Ash’s opening lines, his fifth to eighth lines of his first verse, Rex’s ninth and tenth lines of his first verse, the “Lose that Pokémon” line, the second-round disses (Mecha Evolution being a pun on Mega Evolution and followed by Dragon Ball Z-Move, a pun on Z-Moves), the ending line for each character, the internal rhymes of “Stop the cap, Ash”-“Such a cash grab”, and the “[S]witch dubs” homophonous rhyme scheme). A winner would be difficult to pick for this rap battle, and I’d consider this to overall be a tie. If I had to pick a winner, however, I probably would go with Ash Ketchum, but barely, as Rex’s performance was also fantastic! Ash slightly had better disses overall, while Rex had the better use of wordplay (and he won the second for me, so there’s that, too). Close rap battles like these are one I will certainly enjoy, as it shows that there is no intentional winner with them, something sane FRB creators should learn not to do. Good job and shoutout to everyone involved in this project. Soon, my chance for me and my friend’s idea will become reality (while this channel is the main priority, it might not every feature our WIP), but in the meantime, there are raps like these to forever entertain me (and plus there is no set release date for “our” project; it’ll be constantly updated with new, relevant information). Bye now.
*note: I forgot to specify that by “third (I believe) rap battle of yours she’s been part of”, I meant “third CONSECUTIVE (I believe) rap battle of yours she’s been part of”; I’m aware that Emily/garbageGothic has her voice within at least five SIR Rap Battles that have an official video up on RUclips. *note 2: If it wasn’t obvious enough, by “(and he won the second to me)” referees to me thinking Rex won the battle’s second round. *note 3: by “(while this channel is the main priority, it might not every feature our WIP)”, I meant “even”, not “every”; I will also say that you should pretend the word “possibly” is in between “might” and “not”.
An absolutely great job here! Flow and their respective bars were great, although I think Rex barely took the W, that “switching dubs” verse was what sealed it for me.
This is such a close one, I like both Pokemon and Xenoblade, both have great bars and disses but I think Rex with the switched dubs and the losing father line may have won it for me. 😁 Wonderful job.
Seeing as this is the second Pokemon-related fight after the last one, I have this idea: Futaba (Persona 5) vs. Penny (Pokemon Scarlet and Violet), a rap between introverted hackers
I have a question: Would Peachumari have been better or worse as an Ash voice actress? Also, which version of Ash’s voice did garbageGothic go with: the Veronica Taylor version or the Sarah Notochenny version?
@@angelicwarrior118 Veronica Taylor! I did that version for a 6 Voices challenge on my channel and that's kinda what inspired this casting choice, so I stuck with it!
im really glad you noticed that, i wanted to portray a visual journey for these two characters by having ash go through all of his designs from indigo league to journeys!
Ok. Imma give an honest review: I really like this battle, but there are a few aspects I think should improved upon: First is that I really do feel like many of the disses are very unoriginal and repetitive. It felt like that with the last one, too. Second is that I feel like it’s very jarring to see Rex switch from animated to just a 2d image moving from side to side. I feel like that could be more lively and less cardboard-cutouty. And finally, I feel like moments like 2:15 where a picture or such just slides by just to give context is a bit out of place and really ruins the feeling of recognizing disses when their meaning is just handed in front of you like a child. All in all, a good battle, but rewatching this makes me notice small rap battle pet peeves that I feel like are just bothering me personally. Don’t take it too serious, but I just felt like I wanted to get it off my chest.
I really appreciate honest reviews like this, I acknowledge the flaws this battle has given the fact that it was written a year and a half ago but I wanted to release it in the state that it was in to get it off my battle backlog. You make very fair points, I agree with a lot of these too and since I wrote this I’ve been trying to take measures to avoid repeating these errors in the future. Thanks again for the review, and I hope you can look forward to better content from me soon!

Thank you for have letting me to be a part of the project !
thank you so much for all your hard work on this mega!! the battle definitely wouldn't have been as awesome without you :))
Very cool
Glad to have more artists in this community!
"Those verses reeked of filth like you had Mythra cook it up". Ash was foul for that but it's so fitting as a diss
The Rex performance is reallyyyy good. Don’t give up.

AYY ITS OUT!
Great work on this dude, Mega killed it with the art and beat arrangement and that last line was actually brutal af lmao
Brock disrespect will not be tolerated.
Nice work, I love the beat especially.
"Man, I'd wish to die too if I had to keep hearing you're voice!" OH NAHH
Let's go, it's finally out! Thanks for having me on for this one!

