GameBop vs. Moogle vs. Metzgorrre: Difference between revisions

Line 39:

It was the 51st match completed by GameBop, the seventh match completed by Metzgorrre and the 15th and final match completed by Moogle. With titles starting out fairly conventional, Metzgorrre's Round 3 title is interpreted to contain smiley face emoticons in its brackets around the words, which GameBop inverts into frowning faces for Round 4 and creates a new path in title progression. Moogle liberally uses much more complex emoticons in both of their remaining round titles, Metzgorrre creates a face with 7 eyes in Round 6 and GameBop adds an eighth eye to it and duplicates it, along with bookending with a pair of decidedly more "alien" faces in Round 7, and a surprised emoticon face appears to conclude this bit in the final round's title. GameBop's reverb-laden and visually saturated Round 4, "-:( you do not ):-"(2010), which {{TheChutley}} commented positively on for its "Awesome ambiance"<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcMlEIbMIhE&lc=UgxkZXxWZ_g8ruhePTZ4AaABAg</ref>, was known for many years for having never recieved any kind of thumbnail from YouTube -- a comment from {{mrdoognoog}} indicates that it finally recieved one sometime in 2020<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcMlEIbMIhE&lc=UgwEgnEKTZq9XNkR0gx4AaABAg</ref>. Metzgorrre's Round 6 and Round 9 uniquely feature abstract animated lines and MSPaint creations that seem to be self-provided. With Round 6 providing onscreen text to introduce its contents as clearly "youtube poop tennis", Round 7 follows this up with text that reads "[[YellowTealPurple|Yellow Teal Purple]] Tennis", and provides a colored background that transitions through all three colors in a hue cycle. Additionally, it was noted that a serrendipitous moment of mirrored Tommy Wiseau in ''The Room''(2003) saying "NAH"(taken from his signature delivery of "I did not.") was repeated almost verbatim in "LOCKEKOFF IS DA NU BIG DUUB BOOM"(2010), Round 4 of fellow Set 3 match JakeSteel/SynaMax/SergeantBacon vs. Sploltoen vs. Kurkop(2010), which would have been uploaded only within a day of this match's Round 7.

Moogle's rounds in this match are among the most ambitious and visually/aurally complex of all of their tennis output, a product of them adapting in a unique and whimsical way to the changing maximalist stylistic standards around them at the time while still retaining a style grounded in humor and cheeky playfulness with their content. Upon seeing GameBop's Round 4, they commented "Now this one round of yours has nothing in common with my regular style... but I promise I'll do my best to adapt to it."<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcMlEIbMIhE&lc=UgxgITklRxhN3VVNgst4AaABAg</ref> Round 5, "(˚ب˚ )oh yes indeed we do (˚ب˚)"(2010), provides a major and unforgettable pivot in match progression that ends up defining the exchange as a whole, with abstract, slow moving and sparse visual treatment of the previous round, often utilizing the pan-cropping of layers treated with aggressive Color-Curving and negative Unsharp Mask, underscored by a mostly unedited passage of dialogue from ''Old Men in New Cars'' of characters Harold, Martin and Peter attempting to reserve a hotel conference room. This dialogue becomes a main feature of the match -- usurping and then later being combined with the already signature "I'M A GREAT WHITE SHARK! WHAT DO I EAT?" from the first two rounds -- almost until its end, only becoming obscured by Metzgorrre's final round. Moogle subsequently expressed upon finishing this response, with regards to what it responded to, "I'm now convinced anything can be volleyed."<ref>https://archive.yellowtealpurple.net/youchew/forum/31-completed-games/71726-gamebop-vs-moogle-vs-metzgorrre-done-vote/1.html#post-2947896</ref> Throughout their other rounds, Moogle manages to create the image of a sun with a face, a "stick figure" using video frames, and multiple atypical shapes (including that of a Jolteon in three seperate parts) entirely through cookie cutting, pan-cropping and unusual masking of different video layers.
