The third gameweek saw further thinning of the Tennis Cup flock with four games: Ophios vs The Robotic Robot, Temeku vs Crash2991, Nuthead vs NS2, and Ishkibibl vs GameBop. As the fourth week began, we saw the end of four more competitors, only one of whose games defaulted in forfeit.
Each of the matches were relatively close calls, with voters once again remarking that they had to make “tough choices.” NS2 overcame tennis veteran Nuthead with a lead of a just a few votes. Ishkibibl defeated skilled destructionist GameBop, as the latter was forced to forfeit his high place and chance for entering the semifinals. And in a mighty clash, Ophios defeated TheRoboticRobot with a marginal lead.
Now, Ophios and NS2 have played out their stunning match which is sure to leave voters at yet another difficult choice, and Ishkibibl and Temeku have also completed their match, neither relenting their chance to face another great battle in the fifth and final gameweek, coming in just a few days.
YTP News was able to get a hold of Ophios after completing his match for our gameweekly mini-interview.
Howdy, Ophios. Congratulations on making it to the Final Four and thank you for taking some time to do this interview.
No problem, I got some free time now, might as well do this.
What is something identifiable about you and your style in Tennis? Any notable sources you often use?
Well, I guess the one thing that puts me apart from other poopers in tennis is that I don’t go all willy nilly all the time in my rounds. Maybe it’s because I don’t have the patience to, or because I was “raised” with simpler poops. Source-wise, I don’t really have anything notable in my opinion. I just use whatever I get, and I get what I find interesting.
What has your experience in the Tennis Cup been like so far?
Rather tiring. It’s fun at first but having to make so many poops when you don’t want to can be a brain drain, but at least I tried new things.
Now that you’re in the semi-finals, who do you look forward to playing in the finals?
Well, that’s assuming I make it to the finals, doesn’t it? IMO, I don’t really have anyone looking forward to. I just take it as it goes.
Do you think there should have been different players in the final four?
I never really put much thought into, and to be honest I don’t know much of anyone outside of who I tennised against, and a handful of others. So I can’t really say.
Thank you very much for your time, and good luck in the Tennis Cup.
You’re welcome.
NS2 vs. Ophios Review by MAZZ0Murder
Round 1-NS2-Snake Had a Restaurant
The first round of the uses footage from Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (MSG4) and Tekken 4. NS2 uses a scene when Snake is in a graveyard visiting a tomb. When he is called to duty. NS2 uses flipping, rotations, repetition, and when he can make Snake cuss. Lines from Tekken 4 tend to stand out more in the round, such as “The food here sucks!”. The majority of the round uses MGS4.
Round 2-Ophios-Snake had a touch
Ophios starts with a quick Metal Gear clip used from round one and then throws in his added source, The Golden Touch. This round’s focus would be audio effects. The round is shorter than round one, and also adds an annotion which reads “Sup nigga”. the round ends with a king character flipping back and fourth in a chaotic matter.
Round 3-NS2-Snake Had a Link
The round starts to get more effects with the added source being Twilight Princess, and some more MGS4 footage. The most noticeable use of the Twilight Princess footage would be a part which uses Zant with the threshold and cropping zoom effect. The round starts off very fasted pace and with a variety of effects. The last ten seconds are unedited. The round’s time is the same as the previous round.
Round 4-Ophios-Snake linked to a shock site
Ophios adds two newer sources to the round. A clock from the Chrono Trigger DS countdown site, and “some weird guy”. The only traces of MGS4 that are noticeable in this round is right at the very beginning with a slowed down Snake “No.” The “weird guy” comes back to shout in the round and is the most used footage. Whether he’s slowed down, boosted in audio level or flipping around, it is the dominant source in this round.
Round 5-NS2-Snake Linked to Himself
NS2 adds a newer source which comes from a game called 2Xtreme. The focus of the round is pretty even between what is seen visually and what is heard. NS2 is able to successfully reverse a clip using WMM, and uses repetition as one of his main effects throughout the round. The round is the shortest one of the match.
Round 6-Ophios-Snake am the demons
The last round of the match. Rocko’s Modern Life and a short clip of Bill Nye the science guy are added into the round. Rocko’s Modern Life’s cheese character stands out the most in the round with his lines. Some sentence mixing is used. Clips quickly flip back in forth in the beginning and then reserves as the round goes on.
Final Thoughts
NS2, true to his word, used the Metal Gear footage from the game which corresponded with the tennis bracket’s number (4). The rounds start off slowly, get faster during the next set, and then slow back down again towards the match end. The rounds are all very fast paced and short, so people will not have to worry about excessive time. NS2 and Ophios are very skilled and well matched. Neither one stands out form the other.The match is one I would recommend watching!
Ishkibibl vs. Temeku Review by BigFatPooperScoop
So it seems we have come to Bracket 4 of the now infamous Youchew Poop Tennis Cup. This match features two very talented poopers in Ishkibibl and Temeku. Unless someone else that actually matters was found to write up this review, you guys are stuck reading whatever crap I can type up. So without further delay, let’t take a look at the match.
ROUND 1: WINNEBAGO MAN’S REQUIEM
The opening round is based off the outtakes of “Winnebego Man”. It seems like a newer source for pooping material. Several visual and audio effects thrown in, with the majority of the video relying on well placed swearing. Not too much overdone, enough for a first round. An interesting start to set up some good material to work with for sure.
ROUND 2: WINNEBAGO’S SEXY SUSPENDER STRIPTEASE
Now things start to pick up. Effects have picked up tremendously, along with the addition of two new sources into the mix. I found in particular the be fond of the vocal audio effect used in the condom commercial. Needless to say that this was an impressive return, and definately gives alot of ground to work with.
ROUND 3: FRESH PRINCE SUSPENDER ORGY
It seems that now we are having ourselves an intense match on our hands. The visuals really start to show off this time around with good use of cropping and tracking. Fresh Prince added some really amusing moments with sped repetitions and loud insanity. There are some moments of empty footage, be it made intentionally, though they do not seem to take away from the round. A good show and looking forward to the next.
ROUND 4: THE JUHOKER SUSPENDER ORGY
This round is shorter than the previous ones, but it definately continues to be an improvement. The level of ludicrious carnage really reaches new heights in this latest entry. Be it a seizure-inducing Mr. Clean or Fresh Prince melting away the Fox newsroom, this one certainly stands up to its worth. Increased effects and hard work made this yet another truly awesome piece, one that may be quite hard to top. I guess we will have to see.
ROUND 5: THE JUHOKER’S LOLI OBSESSION
Ishkibibl’s final stand comes with this one. A small return to Winnebegos from the past just for laughs. Again relying on some of the cursing from GTA4, but also with a good amount of visual mayhem thrown in. Manipulation to the words of the clown prince also made me smile. Definately his best work during this match.
ROUND 6: A WITTY TITLE I CAN’T THINK OF AT THE MOMENT
Temeku has the final word here, and boy did he come out with a bang. The first nineteen seconds seem to follow the path of the previous rounds, and then the fun truly begins. The best session undefined rapage was an unbelievably beautiful gift for my eyes and ears to behold. Again, definatly the best work he did out of a truly classic match.
FINAL THOUGHTS
This was a truly epic match. It started out with an amusing poop, and ended up turning into a magnitute of truly legendary porportions. My hat goes off to both Ishkibibl and Temeku for one of the greatest matches I have seen in quite some time. I would recommend anyone who has not watched this already to go ahead and do so. It will be a hard choice to decide a winner here. Good luck to both of you.

I love how Ophios is pretty much one of the least talkative people to do an interview with.
