Ballad of the Fifty-Fifty (Loose Fighting Game Combos) | "Will it Kill?" 【𝙓𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚】 

I'm actually commentating in BOTH of the GBVS clips that made it into the show. Surreal to hear my voice on this show, even if I'm getting domed by Toast for being terrible at Will it Kill.

Sajam has found a way to make a game show and react content at the same time. truly a master of the medium

Sajam's not allowed to CALL Tasty Steve for help, however he is allowed to send Tasty Steve an email asking for help.

The craziest thing about Kyanta clips is how it's somehow 2 different characters every time

4:50 So now he admits that Will it Kill has rules. Finally the mask cracks.

Since I'm apparently that person now, time to explain some stuff about the two "Arcana Heart" clips featured here. Cause, yeah, stuff could use some explaining. So first up, that Kamui clip at 22:28. What happened in the clip was that Kamui used her CH (Critical Heart), basically the level 3 ultimate. She has a parry special (623X, A being anti-air, B being anti-ground, C being anti-low) which auto-counters if you do it successfully. If you have 3 meter and manage that parry, you have a somewhat tight window before the auto-counter happens to input 222A+B to do the CH counter for way more damage. To be clear, it's not an Instant Kill. But it is very high damage since it's hard to do so it's just tuned up as compensation. One thing to note is that CHs actually have two different versions. The regular version, and the EF (Extend Force) version which are done when you are in EF and are even stronger. The version of Kamui's CH in the clip is the EF version, you can see her enter a neutral EF to blow away Lieselotte. That itself is crazy because the two mechanics kind of make it impractical to pull off. EF is usually used to extend combos, as an RC, and the mode itself only lasts a couple seconds. Kamui's CH, being a parry, is defensive orientated since you have to react to what your opponent is doing. So the Lieselotte player going in on Kamui in that situation was quite the mistake in general. But even with all of that into account, while Lieselotte is a low health character (roughly 24000-ish health), that still wouldn't have killed normally. Even without guts scaling due to being at full health, Kamui's EF CH would only do about 20000. That's where the chosen Arcana comes in. It's hard to see but Kamui is paired with Sorwat, the Sin Arcana. One of Sin's passives is that when you are in EF, the less health you have, the more damage you do. The damage increase is kind of complicated (Ie, I don't completely understand the calculation) but it's based on the character's guts value at how much remaining health they have. Looking at the wiki, Kamui is tied for 3rd best guts in the game so it's a pretty decent increase. Add in how she's nearly dead and it turns into a big boost. If you look at the final damage value, what was supposed to do around 20000 damage instead did around 26600 damage, enough for the explosive kill. And this is of course not getting into the Arcana Health modifiers but honestly, I don't think that would have made any difference here. Now for the second clip at 37:19, there's not really much to explain. I already talked about the Time Arcana in the previous WIK and really, what it does here is simple enough. A time stop. So I guess I'll explain Dorothy's gimmick instead. As mentioned by a chat, yes, she plays poker. Her specials puts down different face cards and the versions (A, B, C, Super) changes what suit they are. When you put down 5 cards, depending on what your hand is, you get different attacks. In the clip, that was a 4-of-a-kind Ace. So the exact process is that she puts down j.214A, j.214B, and j.214C consecutively for 3 aces. A 214X (I forgot which version that is) to have a 4th card and finishes with j.214A+B for the final ace card. She also dashes into the opponent to push them along the attack trajectory for more damage which I find oddly hilarious. So yeah, hopefully this helped somebody better understand what happened in those clips.

I usually read how Sajam is leading chat in order to influence my bet, this is devastating for me

Sajam brought down to the height of man. I love it.

"You just vote on the character that has the least clothing and say 'I'm fine here'." Welcome to SaltyBet, Sajam, Always Bet Waifu. And Sword.

Now Sajam knows what he puts chat through in the second half. Just a continuous series of "Oh no"'s.

27:01 I saw the jump in fierce and knew that was going to be an infinite. For some reason in Double Dragon if you manage to land combo two fierce attacks back to back it destroys the hitstun scaling and you just get an infinite. Cause reasons.

In this Will it Kill, ye tarnished no longer have the guidance of grace... Are future episodes gonna keep this twist and/or have different twists? This was actually so fun, great show guys

In the kyanta clip, the second I saw the kusoge divekick I knew it would kill, Capcom couldnt balance divekicks for 20 years, kyanta wont either.

