Super Smash Flash Unblocked — Play Free Online

Super Smash Flash is where the series began. McLeodGaming released it in 2006 as a fan-made platform fighter inspired by Nintendo's crossover brawlers, and it is the game Super Smash Flash 2 grew out of. If you came to this site for the sequel, this is the earlier, smaller and rougher version of the same idea, and it is worth a look to see how much of the formula was already there.

The roster starts with 13 fighters, running from Mario to Blade, and another 15 can be unlocked as you play. Modes include Classic, Adventure and Multi-Man Melee, plus a VS. Mode for playing against a friend or the computer. Matches are about knocking opponents off the stage rather than emptying a health bar, so a round is short and a rematch is always one click away.

The original was a Flash file, and it now runs through the Ruffle emulator, so it opens in the page with nothing to install. Expect the look and feel of a 2006 Flash game: simple menus, compact stages and only three buttons to learn.

How to play

Click to start, type a user name and press Enter. From the menu choose VS. Mode, then Melee. Drag your P1 token onto the fighter you want and press GO.

• Player 1: arrow keys to move, O to jump, P to attack.
• Player 2: W, A, S and D to move, G to jump, F to attack.

Two people can share one keyboard, with player 1 on the right-hand keys and player 2 on the left. Click inside the game window first so it captures your key presses.

Tips

• Learn what each fighter's attack does before you worry about the roster. With one attack button, direction plus P changes the move, so try each direction with each character.
• Keep the stage edges in mind. Jump back toward the platform before you run out of height instead of trying to attack at the last moment.
• Use Multi-Man Melee to practise against several opponents when you have no second player.
• Play through the single-player modes if you want the locked fighters. The unlocks come from playing, not from a code.

Similar games on Super Smash Flash 2

Super Smash Flash 2 is the big sequel, with a much larger roster and more polish. Gun Mayhem 2 and Bearsus also have you pushing opponents off a stage, but Gun Mayhem is built around firearms and Bearsus is a small two-player duel. Stickman Battle and Stickman Fighter: Epic Battles are closer to traditional fighters, and Sumo Party turns the idea into a party game.

It suits a quick session with a friend at one keyboard, or anyone curious about where the series started.
