it's funny to think he started out with a reputation as the über nerd who knows all the frame data in place of swag. I guess it goes to show that charisma can come out with training.
27:50 "That guy sounds like he knows what he's talking about, and we don't like that here" Excellent crowdwork, Sajam - you did a great job doing this segment live.
The first clip is a legend that will stand the test of time. "I'm hispanic, it's gonna kill" is truly the most powerful thing a human has ever said live on camera, and on this show.
As a simple Street Fighter player, I’ve always seen KOF as the most anime of the “traditional” 2D fighters, not in art style but just that crazy things are happening
@@Sergio-wc1wn as an outsider the first one had feeling of a Vs game combo, where you're halfway through and thinking "he's just never gonna stop hitting him huh". maybe it's from playing ggst and being used to people exploding in a 6 hit combo that that feels less crazy to me
The cameraman was incredible, the shots were so smooth, everything looked great, there was even some comedic timing with it. Man truly shoutouts to the whole production this looked incredible. Also really funny to see such a high definition camera, professional lighting and a roaring crowd just for it to cut to full screen BOKO bar
@@meljXD2was it not a joke? I thought Sajan did a bit a while back about how people legitimately mix him up with other white guys with only a barely passing similarity, and this was just playing that up
"I'm the Vegeta in this clip. It's gonna kill". Dude's lucky the mods can't ban him in real life. He's probably on his way home to tell his mom the spoilers to Breaking Bad halfway through the show.
I was the one with the "How full is the BOKO BAR?" sign! Glad the audio got fixed! EDIT: Also the last clip gets me every time oh my God. I can't even remember the last time I laughed that hard.
That was, in fact, NOT a command grab. Just her standard back throw. BUT she immediately followed it up with her command grab super so you still cool, fellow command grab connoisseur.
Was in the crowd. Did pretty well if only because I had a read on the situation and knew that Sajam is a fiend, a scoundrel, and a ne'er-do-well. As such, he would have an T7 Akuma combo that doesn't kill in front of a live crowd, back to back Kyanta clips in front of a live crowd that didn't kill, but also would have to end on rock because not doing so would have caused riots, causing the event to be shut down
I don't recall if this was ever actually explained in a prior WIK but in "Nitroplus Blasterz", all resources reset every round. Meter, assist gauges, burst, stuff on screen, all of it. Probably to counterbalance that, meter gain in general is on the higher end. But there are other ways to gain meter as well. Being in the burst state gives passive meter gain for instance and the Aoi/cellphone girl/seizure assist (42:06) gives both players +1 meter. So as a result, you are often flooded with meter and have little reason to hold onto it...leading into a lot of instances of big combos and damage. Kind of makes it a perfect match for WIll It Kill and probably why it shows up so often. 37:35 - "They're so small, they can't hit that hard." The same can't be said about the mech.
Is anyone going to talk about the fact that this man stood here, face to face with an entire crowd, and had the BALLS, the NERVE to show us TWO kianta clips that DIDN'T KILL?
"have you played this game before? what makes you so confident?" "i havent played KOF before, but KOF clips never kill" "ok, how about you?" "im hispanic, its gonna kill." (proceeds to kill) what a perfect way to introduce the crowd to will it kill
Jiyuna dude was indeed right, cause that Kyanta clip did not kill, Sajam was just salty they revealed his real identity plus revealing it will not kill
Bro, I've been performing my whole life. My family and friend group is full of musicians, actors, and artists. Lemme tell ya, Sajam is a natural entertainer. He could emcee any event and it would be engaging.
I gotta say between this, the last episode where you played along with us, and the Tasty Steve + Yipes episode before that, 2023 has been a killer year for WiK.
Being sat front row to watch this live was absolutely one of my favorite things I did at this event! Shoutouts to my friend on the Infinite World explanation and getting stopped until after the clip to explain himself.
Be me: Attend Combo Breaker Also me: Forgets that WiK is on the final Friday of every month and that it's done live during events Can't believe I missed this live, ffs. Love ya Sajam.
It's amazing to see how far this show has come. Granted, i know it was a thing too back in the day but i mean this version of the show that you started running on your channel and just kept growing. Good stuff! Love the show! Maybe one day i'll participate in person too! Have a good one!
Can you imagine a college auditorium class where a teacher uses occasional "will it kill" clips as bonus points and you vote with a clicker? That'd be wild.
Can't begin to describe how elated I was to see my Infinite World clip get featured, can't believe the 1st time I get my clip on WiK is in Combo Breaker
This was absolutely incredible! From the crowd, to the production, to the cameraman to the main host himself just a great show all around man. You were clearly feeding off of the energy there and I LOVE that! Good on you all for pulling this off so smoothly!
This looks so fun to experience live! I think the next evolution of WIK should involve game devs throwing rocks. Fingers crossed we'll see some in the crowd at EVO!
First Nitroplus clip: - 3 bars - Burst available - Carol and Spica assist ready to go One look and you can tell that Saya was about to be doused in liquid nitrogen and blasted with a shotgun. You see Carol or Dragon assist and you know whoever picked them wants their opponent in one spot for like 4 seconds to be ready for the real big damage. Second Nitroplus clip: I actually didn't expect that to play out the way it did, mainly because I'm not used to seeing people playing Ouka (sometimes I forget she even has a command grab) or using Aoi assist of all things. If I was there I would have ended up saying "It won't kill because it's Ouka." Probably should have seen it coming with the Another Blood assist though, those picks seem almost tailored to set up a Lethal Blaze. Also, what the heck are those assist choices from Ethica? I guess Sakura is good to keep the opponent on the defensive, but how the heck does Mugen help that?
The Sakura and Mugen pairing is pretty weird. Essentially, they are used in tandem mid-combo. Mugen's attack goes off, hitting the enemy. Sakura comes in and blocks the part that would hit you and then counterattacks, hitting the enemy again. As a bonus, Sakura's attack redirects the enemy downwards to bounce off the floor instead of getting blown to the other side of the stage, allowing Ethica to follow-up with whatever, usually Dead of the Dead into her Lethal Blaze. It does a decent amount of damage but it is gimmicky and I don't know if it's even remotely optimal. Funnily, I got a clip with that exact set up featured in a prior WIK if you want to see a full combo utilizing it. That WIK was titled "Ryu From Streets (Spooky Fighting Game Combos)".
i knew that the live Will it Kill was upon us, it was just a matter of time, so glad it happened, although i live across the world from where this event was and couldnt be a part of it among the crowd
The one clip that I was really confident was the Ultimax one. As a Labrys main, I know how Red Axe HURTS, and it was from a Fatal Counter against Akihiko, too.
Man, Schaumburg is stacked when it comes to conventions. Imagine being able to lose on WiK live AND get Portillo's for lunch. Sounds like the perfect day.
I'm the Shermie cosplayer who was wrong as fuck live on Twitch. Hey, at least I looked hot and my friend made cool signs. At the end of the day, I went 9-6, so at least I was in the positives. I'll have to use this spare money to get my friends back in houses due to losing it all on WIK live, thank you for your generosity mr Sajam sir for allowing me to gamble my SajamBux i wish you many italian beef sandwiches in the future
"I'm hispanic, it's gonna kill" is the only right answer for KoF willitkill.
This is actually legendary
The perfect way to start this, too.
hispanic wearing a Tottenham football jersey, hes more than qualified
"im hispanic, its gonna kill" is the hardest thing i have ever heard
And the fact that it *did* makes it go EVEN harder
i kneeled
immediately pulling out the credentials, i see
hardest read I've ever witnessed
He put his whole race on the line. Mad respect
Sajam's crowd work is excellent. So cool to see how the show has evolved, shoutout to the editors and clip compilers
it's funny to think he started out with a reputation as the über nerd who knows all the frame data in place of swag. I guess it goes to show that charisma can come out with training.
It's been amazing, and also so entertaining to watch these live shows 😄