It's pretty humorous to see that when Sajam isn't gaslighting chat into voting one way or the other the voting tends to be much more evenly split.🤔

Hello, I'm the guy who sent in the Bang clip. I am honored to receive the coveted "Damn, he's good." It's funny, I actually did send in another combo which ends the same way and doesn't kill, but it doesn't look as good and it was technically unoptimal so I made sure to put that in the notes. Also, Sengoku Basara is a sick game and its a shame it got no love outside of Japan. Dynasty Warriors gets all the notoriety but it pales in comparison. Let me tell you, there is a character whose gimmick is special cancels and he can special cancel his DEATH ANIMATION! Music is pretty great too.

this WIK was great, it's way more fun to have Sajam getting smoked with us than when he just watches us getting smoked i went 13-8 i love it here

10:20, I love that WIK has become an FGC meme.

This is a lot more fun when Sajam doesn't know what's about to happen.

This started as will it kill, second half turned into “will sajam die”

Excellent format idea. Watching live was super fun. Also enjoyed the JoJo clips a lot. Also like that Sengoku Basara half-time clip, and it's given me an idea... My losses were only slightly higher than my wins, but I lost over a hundred thousand points. I became a rock thrower in the beginning and died.

To be honest, this is actually the very first Will It Kill i've seen (just found out this series). I began going backwards and watching the previous entries, and i gotta say, it's a lot more enjoyable when you don't know the clips/results and you bet together with the chat. I don't really know why, but it's more entertaining.

Being featured in this show with that Ladiva clip makes me incredibly happy. The reactions are just the icing on the cake as well! That being said, I would've gone poor in this episode of WIK...

I really enjoy the new layout. Having Sajam weigh in with his considerable knowledge of fighting game mechanics and able to drop commentary and reacting adds a whole new layer to one of the things I look most forward to at the end of each month. Even if I can never catch em live.

When blue Mary started with the over head I knew she was alive lol. Pro tip; grounded over heads scale harder

I like the new twist, but i think it should stay a rare thing, like every other/ every third WIK. I feel like the taunting and laughing at the chat is part of what gives the show its character

More JJBA please. The relaxed attitude characters have during their combos is too good.

22:30 yeah he was in level 3 drill meter, so he can get shit like that but if the opponent just barriers it's actually kinda hard to deal damage

31:26 Sajam with the Dragon Ball weighted clothing logic

Just have a will it kill segment at combo breaker

I'll be honest, the part during halftime where the dog got kicked had me dying. I've never seen that in a fighting game before.

Video: *pauses* Sajam: oh good lord!

No joke, everything that happens in Yakuza games, no matter if its side content, or the main story, is the wildest shit. You gotta play Yakuza 0 at some point Sajam.

Chat knew that they could not change anything so instead of reflecting on their betting addiction they made sajam lose his own sajam bucks!

Holy crap, that's me at 38:02! First Will It Kill I went to live and it went about as I expected. First half bodied me, but I got the runback during the second half. I'm like a God when it comes to the Kusoge, lmao. Anyhow, the moral of the story is that if you don't have Sajam's guidance, always go all in on rock at the end of the show. Throw away your fears and follow your instincts, that's how you win.

Cool to see All Star Battle getting shown more in these videos

Btw, the lead game designer of Streets of Fury was also the lead game designer of Streets of Rage 4

That was a really a fun twist! Amazing show as always!

Can't believe my scrambly ass Yuel combo made it on Will it Kill, absolutely crazy. For those wondering, yes the combo is suboptimal, and it *probably* would have killed if I had done one less auto combo hit after the EX rush, something I didn't realize when submitting it. This clip is a couple of months old and I was just starting out back then, and didn't really know what I was doing. But the commentary was just too good not to send it in. Glad I made so many people lose channel points tho.

I miss Sajam taunting us

Holy shit. Being one of the few subscribers of the streamer from the last clip saved me. I was going to vote the contrary to Sajam but I knew that the streamer had been playing Phantom Breaker almost every day for the last month and I couldn't bring myself to vote against them.

Man, I might've done worse than average, but I feel like seeing things from a different point of view is going to increase my winrate in the long run. This was incredibly illuminating, almost as if this entire channel has been about teaching people fighting games all along!

I have an excel sheet of ever WIK from this year so far, and at the end of the year I'll crunch the numbers to figure out just how crippling my gambling addiction is to the channel point economy

12-9 , loved how the host didn't know the results, making it much more interesting! On others you can read his tonal inflections and his body language, but here you have no idea, because HE has no idea!

This is one of the finest series on the internet. The twist is also hilarious.

This already was the best show on Twitch, and you participating like this made it even better! Please keep doing it 😄

From the halftime show on I felt like I was sent to fighting game Narnia. I didnt know wtf was going on, but it had me in tears. Funniest show yet imo

Thank you for continuing to do this show and making it hilariously brutal and interesting every time

i feel like since jojo asb is getting a remaster we'll be getting a lot more jojo clips soon. I'm looking forward to this bright future

maybe the best will it kill of all time. great twist, was so much fun to play along.

