Unreasonable Fighting Game Combos | "Will It Kill?"

[@teasticky]

sajam going with a chatter identifying the game based on one second of audio and then revealing it's a different game is in nearly every WIK and it gets me every time

[@birdbr4in_383]

Went 0-2 and dropped just like tournaments, damn.

[@actuallynotsteve]

Same, I got almost every single one wrong except the Aki one

[@StaccatoFry]

​@@actuallynotsteveI got everything right so far

[@Dhampire1976]

​@@StaccatoFryhe lied as easily as he breathed

[@raggysack2890]

Fun fact for Sajam about the UNI clips: characters do not die at 0hp in this game, funnily enough. They die at -1. So when you're looking for the pixel on a uni clip, just remember: there may not actually even be a pixel there.

[@ThePageofCups]

The other thing is that UNI seems to have a Last Breath sort of system where you don't die from any of the followup hits from a multi-hit attack after a combo has gone on for a certain amount of hits. The game registers you taking damage, but it stops actually removing HP. All of the UNI clips I've seen where long ass combos don't kill have always included the ending hit being a multi-hit special or super.

[@luminoseflame7120]

Props to sajam and the team for one of the most diabolical lineup of yes and no clips. "Surely it can be 'x' THIS many times in a row."

[@greenoftreeblackofblue6625]

I learned from school where one time out of 27 questions all the answers were "B" that that shit don't matter. Trust me it was evil I was put through.

[@phsquared1000]

Noah’s laugh at 10:24 once again a highlight of Will It Kill. Truly a Sol enjoyer.

[@tabkg5802]

Every Sol player shares an identical part of dna that forces us to laugh in the most diabolical way possible once something funny happens

[@shadowmaksim]

As sappy as this is, I really do want to thank Sajam and crew for the last year. Heck, the last 3 years since WIK started even. Hard to believe it's been nearly that long. Ever since ep3 with "Fate/Unlimited Codes", the very first clip I ever submitted that made it on the show, I've been hooked. Regularly submitting as much as I could damn near every WIK since. And now I've gone on a two year streak with this somehow. I don't know if it's just dumb luck or I managed to hit some sort of niche but someone on board thought they were amusing enough for the show. I just wanted to share the dumb fighters I like and maybe talk about them in the comments. And geez, what a yearly finale to retire on. Didn't think I'd get six whole clips in at the last moment. Could not have asked for anything better.

[@Infil]

We suspect you actually go out of your way to watch vods of old kusoge, looking for wacky WIK clips to submit, and we appreciate that quite a bit! Without your submissions, we basically don't get to show Chaos Code or Arcana Heart or anything like that, and our second halves would be a lot more boring. A lot of our awesome second half clips come from you and trust us, we recognize and remember the name. There's no doubt you have the most submissions that have made the show.

[@Chorkly]

Not all heroes wear capes

[@SoysauceML]

I believe that clip (or one of the unlimited codes clips) have the damage setting on not default, which makes it skewed.

[@stonesec]

o7 thank you for your service

[@tribblesfoxfolk]

o7 Thank you for keeping the second half so fun. The fact WiK STILL keeps getting new games to feature that aren’t just new installments of the biggest franchises is a big part of what makes it so much fun! And as much fun as it is to poke fun at a lot of the second-half games and basically call it the “kusoge half”, some of the games look so legit fun, like Chaos Code actually seems lit.

[@StriderHoang]

I can't get over Sajam describing how if he fell face first onto the ground he'd be in pain like we're not talking about fighting games where people generate pulsing energy blasts as a casual exchange of blows.

[@nellancaster]

Look man, just because you can throw fireballs doesn't mean you're instantly immune to fall damage.

[@FilthyZ]

I 100% agree with Saj with the mash potatoes. S tier holiday food, never fails.

[@runbutescape]

17:39 Hyde's 7-hit B DP did a grand total of 22 damage, which is hardly anything compared to the health totals. Seth has 9500 HP total, and probably had barely over 5206 HP at the start of the combo. I swear the thicker part of the white border of the HP bar is actually hiding a little more HP. Great show as always and happy holidays!

[@oroInashi]

5:04 I love how he describes us as distinguished gentlemen here. It's almost as if we aren't cavemen wishing for violence throwing rocks.

