MycroProcessor vs. AshcrementVII was a partial Youtube Poop/Video Tennis match that took place between March 13 and March 20, 2011. While only ever lasting for two rounds, the match is notable for these rounds adding to a total of 28 minutes and 10 seconds, several times longer than a entire standard 6 round match at the time. It was the only time these two players ever had any kind of tennis exchange with each other. Sources added include Riven(PC, 1997), Crystal Maze(PC, 2003), The Great Mouse Detective(1996), and Bubblegum Crisis. [Note: source list incomplete]
The general concept of this match has roots in an idea that RabbitSnore conceived for a new variant of tennis in November 2008, following his attendance at a local jazz concert. In line with traditional jazz improvisation, Rabbit considered undertaking what he described as "something like having a video jam session, with really long videos." He went as far as to produce an unrefined set of rules for this variant:
"Jazz Jam Session Tennis
- Six rounds.
- Videos must be 7:00 to 10:00 long.
- Each volley must use at least 3:30 of the previous round.
- Each player presents five to ten source videos before the game begins. These ten to twenty (in total) videos are the material for the match.
- Before each volley (not the serve), that player may add up to two source videos to the material pool.
- The serving player makes the opening video from the material pool, the longer the better. Play proceeds as usual."
At the time, YouTube had in place a hard upload limit of 10 minutes for each video, but in July 2010 this had become updated to a limit of 15 minutes[1], before sometime later being drastically extended to the modern limit of 12 hours. It was in this window of time that this match commenced, and MycroProcessor's 14 minute, 10 second long serve became the first known video within YTP/Video Tennis to make creative use of this new upload length, becoming at the time the longest tennis round ever made. With a number of players subsequently breaking this record, Mycro would eventually break this record again in Nineroe vs. MycroProcessor(2016), with the 6 hour long "Vore. Unbirth. Dinner." Coincidentally, during the long middle segment of this round in which Mycro converses off-camera to the viewer, he briefly touches upon this match, identifying the link between it and the much more drastic long form approach of the subsequent match, and also laments that he "never made Round 3".
Round 1's title "When Did You First Learn About Tennis?" comes verbatim from a YouChew thread title of the same name in the Tennis subforum, created by PokeFire50 on December 22, 2009. A lengthy silent segment of this round additionally involves GameBop's "Sid is NOT A BATTLE AXE"(2009), their Round 1 with AjaxCubed and well identified as one of Mycro's all-time favorite YTPs, being progressively edited over via "veg replacement" and recursive "recycling" inside of GameBop's project file for "ROBOTNIK PURCHASES THE OTHER HALF"(2008), their Round 12 with InsinerateHymn and zacheatscrackers. Various edited samples from the former video continue to show up in later parts of the serve in addition. Ashcrement's response, a defining representation of his early tennis style, includes the addition of images of the Pokemon Snorlax, followed by a series of edits that shape layers of video into a rough image of a Jolteon before then morphing into a similar rough image of a Snorlax, similar to techniques recently executed by Moogle in a similar fashion.
While initially received with great notice due to the many boundaries broken in just these two rounds in addition to a radically new language of approach being experimented with in tennis, MycroProcessor vs. AshcrementVII has subsequently retreated into a more obscure yet fascinating curiosity of a "match that could have been" due to it never properly progressing past this point and subsequently being eclipsed by the achievements of similar long form improvisational matches that followed in its wake. The rounds made continue to survive in their original uploads.
