[[Nineroe vs. valkiriforce]] was a Youtube Poop/Video [[tennis]] match that took place between October 22 and November 25, 2014. Both players had quietly lurked in the background of the community as early as 2007, and both had curiously decided to properly enter into the community and begin making videos only during this year. With this being more or less a modern-day "Robotnik" tennis match, the sources used run the gamut across multiple selections, with ''The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog'' still acting as a base for them to orient around. These selections include the ''Super Mario World'' animated series, the ''Mega Man'' animated series, the ''Street Fighter'' animated series, ''Speed Racer'', ''Sherlock Hound'', ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'', ''The O'Reilly Factor'', Bill O'Reilly's infamous "Do it Live!" moment on ''Inside Edition'', ''Goof Troop'', ''A Goofy Movie''(1995), ''An Extremely Goofy Movie''(2000), the infomercial for "Hulk Hogan's Ultimate Grill", one of the Billy Mays infomercials, "OH MY GOD DK WATCH OUT!" by Xen0phol, the E3 2010 Games Conference in which Reggie Fils-Aime declares "My body is ready", ''Independence Day''(1997), ''Batman and Robin''(1997), ''Mouse Hunt''(1997), ''Super Mario Bros.''(1993), ''Raiders of the Lost Ark''(1981), ''Toy Story''(1995), ''Back To The Future Part III''(1990), ''Street Fighter''(1994), ''Hook''(1991), ''Hotel Mario''(CD-i, 1994), ''Super Smash Bros.''(N64, 1999), ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''(Wii, 2008), 1980s interview footage of Robert Fripp describing his introduction to the writings of George Gurdjieff, the cover of ''Ecco The Dolphin''(Sega Genesis, 1992), ''Link: The Faces of Evil''(CD-i, 1993), the "Competition Results" music from the ''Sonic The Hedgehog 3''(Sega Genesis, 1994) OST, the 2007 Cadbury Gorilla commercial featuring "In The Air Tonight"(1981) by Phil Collins, a 1980s interview with Phil Collins that had previously been often used by SeductiveBaz, an image of a Jolteon and a Vaporeon, the music videos for "Misunderstanding"(1980), "In Too Deep"(1986), "I Can't Dance"(1991) and "Jesus He Knows Me"(1991) by Genesis, the Nostalgia Critic, and footage of "Macho Man" Randy Savage. The band King Crimson acts as an overarching concept across the entire match, with every round's title referencing songs and other releases by the band, and many of the songs themselves are added into the match. These include "Discipline"(1981), "21st Century Schizoid Man"(1969), "One More Red Nightmare"(1974), "I Talk To The Wind"(1969), "Lark's Tongues In Aspic, Part I"(1973), "Fracture"(1974), "Dinosaur"(1995) and "Lizard"(1970). By the final round, Genesis and Phil Collins have also appeared in the mix, and one section features a flurry of album covers of the music output of all three entities.

It was the first match played by both Nineroe and valkiriforce, and contributed to 2014 acting as the beginning of the "Silver Age"(2014-2018) of tennis. valkiriforce's style bears the heavy resemblance and influence of Temeku/MTB710, and was instrumental in giving the match a "classic" feel across rounds that increased in intensity with every installment, culminating in a relentless tour-de-force final round. One of the match's most avid embracers was {{dani_phantump}}, who actively followed the match from Round 2 onwards and who was also a predominant influence upon the content of the match itself, as its grand majority happened to align with their interests at the time. Nineroe and valkiriforce were also admitted fans of their work. The text to speech voice saying "g explosion" at the end of Round 3 was the direct product of a YouTube comment left by dani_phantump on Round 2, verbalizing a combination of sounds heard during the sampled explosion from the AoSTH episode "The Robotnik Express"(1993). dani_phantump would declare at the match's conclusion that it was "'''the''' most awesome match I have ever seen in my entire time playing tennis", and would go on to play both players seperately across the following year. {{LaVieCestLol}} and DoomZappo were also major fans of this match, and {{MycroProcessor}} commented on the inclusion of "Discipline" when the match first began. In {{AshcrementVII}}'s end-of-year tennis thread for 2014, the match was considered to be one of the best overall matches that happened in that year by fiv95, LaVieCestLol and TehShadzify, and Ninero was additionally listed as one of the best newcomer tennis players, in addition to one of the most underrated.