Really loved the shakeup in the formula for the show! Definitely wouldn't mind seeing more of that in the future. Went 14-7 going along with the video here, since I couldn't make it live. Best score I've managed so far!

16:14. Fantastic edit and a twist

I love the all star battle clips I can’t wait to see more when r comes out

Sajam not knowing the clips beforehand makes it a little more engaging on the RU-vid side I feel

9:20 the two can be translated to "untouchable" and "good" from top to bottom

Sorry about the window sajam but I just had to get that thumb drive to you I gladly pay for the window but use the clip 😂

After like 20 of these I had started to try to get a read on Sajam more than the actual clip. Don't know how hard it is to get things set up this way, but I enjoy the twist!

I prefer this format. Your reactions are way funnier.

Hoping to see Tatsunoko vs. Capcom one day in WIK

This was super good and I'd love to see will it kill done like this again in the future!

So glad this was my first live WiK. Went 12-9 and doubled my points.

Oh boy here we go again

Please do this format again some other time, this was simply amazing

11/10. An amazing show, that second half was amazing

I really liked the new format/twist, idk what you guys are planning to do in the future but I think this is a more fun version of WIK

That Yakuza clip, I didn't expect murder all of a sudden

Thank you Infil and Moss!

I liked the edited pause and rewind but I will admit I missed the banter between you and chat as a result of you having seen the clip already fucking with chat is too funny

Was a blast live!

Big fan

Please make this the format of the show going forward. Freaking hilarious. Regardless, keep up the fantastic work.

The bang nail to let him keep going after the super was so sick, what the hell

ok i liked today´s twist. keep it coming. ♥

Love the show Sajam! Will watch it later, but already liked and commented to boost the algorithm!

Yknow I like how in these "Will it Kill" clips on GBFV, nobody notices that the opponent is already dead based on how the music changes in a characters cinematic super.

This format was amazing. I was also really happy to see my Streets of Fury EX clip getting into the show! Now I only need to actually get good in guessing WiK, I got destroyed.

Oh my god can you please do more of these. I love this show to death as it is but somehow it’s even MORE fun when you don’t even know what’s going on haha

19:03 “I’m gettin fuckin smoked” that chatter is a vibe

YO, I LOVE THAT I LEFT A COMMENT NOT TOO LONG AGO ABOUT SAJAM PLAYING ALONGSIDE US AND THE FIRST MINUTE AND A HALF, MY WISH CAME TRUE I'm pogging

Damn what a good show. Had a bad start with 4 wrong guesses at the start and brought it back with a 15-7 record at the end. Definitely want another Sajam guesses with us again.

To explain the Arcana Heart 3 clip, that level 3 super already does a lot of damage, and she's also using the Sin Arcana which makes you do more damage the lower your health is, plus Lieselotte has low health anyway

best will it kill so far, I acc watched the whole thing! hope all of them from now on have reverse majas guessing too

My favorite WIK so far, this was so dope

9 - 12 I've never been so confident and so wrong at the same time great show

Love the clip rewind after voting, and that we how it ends after no.

That Sajam laughs need to be a meme (on GBVS)

Honestly, this is the best format for this show.

“Man I knew that whole time, chat you guys are lost” This man is a legend

Soljam finally got to experience the very visceral feeling of "It could kill from THIS?"

13:03 Man, I forgot how good "Our Blood Boils" is, its probably my favorite Sigma theme out of all of them...Well, 8 is up there too. Anyway, great show as always Sajam.

Woo! 14 wins, 7 losses! Woo This was super fun and having you join in the bets made it even better. Wouldn't mind more will it kills like this. Love this series either way tho.

it's so much more fun when sajam has no fucken idea and is giving us genuine reactions, i live for this content

This is one of the most enjoyable WIKs to watch

you should do this with a live audience as a game show with contestants

Take a shot every time Sajam reminds us he’s never seen these clips 😂

This was very fun! I think it's important for Sajam to know what's going on in the halftime clips so he can explain it to us xD

I love this so much, I was like 3-11 and finished 10-11 thank you shenanigans

That skullgirls clip would killed if he hadn’t styled on u with the lv5, lv1, lv1 lv3 with bella, your ass was grass.

The matrix is acting up again. I was literally thinking about the football interview in your thumbnail for the first time in friggen years Then the very... Next... Day... This video drops

Just watned to drop a comment and say that I thought it was actually way more fun having Jamjam blind to the clips as well, I really hope this is the future of Will It Kill

WOOHOO! Will it Kill! I looked at my calendar this morning saw it was the first of May and said YESSSS!
