I am so so so glad to have the honor of being apart of this insanely ambitious battle!!! Without question my new favorite performance in any of my battles, and I'm glad to have had such heavy involvement in everything from production to casting to writing. Shout to the editors, actors, artists, and everyone who helped to bring this battle to life. Mario and Link finally have a battle that represents both their franchises faithfully.
Probably the Most fun I’ve had Voice Acting for a Project! Who knew screaming “Yahoo” and “Come back here!” 1500 times would look like this in post! Your editors are insane 👏
@@DaShyGuy54Basically, Mario referenced Death Battle. Where Link fought Cloud twice. Though he won the first time, the episode is kinda wrong by its own logic. And he lost the rematch where he died by getting sliced clean in half by Cloud.
This Rap Battle GENUINELY feels like 2 titans clashing, this is not just a matchup, this a legacy fight, this is the 2 most influenceal gaming Characters to ever exist and this Rap Battle COMPLETELY captures that feeling It doesn't have just 2 verses like most battles do, it first has 2 LONG-ASS verses, then changes the pace to a rapid Back and Forth, then switches back to finish it all with another verse, this just SCREAMS "MACRO" "MAXI" "XL", it's big, it just feels like it's WAY MORE than a simple Rap Battle, this feels legendary in a way All accompanied by an EXTREMELY "Hollow Knight-esque" beat that just elevates this to something that FEELS different and superior because IT IS Sure the Writing is incredible, with the crazy wordplay and references to so many Zelda titles and even factors outside of the Franchises, from the Game Awards and that ending which referenced Death Battle, the flow is simply catchy, not much else to say about it, it is good, it feels like rap, it is rap, the visuals are stunning, with the constantly spinning camera and the backgrounds being so dynamic, the cameos were spectacular, this is THE FIRST battle featuring Mario where cappy is an active protagonist and not just thrown in as a reference, and also Navi being annoying as fuck by interrupting Mario's first verse just before it ended was such a nice touch, the voice acting was ON POINT, really managed to catch the feeling Link gives even if he's a mute protagonist, and the beat, as said already, just feels "legendary" if you can say so, BUT It all just pales in comparison to what all these positive traits merge to form, the ENERGY of this battle This is a whole ass 30+ year long rivalry we're talking about, and just this being a 4 minutes long battle really sells that point, but ALL of the Positive Traits I talked about above really make you understand how IMPORTANT of a MatchUp this is This is MOTHERFUCKING "Mario VS Link" and I love it Keep up this godly work because this shit is fucking 10/10 ❤
Completely serious here, I think this is one of if not THE best battle you've made so far. Phenomenal visuals/art, SUPER fun writing, incredible mixing, AND THAT VOICE CAST?? CARRICK AS LINK IS PERFECT, MCGUINNSBOOK IS LIKE THE BEST MARIO THE COMMUNITY'S EVER SEEN, and hehe the cameos are wonderful!!!! An all-time great for years to come
*New Favorite Rap Battle of 2023 Unlocked!* All jokes aside, HOLY SHIT. Both Mario’s and Link’s Lines Hit Hard. But I think Mario’s Last line Sold it for me, Hats off to everyone involved in this!
Bro I just realized during the part where Mario and Link were going through their different iterations (1:02-1:13), when Mario said, “the titles missing ‘Link’, Link literally disappeared in the video, leaving only Mario. This battle fucking rules
@@ratedmformario And what makes it funnier is that both Mario and Cloud are the only Death Battle characters who defeated the opponents that previously killed them (Sonic and Link respectively).
Dude, i casually got into this video. I stopped at like half of the video and thought this video was like ages ago with at leat 8 million views... I'm still shocked by the fact that i was sooo wrong. Btw that a freakin banger
Oh my god this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nintendo's two biggest giants were not let down here! Nearly EVERY diss hit hard, the art is stunning (including the pixel art!), the voice cast is outstanding! RaccoonBroVA and McGuinnsBook and amazing impressions! Can't forget Eddie and garbageGothic popping in for great cameos (easily the best Navi's ever been)! This easily your best battle and one of my favorite battles period (a common theme for this Rap Battle Day) outstanding work!
Honestly, this is one of the most high quality Rap Battles I’ve ever seen, all of the references, the voice acting and impressions being spot on, this battle is just overall amazing.
Rayyan, this is your best work, Scott the Woz Vs. Nitro Rad being second!!! Great Rap Battle Rayyan!!!! Also it’s kinda funny that Carrick was in both of these battles (and imo he played the losing party in both LOL)
The Death Battle reference at the end made me so happy, not to mention the fact that this is genuinely one of the best Rap Battles I've heard, you guys did fantastic on this
FUCKING AMAZING GRAAAAAAAAH, HAD THE HUGEST SMILE ON MY FACE WATCHING THIS, ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!! GOD I WISH I HAD MORE WORDS TO DESCRIBE EVERYHING I FEEL ABT THIS BATTLE ITS SO GOOD RAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!
