Appearance[]
Kapi is a grey-furred anthropomorphic cat with long grey hair that he ties into a ponytail, long spiky whiskers and three piercings on his right ear.
He wears a reddish-pink, blue and yellow hoodie with hanging strings, dark grey pants and a pair of blue and dark grey shoes with white accents.
In his third song, Hairball, he is angry and his poses have symbols. His down pose has a lightning bolt, his left pose has an anger symbol, his up pose has sweat, and his right pose has dark lines.
In his 4th song, Nyaw, he occasionally meows. In addition, at one point in the song, Boyfriend also meows. Kapi is also no longer angry.
Trivia[]
- In the opening credits of the mod, it is stated that PaperKitty is NOT a furry, meaning Kapi is just an anthropomorphic cat for the sake of being anthropomorphic.
- Beathoven is a remix of Beethoven's Sonata No 8 in C minor Op. 13 "Pathétique": III. Rondo. It is a near-direct remix of the popular Beethoven's Virus by BanYa, featured first in Pump It Up Perfect Collection (November 2000) to present (Pump It Up XX).
- Alternatively, Beathoven can also be a reference to other music games that uses the Sonata piece, like O2Jam and StepManiaX, as shown in this video comparison.
- Nyaw remixes Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 3rd Movement. Like Beathoven, this is also a remixed version of Pump It Up (Zero)'s Moonlight released in 2006 and also by BanYa.
- Instead of singing, he plays the notes on a Dance Dance Revolution pad.
- Kapi's left pose may be a reference to the Crane Kick from the show Cobra Kai and the movie The Karate Kid.
- In Beathoven, 40 seconds into the song, the sound effect from the game "Among Us" in which the player activates the "Emergency Meeting" button can be heard.
- In Nyaw, right before the second meow at 1 minute 33 seconds, the explosion noise (Rocket shot.wav) from Roblox plays.
- Similarly 2 minutes and 12 seconds into Hairball the entering battle sound from "DELTARUNE" can be heard, as well as The Noise's signature "WOAG" from Pizza Tower earlier in the song.
- Also heard during Nyaw, is a meow whenever Kapi does his "Nyaw!" animation. Kapi does this several times throughout the song, which Boyfriend eventually mimics himself. While Kapi's "meow" is a Mario Paint sound, Boyfriend's is voiced by BBPanzu, as seen on the GameBanana page where in the contributors section under BBPanzu's name is the description, "For sitting down and saying meow 16 different times."
- At 1 minute and 58 seconds into Nyaw, a melody similar to "Targets!" from Super Smash Bros. Melee can be heard.
- At 1 minute and 9 seconds into Nyaw bass.wav from Roblox can be heard.
- The vending machine with blood on it in the background is a reference to Madness Combat 4: Apotheosis, more specifically the scene where a grunt is crushed by said vending machine at 1 minute and 24 seconds in.
- In the background, a pinball machine (labelled "PAINBALL") featuring Daddy Dearest's likeness can be seen.
- There's also a mask hung on the wall that resembles the faces of the father and son from Dad 'n Me.
- In the background, to the right of Boyfriend, there is a poster of a Nintendo Switch console with the word "drift" on it. This is likely a reference to 'Joycon-Drift', an issue with the Switch in which the detachable controllers will have a malfunctioning joystick and will cause the cursor of the game to move without intentional input.
- It may be hard to notice, but in the background of Nyaw, there's an anthropomorphic cat with a warden uniform, and a bland white stickman, both from Battleblock Theater.
- On the sides of the welcome sign, there's a gem and a strawberry that seem to resemble the gem and strawberry collectables from Battleblock Theater
- In a Discord post PaperKitty confirmed Kapi and Boyfriend are friends from high school.
- Despite the fact that you are able to hold long notes on some Dance Dance Revolution pads, Kapi does not have any long notes on any of his turns except for one in Nyaw, while Boyfriend consistently does.
- Likewise, due to Friday Night Funkin's lack of sprites for such event, Kapi does not visually hit double notes.
- There is an accessory resembling Kapi's cheek spikes on Roblox.
- VS. Kapi Mod is currently the 6th most downloaded mod with over 848.1k downloads (as of September 6th, 2021).
- The mod got updated to include 2 new songs, those being Hairball and Nyaw.
- There is also an overhaul with the portraits, and Girlfriend wears different clothes as well.
- Hairball is the only song not composed by PaperKitty, instead composed by Mike Geno.
- Mike Geno worked for the Mid-Fight Masses mod, which is the reason why it uses a different soundfont for BF's voice.
- Kapi’s poses are unique in that they don’t indicate towards the direction of their corresponding arrows. This is because their dance-pad is rotated to face Boyfriend, meaning Kapi’s poses are based on the arrows from his perspective rather than the player's.
- Similarly, the colors of the arrows in this mod are changed to match the coloration of the arrows on Kapi’s dance-pad. This further illustrates the above.
- Kapi slightly bops his head more aggressively in his angry idle animation.
- The crowd in "Nyaw" includes several cameos, one of which being Snick the Porcupine from Pizza Tower. This may be a nod to the fact that "Pesto Anchovi", a song featured in Pizza Tower, is also based on Moonlight Sonata.
- Girlfriend has no crying animation for her new outfit, leaving it switching to her normal design whenever you mess up.
- Due to his pointed ears and gray fur, Kapi is often easily confused for a wolf.
- Skid and Pump can be seen playing a claw machine in the background of Beathoven and Hairball. They stop to join the crowd in Nyaw.
- These are some facts about Kapi according to PaperKitty on Discord:
- Kapi and Boyfriend used to have a nicotine addiction, and quit one day after the school nurse said that it makes them virgins.
- Kapi works at a donut shop.
- Kapi likes to listen to rock/indie music.
- Kapi has Tourette Syndrome, and playing rhythm games helps him control his tics better.
- Kapi’s room walls are littered in posters.
- Kapi is pansexual.
- This is hinted at by the colors of his hoodie.
- Kapi is allergic to apples.
- Kapi was bullied by Whitty in his junior years.
- Kapi's favorite food is pancakes.
- Kapi can drive.
- In a Twitter reply, Kapi has a low attention span and sucks at chess.
- Also noted in a Twitter post by PaperKitty, Kapi's voice is similar to the dubbed voice of Narancia Ghirga from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
- In a more recent Twitter post from September, PaperKitty referenced a GameToons video in which Kapi appears in, stating that Kapis' canon voice is now that of the voice he had in the video.
- Kapi is the second character to enter an angry phase, then leaves it afterwards. The first was Ridzak, while the third is Trollge.
- In the background of Nyaw, is the TikTok user “marble._.cat”. She is a Kapi fangirl and was added in by PaperKitty. This fact was confirmed in the description of the video showcasing the full week.
- In the background of Nyaw, "Protagonist" is present. He is the main character in a web comic titled "Oddport Academy".
- For some reason, Wocky and Beathoven's dialogue files are in Senpai and Roses' data folders respectively.
- Unlike most other mods, Nyaw is detuned. This means it is being played at the key of D minor MINUS half a semitone. In other words, in order to make a cover of Nyaw, detuning any new vocals is mandatory.
