Miniplay Super Smash Flash 2 Beta: A Tribute to the Ultimate Smash Game

Super Smash Flash 2, commonly abbreviated as SSF2, is a nonprofit fighting fan game developed by the Super Smash Flash 2 Team, led by Gregory Cleod9 McLeod, and published by McLeodGaming. This game does not aim to clone the Super Smash Bros. series, featuring many of its gameplay mechanics and characters. Instead, it's a reboot of the critically received fan game Super Smash Flash.

The game has made great strides in supporting tons of games from the ActionScript 2.0 days, including an almost fully-functional Super Smash Flash 1. In addition to this, there is a project called Ruffle that has been underway for some time to emulate the Flash Player in-browser without requiring a plugin. This project has allowed SSF2 to blossom into the ultimate Smash tribute that you see today.

As the creators of one of the most ambitious Flash-based projects on the internet, it pains us greatly to see Flash go. Many of you probably already know that the end of Flash Player support arrived today, with the full transition to being globally disabled arriving on January 12th, 2021. Despite this setback, SSF2 isn't stopping any time soon.

The team is going to start off a bit slower this year, but there are plenty of content plans in the pipeline. In the meantime, you can always download the game to play on your desktop using Adobe AIR in place of the Flash Player. We encourage you to check out Ruffle's Open Collective page if you'd like to support such an awesome project.

In case you missed it, please make sure to follow SSF2's new Twitter account and subscribe to our new YouTube channel so you don't miss out on any updates or news. Expect more information as we begin picking up the pace again. The end of Flash Player may mark the end of an era, but it also allows us to look back and appreciate how it allowed all sorts of creative individuals to express themselves.

Super Smash Flash 2 is a testament to the power of Flash in bringing people together and allowing them to create something truly special. It's what put McLeodGaming on the path to being a real independent game studio in the early 2000s, and we're grateful for that. We hope you continue to enjoy playing SSF2, and we'll see you all in the next update!