HOT DAMN!! This is so amazing!! The writing being faithful to their games with a cool back and forth. The casting is outstanding everyone did perfect in their roles! And the visuals are such eye candy. 10/10 in the running for best battle for 2023 imo. Also love the Link vs Cloud reference at the end.
1:02 THE WORD PLAY! (Expecting it: you crumbled like that bridge that crumbled in zelda A missing link, a chain piece being together is a “Link” ironic that your crosbow training is where your missing link . The titles missing Link all Zelda games they dont have Links name in them other then 5 games with his name. When im done with you nobody will be Missing Link (his name) )
This battle is just insane, might be the best Carrick performance and the best Mario performance in any battle. This is also definitely your best battle to date, insane performances, mind-blowing editing, impressive art, really good beat by Dustin. This is definitely one of the best battles of the year so far.
This battle was excellent! I'm a casual fan of both characters so this was excellent to see. That last line could also be interpreted in several ways as well: 1. Calling Link "Clouded to agreeing to another match" obviously references Death Battle's Link vs Cloud 2, but also... 2. ... It could also be interpreted as Mario dissing Link for losing, since Mario also got a rematch and won against Sonic. Regardless if that was intentional or not, this battle was phenomenal on all fronts! Great job.
it could be interpreted another way too! This isn't the first time I've attempted this matchup, I've actually made two seperate versions of this battle before this one so you could see the line meaning that no matter how many times they battle each other again, Link's judgement is always 'Clouded' aka he has poor judgement cause it's a matchup that he will inevitably lose
Yeah, this rap battle was... cool, actually! I really liked the beat and the verses themselves. RaccoonBro and McGuinns did great as their respective characters, and it was nice to see Navi and Cappy help out during the second verses for both. As for who I thought won, both did extremely well here, but as a Death Battle fan, I gotta give it to Mario for ending the battle with a reference to the end of Link vs Cloud 2. I didn't expect it, but it was a nice surprise to be sure. But like I said, both did very well here and, in the words of Wiz, this _is_ an extremely close match.
"Well, finding items is the only way you'd get to touch a chest." 2:33 "Your judgement's always Clouded when agreeing to another match." 3:15 Those 2 Mario disses hit so hard, Link was cooked like a Cuckoo thrown into Lava(You can do that in the newer games). Even, the fact that Mario and Cappy called Link and his fairy a Peter-Pan ripoff was very clean. And, my guess of who I thought would win was correct, although, I thought Link would just be making the sounds he does in the game since he has never canonically spoken.
HOLY JEEZ MAN! This battle was incredible, both Link and Mario's roasts made me get hyped up! Also, the flows were top notch and insane, both got back to back roasts to attack each other and it worked out perfectly! VA's and animators nailed it! Already letting my like in this video, great job on the track dude! 🔥🔥
not going to lie this was a very close one, i genuinely can't decide who won; Mario's wordplay in the first verse and Link's truth-spitting bombs in the last one really tore down each other it could go either way
Link was great, but the whole Yoshi thing is a lie right lol. They both still did amazing, but I think Link lost because that and the "Toads are bricks" diss were downright lies, and therefore those are weak disses lol. But they were both great anyways.
I like Mario better but Link won with his last line. "He fostered and protected you all while he risk his life and how do you repay him? F***KING DROPPED HIM OFF A CLIFF TO DIE!!!!" Link won hands down
This is an amazing battle, one of the best from SIR, likely the best. The animation is unique, the fight’s back and forth, and it manages to use these worn-out characters and still give creative disses. I didn’t expect a Link vs Cloud 2 Death Battle reference, but it was pulled off really well. If I had to pick a winner, Link, but just by the smallest hair. His Yoshi rant was amazing, and it had a lot of emotion behind it. Can’t wait for more of this level of battle.
Even tho i already complimented the HELL out of this battle before, i feel like i still should leave a comment to help, so WHATEVER. I'll go straight to the point: this is just FREAKING majestic, from the start to the end. Just the little detail of showing both characters first designs to the newest ones is just a freaking genius idea, cuz it also matches with how their aggressiveness levels up, during the battle. I haven't been this hyped while watching a battle ever since Guy Fawkes vs Robin Hood, and trust me: that def SAYS something here. Aside of that, great visuals, RAW perfomances from both sides and fantastic writing. This is def SIR rap battles year, and i just can't wait for what's coming in the future. Neat job guys, i'm awestruck by this amazing project 👏👏👏🌟🔥 ( Even with that stupid f'in horse)
