[[NS2 vs. RAKninja]] was a [[Youtube Poop Tennis]] match played between August 18 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, and the first match he played on that account in its entirety. He would subsequently announce at the match's conclusion this channel as his new home on YouTube.

Initially a match themed around wrestling footage for its first third, including Hulk Hogan and Genichiro Tenriyu's December 12, 1991 NJPW match and other footage of The Iron Sheik and "Macho Man" Randy Savage, the match makes a very notable pivot at Round 3, shifting focus to be themed around minimally edited footage of classic 80s film trailers. These include ''Cinema Paradiso''(1988) by Giuseppe Tornatore, ''Willow''(1988) by Ron Howard, and ''Amadeus''(1984) by Miloš Forman. ''Zardoz''(1974) dominates the match's final round, being frequently used as a source by RAKninja in this era. Other sources to appear in the match include ''Citizen Kane''(1941), ''Manos: The Hands of Fate''(1966), ''Psych'', C-SPAN footage of then-Chairman of the Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke, the T-SQUARE songs "Because"(1988) and "Romantic City"(1991), the Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five song "The Message"(1982), the Prince song "Head"(1980), the W. Trytel composition "Saw Theme"(1961), the Fredric Bayco composition "Inferno", the Laurie Johnson compositions "Happy-Go-Lively" and "Blood in the Gutter", the Claude Debussy composition "Clair de Lune"(1905) as arranged by Helmuth Brandenburg and performed by the Deutches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, and images of Miles Davis, Peter Jackson("FROM THE CREATOR OF STAR WARS"), Paul Reubens' 1991 mugshot ("AND THE DIRECTOR OF COCOON"), Bruce Willis, and the album cover of Yellow Magic Orchestra's 1983 album ''Naughty Boys''.
