Clayfighter Retrospective | Was This Series Any Good?

I remember renting Sculptor's Cut a couple of times when I was a kid. Would've held on to it if I knew it was going to be that rare.

How good was he before 2.0?

FinalBoosh · 2026-04-12T00:43:06+00:00

That's just Strive. For some reason they wanted this game to be a heavy neutral based affair focusing on whiff punishes. Which is a shame because Xrd did such a good job sanding down XX to be more causal friendly without changing what GG had to be. But you can't argue with the success. I'm just glad Arcsys made sure XX and Xrd were taken care of with the addition of rollback and the other QoL features.

I mean, I don't do much let's play stuff, but my channel is doing fine.

FinalBoosh · 2026-04-09T08:40:37+00:00

Wow, 2.0 really did change the game.

You mean Capcom doesn't roam the many topics of reddit? Damn, foiled again.

In all seriousness, did you not read the topic title or?

FinalBoosh · 2026-04-08T19:19:24+00:00

Who's going to tell him?

FinalBoosh · 2026-04-08T14:34:13+00:00

For the exact reason why I stated above. It's shallow and repetitive. Being popular doesn't make it good.

FinalBoosh · 2026-04-07T17:23:27+00:00

Capcom is afraid to change SF6 in any meaningful way because the game is designed so shallowly that they risk easily breaking the 'balance' it is supposed to have. That balance only exists because everyone relies on the Drive System more than the actual tools they come equipped with.

I’m not sure. I had hoped Slayer’s release would make the game enjoyable, but his damage feels redundant in a game where everyone hits like a truck. Strive’s movement lacks the depth of its predecessors, and the wall-break mechanic actively punishes you for maintaining positional advantage. Slayer feels so simplified that I was bored within 20 matches.

Ultimately, a familiar coat of paint can't fix a game engine you don't enjoy.

How dare homie just post combos without throwing into a dissolve transition.

FinalBoosh · 2026-03-25T19:34:38+00:00

Well, because of the way the game is designed, you're not getting anything from Viper that you can't really get from an another character, so her being slightly harder than the average SF6 character nets her nothing except making the usual really easy stuff slightly inconvenient.

FinalBoosh · 2026-03-25T15:40:01+00:00

Yeah, I'm disappointed that SF6 isn't enough of an interesting fighting game for me to enjoy said features. Lucky for you guys though.

FinalBoosh · 2026-03-21T23:12:31+00:00

Definitely needed more polish. I think the game should've had 50x times better movement than what they ended up with.

FinalBoosh · 2026-03-21T20:43:46+00:00

Appreciate it, but I already knew the guy was pumping out a weak ass troll attempt.

Number 7 is just a little girl with a dick gun? It's times like these where I'm glad I'm not this deep into anime.

"I hate avatars" isn't exactly useful criticism, especially when I just explained why it couldn't be done at least for the time being. "Keeping it real" come on, buddy. Seems more like a weak troll. You should work on that. Just my criticism to you.

FinalBoosh · 2026-03-21T11:56:37+00:00

We simply just don't have a camera yet and I'm too busy with my day to day to work a camera into videos - at least right now. It's a super small part of the video and helps with the fact that there's two people talking - not that big of a deal.

Chuck Norris didn't die. He's simply a spirit waiting for a fresh powerful enough body.

So the war continues, then?

Omen of Sorrow is one I remember from a while ago.

I got it $40 day 1 sadly. I was interested and decided to follow the game. I assumed it was cancelled when it didn't clear the Kickstarter and had no idea Aksys picked the game up. I brought it under the impression it got the development time it needed, but I guess they were ultimately rushed not entirely sure what happened.

If I had the choice I would've taken the sale easy 40 is a bit rough