This is one of the best things to exist on this planet, period. The matchup is one so simple yet the final product is just jam-packed with amazement of all kinds. This battle isn’t a standard one with just two rounds of each side dissing each other; instead, the battle begins with full-length sixteen-line long verses for each, then a round where each side teams up with their respective companion (which I didn’t expect; that was a great surprise that made the battle even better), then a section where each the two sides go back and forth quickly, and finally, standard verses from each side as finishers. But that’s not all I have to say. The amount of references from both characters’ franchises and variety of disses from each is also worth pointing out. The voice acting cast is also something I want to focus on. Two of my favorite FRB community VAs (RaccoonBroVA and garbageGothic) within this project let alone teaming up is something worth pointing out (I also adore it when the latter voices cute/bright/silly characters whenever that occurs). But I must not also forget about McGuinnsBook (who nailed Super Mario) and Eddiefrb’s cameo; they also did amazing. All in all, this is probably the best battle you’ve ever made, even rivaling the masterpiece that is Lofi Girl vs. Kousei Arima (which is still one of the best rap battles I’ve listened to). Rayyan, you’ve grown and learned a lot as a content creator of a rap battle channel, and I might even subscribe to you with such masterpieces from and underrated channel. Lastly, and I know this topic is getting repetitive by this point but I just really want to know some things about it for the time being, what’s the status on the Homura battle? In other words, has your decision on remaking it against someone who has more material been made yet or not? And if it has and you’ll remake it, will her alternate form still be used? (I ask this because you mentioned that said idea would be/was used in the Homura rap battle) Edit: Forgot to mention that the actual video and its edits look clean, fresh, and aesthetically pleasing and my winner for this battle. This was SUPER close, and that’s part of the reason why I love it (I often like it when rap battles are close; they are fair in that regard), but I think I’ll go ahead and give Mario the win, though by a bare amount, as I really enjoy the heck out of Link’s performance as well.
I initially wanted to just scrap the Homura battle and make another one but I've decided that I wanna finish it out of courtesy for the people involved in the audio's production. I can't exactly say when I'll be able to release it for sure but I'm gonna try and aim for September 2023. Thank you so much for your comments on this battle btw!!
@@SIRRapBattles you’re welcome, and hey, I got to know more about your situation. Whenever rap battles are released can change if priorities interfere, but like I’ve said before, it’s best to focus on said priorities if they’re truly important. Anyhow, I hope for the before of future you as masterpieces like this battle (Mario vs. Link) drop out quality over quantity being enacted. Have a good time now.
That was pretty incredible overall, the visuals were great, the beat was nice, the bars were clever, overall I liked it. In regard to who won, both went hard but I think Mario won overall. Edit: After several more listens, gotta actually give it to Link, though Mario definitely had good lines.
I am so so so glad to have the honor of being apart of this insanely ambitious battle!!! Without question my new favorite performance in any of my battles, and I'm glad to have had such heavy involvement in everything from production to casting to writing. Shout to the editors, actors, artists, and everyone who helped to bring this battle to life. Mario and Link finally have a battle that represents both their franchises faithfully.
ME WHEN VOICE ACTORS GET TO REALLY SHOW THEIR SKILL IN RAP BATTLES
You went absolutely crazy on this, I gotta respect for that
link
Am I the only one to think that link getting cut by cloud at the end of Mario verse is a reference to death battle link’s death
Personally I think link won because of that yoshi line
Probably the Most fun I’ve had Voice Acting for a Project! Who knew screaming “Yahoo” and “Come back here!” 1500 times would look like this in post! Your editors are insane 👏
Thank you so much for being a part of this project, you did incredible!
Don’t forget taking the dub!!!
omg the voice actor for the tf2 voices
this goes so unbelievably hard, i'm legitimately blown away
Why do so many other rap batlle youtubers have such less likes
Did not expect a death battle reference to be the closing line but I loved it. The whole battle in fact, great all round.
tbf Carrick is a big fan of Death battle and was a additional writer
@@FamilyGuySoundwave yeah I’ve seen his stuff, which means his link vs cloud 2 reaction is now him watching himself die
I can't be the only one who got the reference in Mario's last line, This battle was amazing!
Right here bro. Mario swept with the DB line
same here
I’m stupid what’s the reference 😅
@@DaShyGuy54Basically, Mario referenced Death Battle. Where Link fought Cloud twice. Though he won the first time, the episode is kinda wrong by its own logic. And he lost the rematch where he died by getting sliced clean in half by Cloud.
@@nonviolentexe285 lol I’m dead
Mario must've had a Chef's Hat and a Fire Flower cause he brought the heat and proceeded to cook with it
