I just played it last night for the first time. I will be working on getting this game running with parsec with a Button mapping program called reWASD. In reWASD after you made all controller. The key is to enable group. For instance, you want 4 players. In reWASD it would look like this in group Xbox+Xbox+Xbox+Xbox First you set up 4 controllers. after it's done. Keep on group for ever. Unplug the 3 controllers. When you turn PC back on. Your group should look like this Xbox+_____+______+______. When 3 players from parsec jump on your PC. It will go back to Xbox+Xbox+Xbox+Xbox the program will keep remapping buttons for new players by itself as long as you keep group on with all Xbox controllers.

@Mikey DJ Any game on your PC can be hosted to play online no matter what. All games must be mapped with xinput (Xbox controllers) parsec will only understand this. If your game isn't xinput compatible. All your games you host in parsec won't work. reWASD program makes this way easier for you. Steam games are automatic xinput so you don't have to map those at all. Emulators and smash flash 2 needs to be mapped out completely so it can work inside parsec. Parsec works like this. You have one computer. You are sharing your computer with 3 other people from parsec. How ever you mapped all your controllers, that's how they will work for the 3 online players. Basically, you have one keyboard. You have to map all four players with your one keyboard. reWASD makes this process simple. It gives you a controller layout. Create 4 gamepads inside reWASD from left to right. All controllers must be in form of (keyboard keys) no controller should have the same keys at all. After you made 4 gamepads with reWASD. Open smash flash 2 and configure all 4 controllers exactly how you did it in reWasd. Now here's the important vital trick to get this to work. Do this before you do anything. Install parsec soda to help you settings up virtual controllers because most likely you have 1 or 2 controllers only. Ok leave reWASD open with your (one controller) plugged in. Then open parsec soda. Enable 3 controllers only in parsec soda. 3 controllers will pop up inside reWASD. Group all 4 controllers together like this. (Xbox+Xbox+Xbox+Xbox) that's your whole keyboard but in form of 4 controllers. After you group 4 controllers as one device, save it. Ok, now completely turn off parsec soda. (You don't need) this at all anymore. Now if you look inside reWASD your group should look like this. (Xbox+_____+______+______) That's exactly what you want. Now when you host games in parsec. Anyone who jumps on your PC will fill those empty slots automatically. reWASD will keep remapping 3 controllers for new players every time new players jump in. You only have to set this up one time. Then everytime you wanna host games on parsec. Turn on reWASD with group left opened at all times. You're good to go. You don't have to touch parsec soda no more. That was just to help you set up (group). So ... install smash flash 2 on your PC, set up the whole thing one time and you're good to go. reWASD makes the process easy. It can be done without reWASD but it's the best method for me. The program is worth buying. If you just want keyboard mapping it's $7.00. If you auto aim assist, rapid fire, turbo buttons all kinds a crazy modification it's $24.00 It's completely worth it because you map out games one time. Just host in parsec. No more waisting time trying to figure out controller setup. Just play, no controller work.

Ssf2 inspired me to start coding. Once Adobe died, my friends were left with nothing to play in the computer lab after school. I began making my own 2 player games on easy sites like scratch, but I'd always wish to play Ssf2 instead. This game made up a small but meaningful time in my life and I'd hate to see it die out. If this game ends up like Melee, that would actually be sick. Players learning advanced tech, evolving a Meta, soon enough we'll peak at 20SS. Thank you for always shedding more light to this game, every inch counts.

SSF2 is one of my favorite childhood memories that I grow up playing with. It was ashamed I’ve been missed out on a lot unless I would get my own computer/laptop to play this game again. Hopefully my interests is still going strong; even if I’m still trying to look any updates they wanted to bring us.

I found ssf2 when I was in first grade in 2009 when we had free time in computer class. I loved playing with my best friend at the time where I would have the right side of the keyboard and he'd have the left side. Seeing it lose access from browser really stinks because it was always a fun game to go back to once in a while, especially with the new versions and updates. Oh well.

5:15 i swear that Melvin guy is always hosting a lobby

I actually chuckled when you said retirement even before the sike moment. Wake me up when they update the mods for 1.4

I love playing SSF2, but I don’t play too often since I don't really have any friends who play it, so I end up just playing against CPU's for, like, half an hour before going off again Even if I don't play too often, I love seeing other people play it, and also watching videos about it too. It's such a great game, and I'm really hoping that there's something that'll get me into playing more often like I used to

6:25 oh shit that's me

I've been watching you on and off for years but I was massively into the game during the late 9B/early Beta days. I just remember all the hype and playing the game with my friends online when that was first possible all the time. I haven't played in a few years and sort of stopped smash altogether. That being said my theory was also that in the leadup to Ultimate people were playing the game a lot more because smash 4 was dull/inaccessible on the Wii U in the late era. Games like Slap City and Rivals were also much bigger in the Smash 4 era I always thought because of the Wii U. Even Br*wlhalla blew up during that time. I think a lot of the community were people like me who were into smash when they were younger given the browser nature and just moved on sometime in the ultimate days. Sorry for the essay and if you're still reading this let me know if you had a similar experience or if I'm totally wrong lol

this might be an unpopular opinion, but i really miss the art style from 2010-2013. maybe I'm just extremally nostalgic for the common sprites from Super Mario World, Sonic Advance, JUS, Chain of Memories and all the other ones ripped from DS, GBA and SNES games. The original reveal trailer from 2008 is pure nostalgic gold. It's kind of wild to think during this game's development we've had 4 smash games released.

