With the Beta out after almost three years of arduous wait, a good way to celebrate is by sharing those good bits of information that surround the game's history and development, and as someone who has indagate the SSF series I'd come with a bunch of them. I've posted some of them on the MG Wiki, but others are also exclusively new for this thread. Open the box and enjoy! And excuse me for the ironic title, it's just that it filled up perfectly all the allowed characters.

are you saying we cant ask cleod for his pokemon stadium ssf1 anymore

"Steel Diver was actually leaked on December 2015 before devs properly introduced us to the stage in the Dev Blog #4 on April 2006."
It was actually in the Dev Blog #8.

- Devs are still accepting palette swap requests. A shame that even if the most part of the requests are possible and better than the ones in the game, they won't accept many.

I think this was my fault, actually... I felt like the spin-off DK voice fit better and coded him that way. Other devs didn't agree. I guess it's for the best now, to keep them close to their Smash counterparts.

• Link to Super Smash X, mentioned in the first bullet in the OP: http://www.dan-dare.org/FreeFun/SonicMa ... SmashX.htm
It's little wonder why Cleod thought "I can do better than that".

• The specific Dojo update that listed the erroneous Summer 2008 release date was Sephiroth, who was slated to be an expansion character: https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/mc ... 0713214211

• The animations of the game used to be available for public viewing and submission. Most of them are archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20090203184 ... /index.php
The animation archive was hidden away after the roster was publicly revealed to have changed following v0.7's release.

Kagome, better known as Kira Buckland, would later become the voice of Trucy Wright in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice, and most notably, 2B in NieR: Automata.

Updated with the new trivia provided, thanks.

- In v0.9b, a glitch in the early Online mode made it possible for Sandbag to win against a player if they self-destructed. Because Sandbag was not playable at the time, at the results screen, the announcer and victory fanfare remained silent, and Sandbag itself stood still. Sandbag also has hitbox data in 0.9b, despite not being playable in that version.

- Floating Islands stage from Adventure Mode from SSF was so infamous for how unfair, laggy and tideous it was, that a skip button was added in the upper right corner of the downloadable .EXE version, if one would click the button, the stage will be cleared automatically and the player will receive the points the player eligible for so far as if the stage was cleared normally.


I think this link is broken or at least the archives themselves

Oh wow, oh holy moly

Seems like no matter what kind of quality SSF was it did start a career for a lots of people.

SSF2 0.9b has 5 cut stages Skyworld, Temple of Time, Butter Building, ice climbers, and Lake of Rage. Only ToT and Skyworld have preview screens (however when Skyworld is loaded into the game hovering over the skyworld stage displays a big X) the other 3 are just slots with text displaying their names it is unknown how much development went into those 3 but Skyworld is almost fully complete aside from having lower sprite quality than other stages and every part of the stage being able to be dropped through. Lake of Rage was later implemented into Beta while Skyworld was in previous versions of SsF2. Waiting Room is also visible in the stage selection screen of the photos though it was likely used for testing purposes.
The images i reference are from YaDad's stream and can found on the SSF2 wiki here: http://mcleodgaming.wikia.com/wiki/Skyworld

>I'm one of the lucky fellas that got a demo version release on his birthday... a shame I didn't followed the game back then.
>I actually leaked Wario-Man's special attacks on the MG Wiki a day before v0.7 was released. Steven actually found that out but forgave me.

Don't you think you're treating this thread a bit too much of an autobiography or somethin?
I mean, I have a bit of history with this forum where I got to revive the SSF2 Videos Thread with a dumb bloopers video I made... but had I made a similar thread to that I wouldn't have included that bit of trivia.









Anyways I got one:
Kirby it's one of the few characters to get a taunt completely removed, despite the animation corresponding perfectly with one of his taunts in Brawl and beyond and the animation still being used in his victory animation.

Before v0.5a, Kirby used sprites based on his GBA games. v0.5a switched over to new sprites edited from Kirby Super Star Ultra, but the change was incomplete, and Kirby switched back to GBA sprites during certain attacks as a result.

In the demo before victory screens were properly introduced, Kirby had a victory pose using GBA sprites already programmed into the game. As victory screens did not exist yet, and the pose was replaced with Kirby's updated sprites by the time they did, this pose can't be seen in normal gameplay.

I added those as mere jokes, also, because in the end they are also trivialities. The one from the demo on my birthday was added after I was making counts on the demo releases and I always look at the dates. The leak one was because SSF2 was a victim of it, and mine was so insignificant it played no importance whatsoever, that's exactly what a trivia is.

yeah okay let me add my piece of trivia the dojo was updated once during my birthday with "Special Moves" i was out in the forest near my grandparent's cabin and almost get killed by a f*** bear and i came back all thirsty and see the post being posted that day this piece of trivia it's INCREDIBLY important to the history of ssf2

Hmm... OK whatever you say. Updated the trivia with new bits.

You should probably fix the trivia where it says "I" and "me" by giving the proper names.
