Beta 1.1 is the second revision of the final major release of the Super Smash Flash 2 Demo and followed the first beta phase of development. It was released on July 29, 2018.

Engine

 * TRADING ATTACKS IS NOW LIVE
 * Grabs have priority over attacks now so Luffy is viable
 * Grabs will now clank with each other instead of being port-priority-based, dealing 2% damage to both players
 * Double jump reworked
 * Fixed horizontal momentum when holding forward
 * Horizontal momentum now decreases by 30% if no direction is held
 * Backwards jumps now reset all horizontal momentum
 * Throws that don’t actually hit the foe can no longer be SDI’d and feel/look better
 * Clanked attacks can no longer hit after the clank
 * Clanking now pauses animations for the duration of attack hitstuns
 * Intangible CPUs should no longer react to attack collisions
 * Attacks should no longer react when colliding with intangible players
 * Hitboxes that are supposed to ignore shield now work properly
 * Projectile attacks should now properly affect targets
 * Fixed bug where projectiles didn’t clank properly
 * Fixed bug where reflected projectiles couldn’t hurt opponents
 * Projectiles can now respond to receiving “damage”
 * Projectiles that are overpowered are now destroyed
 * If a projectile overpowers a character hitbox, the attacker is no longer immediately hit, and the attacker’s animation will continue. The projectile keeps moving as normal until it actually hits the attacker.
 * Powershielded projectiles can now damage players after being reflected multiple times
 * Reactions for attack hitbox interactions made more consistent overall
 * Hitstun gets boosted by 20% when meteors (angles 270-290) hit grounded foes and a special sound plays
 * Hitlag mechanics reworked
 * DI mechanics reworked
 * Hitboxes are now processed after the current frame is rendered, making collisions more obvious and making it so that immediate pauses reflect proper impact
 * Aerial hitboxes are now processed if player touches the ground on the same frame
 * Attack hitboxes are now processed if player grabs the edge on the same frame
 * Previous frame before ledge grab is no longer shown for an extra frame
 * Fixed a bug where certain characters could be flipped around by moves that should only reflect projectiles
 * When an object takes damage, its sprites are not flipped until the frame after the collision happens
 * Characters no longer turn around if their shield breaks
 * Fixed a rare issue where grab released opponents would get flipped around
 * Removed the artificial 5 frame dodge/spotdodge delay that kicked in after spot-dodges
 * When using a homing attack, the homing target is now cleared when the attack initiates
 * It is now possible to enter turn animation during the first frame of skid so turning isn’t frame perfect
 * Additional tweaks to turns to behave more like Smash 4 (so if you try to cancel a turn in the opposite direction it will downgrade to walk)
 * Characters with moves that allow them to be grabbed during intangibility frames can no longer be grabbed during the move if invincible via revival or starman
 * Characters using alt costumes will revert to the default during screen KOs if fullscreen and quality is set to software mode to prevent lag spikes

Items

 * Added location column to room list
 * Added “ping” column to room list (use with a grain of salt as this is the ping to the server not to you/your opponents)
 * Fixed more bugs with consecutive online mode matches
 * “Target Test glitch” fixed; online connection failures will now result in getting stuck in the waiting room where you will get a message explaining that your connection is incompatible with the foe’s
 * Online mode will now automatically fall back on a server-based connection if P2P connection fails
