Super Smash Flash 2

Super Smash Flash 2, commonly abbreviated SSF2, is an upcoming Macromedia Flash Player 8 game, developed by McLeodGaming and produced by Cleod9 Productions, the game is based on and features many characters from the Super Smash Bros. series, as well as third party characters. This game is the direct and official sequel of the famous game Super Smash Flash.

NOTE: Since this game is still under development, nothing is 100% confirmed.

Gameplay
The following explanation is based on the gameplay of the demo:

Super Smash Flash 2's gameplay is very similar to the official Super Smash Bros. games. Unlike most traditional 2D fighting games, each character's health is measured by a damage percentage counter. As the character is attacked, damage is accumulated and the percent value increases. The higher the percentage, the weaker the character is, and the easier it is for them to be KO'd off the stage.

The controls are more different than it's predecessor. Now, for default, the controls are switched. The A, S, D, and W key now work for player 1 while the arrow keys goes for a second player. These keys are used to move the character around, jump and crouch. However the O and P keys still remain in the P-1 possession using: O key for special attacks (or activate Final Smash), P key for standard attacks, I key for shield and 1 key for taunt; while for P-2 uses Numpad 1 for special attacks (or activated Final Smash), Numpad 2 for standard attacks, Numpad 3 for shield and Numpad 4 for taunt.

Matches can be played in either Time mode, Stock mode, or a combination of the two. In Time mode, each player receives a point when they KO an opponent, and loses a point if they are KO'd or self-destruct. At the end of the designated time limit, the player with the most points wins. In Stock mode, each player is given a chosen amount of lives, and every time they are KO'd or self-destruct, they lose a life. When a player loses all their lives, they are out of the game, and the match's conclusion is reached when there is only one player left standing.

This time, the game is very similar to Brawl, and mechanics are more similar to the original games.

Characters
The Characters are the fighters that brawl of Super Smash Flash 2, representing the universe they belong. Each character has a number of special attacks, standard attacks and an unique special move called Final Smash.

There are 2 types of them: the Starter Characters, who are accessible in the beginning, and the Unlockable Characters, who can be accessible only if they are unlock by completing some tasks.

This list is a copilation of the characters in Super Smash Flash 2 that have been confirmed to appear as playable characters with a total of 45, they are listed in alphabetical order and shaded cells denote possibles unlockable characters.

You start out with 0-5 big stars (depending on the handicap; 3 is the default) and you can get more by grabbing them when they appear or stealing them from other players (hence Star Snag).
