We’re excited to formally announce our return to Super Smash Con 2018 for our fourth year!
Chantilly, VA | Aug 9th-12th, 2018
For those of you who are unaware, Super Smash Con is one of the world’s largest competitive Smash-centric events. It features Smash Bros. tournaments, tons of vendors, panels, arcade games, performances, and more! And it all takes place inside the sprawling Dulles Expo Center in Chantilly, Virginia.
If you’ve been following us on Twitter you’ll know that you want to register by tonight at 11:59PM EST to grab that early bird discount!
We’re still hashing out details, but know that we will have an official Super Smash Flash 2 booth just like previous years with multiple setups for SSF2 friendlies. We’d love for you to stop by and say hi, so if you can make it then register as soon as you can!
Stay tuned for more information regarding SSF2 at the con throughout the coming weeks.
Thank you all for your patience, the website and forums are back in business!
Things should be back to normal now, but if you notice anything fishy please let us know!
Quick heads up! Next Wednesday (April 18th) there will be some maintenance taking place on the forums and the main MG website. During this time the forums may be unavailable and McLeodGaming.com may be unreachable for a short period of time.
Please be aware of the following:
We’ll make a follow-up post once all of the maintenance has been completed!
It’s been an exciting past couple of weeks judging your submissions, and we’re finally ready to announce the winners of our Stage Builder Contest for Yeah Jam Fury! It may have taken 500 attempts to clear some of these stages but we’ve completed them all and are excited to share our top picks!
For the first category we have the winner of Yeah League, a.k.a. “How pretty is it?”. This one goes to “The Keeper of The Forest” stage by Anton G. It was our largest submission in size by far and was downright pleasant to look at while exploring. Just loading the stage in the builder caused our computers to chug, so this must have taken some massive amount of patience! Beautiful work Anton!

Next up we have Jam League, a.k.a. “How twitchy is it?”. This gnarly award goes to Drarky’s stage named “I miss the old pogo SFX” (sorry dude, perhaps a future DLC?). This stage pushed our coordination skills to the limits by requiring extremely precise reaction time and control. Our fingers became basically defunct once we finally cleared it. Way to go Drarky!

And last but not least we have Fury League, a.k.a. “How Stumpy Is It?”. This bad boy goes to none other than Bedoop’s stage titled “Going Bananas But It’s Fresh Milk”. The stage layout really threw us for a loop at first, but we are Yeah Jam Fury masters! After calming down and thinking critically about the situation we managed to finally snag that mango. Bravo Bedoop!

All three winners of these categories will be receiving a $100 Amazon eGift Card, a Steam Key for the game, copies of our soundtracks, as well as this poster of a real mango:

Congratulations you three!
Before closing, we also have some runner-ups in each category that we think deserve honorable mention:
First runner-up was Len’s stage named “YJF Printer: Yeah, Jam, and Fury”, a strong candidate for the Yeah League. We really enjoyed climbing over giant pixelated renditions of Yeah Jam Fury, based on sprites created by our very own SSF2 dev FriendAlias (a.k.a. spid3y916).

For Jam League, EnCapucho’s “The Labyrinth” stage easily could have been a winner. It was a very challenging yet fun time trial, and it had wonderful stage design to boot.

And finally Kirbyrocket’s “Thinking Outside” stage was a mighty contender for Fury League. It showcased a funky physics exploit that slipped under the QA radar (but honestly aren’t all bugs just features?) We won’t spoil it here in case you want to play for yourself in the Steam Workshop 😛

You know, it’s been a fun couple of years working on SSF2. Development has ended up getting pretty boring lately to be honest, and that’s why we’re mixing things up.
We’ve decided to rebrand SSF2 into Flash Minus. We’ve had so many Brawl Minus developers on our team, it seemed like a natural progression.
This is the first of a series of videos to show off what the new update of Flash Minus will bring. Happy Easter!
