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 downloadable, EXE version of Super Smash Flash. Players are able to have a configuration for both player one and player two. Changing the control set in SSF is a lot simpler 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 to movement while the other two are assigned to attacking and jumping. Players can also reset any change done to the controls configuration to revert back to the default configuration.

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 Super Smash Bros. games, there are now 18 inputs for the player: four buttons for movement, 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, two optional buttons for jumping, one optional button for dashing and four other 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.
