I did so and it was probably one of the best games I've ever played in my whole life, inspiring me to even write fanfics and stories later on.

    If you want unexpected and unhinged, you REALLY need to cover Tongue Of The Fatman (AKA Slaughter Sport) someday.

      @mikesweet9991 11 месяцев назад +6

      For over a year I commented "fatman" on every Worst Fighting Game and never got so much as a nod. I'd imagine he's against covering it because while the gameplay and overall fun to be had with it is COMPLETELY nonexistent, you can't deny that it had some of the most striking presentation and unique mechanics of anything released around the time, not to mention the absolute insanity that is the character roster or setting.
      Is it good? Under no circumstances. But is it bad enough to land here? The more episodes he's come to release, the more I lean towards nah, it's fine.

      Sculptor's Cut (the finished edition, the OG 63 1/3 was an unfinished beta squeezed out, The Cutting Room Floor found a lot of stuff that turns up in the upgraded re-release after) has higher... erm, definition I guess. Also has more frames of animation and extras (though it ALSO had stuff cut from it).

  • @max-d8105
    @max-d8105 11 месяцев назад +4

    If you were a 2D fighting game fan, but you didn't have a PSX, saturn, or dreamcast, this was the best you could hope for. Like it was mentioned briefly in one of the reviews in the video, the N64 did not have a massive fighting game library, especially something that plays similar to a Street Fighter game. This game was one of few ways to get my 2D fg fix without having to borrow my brother's playstation.
    Some more stuff to note about the combat:
    - The side switch animations were really slow, and you were vulnerable while your character was turning around. That led to a couple of unblockable crossups. A big one was Frosty's "ICE SMASH!" move that the AI did a lot. To add to that, in some instances your character would automatically parry crossups if they hit at a certain point. It was a mess.
    - You were also vulnerable on wakeup. If there was a projectile on the screen and it hit you the moment you got up, you couldn't block it.
    - Like KI, the auto combos also had a combo breaker.
    - Characters could attack out of blockstun in the air.
    - Doing a 2-in-1 would make moves come out faster. For example Hougan had a chicken projectile with a lot of startup, but buffering it after a jab would make it come out almost instantly.
    - Hitting the L or R button lets you sidestep, which transitioned to slowly rotating the X-axis sideways to get out of the corner or move toward a stage transition. You could also side step projectiles.
    - Stage transitions could trigger even on block if you were close enough, and sometimes you didn't even have to be close. It was funny seeing a character slide 6 feet into a stage transition after blocking a move.
    - 63 1/3 had a cheat menu you could use, which did some silly stuff like change the size of the characters and move the camera around. One code to note is a stage select code, which let you pick whatever stage you wanted outside of 2-player mode. You could access stages that aren't associated with any character in the roster, such as a raft stage and a giant toilet bowl.
    - Sculptor's Cut removed the side stepping, and made L and R button back dashes. Also in the previous game, the collision on walls were more slippery, so sometimes characters would slide along the walls if they were at a diagonal. SC made wall collision more rigid, so it led to a lot of infinite combos if the opponent got hit while airborne in the corner.
    - SC also added dialogue for the last boss character in arcade mode, and win quotes from the CPU character if you lost.
    - Lady Liberty had actual tick throws and combo throws. She could command grab opponents out of hit or blockstun.
    - For some reason Boogerman's projectile had to be parried low.
    - High Five was unfinished and didn't have a claytalitiy.

    Yeah with sculptor's cut, they switched to a more traditional street fighter style with normal > special > super combos. That's...a really huge change in gameplay but yeah, I tried it and I was like, I'll take the KI attempt over their Street Fighter 'balanced' attempt. But I remember I'd let games sit on their title screen and I could have sworn the character motivations (in a very similar way to the endings) are displayed after you wait long enough. Not really a good intro to the story but, it is there I believe.

    I grew up with clay fighter: 63 1/3, unfortunately for me, I actually thought it was great when I was a kid and would routinely make my friends and cousins fight me in it to prove who was better at fighting games. I'd then subsequently low kick to build meter and then spam Laffy's gun special from full screen., nobody ever beat me with that tactic. The game is probably terrible but for me, it was nostalgic watching this video, especially that "Little girly combo" line, which I never realized was Castellaneta until today.

    @hackerx7329 11 месяцев назад +7

    I do wonder if the source materials for the Clayfighters were preserved and survived anywhere. It would be delightful to see remastered versions with all the filmed frames of animation used instead of just the selected ones they decided they had space for and hopefully higher quality audio than what they compressed it down to for the carts (assuming they bothered to record it in a higher quality in the first place) and most definitely textures that aren't compressed to oblivion because they didn't want to pay extra for more ROM storage.
    They were never the pinnacle of fighting games that won awards but they weren't supposed to be. Nobody watches movies like Airplane! or The Naked Gun for the deep engaging story lines or the amazing award winning cinematography. You judge them based on what they are and their humor in what they are parodying. If you aren't in the frame of mind for that kind of humor you aren't going to like it anymore that a person reviewing a parody movie as if it were a serious movie.

    I like the IDEA of Clayfighter a lot, I think it has a really funny and creative (and uniquely American Gen X) sensibility, and I like all the cultural references. But yeah, the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Some sort of reboot would be good, but I'd also just like to see 63 1/13 remade in a more competent way.

CF2, a couple years later, was just...never checked out. My dad noticed on the receipt that it wasn't there and said, "Well, merry christmas. They gave you that game."
