Super Smash Flash 2 popularly known as SSF2, is a Macromedia Flash multiplayer game developed by McLeodGaming. It is a sequel to the popular Super Smash Flash, and is loosely based on the plot of Super Smash Bros Series. Over the years, developers have released various demo versions and the current one is v0.9.
The game plot of SSF2 is pretty similar to the original Super Smash Bros game series. In SSF2, the health of each character is determined by the level of damage it encounters. More damage means more risk.
SSF2 provides two game play modes for matches: Stock and Time Mode. Players can also use the combination of the two to play. Stock Mode provides a chosen number of lives to each player and for every KO or self-destruct, the player loses a life. After losing all the lives, the character is defeated and the survivor wins. In Time Mode, the player receives a point when he/she knocks out an opponent, and loses when the reverse happens. In a tie, a Sudden Death match will determine the winner.
As this game is updated regularly, the information given here will change accordingly.
