"Will It Kill?" Episode 7: Good Ol' Rock. Nothing Beats That!

[@itsyaboi1245]

I wanna see Sajam put a kusoge where the combo isn’t even close to killing just to see how many people are just straight guessing at random

[@bennymountain1]

all of them

[@edfreak9001]

tbh it'd be great to see that at least once

[@shury4260]

a sweep in sailor moon then the combo ends because its a sweep but still 65% of people say yes because sailor moon

[@bitterbatterdog]

Find an unoptimised, un-dropped combo in a Kusoge that doesn't kill first and then we'll talk.

[@shury4260]

@@bitterbatterdog have you ever played a kusoge? Like even in the most busted ones tods aren't free, in fuc you NEVER see tods except for lancer who is top 1 and that's only on low health chars, Sailor moon only has 1 infinite and most optimal combos don't do even 60% even fucking Hnk most combos don't kill, twitter clips and actual matches are very different

[@gamer-qk8vd]

One of the great things about this show is that Sajam is entirely unreadable for the whole thing. No free wins from him

[@F1ng0riginal]

He did give one away in 30:04. "Even this doesn't kill"

[@brianclarke9861]

@@F1ng0riginal pretty sure he's referring to naoto's super, not rise's. The one he pauses on he gave no info about. He says specifically "Even this one's close to killing btw." It doesn't necessarily indicate one way or the other if rise's will kill.

Sorry to everyone that copied my P4U2 bets. I don't know 2.0 at all and I thought wrong on the Rise one 😔 Big thanks to Sajam, Infilament, Moste, and everyone else that helps make this series. It's my favorite fighting game related series and it look and sounds like it's a looooot of work, but you guys pull it off better than anyone else would. Looking forward to the next one!

I can't believe THIS is the Will It Kill that they put on the front page of Twitch.

[@generallytrash]

For anyome craving the forbidden knowledge, the boko bar is essentially a guard gauge. When it fills up you enter a stun state and take extra damage. Game rules, go play it

[@Clarkbardoone]

I have played it, it rules and is beginner friendly even tho only hardcore fgc players would know about it.

[@generallytrash]

@@Clarkbardoone it's so sick. It actually kinda reminds me of Sailor Moon in that it's a fairly simple game built around obnoxiously strong defensive options. It's cool seeing just how basic a fighting game can get without just becoming divekick and seeing the role compression at play with basically every move in the game. Plus it's getting rollback which adds like however many points you want it to

[@kalanamak8280]

I love R.I.S.C.

[@generallytrash]

@@kalanamak8280 somehow never put that togethet but yeah it is kinda like a fusion of risc and the alpha 3 guard gauge

boko boko is the sound effect for bonking people with blunt objects in japanese, like a hammer, or your fists. basically *the beat ya ass meter*

[@shadowmaksim]

The "Aquapazza" clip might require some explanation. The game has something called an emotion mechanic. There are various facets to it but the main takeaway is that being aggressive puts you in high emotion while being defensive and spamming certain moves puts you in low emotion. While there are differences character to character, generally being in high emotion increases damage dealt as well as enhances supers and low emotion increases damage taken. Also, being below 50% health (on your second health bar) increases the benefits of high and decreases the detriments of low. A minor comeback mechanic of sorts. Tamaki is the game's resident grappler as well if that wasn't obvious, so her grab supers hit very hard. The one shown in the video can be churned (rapid continual 360 motions) for even more damage. Needless to say, it already has the potential of being able to do way too much damage. So, to give the numbers for that specific exchange: The attacking Tamaki is in high emotion with below 50% health (30% damage dealt increase) + The Tamaki getting hit is in low emotion with above 50% health (30% damage taken increase) + An enhanced Grab Super that's also churned to hell --------------------------------------------- = too much damage and a dead character

[@5000KAITOSHION]

So what your saying is Tamaki has Goldlewis butter churner super jfc

[@omnibot5848]

I remember watching arcade footage where a Karulau player landed counter hit B+C straight into critical hit Gouhajin in the corner. I don't recall if it killed or not, but I wish I could find it to submit for this segment because it does comically high damage for such a simple combo.

[@not4virus]

I went all in on yes for the last clip and got an extra 10k points from where I started, rock works every time

[@dictatorvert2491]

[@FGCbaronkorvo]

Final record: 13-12. Really struggling at the half, but was able to clutch out a positive record with some great reads near the end. Had to play the home version (i.e. the KZbin version rather than the Twitch version) this time, but I think this is the first time I've had a positive record. Great stuff as always. Can't wait for the next one!

[@FrayedFate]

The thing that gets me about the last clip is that if you’re watching, she only spent 1 bar. ONE BAR, did a life bar and a half. Wtf????

[@DeathRiderZero]

The funniest part about that super is that its damage increases if you input more 360s (think the animation changes to reflect this). It's hilarious.

[@thecountercounter9127]

The real "we got street fighter at home"

[@EvilCoffeeInc]

Fun fact: If Dhalsim Excels with full meter, he can build back a full bar in the juggles between each Excel, meaning he is one of the few characters who can get a quad-Excel combo. Real talk though, the Excel mechanic in SFEX2 is super well-balanced. It's invincible to start but your opponent can counter-excel or use a super to get out of it, and the relative cost of a super is so low compared to other games that it's actually worthwhile to do so. I wish more people played SFEX, it's a sick series.

[@FishHookEXE]

I haven't been to one of these live in awhile, I walked in like midway through like "I'm just gonna bet yes every time and see what happens" Now I'm homeless (it was fun, see y'all next month)

[@mad-dash6448]

If you play as Leo and are in back stance. You can command grab Nago as soon as he goes into blood rage and his health will keep going down during all of the animation and it kills at pretty high HP because of that.

At 35:19 Nago can delay going into Bloodrage by FD'ing on wake up or chaining (mashing) 2P/5P on whiff. As long as he's doing any of those actions, he wont go into Bloodrage when the Blood gauge is full.

[@ImPrettyBadAtTheGame]

the best thing about that clip is even if you knew about it beforehand you're entirely at Sajam's mercy as to whether or not it counts. I want more bullshit like this going forward.

[@IronicHavoc]

@@GenericSoda Nah he's been pretty consistent that animations for involuntary mechanics count for combo extensions (because you can still hit the followup with 100% accuracy if you understand the mechanics and pay attention). That's why he mentioned stuns. The general rule of Will It Kill is "can you bring the opponent to 0 health before any actions that opponent inputs are able to come out (or the round ends)?". In spirit: will they be able to kill the opponent without them ever getting any opportunity for agency. With the exception of Burst mechanics maybe, but it will usually be stated that the Burst wasn't used if it is ever available during a clip.