[@WolfXGamerful]

The only difference between the description and reality is a top hat

[@RougeMephilesClone]

Another satisfying year of Will It Kill. Went 11-9, first half was murder, but I unlocked in the second half to win back the 100k I'd lost. That personal element was so distracting that I need this video to appreciate the clips! I was (one of) the half-time Smash clip submitter(s). Out of everything I had, that was the clip to show. Happy holidays and happy new year to Sajam and the crew. Whether or not there's another highlight reel, I look forward to Will It Kill's return in 2024.

[@Synion]

Didn't expect to see NL here, the egglord getting to new channels. Specially now that he actually tried a fighting game

[@soulsaint4830]

The dread that sets in when you hear alrighty than chat room from sajam will never get old I love this

[@nailwind]

Northernlion caught me so off guard.. we really need to get that egg into fighting games

[@J33zas]

he played checkmate showdown no too long ago

[@Etheone22]

18:11 funny thing about this clip is that when I was submitting it, it was so low quality that it took me like 20 minutes to find what game it was from because I’m unfamiliar with kof and the tweet didn’t have any text or comments.

[@tabkg5802]

9:30 the fact that command grab can even have a possibility of killing at 70% is glorious. God I love Sol Badguy so much

[@tabkg5802]

Also for those who don't know this combo was completely burst safe

[@SyRose901]

​​​@@tabkg5802In fact, bursting in the middle is a death sentence waiting to happen, as combo scaling resets, but Sidewinder keeps its Clean Hit Bonuses from previous Sidewinders. (Idk shit about GGXXAC+R, but I have seen a clip like that I think)

[@tabkg5802]

​@@SyRose901 yeah it does hence why many Sol bros practice burst baits for juice damage afterwards (IB/Slashbacking the burst allows for raw sidewinder punish which is very much ggs) Remember Lucid Button Masher did a video on this so maybe his channel? Albeit this combo being a thing i saw on Noah_Jd's channel

[@pharaohanakaris]

"these mother fuckers are telling the truth about karnov's???" holy moly that got me good

[@blasterj.dimensions8692]

I MADE IT TO WILL IT KILL, WE LOVE TO SEE THE SHINGO ACTION!!!!!

[@chimpmasterflex]

Korone's face is just perfect for meme material (referring to the idol showdown clip). Also love seeing arcana heart 3 stuff, as it is usually free wins, because I actually played the game a ton. Their little "assists" you see in the corner affect health, but also certain characters are just way more likely to kill off stray hits. Like dorothy is mostly low-damage, but she also barely had bar. Maori is fairly high damage at times, but also had 2 bars. That said I kind of prefer those clips over having to bust out the magnifying glass on sf6 level 3s lol. Even if I Only got the aki one wrong.

[@MrBroken030]

10:15 I love those kire sidewinder combos enabling midscreen tyrant rave for maximum damage XD

[@TheIronCode]

Another year. Another WIK. Thanks for everything Sajam, keep that glow up going~

[@fakeigniz13]

Sajam built up the risk bar on chat before going in with the 70% kill

[@zix65_]

12:56 THAT'S ME

[@raptorpuns]

Karnov on the thumbnail. Gonna be a wild ride, this one.

[@BLKCLVR]

That first half was truly evil. Devious.

[@Raizearche]

Yo Sajam spittin facts, those thanksgiving mashed potatoes are always taking up the biggest portion of my plate every year.

[@RiotAugust]

it's crazy how Akatsuki really is just fully a Uni character in my head like I can't really imagine the game without him moving forward

[@Brawlatron]

I am very happy to see my brain off "French Bread doesn't kill" strat still works That last pixel is the stalest baguette crust of all time.

[@MrSlaynman]

I do love how much ppl guess my clips wrong. Also fun fact, if I cancelled the ex lariat into lv3 it would've done 100 less damage than the combo I did in the clip.

[@ApexGale]

I've played so much damn UNI the moment i saw how much health the carmine had i immediately knew he would live. swear to god that amount of hp never kills with cvo optimized combos

[@tidegaming1]

i saw that marvel snap spotlight cache vid at 18:36 i just know sajam isnt copping martyr

[@SoMuchNoise1]

NL showing up in WIK is the crossover I needed

[@kiptelgat]

I always laugh when the clip is paused at pretty much fullbar, it never gets old

[@Weebfox]

Masako blocking that jump-in by Robo Azu was actually insane Thanks to another year of WIKs, and overall just other great content too while Im at it! The roads to master in SF6 were not only super entertaining but also very informal and a great resource in getting to know characters for me

[@orionfire1947]

Oh hey maina made into the bonus clips. He does tas videos for obscure fighters, he has some really viral clips he's made with canon fights, and he also did the yoshimitsu underground clip recently.

