Crash2991 vs. NS2 was a Youtube Poop Tennis match that took place between March 16 and March 26, 2008. A rare 8 round match to happen in this period, this was another meeting of two players that would become members of the first generation of tennis staff.
A key piece of early tennis community lore originates in this match. In Crash2991's Round 7, "The Revolutionary Cat Army Take Down The Penguin King", a clip from the Telesuccess English dub of the 1977 mecha anime Voltes V is added, consisting of Kenichi Goh declaring while helping to pilot the titular robot, "WE'LL FINISH HIM OFF WITH OUR INCREDIBLE LASER SWORD!". The phrase "Incredible Laser Sword" is a mistranslation from the original more-accurate "Heaven Sword"("Tenkuu-ken"), and was likely included into the match to poke humorous fun at it. Nonetheless, it appears that there was some affection for this phrase; a month later, on April 19, 2008, Crash2991 announced in YouChew's Tennis Cafe thread the formation of a "team" with the name of Incredible Laser Sword consisting of the other regulars of the thread, which just so happened to include everyone that was to become a part of the first generation of tennis staff, including RabbitSnore. This would later extend to a separate YouTube channel created under the name IncredibleLaserSword, in which two collaborative videos created by the entire original staff (plus Markie) were uploaded in mid 2008. An elaborate Chewiki page detailing the made-up-for-fun origins of Incredible Laser Sword and the backstory and skills of each of its individual members was written by RabbitSnore, with the non tennis staff members being listed as Markie, MAZZ0Murder, and Sonicnerd23.
