Super Smash Flash 2

[Wario Bros.]

Dang it, I missed the direct. #sadface
Heard some characters got tweaked moves. Any tweaks on Sora?

Yes Sora does:

Yes.

• Firaga is gone due to not fitting with his intended playstyle of "lots and lots of combos, very few finishers".
• Strike Raid has been moved to Neutral Special.
  • Strike Raid now has a shorter range, but hits multiple times and sends the opponent towards Sora at the end.
• His new side special is Flowmotion from Dream Drop Distance. It starts with a glide and ends with one of five follow up attacks based on the direction held.

He got a new N-Special, being flowmotion. It's a attack when if landed on a opponent it can lead up to more combo opportunities. His original N-Special has been changed to his Side Special and brings opponents in when they are at certain percentages, a good combo starter too it seems like. However the range of it has been brought down and Fire has been removed.

You got it a bit mixed up there.

Cool, cool..... *sees flowmotion* COOLCOOLCOOL. *sees online mode/release date* OMGTHISISGONNABESOAWESOMEICANTWAITIWLLPWNEVERYONEONLINE.
Update looks great overall. Much optimism. Sora looks pretty op with that flowmotion, I'll have to admit.

I'm a little worried about McLeodGaming giving the demo a release date. I mean it's not bad but more of risky. I've been following Super Smash Flash 2 ever since they released the very first demo (7 years ago) and in the past things never ran smoothly when a release date was given for a demo. Problems included eager fans would be in a huge uproar when it took too long to release as promised (one time a demo came the second hour of the day after the promised date). And with this GIANT inclusion of registering hundreds and hundreds of online accounts worries me more.

I'm still super excited for this demo but there's a reason why I prefer McLeodGaming to not include release dates on demos.

They had a hard enough time getting the stream going and there was still lag on the gameplay.

 

[Saikyoshi]

I'm going to wait until the afternoon before I check. I don't want to rush the servers.

And I am so angry at Kotaku right now. Yes, they gave SSF2 exposure... but they focused on the living relics, the four characters most likely to drive new players away. Argh. And they called it a stripped-down Brawl, which simply isn't true...

(A quick reminder, if you haven't yet set up your controller configuration, do it now!)

It doesn't tell me how to configure tilt/smash with a Wii U Pro Controller.

The stream was 720p and Twitch didn't give downscaling options to viewers so some machines/connections couldn't handle it. I watched it, though, and it was full speed the entire time.

We're running ahead of schedule, so *knocks on wood* we should be fine this time so long as our online database doesn't give us trouble. We gave a release date instead of a release time which should also help.

Don't be angry! Kotaku gave us like 50k views on the Direct alone (and counting)!

People are checking us out, at least. It's good to get more attention. I'd rather someone watch the Direct/read the article and decide the game sucks than to never hear of it.

I'm just worried about a hundred "weeaboos must die"-types of users running around and storming the place. I mean even more than they already do. And judging from the comments of the article, that's exactly what's about to happen. I can see the DDoS attacks already... (Why, yes, I am toxically cynical, why do you ask.)

By the way, um... I've been trying to do damage control on Miiverse and TVTropes by telling people that Goku, Naruto, and Ichigo are only still in because they were programmed before the roster change... Is that entirely accurate, or am I just misunderstanding something Kiki said a long time ago?

Firaga has been cut, Strike Raid moved to neutral b and sends opponents towards you. new side-b called flowmotion. Sends sora plunging towards opponents and can hit them with five different attacks depending on which direction you hold. So yeah, Sora has been changed.

Edit: Ok so that comment was from yesterday, not today. Well then.

Liiiiittle late to the party there.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Tomorrow is the big day!
I'm so hyped!

 

[APC99]

I'm so ready for this. It's going to be...

...Turbo-tastic.

 

[WheelerFGC]

So, when is it going to be put up on the site today?
I'm an impatient little smasher...

 

[Substitution]

The anticipation.
All the feels...

Hopefully the site won't crash due to more than 100,000 people constantly refreshing the page, forcing a delay.

Again.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

It is after noon here.
IMPATIENCE ESCALATES.

 

[CrossoverMan]

GGGUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!

Need.... Smash Flash...... NEED IT NOW! *Rolls and scratches like a wild animal on the floor*

*Sips some anti-psychotics*

Y'all take your time, guys.

Eh. I can wait.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

Yeah, respect the people that have ACTUAL LIVES (unlike a small% of us)

I don't have an actual life, so here's that Chibi-Robo costume pic from Facebook:

Looking at the thread title, someone should tell Cleod that "Hello, beautiful. Come play." would make a good slogan for MG.

I'm also making a printable instruction manual to help the game feel more like a console game. Of course I can't finish it without the current version being out, but at least I can get started

 

[BluePikmin11]

Waiting...

 

[Radical Larry]

SO CLOSE! IT'S SO CLOSE! WITHIN REACH...!

 

[Wario Bros.]

On Facebook MLG posted a confirmed couple hour delay. Either wake up to see the demo or man up and download in the middle of the night.

I had a feeling this was going to happen but it's not the end of the world. Oh well.

See y'all tomorrow.

I figured as much.

No, you're not Valve time yet.
You haven't delayed the game's release by a year.

Tonight is the night!
