[[Crash2991 vs. RAKninja]] was a [[Youtube Poop]]/Video [[tennis]] match that took place between April 11 and April 22, 2008. One of the first matches to be completed after RabbitSnore and TINS had become the new owners of the [[YouChew]] forums, tt was one of a series of matches played during the Spring and Summer of 2008 that saw the consolidation of the first generation of [[tennis staff]] as players, friends and community presences. These matches include theHappyFungus vs. RabbitSnore, [[theHappyFungus vs. RAKninja]], theHappyFungus vs. Nuthead, [[Crash2991 vs. NS2]], Crash2991 vs. strong414bad, RabbitSnore vs. Nuthead, [[theHappyFungus vs. NS2]], and Nuthead vs. NS2. The match is noted for the above average choices in sources used for the time, with {{RabbitSnore}} remarking that both players had "excellent taste in material"<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/2388-crash2991-vs-rakninja/1#post-175198</ref>. Among the sources used include the anime ''Sgt. Frog'', ''Outlaw Star'', ''Puni Puni Poemy'', ''Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers 2010'', ''Dragon Ball'' and ''Golden Boy'', and the miscellaneous material ''Melty Blood''(PC, 2002), ''Ren and Stimpy'', ''RoboCop''(1987), ''Black Samurai''(1977), ''The Transformers''(G1, specifically the Season 3 episode "Madman's Paradise"(1986)), ''Ultraman'', and a sequence of the Swedish Chef from ''The Muppet Show'' "raving"<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/2388-crash2991-vs-rakninja/1#post-175208 "I think Rak and I showed that the Swedish Chef can rave quite hard." -Crash2991, April 20, 2008</ref> to a different song in all 6 rounds, including three tracks from ''Lemmings''(Amiga, 1991).<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw-sN19Gul8 Video Description</ref> Some of this material was home ripped from collections owned in particular by RAK himself. | |||
It was the sixth match played by Crash2991<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1#post-934751</ref><ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/14 While Crash's roster lists the first three matches in chronological order, the inclusion of RabbitSnore in the middle (his 13th match played) can potentially throw off uneducated viewers of his old roster. This page of the old Tennis: Completed section shows the matches he played with Luioigi, NS2 and RAK in order; his fourth, fifth and sixth matches played.</ref> and the third match played by RAKninja<ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/16-poop-tennis/30906-poop-tennis-roster-thread/1#post-934765</ref><ref>https://ftlfw.net/archives/websites/youchew.net/archive/forum/19-tennis-completed/14 RAKninja's tennis roster does not have many of the earliest matches organized by date; this page of the old Tennis: Completed section accounts for the fact that after his first match with mmichelson, RAK played theHappyFungus and Crash in that order.</ref>. In RAK's previous match with theHappyFungus, a clip of Kintaro from ''Golden Boy'' exclaiming "THOUSAND DOLLARS!" became one of the match's most identifiable features, and was one such moment Crash2991 in particular was fond of.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFFqo5KpTFQ&lc=Ugx1nqQqQZSkwoAV1694AaABAg</ref> As a result, this is reintroduced into this match and also becomes one its own standout moments, subsequently becoming an in-joke between the two and creating a strong association with them. "THOUSAND DOLLARS!" would see occasional reference in future tennis matches, being reintroduced by the pair in [[JazzDanceForChildren + TangerineImpz vs. RAKninja + Crash2991]](2009) in the [[Tennis Season]], and subsequently alluded to in [[ThePlasticCanteen vs. NS2]](2010) and {{theFXexpert}} vs. {{dani_phantump}}(2012) in the [[Tennis Cup 4]]. | |||
Crash2991 privated all of his videos in 2011; his full body of work was saved and uploaded to archive.org in December 2019, allowing for his matches to be seen in full again. RAKninja's rounds continue to survive but were privated for a short period in the early 2010s. The match was first compiled into a single video on what later became the [[YouWouldBeWelcome]] account (at the time called "maniafax") in December 2019. | |||
