Fighting games where every hit is deadly

What role can one-hit kill fighting games play in the genre? Let’s have a look. 00:00 intro 01:31 First Cut 03:16 One Strike 05:03 Sclash I recorded most of the footage, but took the Bushido Blade clips from: - Bushido Blade Part 1 [Tatsumi] (No Commentary) by OLOGY - Friday Night Fisticuffs - Bushido Blade (1 & 2) by Super Best Friends Play RIP the mighty pig.
