I apologize for the extended downtime, but we were getting reports of users experiencing unusual behavior with the site so I set out to fix it. Unfortunately it took a little longer than expected, however things should be back to normal now. Please be sure to report anything else that comes up if you notice anything strange (such as pop-ups, browser crashes, etc).
Notice: During the repair process some users’ with uploaded avatars on the forums may have been removed. So if your avatar is missing you will have to re-upload it, sorry about that!
For those of you wondering when the smash ball will return in SSF2, understand that we want to make sure everything works properly before we update. Right now we are aiming to update v0.9 with the smash ball and other minor fixes this upcoming Monday (Feb. 4th). The wait will only be a little while longer, please bear with us!

In other news, I’d like to announce that Evo 2013 (the largest fighting game tournament series in the world) is holding a competition to decide their eighth and final game in their lineup. Their current lineup is missing one thing, and that’s Super Smash Bros.! Evo is accepting donations for Breast Cancer research to decide what final game will be added to their lineup (whatever game gets the most donations wins).
Currently support Super Smash Bros. Melee is on the rise and stands a good chance at getting in, meaning it’s a big chance to boost the revival of the SSB competitive scene (and hopefully allowing more opportunities for SSF2 to gain attention for these sorts of events as with Apex 😉 ). In order for Melee to win, it has to receive more donations to than the other games being voted on. So if you are able to, please support SSBM and Breast Cancer Research!

(Only 2 days left so you’d better hurry!)

Several more issues have been taken care of, including the bug with the web browser version not loading. Some other notable changes are as follows:
-Improved preloading time of the game by shrinking the size of the new intro and only loading the old intro if selected in vault
-Event Match menu can now be fully controlled with the keyboard.
-You can now choose your player for Event Match 10 (to make it a bit more bearable)
-Fixed data importing error message
No smash ball just yet, but it’s coming soon.
I have uploaded an updated version of SSF2 v0.9 with some small changes. The most notable change is that the Mac version of the game is now functional. There have also been some balancing changes, bug fixes, and most OHKOs are fixed,however we will be continuing the balance work as the remaining bugs are taken care of.
Remember, to tell if your current version is up to date, check the bottom right of the title screen! For those of you downloaded the version that was released on Twitch, the number has a typo with an extra digit, so the latest version is indeed the one listed on the site.
(The smash ball has not been added yet, however I will announce it once it’s ready)
Now that the website is running a bit better I was able to get the web version of SSF2 v0.9 to work correctly. The site still may be a bit slow for now but the game should load fine.
Enjoy!
