ClayFighter 63 1/3 is a bizarre, chaotic, and shockingly fun mess of a fighting game. Its claymation fighters are ridiculous, the roster is packed with wacky parodies, and the combos are simple yet satisfying. While it suffers from some rough edges (like awkward controls and a lack of polish), it offers a goofy fighting experience with plenty of charm. For its nostalgic value and pure "so bad, it's good" energy, ClayFighter 63 1/3 is a cult classic worth revisiting.

Hey this is just a shittier, grosser Killer Instinct!

One thing I will give this game, is that the combo system is surprisingly lenient. Every time that I thought "that was it I can't keep going", it turned out that I could keep going, and it doesn't have crazy execution or anything like that, it's very free flow and casual friendly. You can just chain things. It's not a deep game but most of my enjoyment of it came from this.

It's... fine, but hell no I'm not playing it again as I would have to endure the shit:

-So, the framerate suffers the more you land hits, because of the million particles that fly out of every character when they get hit. Isn't that great?

-It also looks teeeerrible. The 3d backgrounds look bad and the 2d sprites clash with them. The character animations look choppy. The menus are very cheap looking and really as a whole the game just looks low quality.

-Then there's the fecalfunny. Characters are constantly talking, making terrible quips or painful jokes. I found most of it annoying even if the voice acting was actually great.


If you'd like to play as naked santa or capt booger, sure go ahead you freak.

I mean... it's not GOOD, but I think it could be worse.

Granted, I'm not, like... a master of fighting games. I don't play a whole ton of them, so maybe this game is worse than I feel like it is. But I like it's charm, visuals are a mixed bag, but man, those clay character designs. SO good.

I mean... when they're not incredibly racist.

But hey, maybe Sumo Santa balances it back out. Could be better, could be worse.

clayfighter more like..... gay fighter

This game is just a parody like the other clayfighter games I think the first one on snes was more popular though.

The Clayfighter series are parody games that supposedly make fun of other fighting games. Previous entries made fun of Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, while this one tackles Killer Instinct. When I think of a parody fighting game, it brings up the idea of a creative and funny game that has over-the-top moves that is enjoyable but likely quite simple. Clayfighter 63⅓ is none of those things.

Clayfighter aims for a claymation style, but this is completely spoiled by the very low quality sprites and extremely poor animation. On top of that, none of the characters were anything I wanted to play with, being a mixture of generic things, things 6 year olds find “gross” (fat, snot) and racist caricatures. Oh, and Earthworm Jim. Every character also has extremely annoying voice clips, a complete waste of the talent they hired (which includes legends like Frank Welker, Tress MacNeille, Jim Cummings, Rob Paulsen and Dan Castellaneta).

The arenas are slightly more interesting than fighting games. They’re not as deep as Mace: The Dark Age, but you can hit your opponent through doors and reach other arenas. Unfortunately, the camera is terrible and you can end up fighting behind scenery. The fighting itself is also really dull, being incredibly slow and clunky, with button mashing working very well.

The game is also very light on content, with just one mode of fighting random opponents (with no attempt of putting it inside a story) and…options. No practice or additional modes and not very many options. It’s an atrocious game devoid of anything fun or amusing.
