Controls

Controls is a menu found in options that allows players to create or change the button configuration of the game. It is present in both games of the Super Smash Flash series.

In Super Smash Flash
Controls is one of the exclusive features for the downloadble, EXE version of Super Smash Flash. Players are able to have a configration for player one and player two. Changing the control set in SSF is a lot more simplier than in Super Smash Bros. Melee (which requires a name entry first) as players only have to click on the desired command and press the new key they want to assign it. There are six inputs the player can configure: four are assigned for movement while the other two are assigned for attacking and jumping. Players can also reset any change done to the controls configuration back to the default settings.

In Super Smash Flash 2
Unlike SSF, the controls option in Super Smash Flash 2 is available for both the browser and downloadable versions. It has been expanded to accommodate up to four control configurations for four players.

As movesets for characters have been greatly expanded to be more akin to how they are in the official Smash Bros. games, there are now 18 inputs for the player: four buttons for movement (now with the possibility of having two extra commands assigned exclusively for jumping), one for regular attacks, one for special moves, one for grabbing, two for shielding (one is already assigned while the other is optional), one for taunting, one for pausing, one optional button for dashing and other four optional buttons for "C-stick" performances.

Along with these commands, players also have the additional functions of tap jump (which allows to jump with the assigned up key), auto-dash (which changes the optional dash button from to "walk") and d-tap dash (double tap dashing). It should be noted that having the auto-dash function enabled means the player cannot select d-tap dash.

Unlike SSF, there's no way to normally reset the controls back to the default settings so it has to be done manually or by clearing all data.
