NS2 vs. RAKninja

NS2 vs. RAKninja was a Youtube Poop Tennis match played between August 18, 2009 and October 9, 2009. Originally advertised as "GeneratorSN vs. RAKninja", with GeneratorSN initially jokingly spoken of as if to be an unknown figure, RAKninja started the initial match thread specifying "a longtime fan of mine from youtube challenged me, and i had to accept." It was the second of seven matches that NS2 played on the GeneratorSN account, which he would then announce at the match's conclusion as his new home on Youtube, and the first match he played on that account in its entirety.

Initially a match themed around wrestling footage for its first third, the match makes a very notable pivot at Round 3, shifting focus to be themed around minimally edited footage of classic 80s film trailers, notably Cinema Paradiso(1988) by Giuseppe Tornatore, Willow(1988) by Ron Howard, and Amadeus(1984) by Miloš Forman. The final round of the match, RAKninja's "NS2 IS MY NINJA BRO", was repeatedly cited by him as the best video he ever made for years after. It revolves largely around usage of the film Zardoz(1974), which was frequently used as a source by RAKninja in this era. It was hailed by the community at the time as one of the best 1v1 tennis matches ever played, and to this day is still held in high regard by aficionados of classic tennis matches.
