Matches

Set 1

ApproximateOstrich vs. slabsten84

This was the first match to complete, taking just 2 days, 13 hrs and 47 minutes to go through all 6 rounds- before many matches even started. Whilst this isnt the fastest match to be played in a tournament, it is still notable for being near the top of that list. Despite the players having very good chemistry, the match was criticized for its low effort.

BLΛCKFLΣX/Dozzyrok/Retired Arc vs. AngryLuigi23

This match is notable for having a different player for each odd round.

False Flesh vs. BluMndy

False Flesh's serve uses "Five per cent per nothing" by Yes, which is pretty cool, and also a 5 joke lol

infinitysnapz vs. Gabiwoda

This match went for a "spooky", horror-based theme

lonrefne vs. Letycjusz S.

Even though this match completed, lonrefne dropped out, giving Lety the automatic win.

Set 2

slabsten84 vs. InfernAl_Toad

While InfernAl_Toad won the match, prior demotivation to continue the tournament caused them to drop from further matches, giving slabsten the win.

Brick vs. mrdoognoog

The main focus of this match was about all things King Crimson; in particular, many references to Robert Fripp.

The final round uses a variety of Analog Distortion effects throughout. The "finale", to the ending sequence of "Larks' Tongues in Aspic Part II", used a TV broadcast of the entire match up to that point sped up, displayed on four screens, all in a circle. A camera was placed in the middle and spun around with a Lazy Susan, rapidly speeding up until cutting to black.

system128 vs. Letycjusz S.

This match focused on Touhou.

Gabrielpika vs. BortLoco

This match was about something, probably. The last round was notable as BortLoco modded many elements of the previous round into a Mario Kart map; then played through the whole thing. While being one of the most unique rounds of the entire tournament, it unfortunately didn't land him the win as Gabrielpika moved on to set 3.

Set 3

mrdoognoog vs. slabsten84

This match only went three rounds.

• mrdoognoog's serve was very unorthodox; it revolved around a repeated scene of the Sea Elebit boss fight from Elebits, as well as the tractor chicken scene from Footloose.
• slabsten's serve continues these ideas, adding some of their own. Some added sources include asdfmovie.
• round 3 had a pretty interesting effect; a cube was rendered out in frames, then traced with the "wiggle art" program to make a cool 3d outline.

slabsten dropped out after round 3, giving doog the automatic win.

infinitysnapz vs. nm41

This match was themed around The 8-Bit Guy and other youtubers - Both players have an interest in retro technology, and shared injokes, resulting in strong chemistry, and a memorable match overall.

Set 4

Neither match of this set went all the way through.

system128 vs. infinitysnapz

This match didn't get very far, as system128 dropped out shortly after the tournament began. It was intended to be a semi-successor to the finals of Doubles Cup 4, with alot of sources in common, as well as callbacks. The match is intended to be resumed as a segment within the non-tournament match between these two players.

AngryLuigi23 vs. mrdoognoog

This match was themed around the video game Pizza Tower. mrdoognoog dropped out before finishing round 6 due to not having the time to finish (or move forward in the case of a win).

Set 5

AngryLuigi23 vs. infinitysnapz

The final match of this tournament took place between April and August of 2024 - several months after it should have ended - with college and life getting in the way, some argued that this match should have never happened. Regardless, it continued anyway, and concluded to critical acclaim.

The overall theme of this match was mario, game-development, and Michael Rosen, evolving into 4th-wall breaking pursuit of 'logic'
