Play Clay Fighter 2 - Judgment Clay Online

Clay Fighter 2: Judgment Clay came out on the Super Nintendo in 1995, published by Interplay. It was part of that wave of fighting games trying to stand out with a unique visual style, using claymation characters at a time when most competitors were using digitized actors or hand drawn sprites. The game had a weird, lumpy charm that made it memorable, even if it wasn't the most polished fighter on the system.

You pick from a roster of bizarre fighters, like a stretchy blue blob or a living snowman, and battle through a series of one-on-one matches. The main goal is to defeat your opponent by depleting their health bar within a time limit, using a mix of standard punches, kicks, and special moves. A couple of its signature mechanics include the ability to transform into a more powerful, monstrous version of your character for a short time, and stages with interactive elements, like a bell that can drop on a fighter's head. The pacing is fairly standard for the genre, though some of the hit detection can feel a bit loose. It feels silly and unpredictable, like playing with action figures that have come to life.
