Attention, SSF2 v0.9 is now fully available!
We apologize for the delay, you can download or play it in your browser by visiting our Games page as usual.
Anyway, there are a couple things you should note about this update before you play:
Why Smash balls are forced off:
We apologize for this, however we did have some delays due to the behavior of some final smashes. Rather than delay the demo for extended period of time, we really wanted to let you guys play so we decided to continue the release with it temporarily disabled. We will definitely provide a patch to take care of this so don’t worry.
We have now implemented a new “version” text:
Below is a picture of the number shown at the bottom-right of the character select screen:
This numbers tells you your version of the game, and minor/emergency updates will increase only the last digits. For example, the equivalent of v0.9a and v0.9b would be v0.9.0 and v0.9.1. A minor update to v0.9b could be v0.9.1.284. We’ve done this to make it easier to tell between versions of the game. However, we will not be having updates all the way to v0.9.9, so you can expect digits to be skipped before we get to v1.0. For now, just know that we do plan on doing a couple of minor updates to v0.9 in order to address some of the things we picked up at Apex, and some slightly more significant updates may be done as well.
Users who downloaded the Twitch link may want to re-download:
We had force-disabled Clock Town temporarily during Apex and forgot to put it back, so we fixed this among other things.
Lastly, I would like to thank everyone who watched the Apex livestream!
It turned out to be a big hit at the event, and on the last day we were pushing up to 3K viewers on our Twitch at any given time. Not to mention having a couple hundred thousand total views over just a single weekend, so thank you everyone for your support!

Also, we are aware that the website is slow right now. We’re experiencing a lot of traffic due to high demand, so I will be working on the issue.
