SKAI
Heeeeeeeello again! I'm SKAI, and welcome to the second in our series of SKAI-Views! Today, we’re chatting with Spar Kart’s very first World Champion, the one-and-only Zefph!
Zefph
Very chill, almost seems like he’d rather be somewhere else, like a racetrack
…’Zup.
SKAI
The difference in vibes is very apparent, but trying to keep up the energy
…A man of many words, I see!
Zefph
Just savin’ the chatter for the road, yeah?
SKAI
Oh yeah, definitely! Well, as I said you were our very first World Champion in 2061, and you certainly haven’t shown any signs of slowing down. What do you do to keep that momentum?
Zefph
I just…don’t like seeing anyone on the road ahead of me. If I see the back of your head, I lock in on you. Easy.
SKAI
Well, the competition is really tough out there, so how do you feel about your current placement?
Zefph
…Yeah no I’ll tell you when I’m in 1st.
SKAI
Ooh, okay, hit a bit of a nerve there, huh? Haha. Change of subject: How did this journey start, I mean your whole Spar Kart journey? What got you on the road in the first place?
Zefph
I was playing another fighting game at the time. When everyone finally acknowledged me as the best ever, I started to get kinda tired of it, honestly, so I hopped on here in early beta & never looked back.
SKAI
Okay, so for context, Zefph got, like, four world champ wins in Fray-for-All!
Zefph
Five.
SKAI
Five! Wow…I can see why you’d be “tired of it”! Haha! Anyway, your skill is incredible, but I think a lot of us want to know why you chose to race with a bike & sickles. What’s up with that?
Zefph
I have a bike IRL, & I like it ‘cause it’s fast and cool. My main in Fray-for-All! had dual sickle so I used that ‘cause it’s easier to use what I know to be on top.
SKAI
Fantastic strategy! Now, tell us about your server & crew Zenith.
Zefph
I use my server to practice & spar & stuff, usually with members of my crew. I created Zenith to be the best at Spar Kart ever. It’s perfect practice.
SKAI
Everyone knows Zenith is at the top of the crew leaderboard globally. Can you tell me what your crew’s secret is for maintaining that top spot?
Zefph
Same as me. We don’t settle. Easy.
SKAI
“Easy,” he says, haha! Well, thank you so much for chatting with…me? Oh, oh, he’s leaving already, uh…anything else you want to say to all the—
Zefph
Nope. Gotta go. Spar sesh.
SKAI
Oh, okay. Well no rest for the best, eh? Wow. He is fast. Well, that wraps it up for our second SKAI-View! I hope you’ll catch us next time as I chat with our next featured player!
