Super Smash Flash 2 Demo Hands-On


I love the original Super Smash Flash. The game was basically a fan made version of Super Smash Bros. Melee. Super Smash Flash 2 looks to be a fan made version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl and it looks like its going to blow its predecessor out of the water.


I've played the demo of SSF2 and I can honestly say that the controls a much tighter than they were in the first SSF. Your character won't slide all over the place during jumps and they can even grap onto ledges. Like Brawl, SSF2 also has the special Smash Ball, item, which allows your character to unleash their Final Smash move. Since many of the characters from Brawl are present in SSF2, you'll see a lot of familiar Final Smash techniques. However, there are quiet a few new faces shows up in Brawl, so that means you'll see some new Final Smash attacks. Ichico's final form is his Bankai. If you charge it up, he'll put on his Hollow mask and strike with Black Moon Fangs.

Even though it was just a demo, its enough to give you a good feel of how SSF2 will work. The first game was a blast to play but it had more than its fair share of flaws like the aforementioned slippery controls. That isn't an issue here as SSF2 is much more refined in that regard.

The anticipation for SSF2 is huge. I'm salivating at the mouth waiting for this game, as are many others who played the first SSF. There's even a SSF Dojo, modeled after the SSBB Dojo. I'm hoping this game comes out very soon because the wait is killing me.
