''[[https://gamebanana.com/mods/44683 Vs Kapi: Arcade Showdown]]'', is a ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' GameMod created by [=PaperKitty=], bbpanzu (creator of ''VideoGame/VsCarol'', ''VideoGame/VSSky'', ''VideoGame/VSSunday'', and ''The Date Week''), and Mike Geno (who also composed the tracks for ''VideoGame/MidFightMasses''), notable for being the first mod to feature its opponent leave an [[TurnsRed angry phase]]. It also has a guest appearance of Mr. Game & Watch.

* GuestFighter: Aside from Mr. Game & Watch in Kapi's mod, Kapi himself appears as one in [[spoiler:''VideoGame/TimesAndTribulationsVsOmega'' as one of the Cameo Battle opponents. In that mod, he's shown to be a older, bitter guitarist thanks the TimeCrash set by Boyfriend and Girlfriend, particularly wanting to kill the latter out of vengeance in an apocalyptic world. The achievement for beating his only song, "New Retro", even describes this future Kapi as the defender of said apocalyptic world.]]

* SuddenlySpeaking: Boyfriend, who is normally portrayed as either [[SilentProtagonist mute]] or TheUnintelligible, speaks in clear English in the cutscenes throughout the whole main week. Justified, as he's talking to Kari, who was his friend during high school.

Boyfriend and Girlfriend enter the arcade when the former manages to meet up with an old friend from high school: an [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic cat]] named Kapi. Kapi, cocky and smug as he is, deems Boyfriend as nowhere cool enough to date his girl, and challenges him to a rap battle...except he's bringing his ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution'' skills to the test against his old friend's microphone!

Taking your Girlfriend out to the arcade, you meet an old friend, Kapi. He, however, has deemed you're nowhere near cool enough to date your Girlfriend... You've gotta defend your right to date her against one cool cat.

''[[https://gamebanana.com/mods/44683 Vs Kapi: Arcade Showdown]]'', is a ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' GameMod created by [=PaperKitty=], bbpanzu, and Mike Geno.

* TheCameo: Mr. Game & Watch, specifically his ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' incarnation, makes a surprise appearance with his very own track, the "Flat Zone 2" remix from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl!''

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: The fact Kapi uses a ''DDR'' pad for "rap fighting" results in an interesting effect: he never uses hold notes, whereas Boyfriend does frequently, which is a result of most DDR pads not having hold functions. Not a drastic change, but still notable. That said, there is ''one'' time in the final song where Kapi does a hold note, but it still [[SlidingScaleOfGameplayAndStoryIntegration fits in-story]] because his board was breaking down, so even if it was possibly an oversight meta-wise it could be considered in-universe to be a literal board glitch.

#Flatzone ([[UsefulNotes/GameAndWatch Mr. Game & Watch]])

* AdaptationalJerkass: In this mod Girlfriend is perfectly fine breaking up with Boyfriend over him losing a match to Kapi - at least, according to Boyfriend's imagination, if the thought bubble around said scene is interpreted that way.
* BadassNormal: Kapi is just a normal cat person who's very good at DDR.
* TheCameo: Mr. Game & Watch, specifically his ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' incarnation, makes a surprise appearance with his very own track, the Flatzone 2 remix from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl!''

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Despite the mod involving a catman rapping against a human guy over who gets to date a demon girl, there's still some notable realism abound. Specifically, unlike how Boyfriend and most other opponents can sing to their hearts content using mics without any problems, Kapi using a DDR board means that the increasingly intense tunes of their battling causes the board to start breaking down due to all the abuse. As a result, when he goes utterly ham on it during the fourth song despite noting this, he ends up [[spoiler:causing a power-outage in the entire arcade due to short-circuiting the board and blowing out the electricity]].

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: The fact Kapi uses a DDR pad for "rap fighting" results in an interesting effect: he never uses hold notes, whereas Boyfriend does frequently, which is a result of most DDR pads not having hold functions (expect for one note in Nyaw, but that’s probably an oversight). Not a drastic change, but still notable.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In this mod Girlfriend is perfectly fine breaking up with Boyfriend over him losing a match to Kapi.

* NonstandardGameOver: If you lose to Kapi, rather than simply being blue-balled, you are treated to a small scene in which Girlfriend leaves Boyfriend for him.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: The fact Kapi uses a DDR pad for "rap fighting" results in an interesting effect: he never uses hold notes, whereas Boyfriend does frequently, which is a result of most DDR pads not having hold functions. Not a drastic change, but still notable.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: The fact Kapi uses a DDR pad for "rap fighting" results in an interesting effect: he never uses hold notes, sticking with either stairs or jacks, while Boyfriend uses all three note types, which is a result of most DDR pads not having hold functions. Not a drastic change, but still notable.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: Kapi doesn't fight Boyfriend by singing, instead using a DDR board to attack. This bites him in the butt when [[spoiler:he goes too hard and breaks it, causing a power surge that takes the whole arcade's power down.]]

Taking your Girlfriend out to the arcade, you meet an old friend, Kapi. Kapi, however, has deemed you're nowhere near cool enough to date your Girlfriend... You've gotta defend your right to date Girlfriend against one cool cat.

!!Song list:
#Wocky
#Beathoven
#Hairball
#Nyaw
#Flatzone

* UnderestimatingBadassery: Kapi clearly expected the Boyfriend to be a pushover, getting more and more annoyed as he can't definitively beat him in a match.

#Nyaw

* SoreLoser: Kapi doesn't take repeated losses well, losing his temper in Flatzone but somewhat calming down again for Nyaw.