This Rap Battle GENUINELY feels like 2 titans clashing, this is not just a matchup, this a legacy fight, this is the 2 most influenceal gaming Characters to ever exist and this Rap Battle COMPLETELY captures that feeling
It doesn't have just 2 verses like most battles do, it first has 2 LONG-ASS verses, then changes the pace to a rapid Back and Forth, then switches back to finish it all with another verse, this just SCREAMS "MACRO" "MAXI" "XL", it's big, it just feels like it's WAY MORE than a simple Rap Battle, this feels legendary in a way
All accompanied by an EXTREMELY "Hollow Knight-esque" beat that just elevates this to something that FEELS different and superior because IT IS
Sure the Writing is incredible, with the crazy wordplay and references to so many Zelda titles and even factors outside of the Franchises, from the Game Awards and that ending which referenced Death Battle, the flow is simply catchy, not much else to say about it, it is good, it feels like rap, it is rap, the visuals are stunning, with the constantly spinning camera and the backgrounds being so dynamic, the cameos were spectacular, this is THE FIRST battle featuring Mario where cappy is an active protagonist and not just thrown in as a reference, and also Navi being annoying as fuck by interrupting Mario's first verse just before it ended was such a nice touch, the voice acting was ON POINT, really managed to catch the feeling Link gives even if he's a mute protagonist, and the beat, as said already, just feels "legendary" if you can say so,
BUT
It all just pales in comparison to what all these positive traits merge to form, the ENERGY of this battle
This is a whole ass 30+ year long rivalry we're talking about, and just this being a 4 minutes long battle really sells that point, but ALL of the Positive Traits I talked about above really make you understand how IMPORTANT of a MatchUp this is
This is MOTHERFUCKING "Mario VS Link" and I love it
Keep up this godly work because this shit is fucking 10/10 ❤
these kinds of comments are exactly why i make rap battles, tysmmm
Bro said much thrice
“Your visions always clouded when agreeing to another match”
I was not expecting Mario to use Death Battle as a roast but that’s what I got, holy.
It was the same thing for Mario and Sonic But Mario won the rematch
Completely serious here, I think this is one of if not THE best battle you've made so far. Phenomenal visuals/art, SUPER fun writing, incredible mixing, AND THAT VOICE CAST?? CARRICK AS LINK IS PERFECT, MCGUINNSBOOK IS LIKE THE BEST MARIO THE COMMUNITY'S EVER SEEN, and hehe the cameos are wonderful!!!! An all-time great for years to come
That Na’vi was kind of eh
Canon Navi voice for real!
@@RaccoonBroVA Awww heheh thank you!
@@PPRBguy wdym it was great
@@Hammznotdagoat oh don’t worry, I agree. I’m just joking around since garbageGothic voiced Navi.
1:03 Mario’s missing link bar hung Link out to dry from the jump, the second and third verses were just victory laps
I thought that was a Death Battle reference at the end! This battle was Absolute gold, loved the back and fourth verses!
That's one of the best non-ERB Rap Battles I've seen
Such clever rhyming, flow, references and wordplay.
nevermind that, I haven't heard a single ERB that holds up to this
*New Favorite Rap Battle of 2023 Unlocked!*
All jokes aside, HOLY SHIT. Both Mario’s and Link’s Lines Hit Hard. But I think Mario’s Last line Sold it for me, Hats off to everyone involved in this!
Loved this so so much, incredible job Rayyan and everybody who made this come to life!!!
"Well, finding items is the only way you'd get to touch a chest!" JESUS CHRIST that was brutal. I think Mario won. This was an amazing project.
Mario for the win
Mario can’t really talk about girls tho😶
Mario takes the W
@@superllama8976mario got many bitches
And that when link lose his cool
Bro I just realized during the part where Mario and Link were going through their different iterations (1:02-1:13), when Mario said, “the titles missing ‘Link’, Link literally disappeared in the video, leaving only Mario. This battle fucking rules
The entire thing feels like a movie. Fantastic job to everybody involved.
Did not expect a Death Battle reference!
Yo, that DEATH BATTLE reference was unexpected and too cool. This is my favourite Rap Battle of 2023, it's incredible!
2:15 ohh this back and forth goes hard, Mario cooked him I'm afraid. Link sold with the 2 Luigi jokes
THE DEATH BATTLE REFERENCE
MARIO TORE HIM IN HALF
He said he didn't need a rusty sword to do it, and he proved it.
@@kingvideogamesTrue dat
What was the reference i didn't get it
@@MatPgame67 Link vs Cloud is an old death battle
they recently did a rematch and Cloud killed Link by splitting him in half
@@ratedmformario And what makes it funnier is that both Mario and Cloud are the only Death Battle characters who defeated the opponents that previously killed them (Sonic and Link respectively).
Jesus Christ this went harder than any other song I heard Mario won
This battle is INASANE!
This is definitely your best battle by far, amazing work to everyone who worked on it! 👏🏼
I like how pissed Link sounds about the treatment of Yoshi
Dude, i casually got into this video. I stopped at like half of the video and thought this video was like ages ago with at leat 8 million views... I'm still shocked by the fact that i was sooo wrong. Btw that a freakin banger

