We’ve got one more hotfix incoming today! This will address the last few issues with gamepads not working online and desyncs occurring with certain characters like Sheik. Expect brief MGN downtime around 3pm ET when we we push this update.

And we’re all set! The v1.2.0.1 hotfix patch for SSF2 is now available with the following core changes:

• Fixed black screen crash on app start
• Fixed issue with gamepad controls resetting in online mode
• Fixed Kirby/Rayman lockjaw infinites
• Fixed crashes on self-destruct KOs caused by some Ness costumes
• Controls menu button added to online mode character select screen
• Select hand can now interact with online mode character select menu buttons
• 32-bit runtime fixed for Windows XP

Head on over to the SSF2 page now to grab the update.

In addition to the above, MGN’s lobby performance should now be back to v1.1 levels, if not better 🙂

Happy Smashing!

We’re just about finished fixing the last few major issues plaguing players in the latest update! (Including Windows XP 32-bit support, gamepad controls resetting every online match, and overall degraded lobby performance). We plan to ship out a hotfix patch Saturday 2/22 at approximately 11am ET, during which time MGN may be down momentarily while we crank things up to full speed. We’ll let you know once everything is completed!

We’ve noticed things with SSF2’s online mode have been a bit rough at the start, but we’ve been working on it! We think we found a workaround on MGN that should improve stability today. Things aren’t quite running full speed yet but we’re working on optimizing it as much as possible to maximize performance.

We’ll keep you posted on when that work is done!

SSF2 v1.2 Launch + New Website!

SSF2 Beta v1.2 has just launched today, along with a new dedicated website!
https://www.supersmashflash.com/play/ssf2/

This website will be the new permanent home for all things Super Smash Flash. While SSF2 will still be available on MG to play and download for some time to come, the goal is to gradually transition SSF2 content over the new site so fans can get the devs’ undivided attention. Over time MG will become more of a hub as we begin to expand, but you’ll still be able to find SSF2 here for the foreseeable future.

Anyway, now for brief highlights from v.1.2:

• Simon, Krystal, Rayman, Ryu, Lucario, and Waluigi added as playable characters
• Kirby, Ness, and Sora have been fully resprited
• Re-introduced the Smash Ball
• Over 150 true palette swap costumes added
• Revamped Menu UI
• Blood Sword, Poison Bomb, Screw Attack, and Trophy Stand items added
• Projectile priority/clank issues have been addressed
• Miscellaneous bug fixes and balancing
• Lots more! (Click here for the full changelog)

Please note as we mentioned in our last post there will still be a small handful of final smashes missing from this patch. But in case you missed the news, starting in March you’ll be getting updates every 2 months with our new Rotation Release Cycle! So fear not, with regular updates we’ll be able to address those concerns in no time (with a few surprises along the way!)