Feels crazy to see the silly little rocks I drew displayed at a real huge major. Props to everyone involved, love the show bossman
lol that is pretty crazy to think about, they are professional grade rocks though
"She deserves it. She mixed me up once."
that KOF combo is the most fucked up thing I've ever seen in a non-anime game
As a simple Street Fighter player, I’ve always seen KOF as the most anime of the “traditional” 2D fighters, not in art style but just that crazy things are happening
That combo is incredibly hard to do so it makes sense why it is so fucked up. Also that character has some of the most damaging combos in the game

This was so good. Every single audience interaction was on point and hilarious
you can feel everyone there loves fighting games and love to banter around
The guy that just said "Kazuya Mishima" and it really was that simple? Absolute WIK gold.
ALRIGHTY THEN CHATROOM
I was the one with the "How full is the BOKO BAR?" sign! Glad the audio got fixed!

Amazing signs, great job getting those seats!
You’re a hero. 🫡
Sorry you got evicted
cool mask :p
For the first half of the show I really thought the sign said “How big is that Boko bar (handsome)?”
Ya know… as a meme reference 🫣
41:40 Hey that's me! I'm a command grab connoisseur, trust me

Boo, get outta here with your "facts" and "understanding how the game works"
_audible groan from the audience_
hey alright
i was looking into playing it a couple days ago, its a shame theres no playerbase anymore :(
Is anyone going to talk about the fact that this man stood here, face to face with an entire crowd, and had the BALLS, the NERVE to show us TWO kianta clips that DIDN'T KILL?
Pretty fucked up imo
I love it how the moment the first clip starts... and it's KoF - the whole crowd groans in anguish.
Clearly these folks are Will it kill enjoyers.
we learn so much about Sajam's sleeping habits in this video.

This was greatly enhance through audience participation.
45:55 based beyond belief
He took "eat the rich" quite literally.
I cannot believe that Sajams random clips show is now filling whole meeting halls lol So lit. Keep it up Sajam. Will it kill Evo gotta be lit af lol
Hearing the crowd’s reaction to the games when the clips started was amazing.
47:55 Little known secret, but that's how Raging Demon looks like with the lights on.
Love the energy and engagement. This live version was a lot of fun Brian_F.
Score 9/15

what a perfect way to introduce the crowd to will it kill
Thank you Sajam, Infil, and everybody else involved! What a fantastic show, I hope you get to do more in this format in the future!
Jiyuna dude was indeed right, cause that Kyanta clip did not kill, Sajam was just salty they revealed his real identity plus revealing it will not kill

it's crazy that this show is already so good on stream, but is somehow even better live. amazing work everyone!
French bread games never kill cause how you gonna beat someone to death with a baguette

Holy shit that first combo was insane. Not a big follower of KOF but damn, that made me intrigued.

There was that one time he did WiK with Yipes as a guest a while back...
