Game Review: Super Smash Flash AND Super Smash Flash 2

Welcome to another SMAAAAAAAAASH Bros-like review!!!! New Challengers Approaching! Super Smash Flash and Super Smash Flash 2! Set the rules to stock, no items, Final Destination! Ready? FIGHT!
Super Smash Flash was a Flash game released in 2006 by McLeod Gaming, an independent developer. It was followed a few years later by Super Smash Flash 2, which is still in development but you can still play it. They are, you guessed it, fan-made Smash Bros styled games starring a VERY unlikely cast of characters! Sure, you have Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu, Sonic, and all your official Smash Bros favourites, but then you have characters like Goku, Mr Incredible, Sora, Bomberman, Cloud, Naruto, and more!!! The first SSF was mainly based on SSB Melee while SSF 2 is mainly based on SSB Brawl and 4. There really isn't anything else to say! It is a perfect recreation of the official Smash Bros games! That's pretty much it and all you need to know!
First, I would like to review the original SSF. While it did get positive reception when it first came out, it has aged terribly. Some of the problems include awful controls, with only 1 attack button and no blocking (and why does it feel like I'm always sliding on ice?), only having a small handful of stages, lame items, lame graphics, lame music, annoying glitches, and how the creator got REALLY carried away with including all his dream roster picks. Seriously, there are more Sonic characters in the game than Mario, INCLUDING not 1, but 2 Sonic OCs!!!!!!!! If you don't know what an OC is, it stands for Original Character, and the Sonic fandom has some of the worst OCs out there. That's just my opinion, but I'm right. Anyway, while the original SSF does have lots to do in it, with a full Adventure Mode and all sorts of other game modes to play in, the game is such a pain to play that I really can't recommend it. It might be worth checking out just to see all the bizarre roster choices, but other than that, this game sucks. It's appropriate for all ages, but if you let your little kid play this game, you're probably a bad parent. I'm only kidding, of course, there are much worse games out there, but this game still sucks. I'd give it 2 stars out of 5. Worth checking out for novelty's sake, but other than that, skip this game. No Contest! While the first SSF may be bad, there is still hope! The creator made SSF 2, and that game is... well..... it's awesome!!!! This game is Smash Bros perfection all the way! The controls are MUCH more solid with more attacks, more stages, more items, MUCH better graphics, better music, no noticeable glitches, online multiplayer, and much less crazy roster picks! This game is a PERFECT recreation of the gameplay of Super Smash Bros Brawl and on, and while it doesn't have as many modes as the original SSF, the basic VS Mode in this game is so fun, you don't care! There really isn't anything to say! It's perfection! Play it NOW!!!!!!!! It's a FREE DOWNLOAD!!!!!!!!! I'll put a link here so you can experience it's greatness!: http://www.mcleodgaming.com/games.php You can also play it in-browser on the website, and you can download and play the original SSF, if you wanted to for some reason. SSF 2 is so much better than SSF 1 that it's unbelievable! Play it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!! This game is suitable for all ages. I'd give this game 4.8 out of 5 stars! GAME!!!!! And the winner is, Super Smash Flash 2!

Have you played Super Smash Flash and/or Super Smash Flash 2? What did you think of them? Tell me in the comments!
Still waiting on that Digimon All-Star Rumble sale... Maybe I'll try one of the earlier games on the Playstation instead...
