I went through KK's record to find a list of his victories over big names. Hopefully this can help me, and others, make an informed decision. Here is what I found (for text):

Tournament history:
• Rookie of the Year 2009 2nd place
• One Bar Tournament I 2nd place

List of victories over names I recognise as probably being pretty good (W–L):
• RULE (1–2)
• RhetoriK (1–0)
• AmBitiousFlow (2–0)
• swiftkeys (1–1)
• HVK (1–0)
• GRizzEAT (2–0)
• Multiple Madness (1–0)
• Dissizit (1–0)
• GOOD GRIEF (1–0)
• EtH (1–0)
• AkRid_ArTz (1–0)
• Frankie Clipz (1–0)

Overall, I believe Krhyme Killz should not be inducted into the Hall of Fame for Text Battling. Here is why:

Krhyme clearly sparred many times with the heavyweights of his era – RULE, Mayneak, EJT, Illimit, Mani Mula, YOU WISH, reEFer, remarK, Coree Warpath – but against every one of the names I just listed he has a losing record. RULE is actually the only one of those names he ever beat at all. Tournament wise, the 2009 Rookie Championship wasn't even a tournament, the site decided RULE and KK were the best two candidates and they had one battle. EtH, RULE and Nick all ranked KK in the mid-30s in their greatest textcees of all time lists, and nobody disagreed with that; imo mid-30s isn't a justifiably high ranking for someone being inducted into the Text HOF which currently has 19 inductees.

Why Am I Not On That Victory List?
...
Oh Wait, Because I Beat Him
Krhyme A Cool Cat Though


On Another Note, RULE Wasn't A "Heavyweight" When Illimit Was One

On A Different Note Altogether,
Whatever Happened To AkRid_ArTz?

Killz was a GC in Audio. And i think had long runs in other tourneys.

I think Audio HOF is where he'd belong.

Ok so again I've gone through KK's battle record and made a summary of what he did to help people make their decision. Won't give my opinion on this cos I know nothing about audio in that era:

Tournament runs:
• Basic Audio Tournament VI: Round 1 n/s W, Round 2 vs KINGRULER W, Round 3 vs dbang W, Round 4 vs Skitt_Blazin L
• Beast Mode Championship: Round 1 vs B-L-0-C-K-A W, Round 2 vs strat W, Round 3 vs LunaticK L
• Basic Audio Tournament VII: Round 1 vs MYST W, Round 2 vs Lady Policy W, Round 3 vs KFLOW WGT W, Round 4 vs FeRnO L
• Beast Mode 2011: Round 1 vs BENSON THA GREAT L
• Beast Mode 2012: Round 1 vs BLNK W, Round 2 vs Dono W, Round 3 vs Doc T W, Round 4 vs DaMostH8ed W, Final vs YOU WISH W

Records against people whose names I recognise (W–L):
• Mr Goodness (lots and lots of battles–0)
• RULE (2–1)
• Haz (1–1)
• Phil Banks (0–2)
• Ohs (4–0)
• IAmFlow (2–0)
• People Krhyme is 1–0 against: Danger Rich, SoupErb, KAM SPEECH, Fiji Osa, Askari, Swagnificent, AkRid_ArTz, Huey Jazz (I think), Strat, Rant, UNKNOWN ARTIST, Doc T, Dono, OSKAR
• People Krhyme is 0–1 against: Jason, Ticket, Erupt, AllBoro, SWAVY, Wigsplit, Godbody, reEFer, remarK, Mayneak, LunaticK, Skitt_Blazin, Ferno, Benson

Ah because it being an invite tournament of all the best people is the opposite of the throwdowns....?

Kiwi, one thing about your list is it's written from the context of text. I don't remember anyone saying "Watch out for Ohs, IAmFlow, SoupErb, Akrid Artz or Oskar in audio". Like you'd usually list me as a win in someone's text accomplishments but you'd never dream of considering me as a big audio winm
