What is Lord of the Smash?
Lord of the Smash is a PC game based off two entirely different worlds. Lord of the Rings and Super Smash Brothers. It is made in the program Game Maker as a solo project with graphics based off a DragonballZ gameboy game. The Website is coming soon that will tell you all the characters and their special abilities.
What is the Beta?
The Beta is testing for Balance, Gameplay, and Bugs. It is also for getting ideas. The Beta has all the characters (including the 6 unlockables) so if you like surprises then please wait to play the full version in a month or so. The Beta right now is missing Single Player where you fight against Evil Enemies from the Lord of the Rings Series. The Beta will be updated over the next few weeks with whatever I do, including CPU difficulty, many more stages, and more.
How can I help?
Well i need many things. I need you to list all bugs that you run into.
Some known bugs are:
-Oddly Falling through the level and not being able to respawn. (If this happens press 'P' and Backspace to end the match)
-CPUs walking in place and acting funny.
-Not being able to rush attack up slopes.
I would also like to hear your guys' (smash masters) take on Balancing. Make a full tier list with a scale out of 10 of how good you think the character is, so i can help even out the game alot more.
Come up with Special Ideas. Many characters have Specials
i.e. Rohirrim's Shield, Eowyn's Down+ Shoot Heal or Charging Legolas's Arrow
but some are lacking them and I can't think of good ideas.
High Elf
Hobbit
Gondor Warrior
Gimli
All need specials so if you have an idea that would work let me know.

What are you working on now?
Well other than the specials, there are alot of character things that need to be tweaked.
Some Animations / Moves I am reworking
1.) Gandalf Air Attack - Changing it to be a teleport like Zelda's where there is an explosion at the end that does damage.
2.) Lothlorien Elf - Standing Attack. New Animation with alot more range.
3.) Lothlorien Elf - Up Air attack. New Animation
4.) Gondor Ranger - Up and Down Air Animations (Maybe even whole character redone / changed into something else haha)
5.) Legolas - Down Air attack - Needs some tweaking.
6.) Eowyn - Rush Attack needs to be more interesting haha
7.) Rohirrim - Up or Down attack changed to give the character some more playability.
Let me know if you absolutely hate any animations.

How do i play?
Well there are 4 availabe slots where all of them can be CPUs so its fun just to fight as yourself. But the game really shines with friends. If you have a USB controller go dig it out of your basement or closet and plug it in because with the Joy2Key application that comes in the Zip file you can have 4 people playing at once (with two controllers.) I even including a controller scheme so you can jump right in. Plug in the controller first, then load up JoyToKey.
