AshcrementVII vs. pikalax1 vs. superkoffee was a Youtube Poop/Video tennis match that took place between September 9, 2010 and July 20, 2011. Given the informal title of "Quaint ReOccuring Noises", the match was themed around a concept of incrementally stacking repetitive sounds serving as an audio flourish to an otherwise standard match progression, with each player choosing a sound and then adding that sound to each of their responses. Originally slated to be a standard 1v1 between AshcrementVII and superkoffee, who responded "I like the way this sounds. I'm in."[1], pikalax1 subsequently appeared to make Round 2 without reading the above player confirmations, and the match subsequently was reformatted as a three-way.[2] AshcrementVII's reoccurring sound of choice was Professor Ratigan from The Great Mouse Detective(1986) sniffing pensively, pikalax1's sound of choice was Chimchar from the Pokemon animated series exclaiming "AWESOME!", and superkoffee's sound of choice was taken from Stay Tooned!(PC, 1996), particularly the in-game parody "Whinefeld" in which he focused on George Costanza's "whines".

It was the seventh match completed by AshcrementVII, the third and final known match completed by pikalax1, and the tenth match completed by superkoffee. It was the earliest match that AshcrementVII started, with his Round 1, "YouTube Poop Tennis: Nostril Flaring (Round 1)"(2010), being the earliest upload on his current channel, carrying over directly from the experimental video style he had spent time developing in his final uploads on original YouTube account AshramVII.[3] The match concept itself was enough to garner attention, with ChrisGendo, who would become AshcrementVII's first complete match a short time later, remarking of its "pretty odd rules"[4] and MrDrunkenFox commenting "Hah now that's a weird kind of match. Sounds interesting, though."[5] The match remains dedicated to this theme in some form or another for the match's duration, though becomes somewhat lost in translation due to the "extreme" and "intense" nature the match comes to take on. superkoffee's Round 6, "♟ɟ√-1ℜℳ♟ℒÅvv♟ɟ√-1ℜℳ♟ℒÅvv♟ɟ√-1ℜℳ♟ℒÅvv♟ɟ√-1ℜℳ♟"(2011) is a dramatic and explosive departure from the pace of the match that preceded it, shifting abruptly to the most dense, elaborate and intricate layering of visual effects ever executed across superkoffee's entire output as an active creator. While koffee himself has subsequently spoken plainly about the fairly rudimentary application of Final Cut Pro plugins required to create such a visual result, the video was upon upload received by viewers such as PresidentOfJelybeans, who commented something akin to "How in god's name do you people manage to create videos like this". Of subliminal note is a brief moment of silence that first appears at the end of AshcrementVII's Round 4, which subsequently is slightly (perhaps unintentionally) increased in pikalax1's Round 5, and is then comically extended in length to around 20 seconds by this Round 6.

Kurkop, who was long a fan of superkoffee's work, seemed to majorly embrace this round, and it subsequently appeared as a featured element in the climax of his set for Toronto, Canada's 2012 VIDEODROME Visual Music and A/V culture convention, his first of multiple appearances at this event, in a mix that included Kurkop's own "TackleBox"(2010), "23.11.11"(2011), "Breacon' Da Bacon Into Bacon Bitz"(2010), his entries for LeSuperKoffee's Microgame Collab 2(2010), "I WANT YOU TO CHOP MY FUCKIN' HANDS OFF"(2011), "bad videoz"(2010), and certain samples created for his "Something Occurred"(2011) project.[6] superkoffee's Round 9, "I FLARE MY NOSTRILS AS I GET ANOTHER MATCH OVER WITH"(2011) reflected a growing loss of enthusiasm towards tennis in its title, and features a single segment roughly 14 seconds at normal speed in length repeated several times starting from as sped up as possible and gradually incrementing towards as slowed down as possible, with the final instance accounting for about 5 minutes of the video's 7 minute runtime. dani_phantump has recounted seeing the project file in-person for Round 9 during their first meet up with superkoffee in August 2011. While the other two players of the match are relatively eclipsed by the singular nature of each of koffee's rounds, AshcrementVII's Round 7, "Whirring Whine(field)ing Wonderous"(2011) was used in a serve for an attempted 100-round tennis between dani_phantump and GameBop in October 2014, as dani_phantump considered it and the other videos used in this serve an early influence on their tennis style.[7] In July 2025, following a 7 year absence, AshcrementVII returned to the tennis community via joining the YellowTealPurple forums and posted a multiserve, "YouTube Poop Tennis : The Nostril Flares Back (Round Won)"(2025), a direct callback to this match's beginnings and, by extension, his own beginnings in tennis entirely.[8]

superkoffee's account that he played from, LeSuperKoffee, was terminated in 2020 due to a YouTube policy change regarding "hateful or offensive content" that came after it due to his infamous "9/11 tennis match" that took place in 2011, however his account was fully archived by dani_phantump ahead of time, allowing his rounds to remain preserved.[9] All other rounds continue to survive in their original uploads. The match was first compiled into a single video on the YouWouldBeWelcome account in February 2025.