Why are the erb fan channels dropping so many bangers?

It's just art...
I love it
I just think it was bars
Honestly, this is one of the most high quality Rap Battles I’ve ever seen, all of the references, the voice acting and impressions being spot on, this battle is just overall amazing.
This was brilliant, and that Death Battle reference at the end caught me of guard lol
The rap battle community somehow keep getting more creative and innovative in how they’re going to create a rap battle. 10/10.
"A century of slumber I was put sound, asleep and with your RPGs abandone." "What a fitting end for alpha dream."
Didn't age well
Oh it aged perfectly in my favor, I think the alphadream part still rings true however
@@SIRRapBattles Well that's is true.
Then again the diss about the movie didn’t age well either.
WE MAKING IT OUT THE LOST WOODS WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
This battle was amazing. Loved the sprite animation, the lyrics, and the beat. Good job. 🔥🔥🔥
You worked in a death battle reference?!?! That’s freaking impressive dude
Link: Calls out Mario for ditching Yoshi.
Mario: Brings up the time Link got his ass kicked by Cloud Strife in a Death Battle.
Mario won but that Pratt Fall line was hard ngl
Rayyan, this is your best work, Scott the Woz Vs. Nitro Rad being second!!! Great Rap Battle Rayyan!!!!
Also it’s kinda funny that Carrick was in both of these battles (and imo he played the losing party in both LOL)
This is frikkin awesome holy crap!
Gonna go with Link,he just seemed to much more passionate in his lines,which made him sound better imo.
man I still remember the first version of the audio, I can’t believe how far you’ve come since then and I’m so proud of you man
The Death Battle reference at the end made me so happy, not to mention the fact that this is genuinely one of the best Rap Battles I've heard, you guys did fantastic on this
Mario won, Great Rap Battle btw!! The instrumental is also good too!!!
It's been so long since a rap battle made me AUDIBLY scream at one of its bars, this battle was dope as fuck and I'm addicted to every part of it