Dude this shit fucking ROCKS, Rex SMOKED
You make a good Ash
This cooked, hot damn the editing was phenomenal
As for the winner; Imma say Rex pretty easily, but this rap battle was amazing
This was such a amazing battle! The editing was great mixing handrawn sprites and footage from the games and shows.
Can't say anything about the writing since I'm not too famillar with Xenoblade.
And the VAs killed it especally Alister as Rex! This is probably my 2nd favortie battle from you!
(Even if I still get 2nd hand embarassment from my very crappy Casting call club audition for Rex)
"At their core your female blades are literally just objects", yeah there is no recovering from that.
Though I do like the "Dragon Ball Z move" line.
Rex my baby boy in a rap battle I can’t believe it
So much fire, we’ll have to put it in an urn! (Funny ash joke)
Nice👍 (also I'm too much of a nerd not to notice the beat having the same melody as the Galarian Starter Rap/Cypher from Cam Steady)
This was phenomenal for sure. I’m not too knowledgeable on Xenoblade Chronicles, so it helped that there was information for Rex as well as Ash in the description.

@@angelicwarrior118oh damn you’re right it IS 3 consecutive gG features
Kinda epic
This was a sick rap battle to watch can’t wait for more
I’ve even reacted to this rap battle
@@charsonic1771sick
An absolutely great job here! Flow and their respective bars were great, although I think Rex barely took the W, that “switching dubs” verse was what sealed it for me.
I never thought I'd see the day when we get an actual xenoblade battle. my heart legit stopped when I saw this in my feed
“And if we’re talking bout parents, looks like you’ve got it harder;”
My brother in Christ YOU’RE AN ORPHAN-
Pyoro vs The Grinch
sick as hell!
The wordplay in these kinds of videos never cease to amaze me.
I'm speechless, this is amazing, lines voices all of it was nailed
This is such a close one, I like both Pokemon and Xenoblade, both have great bars and disses but I think Rex with the switched dubs and the losing father line may have won it for me. 😁
Wonderful job.
Rayyan, this is your best battle yet ❤
This is awesome!
To be fair rex did something ash couldn't do age
LOL
0:44 bro cooked
You, garbageGothic, Alister and everyone did awesome in this rap battle. Also, The Legend of Zelda's getting a movie.
Seeing as this is the second Pokemon-related fight after the last one, I have this idea:
Futaba (Persona 5) vs. Penny (Pokemon Scarlet and Violet), a rap between introverted hackers
dude this was so sick
Emperor Belos vs Claude Frollo next?
Ash definitely won. He literally spent no time dispensing insult after insult.
Garbagegoth might be one of my favorite rappers
The only one who could rival her is Snakebite
@@TheDJBalloonz I’d argue Littleflecks as well but Snakebite is pretty impressive
@@A-Muse-U can’t go wrong with either
!!!!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH 💚💚💚💚
@@garbageGothic oh my gosh it’s you! I’m such a fan!
This is amazing. Great work everyone!
I love how ash is voiced by a girl like he is in the original shows
Ash definitely won but it was definitely close
I have a question: Would Peachumari have been better or worse as an Ash voice actress?
Also, which version of Ash’s voice did garbageGothic go with: the Veronica Taylor version or the Sarah Notochenny version?
@@angelicwarrior118 Veronica Taylor! I did that version for a 6 Voices challenge on my channel and that's kinda what inspired this casting choice, so I stuck with it!
I gotta give it to ash he won the rap battle in his second verse. So its already over.
I feel like someone has already said this but has anyone realized that Ash changed from Ash from the older series to the Newer series?
im really glad you noticed that, i wanted to portray a visual journey for these two characters by having ash go through all of his designs from indigo league to journeys!
What do you edit with?! This is 🔥
I use adobe premiere pro, the other editors used after effects
Surprised that rex's feats from xenoblade 3 weren't brought up but even saying this might be a bit of a spoiler
This battle was written before Xenoblade 3 was released!
@@SIRRapBattles because of what I know of xenoblade 3 I have to go with gigachad rex
Can you do Lady Palutena VS Celeste
Kid icarus VS My Little Pony?
Unfortunately I’ve pivoted more to Palutena vs Rosalina as a matchup but I’m open to doing a battle with Celestia

Looks like Rex got too close to the dragon and got turned to Ash

Oh I thought it was yugioh 😢
REX RAPTOR????
Why do most rap battles always gotta be a insult contest? Can't it just be friendly competition style???
I mean... Its a battle. Not a hug.

make your own

Today's my birthday, by the way.
happy birthday!!!! hope u have a good one today :))
@@SIRRapBattles Eh I just had a boring day instead
Rex got wrecked, Ash did not waste time beating his ass 😂
Is this opinion based mostly on objectivity or bias? Please give me an objective viewpoint/breakdown if the former is right.
Looks like Ash wrecked Rex and turned him to ash ! (Wait what ?)
Awesome battle.
How do you not being up rex has three wives
spoilers, also this was written before
first also good job
Ash won