[@johngleeman8347]

15:19 Delightfully devilish Sajam!

[@Hermit025]

Through out the entirety of WIK I think only one UNI combo has actually killed

[@flyingoctopus4304]

Thanks to Sajam and the team for giving me something to look forward to every month. I hope you all have fantastic holidays.

[@DayFul]

"Sees Dee Jay on screen" yea that's definitely a kill.

[@Ion0X]

1:43 GranJam: He said he loved my Double Honey Glazed Turkey 😢 She's dead before will it kill even begins. ⚰️💀

[@zakk219]

I went 9-11. Second half kicked my ass hard. Just wanted to thank Sajam for all the great WIK this year. This series is always fun and I look forward to it. I didn't get a chance to get to this one right away but this was a fun episode. Can't wait to see what you cook up next year.

[@kynlem]

26:46 “that slide comes out imminently” idk why but i found this super funny

[@VinceOfAllTrades]

Sajam mentioned Aki in "Third Strike XX Reload" and ngl, I wouldn't mind seeing characters getting backported into older games.

[@shadypanda64]

Never thought that I would be shown in a will it kill video and some people know me. Life achievement😭

[@kazoobard4365]

Sometimes I’m convinced Sajam has alternate clips for when people guess a game just to prove them wrong

[@baines803]

37:18 they still have them for some people you just have to commit to the string now

[@coolboyyo654]

EGG SPOTTED

[@gscan235]

Talking about Pokimane's cookies is what made testiment die. Too bad that sol is a broke boy

[@VoidEternal]

Pro-Tip for SF6: Lvl 3/Critical Art always has a minimum amount of damage it does that's not affected by scaling.

[@voltekka47]

Oh, so it's like blazblue supers.

[@solsun7350]

Lvl.3 does 50% scaling af minimum

[@chocobros1]

Shoutouts to Slaynman! 9th place at the last ever SFV major, legendary player from right here in Manitoba and now Will it Kill alumnis!

[@VoidEternal]

Rumbleverse

[@DasNarwhal]

Take a break man, you deserve it. Absence makes the heart grow fonder

[@Dreikoo]

Arcana Heart combos always are this insane actually, it's a great and vastly under-appreciated game.

[@FutureZombie07]

NOAH JD CLIP YEAH BABY

[@strikermodel]

If it's not home made gravy, I don't want a part of it. Home made gravy is the best thing.

[@masterofdoom5000]

Damn Million Arthur looks like it feels great to play, those hits be HITTING if you feel me

[@Nevquin]

Here I am in the first half, trying to vote no, like a sophisticated will it kill player. Goddammit

[@user-te8qh1gf3j]

I'd never think there would be a Will it Kill for Rumbleverse.

[@Prodighee]

He didn't notice the timeline was up on the Deejay clip. Ya hate to see it

[@boredomkiller99]

So to understand what the hell happened in to second phantom breaker clip..... So some attacks can trigger a critical hit which can lead to different properties often this is counter hits but also triggers on OTG or cross. Landing the cross up made her attack a critical which lifted her opponent up into a special unteachable juggle stat where they can't air tech till they hit the ground or wall as wall decreases untech time. However P1 used a counter burst dash cancel to switch sides only her to keep the combo going before she hit the wall only her to do enough damage to stun. Ladtly the person getting whooped has low health and is a glass cannon. Edit: many throws and special specials also put people into the juggle state

[@Ion0X]

Man that Mario Mushroom really was getting its ass beat by that sentient paper towel in the half time show huh?

[@setholsen5218]

went up 40k from this one, you a real one Jam 👊

[@JayeDidAThing]

that ggxx sol combo was nuts

[@austinfletchermusic]

NORTHERNLION POGGGG!!!

[@cesarmalgusto]

hell yeah more will it kill!! that's my jam, sajam!

[@Mr.9]

Never thought I would see an arena fighter in WIK. Definitely a pleasant surprise

[@andrew9k424]

the kill la kill one has shown up in it before i think

[@steeltoedsandals]

I always look forward to these thanks sajam and the team

[@lumenessente]

i need to see sajam learn arcana heart that would be absurdly funny

[@LTDLetsPlays]

I want to see him fight Parace’Lsia

[@maplemaple2273]

Same, it's such a fun game, I'd love to see him play it.

