The Super Smash Flash series is a series of free, multiplayer, fan-made Flash games made by Gregory McLeod under the alias Cleod9, based off of the Super Smash Bros. series.[1] . The original, Super Smash Flash, is based off of the Nintendo-made Super Smash Bros. Melee, while its sequel is said to be a "Frankenstein"[2] .

Players by default use the keys W, A, S, and D to move their characters up, left, down, and right respectively. Attacks can be performed using P, and in Super Smash Flash 2, special attacks can be performed using O. Any combination of a direction and an attack button will result in a different attack. The common objective, like in official Super Smash Bros titles, is to knock opponents off of the screen; a departure from traditional fighting games. Players are given a percentage instead of a health bar, which increases as they take damage. A higher damage percentage means that attacks will send the player farther, which may ultimately lead to a KO.[3]


Reception

Super Smash Flash

The original Super Smash Flash (often abbreviated SSF, or SSF1) garnered critical reception. Though initially reviewed positively, later reviews such as one on FlashGN found the game to be "lacking control", and "simply a buggy and flawed attempt at recreating one of the best fighting games of all time."[4] Though, still racking in a Newgrounds daily feature award, over 11 million views, and a four star rating, Super Smash Flash was categorized as making "Flash Portal History" for 2006.[5] Throughout the rest of the internet, the game has picked up several other awards.[6]

Super Smash Flash 2

Super Smash Flash 2 (abbreviated SSF2), though uncompleted, has gained significantly more traction than its predecessor. It was featured in GamesRadar's "10 fan games that shouldn't be ceased or desisted" as number 5 while still in its infancy, and gained a feature article on GoNintendo[7] [8]. Developers claim it is played over 400,000 times a day on McLeodGaming alone, and was featured as an indie developer at the Super Smash Bros tournament, APEX 2013.[9]