Bro this is actually tough as hell. It starts strong and just continues to ramp up, the schemes, diss and visuals are wild. Good job!
1:02 THE WORD PLAY! (Expecting it: you crumbled like that bridge that crumbled in zelda A missing link, a chain piece being together is a “Link” ironic that your crosbow training is where your missing link .

That Death Battle reference at the end works on so many levels holy hell.
too many SSStier roasts to choose a fav. also, mario could bring up up that hes always bettee than link in smash
So happy to have do art for this battle
The result is so good!!
That death battle throw back was gold
This was an amazing battle. In my opinion Link won because of the Yoshi bar.
The yoshi bar was kinda shit

Tearing up genuinely
This battle was excellent! I'm a casual fan of both characters so this was excellent to see. That last line could also be interpreted in several ways as well:
1. Calling Link "Clouded to agreeing to another match" obviously references Death Battle's Link vs Cloud 2, but also...
2. ... It could also be interpreted as Mario dissing Link for losing, since Mario also got a rematch and won against Sonic.
Regardless if that was intentional or not, this battle was phenomenal on all fronts! Great job.

Those 2 Mario disses hit so hard, Link was cooked like a Cuckoo thrown into Lava(You can do that in the newer games). Even, the fact that Mario and Cappy called Link and his fairy a Peter-Pan ripoff was very clean. And, my guess of who I thought would win was correct, although, I thought Link would just be making the sounds he does in the game since he has never canonically spoken.
1:56 Cappy is unironically the best part of the battle
The hype I felt while watching this was unreal , as a fan of both franchises, I can say the homework is masterfully done here, legit amazing
Ok the death battle reference caught me off guard, Mario won just by that
HOLY JEEZ MAN!
This battle was incredible, both Link and Mario's roasts made me get hyped up! Also, the flows were top notch and insane, both got back to back roasts to attack each other and it worked out perfectly!

dude mario took that with the chest line, amazing battle btw
Such a simplistic idea, yet executed so well. I'm blown away.
this battle was so, so so good holy shit. mcguinns was perfect as mario
I love the reference to the four swords legend of zelda game. Im glad nobody forgot about it

GEEZ RAYYAN, YOU KEEP OUT DOING YOURSELF WITH EVERY MATCHUP!!! 😊😊😊
“Finding items is the only way you’d get to touch a chest”

BRO THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY NUTS WHAT, I'm blown away mama miiiiia
This rap battle is a complete level up from all of your previous battles. A real accomplishment. Keep it up.
Thats so cool using different versions like that
Holy moly this was riddled with brutal bars nonstop. Amazing visuals and a banger track to suit this masterpiece.
0:10 “It’s the hero time, huh? THANKS FOR THE TIP-”
Links thinks he’s the best when all the games he’s in isn’t about him.

This is one of the best things to exist on this planet, period. The matchup is one so simple yet the final product is just jam-packed with amazement of all kinds. This battle isn’t a standard one with just two rounds of each side dissing each other; instead, the battle begins with full-length sixteen-line long verses for each, then a round where each side teams up with their respective companion (which I didn’t expect; that was a great surprise that made the battle even better), then a section where each the two sides go back and forth quickly, and finally, standard verses from each side as finishers.
But that’s not all I have to say. The amount of references from both characters’ franchises and variety of disses from each is also worth pointing out.
The voice acting cast is also something I want to focus on. Two of my favorite FRB community VAs (RaccoonBroVA and garbageGothic) within this project let alone teaming up is something worth pointing out (I also adore it when the latter voices cute/bright/silly characters whenever that occurs). But I must not also forget about McGuinnsBook (who nailed Super Mario) and Eddiefrb’s cameo; they also did amazing.
All in all, this is probably the best battle you’ve ever made, even rivaling the masterpiece that is Lofi Girl vs. Kousei Arima (which is still one of the best rap battles I’ve listened to). Rayyan, you’ve grown and learned a lot as a content creator of a rap battle channel, and I might even subscribe to you with such masterpieces from and underrated channel.
Lastly, and I know this topic is getting repetitive by this point but I just really want to know some things about it for the time being, what’s the status on the Homura battle? In other words, has your decision on remaking it against someone who has more material been made yet or not? And if it has and you’ll remake it, will her alternate form still be used? (I ask this because you mentioned that said idea would be/was used in the Homura rap battle)
Edit: Forgot to mention that the actual video and its edits look clean, fresh, and aesthetically pleasing and my winner for this battle. This was SUPER close, and that’s part of the reason why I love it (I often like it when rap battles are close; they are fair in that regard), but I think I’ll go ahead and give Mario the win, though by a bare amount, as I really enjoy the heck out of Link’s performance as well.
I initially wanted to just scrap the Homura battle and make another one but I've decided that I wanna finish it out of courtesy for the people involved in the audio's production. I can't exactly say when I'll be able to release it for sure but I'm gonna try and aim for September 2023. Thank you so much for your comments on this battle btw!!
@@SIRRapBattles you’re welcome, and hey, I got to know more about your situation. Whenever rap battles are released can change if priorities interfere, but like I’ve said before, it’s best to focus on said priorities if they’re truly important. Anyhow, I hope for the before of future you as masterpieces like this battle (Mario vs. Link) drop out quality over quantity being enacted. Have a good time now.
I like how he has the lore inside the bars they rap, nicely done 👏
That was pretty incredible overall, the visuals were great, the beat was nice, the bars were clever, overall I liked it.
In regard to who won, both went hard but I think Mario won overall.
Edit:
After several more listens, gotta actually give it to Link, though Mario definitely had good lines.
heh, overall
@@garbageGothic no one likes you

Mario won, but Link definitely wasn’t going down with a big fight.
