History Main / IdiosyncraticComboLevels

This is a subtrope of AwesomenessMeter, where the reward is a different name for the length of your combo, which is generally specific and special to the game itself. May accompany a KillStreak, often being shouted at maximum volume by the game's LargeHamAnnouncer.

* In ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Puzzle League'', When you combo the destruction of same color blocks, the Pokemon you've chosen will say some part of their name, eventually being echoed if you do good enough (five or more combos). The human character you've chosen will say various things as well if you do two or more chains, even being echoed as well if you do good enough (five or more chains).

* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' has at least 250 exclamations, with the exclamation changing depending on the number of hits. Notable ones include "Lucky" (7 hits), "[[ThirteenIsUnlucky Unfortunate]]" (13 hits), "[[JailBaitWait Barely Legal]]" (18 hits), "[[Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy Meaningful]]" (42 hits), "[[Film/BillAndTed Dude]]" (69 hits) and "[[VideoGame/KillerInstinct Ultra]]" (80 hits). The list goes all the way to 999 hits, at which point it says "You Can Stop Now".

This is a subtrope of AwesomenessMeter, where the reward is a different name for the length of your combo, which is generally specific and special to the game itself. KillStreak could also be related in a similar way.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Capcom Vs|Whatever}}.'' games. Normal names are used for small combos, such as "Yes, Good, Great". Higher combos and more recent terms up the ante with words like "Wonderful, VideoGame/{{Viewtiful|Joe}}, Galactic, Cosmic, etc." Often, at least one combo level is named for the company Capcom is picking fights with (such as {{Creator/Marvel|Comics}}ous or ''"Creator/{{Tatsun|okoProduction}}[[PerfectlyCromulentWord ical]]"'').

* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosCrusade'': Like the VideoGame/CapcomVsWhatever fighting games, one level references the game itself and one level references the series. In order: Nice, Good, Very Good, Great, Excellent, Super, Awesome, Amazing, Beautiful, Crazy, Fantastic, Outstanding, Manly, Incredible, Monster, Unstoppable, Legendary, Godlike, Crusader, Smashing. Combos can go up to 99, but the Smashing level is used for all combos larger than 22.

* ''VideoGame/{{Nexuiz}}'': Triple kill![[note]][[CaptainObvious 3 kills]][[/note]] Rage![[note]]5 kills[[/note]] Massacre![[note]]10 kills[[/note]] MAYHEM![[note]]15 kills.[[/note]] BERSERKER![[note]]20 kills[[/note]] '''CARNAGE!'''[[note]]25 kills[[/note]] '''ARMAGEDDON!!!'''[[note]]30 kills[[/note]]

** Examples from ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', in order: "Yes", "Cool", "Good", "Great", "[[SurferDude Dude!]]", "Sweet", "Awesome", "Wonderful", "VideoGame/{{Viewtiful|Joe}}", "Excellent", "[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Stylish]]", "Franchise/{{Fantastic|Four}}", "[[Franchise/SpiderMan Amazing]]" "[[TheIncredibleHulk Incredible]]", "[[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Mighty]]", "Marvelous", "[[ComicBook/UncannyXMen Uncanny]]", "[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Crazy]]", "ComicBook/{{Galact|us}}ic" and (whew!) "[[TheJuggernaut Unstoppable]]".

* Parodied to the utmost extreme in a ''SunsetOverdrive'' mission called TastesLikeChicken regarding [[ItMakesSenseInContext barbecuing gathering pigeon flocks with button-activated flamethrower traps in order to heal an ailing LARP King]]. [[LargeHamAnnouncer The Announcer]] starts with "Pigeon Combo", making it up to "[[MundaneMadeawesome Holy Mega Ultra Pigeon Combo]]", [[SerialEscalation then gets so ludicrous that it blows most]] [[CapcomSequelStagnation Street Fighter names]] completely out of the water:

** ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry5'' has "Dismal!", "Crazy!", "Badass!", "Apocalyptic!", "Ssavage!", "Sick Skills!" and "Smokin' Sexy Style!"

** ''II'' has "Vicious", "Sadistic", "Savage", "Inhuman", "Bloodthirsty", "Relentless", "Merciless", "Pitiless", "Monstrous", "Tyrannical", "Immortal", "Ferocious", "Godly", "Omnipotent", "Olympic", "All-Powerful", "Herculean", "Supreme", "Unearthly" and "Impossible". Once you start getting into the really ridiculous combos (starting at 100,000 hits), you get things like "Keep Going!", "More, more, more!", "Not bad for a Mortal!", "The Mystery is Unfolding!", "More Hits! More Hents!", "Your destiny is Awaits!", "Your fate is Untraveling!", "Almost There!", "The secret is Neare!" and finally "www.islandofrhodes.org". And yes, all of them are written exactly like that.

** ''III'' has the same combo names, only that the website link is changed to "www.spartansstandtall.com".

** ''VideoGame/DmCDevilMayCry'' has "Dirty!", "Cruel!", "Brutal!", "Anarchic!", "Savage!", "S[=S=]adistic!!", and "SS[=S=]ensational!!!".

* Tennis has a rather unusual scoring system; Zero is called "Love", the first point is 15, the second 30 and the third, 40. A score of 40-40 is called deuce.

** Examples from ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'', in order: "Yes", "Cool", "Good", "Great", "[[SurferDude Dude!]]", "Sweet", "Awesome", "Wonderful", "VideoGame/{{Viewtiful|Joe}}", "Excellent", "[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Stylish]]", "Franchise/{{Fantastic|Four}}", "[[Franchise/{{Spider-Man}} Amazing]]" "[[TheIncredibleHulk Incredible]]", "[[Comicbook/TheMightyThor Mighty]]", "Marvelous", "[[ComicBook/UncannyXMen Uncanny]]", "[[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Crazy]]", "ComicBook/{{Galact|us}}ic" and (whew!) "[[TheJuggernaut Unstoppable]]".

* ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure2'' awards you bonus points for the number of enemies you kill in a combo. As Sonic/Shadow, this means number of enemies you kill without touching the ground. As Tails/Eggman, this means number of enemies you kill with one round of seeker shots. As Knuckles/Rouge, how quickly you find each Emerald Shard (or key or Chaos Emerald) and how few hints you use (the Perfect bonus is rewarded for finding the Emerald fast using no hints). The number of bonus points you get increases as you kill more enemies, with each combo being complemented by a ranking. The ranks are - "Good!" (100), "Nice!" (200), "Great!" (300), "Jammin'!" (400), "Cool!" (500), "Tight!" (800), "Awesome!" (1000), "Extreme!" (1500) and "Perfect!" (2000). Most of them are meant to keep with the "'tude" that Sonic has. Sonic and Shadow occasionally get these for just doing tricks or generally cool stuff in a level as well.
