Universal Controls

+ - Super KO (requires full meter). If meter is not at 100, a taunt will come out instead.

Clay Slips

• During a heavy knockdown, holding OR will cause the player to tech roll in that direction. Clay Slips are invincible. Forward Clay Slips are best used when the opponent is right next to the player, since it will cause the player to switch directions.

- Backward Clay Slip

- Forward Clay Slip

Buffering

• While falling, input the directional input for a special move, and do a air attack. Once you land the special move will come out.

Charge Storing

• It's possible to store a charge special, when the game changes direction. This works best when throwing an opponent behind.

Charge Buffering

• It's possible to end moves Street Fighter style because the input buffer is large enough as Charge B,F,B + Attack or ending in D+B to charge both specials for some characters. This technique is Key for especially.

Charge Walking

• It's Possible to keep a charge theoretically Forever with this tactic Simply Get a charge first Then Walk forward for awhile And tap Back/down to keep your charge You can even stand in neutral for awhile then quickly tap back forward+punch

Playable Characters

Gameplay

HUD

1 Super Meter

Meter increases for each successful hit, once you reach 100 a super becomes available, these moves are often big damage combo extenders and build very quickly when heavy attacks hit.

2 Combo Counter

The combo meter shown in hitsparks only goes up to 9 before no longer being accurate, this meter will accurately reflect the number of consecutive hits you've performed.

Hit Spark / Combo Counter

• 
• The Hit spark acts as a combo counter. After 9 consecutive hits, the combo counter will turn red. It is not always accurate, especially when attacking from behind.

Game Mechanics

Super Meter

Super meter is tied directly to damage, moves that perform chip damage like special moves will build meter on block but normals will only build meter on hit. Meter builds quickly and a typical 12+ hit combo will usually build a full meter.

Damage Scaling

• Every character has exactly 96 health points.
• When a character gets to around 24 health points, most damage will start to scale to around 50%.

Trading

• All specials and normals will trade. Projectiles will beat out most specials. There are certain special moves that will destroy projectiles, such as; Seltzer, Yodel, and Spin.

Clashing

Any normal or special moves that have the same priority value will clash without taking damage. Clashing with special moves can allow for punishes that would normally not be possible.

Breakthrough

When a normal or special has higher priority compared to the other move it is clashing with. The higher priority move will breakthrough the other move and continue as if nothing happened.

Combo States

Aerial Clay

• When both characters are in the air, the attacker is able to chain normals from Light> Medium> Heavy. When a medium attack connects, the attacker is then able to cancel into a special. Heavy attacks will usually end the Aerial Clay by sending the opponent to the ground.

Hi-Striker

• After a Hi-Striker connects the opponent will be put into feeling flat mode and then launched straight into the air, allowing for an Aerial Clay.

Attack From Behind

• Stun last longer when attacking an opponent from behind, because of the extra frames it takes a player to turn around.

Cut in Half

• Certain special moves are able to cut characters in half. While cut in half, you are not able to move or be hit.

Feeling Flat

• Certain special moves and normals are able to flatten a character. While in a flatten state, it is possible to get hit or be grabbed.

Wall Bounce

• The opponent is sent flying into the wall where they will bounce off of to be set up for a combo.

Training Mode + ZERO System

Using the Training Mode option at the main menu will bring you to a two player match with regenerating health but there are additional features that can be unlocked using BizHawk 2.8 and the ZERO System training script.

Download the latest version: http://newchallenger.net/zero/UltraClayFighter2.0/TheZEROSystem-ClayfighterBootleg-1.0.lua

The ZERO System is a Lua file originally designed for Gundam Wing Endless Duel modified to show hitboxes for Ultra Clayfighter in the Bizhawk emulator frontend. To use it, drag the Lua file into the BizHawk window when Ultra Clayfighter is loaded.

By default, The ZERO System will display hitboxes, damage dealt while an opponent is being hit and cannot block, and display an easy-to-see combo counter below the lifebars. Two additional features, HP recovery and input display, are also available but disabled by default. In order to change which options are enabled, pause the game during a match as you would normally (by pressing start when no one is in hitpause) during a match.

Recover HP

When enabled, HP will no longer drop below 1. When a combo has ended, a player not at full life will regenerate health at a rate of 1 per 1/60th of a second.

Hitboxes

Displays player hitboxes. Each box corresponds to a different property of that box:

• Blue: Hurtbox. When this box makes contact with an attack box, the player gets hit.
• Black: Block box. When this box makes contact with an attack box, the player enters a blockstun state.
• Red: Attack box. Standard attack with no special properties.
• Orange: Attack box. When hitting a hurtbox, the opponent enters a flatten state.
• Yellow: Attack box. When hitting a hurtbox, the opponent enters a launch state.
• Purple: Attack box. When hitting a hurtbox, the opponent enters a cut state.

Combo Counter

Displays a combo counter below player lifebars during a combo. It uses the combo value the game uses for hitspark numbers and will not count multi-hit grabs or cross-up unblockables.

Damage Display

When enabled, it will draw a red bar over the lifebar gap from where HP was at the start of a combo to where HP is currently. It also shows combo damage total on the edge of the red lifebar.

Input Display

Shows a time-based input viewer on the bottom of the screen. It shows a graphical representation of a controller's input that lights up a color when pressed. To the right of it is a grid that shows that input relative to when it was pressed. In this grid, each dark grey line represents 1/6th of a second and each light grey line is 5/6th of a second.

Additional controls

• Press Select to pause the input tracker. Unpause and resume live tracking by pressing select again.
• While inputs are paused, use L and R to cycle through the time to see inputs pressed over the last 8 seconds.