[@fakeigniz13]

No WIK for Christmas makes sense Thematically it's more appropriate for Easter

[@theviper2176]

Damn. The one time I miss the stream I go 16-4. I would've been rich, lol.

[@Tattybirch96]

My family has stopped doing standard Thanksgiving meals. My mom is the only one who actively likes stuff like turkey with stuffing, ham, mashed potatoes, and vegetables as a meal. This year, we did an Italian themed dinner. Lasagna, a pizza based pasta, and a tiramisu using a hot coco instead of coffee.

[@jonahwilson-leos5237]

Four yeses in a row is insane

[@raedev]

that kyanta clip had more neutral than any other kyanta clip in the history of Will It Kill, COMBINED.

[@kevingriffith6011]

Bit of a rule of thumb for Street Fighter 6 that won't help anyone specifically for Will it Kill, but If the opponent's life bar is yellow a level 3 always kills even with maximum combo scaling. Edit: I stand corrected. Still, it *usually* kills.

[@Sporkyz74]

there's an explanation of this not always being true in last month's WIK

[@DragonaxFilms]

​@@Sporkyz74OP was definitely trying to get us to lose channel points, trust no one, ignore reason, only throw rock, fr fr 🪨

[@Infil]

Definitely not true. Yellow health happens at 25% life left (2500 damage remaining) and full scaled CA does 2250 damage (full scale level 3 does 2000). If you're at the top of the yellow health, it can easily not kill, and the point of the show is that it's actually pretty hard to tell where that point is. It also changes for the higher health characters, making the guess harder.

[@kevingriffith6011]

@@Infil Like I said, it "won't help anyone specifically for Will it Kill". In a real match, if your combo drops someone into the yellow it's a reasonably safe bet that ending on level 3 usually kills, but you are right that sometimes it doesn't. It's why a lot of Aki players are asking for a QoL change for her, because you can't see if your opponent is in the yellow while they're poisoned, and it's a useful measuring stick.

[@Sporkyz74]

@@kevingriffith6011You went from "always" to "usually," and even calling it a safe bet is a stretch. A whole 5th of the yellow lifebar zone is "safe" territory for a fully scaled level 3. It's just not a particularly useful measuring stick.

[@U4ia28]

December greatest hits of the year really should be a thing.

THE NL CLIP GOT IN LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have a feeling we’ll be seeing some Kirby Battle Blitz clips on the sheet in January.

at this point this show should be called "Will it Pixel"

rock throwers were eating in the first half ngl

[@Sirloin97]

[@crowsephonedangerzone]

i have missed will it kill for the last six months despite trying every time. i am so bad at remembering last friday of the month. i'll show up on time some day.

[@poizonparfait]

6-13 Awesome, cool, cool. Thanks, Sajam, this month again. See y'all next year!

[@TurboNemesis]

I made three potato mash this year: sweet potatoes, yukon golds, and red russets with somr garlic and olive oil, homemade gravy on the side

[@NessOnett8]

As an NL fan for a decade, this is not a crossover I was expecting. Also why is that clip in the show now? Hasn't that game been dead for like 6 months+?

[@DraconicCatgirl]

I submitted the clip. I genuinely don’t know why I only thought to submit NL Rumbleverse now.

[@bugzug2407]

gimme those ooey gooey cookies

[@KazeShikamaru]

He is talking up mash potatoes? Now this is a W.

[@FangyBoi05]

Tnx for another year of WIK Mr. Sajam ❤

[@quinndepatten4442]

We never have good mashed potatoes, but when we play fighting games all we do is mash

[@marcussensory1167]

Thats the guy fron overhauls hideout that punches the fuck out of red riot and fat gum

[@Gabriel64468]

32:10 the character he couldn't pronounce is just called scarlett(red) in german. Which also means the -ch in scharlach is the typical guturral sound that makes people say german sounds angry, so pretty far from what he went with.

[@lukeblaker8009]

I love karnov balloon hell yes

[@Szarps]

noooo i meant to watch this stream live and forgot about it . . Still went 15-5 tho so thats a plus

[@chinesemassproduction]

I need to participate. I'm getting really good at guessing these.

I started 0-6, made it ALL the way back to 9-9…and finished 9-11. Damn, I love gambling.
