What's New?:
-Added all combo breakers
-Added a lot of Claytalities
-Pretty much everything from NP On-Line
Introduction:
Well, I've been playing for sometime now. I've almost go the combo system
down. That should be on my next update. I'll also have all the moves and
stuff that you guys have been sending me. I just need to confirm all of them
and credit will be given. Keep sending them in. Pretty soon we'll known
everything about this game.
Still Unknown:
-Some special and super moves
-Some Insane Combos
-Are there any stage Clayatalities?
-How many Claytalities per character?
-Combo Breaker requirements
Notes Of Interest:
-After logging in several hours of play time, my initial impressions of the
combo system may be changing. Instead of a standard combo system for all
of the combatants, there seems to be a few variations between some of the
fighters. For now, I'm leaving the Combo Theory section as it is, however,
after I've had the chance to become more familiar with it, you may see that
section changing quite a bit in the next few updates.
-Unfortunately for people who enjoy finding codes, moves, Claytalities, etc.,
it would appear that the Insane Combos are all done with the same button and
joystick combinations. However, I have done two Insane combos with different
motions using Bad Mr. Frosty. There were both the same combo, so I'll have
to research this more.
-Kung Pow's taunt is much longer than any of the other character's taunts. I
am looking into the possibility of a taunt doing more than just boasting to
your opponent. I can't see why anyone would do Kung Pow's taunt unless the
match was over. It takes around ten seconds to fully complete, leaving you
wide open.
-Interplay was unable to put in the missing characters because of space
limitations and Nintnedo. Here is the e-mail I recieved from Interplay:
Hello Bryan,
Thanks for your interest in Interplay Productions.
Unfortunately, Hobocop was removed because Nintendo would not allow the
character in the game. The others Zappa Yow Yow, Lady Liberty, High Five,
and Lockjaw were removed from the game for space / balance issues.
I am sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Overheads:
Every character has some sort of overhead attack. These moves will hit an
opponent when he or she is blocking low. Be careful when executing these.
Most are very slow and can be seen from a mile away.
Super Moves:
Every character has multiple super moves to accompany their regular and
special moves. Super moves, in most cases, are a chain of regular moves
that do a fairly good amount of damage. Some super moves also come in the
form of a massive throw, or a single damaging hit.
Combo Theory:
The combos in Clay Fighter 63 1/3 are very similar in nature to Killer
Instinct combos. They all start will an opener, and are followed by an
auto-double. Then you can add either a linker, auto-linker, or extra hit.
It is possible to add up to three extra hits anywhere in the combo by
tapping WP or WK up to three times. This is best used after an auto-double
or auto linker. You can repeat this cycle until your opponent is dead unless
he or she does a combo breaker. To end a combo you can do a super move,
special move, or a regular hit.
An opener is any special move that starts a combo. Any moves that knock your
opponent down cannot be used as openers. All combo openers can be followed
by an auto-double. You can also do a jump kick or jump punch to start a
combo. Each characters combo openers can be found in the Character Moves
section of this strategy guide.
Auto-doubles are moves in combos that give you two hits for the price of one.
They can only be done by pressing FP or FK after any linker or opener move.
Auto-doubles are a very important part of combos, and without them you won't
be able to get more than a few hits out of your combos.
A linker move is very similar to an opener. They are special moves that link
a combo together after an auto-double, extra hit, or auto-linker. You'll
find that nearly all openers can also be used as linkers. Each characters
combo linkers can be found in the Character Moves section of this strategy
guide.
Auto-linkers ar every similar to auto-doubles. When done, your fighter will
do a string of three to five hits that will increase the length of a combo.
These moves can only be done in combos and are best used after an auto-double.
Below is how a standard combo should look. All combos will vary, but this basic
structure will help you form your own custom combos:
Opener -- Auto-Double -- Linker -- Auto-Double -- Auto-Linker -- Ender
Note: You can repeat the auto-double to auto-linker portion as many times as
you want. It is also possible to replace an auto-linker with a regular linker,
but auto-linkers give you more hits.
*You can add an extra hit after any move in a combo. However, it is impossible
to do an auto-double after an extra hit. To extend your combo to it's highest
potential, use extra hits only after auto-doubles or before an ender.
Here is a listing of all the combo names and their corresponding number of hits:
3 hits-Itty Bitty Combo
4 hits-Lousy Combo
5 hits-Lame Combo
6 hits-Weak Combo
7 hits-Dumb Combo
8 hits-Little Girlie Combo
9-12 hits-Cheesy Combo
13-15 hits-Triple Brown Betty Combo
16-18 hits-Queen Combo
19-29 hits-Ludicrous Combo
30-and up-Insane Combo
An Insane Combo is very similar to an Ultra Combo from Killer Instinct. These
can only be done when your opponents second energy bar is red. Insane Combos
are between 170 and 500 hits, but do not kill your opponent. Unlike KI, you
can still perform a Claytality after doing an Insane Combo. Each characters
Insane Combo can be found in the Character Moves section of this strategy
guide.
Claytalities:
Claytalities are how each Clay Fighter finishes off his or her opponent.
After you've taken off both of your opponents energy bars, he or she will
stop fighting and hunch over awaiting your last move. You will have about
five or six seconds to input a combination of buttons, joystick
movements or both, which (if done correctly) will cause your Clay Fighter to
eliminate your opponents life force in some way, shape or form. So far, I've
found up to four Claytalities for one character. This may mean that each
fighter has at least four. There is also a possibility of stage Claytalities.
Interplay informed us prior to the games release that it was possible to
knock you foe into the toilet stage background. It is currently unkown
whether or not this has changed. Each characters Claytalities can be found
in the Character Moves section of this strategy guide.
Taunts:
Every character in Clay Fighter 63 1/3 has a taunt that can be anytime
during the match, and as many times as you like. Some taunts will hit your
opponent, others take several seconds to complete. All character taunts are
done by pressing L, R, and A at the same time.
Character Moves:
Note: To use a second color, press Down C instead of A when selecting your
character.