I love this game, i spend around 1 to 2 hours a day playing it. But i can't really play as i would like to, i have a really bad internet connection so i can't play online, and none of my friend play this game and there is no active community close to me (i live in france).

Haven't played the game ever since flash got taken down

I think the main reason ssf2 is dying may be the browser, but I'd argue it is the netcode. It's based from flash which makes it extremely hard to support, same reason why it's not receiving too many updates too. People just don't use flash to code anymore. I think we could get a sequel more likely than an update, starting again in something bigger and better that could turn the "series" around.

@crazynaut223

Flash is obsolete but still a very easy software to use, and some of the team has gone on record saying they wouldn't want to keep working on the game if it was in a different software. Either way I don't think we're ever getting a sequel; fifteen years is already a long time to work on a fan project and not get paid for it, if they wanted to "start again" then at that point just make something like Fraymakers that can actually be sold for money.

Thank you for reminding me of SSF2, I loved the game as a kid and remember thinking it was really, really good. Now that I have a new, better laptop I'm downloading it again to play it. The death of Flash really is the main reason that google trends of the game have become basically nothing.

I downloaded ssf2 this week-end and this game is a masterpiece

have been playing smash flash more than ever in the last few months, i am getting good at the game and even picking up a new main, i only play in open arenas though, and it is not that easy to get some legless matches here in EU

It's been forever since I've played. Out here 2 tricking pika and bandana. (Nice pfp btw) Glad recommended showed me this

If they where to bring a new character to smash i would that it would be one that hasnt been in smash, since thats kinda the main reason i play it, that uniqueness

The only reason that I personally left the scene was cause of the rule changes into download only for tournaments, as well as requiring ethernet. I get why those were implemented but me having been a young kid with a chromebook that took me out. And now I just got into ultimate and other FG’s I havent thought about ssf2 much. Maybe the bbm with no plan will return but that’s later. Nice vid!

I really wanna play this game again dude, I just don’t have access to it as far as I’m aware. Before flash died I was kinda lucky. Being able to get versions with near complete rosters on school computers with all the limitations was pretty sweet. Maybe one day I’ll play again.

My main issue is that for the roster they are picking too many characters that are already in Smash Bros. The appeal of SSF was that it had the characters you’d never see in a Smash game. They need to lean into that much more. The fact that Smash games did add characters like Sora, Cloud, Mega Man, Simon, etc. makes SSF feel much less unique. Originally they were going to add Vegeta and Sasuke but they decided not to which I think is a shame because they would bring players. I just don’t feel the need to get back into SSF when they add a character like Ganondorf because I can just play Smash.

Last week a Spanish KZreadr has updated a SSF2 video, hope that can make SSF2 revive a bit more

From what I heard, they are working on both adding new updates to the game, and they are also trying to remake a backup version of it Incase the current one they have becomes unplayable, so they've been super busy and couldn't add to much new updates and contents rn. This game has been something that raised me sort of, so I'm always gonna love and support this game and keep on playing it regardless

I stopped playing after I started playing Ultimate competitively but it never would've happed if I didn't find this game originally

Ive come back after 4 years to revive this game baby!

If it's dying, I dont think is bad, it will allow to the devs to create new and original projects :)

I was playing this since I was 15, I’m 26 now. I was there since the first one, and I can honestly say it took too long for the full thing to come out completely. We don’t play browser games like we used to, so it’s lost a lot of steam off that alone. Greg McCleod will always have my respect for great childhood memories for sure tho.

I don't know how to download it

I’m just a spectator now since life hit plus I’ve been playing the game for 10 years just have interest in ultimate and the FGC

To be honest i think the hype and the community has died out now since people like me have rarely been playing the game nor just play it whenever we get bored out of other games but hopefully they'll soon plan for more updates or add new characters to the game.

Just curious, does anyone have a link to download SSF2

I still play it to this day..

I'm still coming over to my best friend with a controller so we can play it. Feels like when i was younger i was coming over to my same friend to play minecraft on our tablets. I'm enjoying my "childhood" days as much as i can before i become an adult.

actually how do u play the game ive been tryna play it but i cant play it

I originally joined the community through SSF1. It was jank but it was the only swf I could get through my school's fire wall. Eventually I learned that SSF2 existed and I really wanted to play it because I didn't have smash bros. Now that I have a computer I can play it.

how do you install ssf2?

I think the reason its dying casually because its so hard playing with online Like not because its hard to log in Its because its so hard to find somebody whos in a server that doesnt have smash levels of lag

does anyone how i can enter to ssf2 tournaments? ive playing ssf2 since 2016/17 and ive always wanted to be on a tournament, so if anybody know it would mean a lot :)

Where can i play

Where do I play SSF2 now I was never able to play it anywhere? Do you know where I have access to play SSF2?
