Kurkop vs. superkoffee: Difference between revisions

Line 26:

[[Kurkop vs. superkoffee]] was a [[Youtube Poop]]/Video [[tennis]] match that took place between unspecified dates, estimated somewhere before and then leading up to March 11, 2010. The first of 9 different matches in which the two players took part throughout their time in the tennis community, and the first of three directly between just the two players, the only source to be used throughout the match from the serve onward was the music video for "Elektronik Supersonik"(2004) by Zlad!(Santo Cilauro). The match features an abundance of editing techniques and visual response ideas that were rare and unique for the time, featuring multiple simultaneous keyframed layers, oblique and unusual shapes masked out of the previous footage, editing techniques such as cookie cutting and stuttering over a TV Simulation effect executed in an offbeat fashion, and the visual construction or manipulation of faces throughout select rounds. Responses get shorter as the match progresses, indicating naturally diminishing energy between the players, with the match's final round being only 1 second long, and featuring a single visual gag of a masked gun firing a masked bullet.

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.
