It was the 54th match played by both TheChutley and ChrisGendo, the most recent to-date non-tournament match completed by the latter player and one that fully encompassed her tenure as a member of the [[tennis staff]]. With their first match being seen as the most oriented around heavy editing and their currently-ongoing third match being seen as the most oriented around comedic editing, this match is seen as a very precise, cohesive blend of the two approaches, occurring while both players were operating at the apex of their classic styles in addition to representing the peak of their early years of close friendship. Many injokes, direct exchanges of written dialogue, and whimsical, playful comedic moments are traded across every round in the match; a recurring motif involves the repeated use of the song "Mr. Suicide"(2006) by 9mm Parabellum Bullet, initially used to underscore Tommy Wiseau's character in the ''The Room'' literally committing suicide by gunshot and subsequently being used to underscore any event of (potentially fatal) misfortune that befalls multiple different characters across the match until about Round 6. The round titles of this phase of the match are also a mixture of parodies of common YTP titling tropes and a couple direct references to other videos completely, including the first YTP that ChrisGendo ever made<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU8aashn9S4</ref>. The passage of time allowed Round 7 and 8 to be a lot more free-form and less bound to the sufficiently explored ideas previously in the match, allowing it to finish on an interesting and satisfying high note. | It was the 54th match played by both TheChutley and ChrisGendo, the most recent to-date non-tournament match completed by the latter player and one that fully encompassed her tenure as a member of the [[tennis staff]].

ChrisGendo's final round occurred during her short-lived "Fujiyama Gangsta Breaks"/"chrisgendo 2.0" period of 2012-2013, with this body of work eventually being the only era of her output to get subsequently deleted from YouTube, but the round was preserved by TheChutley allowing the full match to remain intact. | ||
