Slabsten vs. BortLoco vs. RaymanChrome: Difference between revisions

{{slabsten}}'s round 4 was released with a length of around ten seconds and used little if any of the previous round. When it was pointed out this would give him a penalty as the tournament rules enforce a 20 second round minimum, the original round was deleted and reuploaded at 50% speed to avoid this. {{Ivan}}'s round 5 and RaymanChrome's round 6 can be seen as the most "traditional" rounds of the match, with their styles being quite similar to their "regular" works at the time. This was not to last, however, with {{slabsten}}'s 15 minute long Round 7 defying all expectations with a visual assault of various memes, TV station indents/logos and cartoon clips. A notable repetition is the use of the "Gospel Chicken" ''Nickelodeon'' bumper (1993) throughout the round and the plotline of "Skidibi Meals". RaymanChrome's round 9, ending the match, was seen as a "bow out" from the tournament<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/set-2-gnarpyfan4000-v-bortloco-v-raymanchrome-done-vote.1235/post-17350</ref> done in an intentionally "childish" style with the previous round sped up to only a few seconds, edited to be unrecognizable, and otherwise largely obstructed by "the mario ꜱᴜᴘᴇʀ ᴍᴀʀɪᴏ"(2025), a completely different recently uploaded video of BortLoco's.

{{slabsten}} vs. BortLoco vs. RaymanChrome was played start to finish in only 12 days, making it the fastest match to complete in a tournament where matches took a month on average otherwise. It became an instant favorite with the [[Tennis Staff]], in particular {{dani}}, {{TheChutley}} and {{infinitysnapz}} who praised the complete disregard for norms set for the tournament up to that point.

This was, however, the last appearance in the tournament of all players involved; with BortLoco and RaymanChrome becoming eliminated, {{slabsten}} subsequently announced that he was dropping out from the tournament when Set 3 began, "Mainly because I just do not care" and "I literally cannot replicate whatever the hell I did in set 2 that has given me a win lol"<ref>https://yellowtealpurple.net/forums/threads/the-video-tennis-cafe-another-mr-lizard.30/post-25433</ref>.
