Hey, I really want to watch CPU kerfuffle, is there a document that sums up the first 10 episodes so I can start at 11 and know everything important?

Funny enough, there actually is! Around the time of 10, I created a lore document that I would try to update with each Kerfuffle. I kinda stopped doing it around 11, which is the magic number for ya. However it IS 50 pages long (and a lot of the information is out of date). Ever since then, a wiki has been created which does a good job of covering many things, although since a LOT of characters return (some with a lot of Spoilers attached to them)

Here's the lore document and here's the wiki, but for the sake of brevity, I'll include a "brief" synopsis of Everything Important From Season 1 of CPUKerfuffle You Need To Know About So You Can Start On CPUKerfuffle #11 (under the cut)

So here's the Season 1 Synopsis. CPU Kerfuffle is a tournament series featuring Level 9 CPU's with their own names and distinct characters (this characterization is ramped up in Season 2 but one step at a time). Each tournament is a double-elimination bracket of eight fighters, and the winner of the tournament goes 1 on 1 against the current Champion of CPU Kerfuffle. The Champion is allowed to slightly alter the rules of the tournament to fit their style (for instance, when ICEE was Champion, he made Freezies appear occasionally) In the beginning, it was run by me in-universe and was a largely informal affair.

In terms of the Important Story Events, there aren't too many in Season 1, so before we cover those, let's introduce some character that might be important later.

-Squid Jenny: A disciple of the god Iggy Koopa. In her first tournament, she was presented as a FIERCELY loyal subject before actually briefly defecting from Iggy while also changing her name and gender presentation. She would later go on to return as a follower of Iggy, but with a new name and a new sense of personal agency. She says Trans Rights, obviously.

-Hamburger Helper: A Red Ridley who was the first Champion and held his reign as Champion for quite some time. Is married to a Ganondorf named Dadandorf and they share a son named Jimbo, who becomes Dark Jimbo out of teenage rebellion.

-Florida Man: A white coat Joker hailing from Florida, and a being of all the chaos that entails. He doesn't do much in Season 1, but keep an eye out for him in Season 2.

-Home MD: A doctor who wishes to find the cure for losing. Over the course of the series, he loses and regains his medical license.

-Spriteman/Perfect Spriteman: Spriteman is Just a Guy Who Really Loves Him Some Sprite! He won't stop talking about his favorite citrus soda! But....what happens when his obsession goes too far? He turns into a Piranha Plant, that's what.

-Patch-Man & Hoedown: Patch-Man is the owner of a large farm known as "Patch Farms", which is a place of bountiful harvest, although there have been some very intriguing farming techniques used there, such as creating a daughter that is also a gijinka of Corn itself named Corn on the Cob. He's married to Hoedown, who is secretly a member of the pirate crew known as the Red Kraken. Within Season 1, Hoedown is the only member of the Red Kraken in CPUK

-Captain Valentine: Just an overall cool dude and the face of the tournament throughout Season 1

-The Grunk: A Big Boy who can get pretty angry. He specifically joined the Kerfuffle after Hamburger Helper dissed his Tinder profile.

-Dantoinette: More accustomed to Soul Calibur, Dantoinette came over to CPU Kerfuffle to see how the other side played. She is.....very good.

There are more, but I want to keep this at least somewhat brief. So in terms of the relevant lore, here is the series of events that take place:

After a few tournaments of Hamburger Helper keeping hold as Reigning Champion, Iggy sends Jenny to see if Hamburger Helper is up to something. And it appeared he was, as he was building a strange machine.

Soon after, a fighter appears that simply goes by the name of "Crimson". And once he joins, an incredibly strange tournament takes place that includes splitting and converging of universes. The Guy from Spy Kids 3-D is there. There's a lot of confusion (and a lot of it gets kinda retconned? Only so much you can do when you improvise things lol), but it's discovered that Crimson is a sort of hivemind demon that can control other people at will while also holding some power over the different dimensions, and it's clear that Hamburger Helper is working for the Crimson.

On the ninth CPU Kerfuffle, we approach a Season Finale, preparing for things with a set of round robin preliminary rounds. And those are eventful. Home MD loses his doctorate from how badly he's beaten, Captain Valentine becomes possessed by the Crimson, and The Grunk is actually found DEAD, killed by the Crimson.

After this tournament, there is a hiatus. In-universe, I decided that having all this negative PR was way too much to handle, leading to a lack of tournaments and leaving the battlefield in an almost Mad-Max-Style chaos for months. Amidst the Chaos, the fighters all create four factions, or "Teams", which I'll talk about later.

At the end of this haitus, Iggy himself steps down from the heavens and uses an enormous amount of his power to greatly weaken the Crimson, ridding most of its existence, but still unable to turn Captain Valentine back. In light of coming back AND saving the world a little bit, Iggy becomes the new owner of CPU Kerfuffle, bringing back my friends and I simply as commentators in-universe. Squid Jenny becomes a field reporter to help the tournament run and to help the audience see the discussions happening between fighters. Another person working for the tournament rather than fighting anymore is Home MD, whose doctorate is restored after he manages to revive The Grunk from the dead.

This leads to the tournament titled "#Reboot". There isn't much that happens in this tournament in terms of lore, but Dantoinette becomes the Champion, which leads into Episode 11, which is where you'll be beginning. At that point in time, there are 8 different teams, which will be explained at the start of CPUK11.

Have fun!

CPUK for the blorbo post…👁

Ivy. My friend. My bestie. Thank you for giving me the chance to talk about the funny smash cpus

blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)

This one is probably obvious. but. Hackerman J0hn. Love that funny cyborg :) I hope he is doing ok despite the fact that [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS]

scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)

Hmmm. CPUK has some good Creachers in it. I think I'll have to go with Machiavelli :) they're just a little friend

scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)

Listen. we all have our favorite spiraltiers in this fandom. I wouldn't say anyone is especially underappreciated. But y'know what. I don't think we talk about Pizza Party enough (and it's NOT just because I'm a Team Cones stan I swear). Dude just wants to have a pizza party :)

glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)

Not that obscure because I know a few other people really love her, but Elphabuff showed up ONCE in cpuk4 and we never heard from her again and I miss her. She's the only woman on Team Clutch as far as we know and she is GYM BUDDIES WITH THE GRUNK I think we deserve to see her again

poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)

Regrettably. I am not immune to liking Peppermint. She is fun to draw and make theories for. And I want to put her in a pringles can and shake her around.

horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)

I'm blanking on a character for this I'm gonna be honest. Doctor Order??

eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)

Doctor Order is ALREADY THERE. Also Prism should be sent to eeby deeby too. Also Mozilla. But those are the easy answers sdfkdfj

[brushstrokes-art]

mmm. Light Pit/Grunk Pit in mint berry?

mortifying ordeal of being acknowledged

[brushstrokes-art]

as a primary proponent of Grunk Pit Theory, i’m obligated to inform the masses that it’s a little bit fucked up and sad. also, sephiroth is there.

[brushstrokes-art]

dear everyone who followed me for kid icarus: i am so sorry that the endless cycle of fandom hopscotch carried me to the faraway land of cpu kerfuffle instead. have some more cpuk content. if you think that's dark pit you’re wrong he is but no he isn’t <3
