Conradslater vs. Misselaineous10: Difference between revisions

Line 38:

As soon as only a matter of months later, the match was being celebrated, documented and discussed in detail not only for being the first match ever played, but also as a match of fantastic quality and entertainment value in its own right. Round 5 and 6 in particular continue to be praised and remembered for the earth-shattering precedents that they set for the visual, energetic and musical editing present across both videos. In {{RabbitSnore}}'s retrospective review of the match November of 2007, he summarized it aptly as "a paragon of [video] tennis, the [rounds] superb, the editing never lazy. This is the way [video] tennis ought to be played." He also around the same time referred to it as the best tennis match he had ever seen, going on to give particular praise to Miss10's Round 6 as a favorite and highlight. He would express the desire to play both players, both matches of which would happen.

In the early versions of Rabbit's Tennis Café threads, he and Crash2991 often brought up this match as part of the early canon consisting of tennis's best and most legendary matches, which included the oft-mentioned [[RabbitSnore vs. conradslater]](2007) and [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]](2007). This match is often seen as setting a template for much of the tennis that was to follow after it, with Round 5 and 6 of this match in particular being seen as a gateway to the many matches that would subsequently come to rely on the increasingly intense visual and aural editing that would become the dominant image of tennis entirely.

This was among the handful of matches that received reference in RabbitSnore's early tennis document ''The Observational Guide to [YTP] Tennis'', which also named the matches [[Stegblob vs. TyrannosaurusReich]], [[BMATF vs. UncleChuckTH vs. Wikiwow]], [[Wikiwow vs. UncleChuckTH]], [[Thereisnospoon303 vs. RabbitSnore]], and [[MilkR0und vs. Y2Zero]], and was one of few to carry over into the revised versions published on [[YellowTealPurple]] in 2025.

<small>"It's fascinating how the first match with Conrad and Miss10 set precedents that largely remain adhered to. Video titles are generally still in concert with each other, rounds are still often between 1 and 2 minutes long, and there are a lot of final rounds running around that function as pseudo-musical montages."</small><ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-on-the-ground-floor-of-the-hotel-tennis.30/post-43771</ref>
