So this was my proposal for McLeodGaming 2020 April Fool's joke. But I may have made it look way too convincing, which is why the video is uploaded onto my personal channel instead to emphasis that this isn't a real reveal. Whoops.

Anyway, onto the main topic. If you don't know, Flash of Shadows was the proposed Adventure Mode story for SSF2 during the early days of development. Which is why the story had many original characters like Azrael, Umbra, etc. However after many changes with development, the initial concept for Flash of Shadows have been made obsolete.

But with the McLeodGaming Forums (one of the oldest SSF2 information locations) closing down by the end of April, I thought it be neat to bring it back for April Fools as a way to honor that past. Many of the scenes in the video are based off the original script and concepts for the story that I could salvage and I revised the designs for some of the original characters.

So does this confirm or deconfirm anything about Adventure Mode for SSF2? Not at all. This was just a fun April Fools video about an untold story 10+ years ago. Adventure Mode for SSF2, in whatever form it takes, is just something we have to wait and see if it happens.

I hope this lightens your day.
