Smash Flash DOJO!!!

Smash Flash DOJO!!, also refered as SSF2 DOJO!!, is the official website of Super Smash Flash 2 used to post information of the game 3 time a week about characters, stages, items, news, etc. It is based on the [http://super-smash-bros.wikia.com/wiki/Smash_Bros._DOJO!! Smash Bros. DOJO!!] of Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Overview
The Smash Flash DOJO!! has had many variants but all with the same purpose. Many of them are currently closed due fact there were problems with updates:


 * First DOJO!!: The first DOJO!! was simply a forum pasted with attachments of character profiles and more. It was called Super Smash Flash Central. Eventually, it was closed down due to a generally disrespectful community.


 * Second DOJO!!: The second DOJO!! had a resemblance to the actual Smash Bros. DOJO!!. It was created by Naruto [NU], but was recreated by stoat.tamer used to solve the member disrespect problem. It was temporarily put on hold for a remodeling, and due to a completely rewritten code, marked a new DOJO!!.


 * Third DOJO!!: The third "DOJO!!" (a fan made) was created by Tid, under the name Flash2dojo. The head of the dojo is Tid, with help from Xviyz along many others. It is currently out of service.


 * Fourth DOJO!!: The third official DOJO!! and fourth one was released in June 12, 2009 and it was coded in Flash by Neron of the McLeodGaming Forums, it had a new a and better design. It completely replaced the second DOJO!!. It was attempted to make multiple languages for this DOJO!! but only Portuguese was done and it was never completed. It was closed down on June 16, 2010


 * Fifth DOJO!!: The fifth DOJO!! was started on June 5, 2010 now by the user Sirtopeia with the help of RoyMaster4, yet another user; but it was released on June 16, 2010. It is an enhanced version of the fourth DOJO!! and, unlike this last, it is coded in php/html/css format (those like the regular websites, such as the McLeodGaming Forums, have), rather than being coded in Flash. It is avalaible in multiple languages thanks to the Google translator technology, though it is not a clear translation.
