Emperor Ing vs. Moogle was a YouTube Poop tennis match played as a part of the Tennis Season, taking place between October 12 and October 20, 2009. It was a part of the Week 12 lineup which consisted of 6-Round "Limited" matches, meaning that source additions for each round were kept strictly at three, round length was limited to between 30 seconds and 3 minutes, and at least 20 seconds of the previous round was required to be used. Of the team match-ups posted for this gameweek, this represented the match-up of Windows Movie Maker Miscreants vs. Team Gilgamesh.

Due to both players having a penchant for "crude" humor-based YTPs, especially ones involving CD-i, Ing and Moogle both set out in this match to make "bad" responses to each other; visual effect editing was pushed into the background in favor of a match progression that focused mostly on sentence mixing and word replacement, often going for the low hanging fruit in terms of jokes, along with simple and strategically placed repetition of clips and stutters. With Emperor Ing subtitling the match thread as "NINJA CHALLENGE", much of the sources used revolve around the Z-grade Ninja films of Godfrey Ho, with Ninja: Silent Assassin(1987), Ninja Destroyer(1986), Ninja Empire(1990), Ninja Squad(1986) and Golden Ninja Warrior(1986) all seeing usage across the match. Link: The Faces of Evil(1993) is added into the match in Moogle's Round 2, and becomes an essential ingredient for many of the sentence mixes done in the remaining rounds, with "Fuck! YOOOOOOOU" being heard in some iteration all the way through to Round 6. Other sources added into the match include a circa 1950's interview with Lolita(1955) author Vladimir Nobokov, an 1873 colored engraving of British poet Lord Byron(1788-1824), the 1835 painting Lord Byron in Albanian dress by Thomas Phillips(1770-1845), a censored NSFW image of Touhou character Satori Komeiji, Megaman Legends, Beauty & Warrior(2000) and Boku No Pico.

NS2 best described the match as "A battle of wits. Who can lose the greatest in their adventure to win." A match greatly enjoyed by its participants, it has been acclaimed as one of the best and funniest 1v1 matches to happen in the season, and remains a textbook example of the humor and aesthetics of the original generations of tennis staff at their classic best. Emperor Ing regarded of this match upon completion "probably now this stands as one of my best tennis matches I've ever played, and one of my favorite.". The match additionally received praise from RAKninja, ChrisGendo, MAZZ0Murder, SkyGuy16/Triple_sSs, quax94, AmiralMachin and MycroProcessor, who wrote one of their traditional evaluations of every round after the serve. Moogle's rounds of this match spent many years gone/hidden from YouTube before being rediscovered and reuploaded in 2012 (Round 4) and 2020 (Round 2 and Round 6). Emperor Ing, who had so far lost every match he had played for his team in the season, was determined to win this match and exerted a considerable amount of effort in crafting each of his rounds. He would in fact end up achieving his one and only victory with this match, winning with 6 votes against 4. It was first compiled into a single video on the YouWouldBeWelcome account in July 2021.

The Full Match

Round 1

"Bruce Baron's Wacky Initiative to Consolidate his Constituency" by Emperor Ing

Description:

The ultimate ninja warlord inspects his troops on the eve of a great battle. Seeing their valor unmatched, he plans to give them inspiring words to live by, but their loyalty truly knows no bounds. However, on the homefront, a mysterious thief has been stealing his stuff, causing him to fly into a rage. He gathers his ninja warriors in an attempt to find his precious stuff and and punish the thief who stole it. Hilarity ensues in this wacky and zany romp through Aberdine Harbor!

Watch out for Byron, he's VERY good.

Round 2

"Vladimir Nabokov Initiates Waki Miko Constipation" by Moogle

Round 3

"Bruce's Investigation turns Fruitful upon following Nabokov's Lead" by Emperor Ing

Description:

It turns out that the wily Ruskie was on to something, and Baron took his advice and pursued the mysterious magus known as Gwonam the Molestor los Muertos to a mysterious island. There, Baron and his rapidly degenerating banker friend and ninja warriors started their questioning, only to find that through the inquiry of a gay robot named Juno, whose methods were most unorthodox, he was able to ascertain the location of Baron's Stuff, which Gwonam had alluded to in the previous installment.

Many tortured robot screams later, Bruce amassed an all-out assault on the gay robot and Gwonam los Muertos in the hopes of gaining the knowledge of the whereabouts of Gannon and Bruce's stuff, which he pines for dearly. However, thanks to two incompetent pirates with terrible voice actors, Bruce is thrown into yet another tailspin! How can he get out of this one?

Round 4

"Bruces Anime Investigation Turns Nabokovs Foolish Followers into Fruit" by Moogle

Round 5

"Mike Abbot Reveals himself to be the Stealer of Stuff" by Emperor Ing

Description:

The bastard has the gall to taunt Bruce, saying that he will die with his beloved stuff!

An epic battle ensues, but Bruce's reality is slowly starting to crumble away as hentai shotas, poorly animated Warriors, and his ninja cohorts slowly melt into the background of an ever-growing swirl of chaos. Even Nabakov, who died in the previous installment, seems to be, due to a quantum flux of epic proportions, still making his presence felt. As players come and go, this faux tableaux becomes ever stranger and more dangerous all whilst Mike Abbot fights Bruce to the death with his own ninja strength.

The road is long and hard, and there is no guarantee of survival at the end of it, folks.

In this ephemeral evanescent ecstasy-fused endurance match, not even all of Mike Abbot's gunmanship skills can save him from some deft swordplay by an alter ego of Bruce. All those Skill Points for nothing!

However, as the dust settles, and the battle is won, Bruce realizes something important. He still doesn't have his stuff!

Where could it be? Who has it? Can Bruce get it back? What about Mike? Is he really dead? Is this really THE END?
