1.2.1
Players can now select “All Stages On/Off” button on Random Stage Switch with the in-game cursor

1/25/19: Fixed: If player unlocks weren't the same, there was a chance of them causing desyncs in online matches.

1)When creating a room, there should be a checkbox that says “1v1”. Choosing this option will automatically close the room as soon as another player is accepted into the room.

	Quote: Master Wex A better idea would be to have a +/- how many player you want where the game remembers what choice you last chose

(edit 8-6-18, already implemented, woot!)

2)Checkbox option to save room name when you are creating a room, or a drop down menu with the last 5 room names you used, as well as saving the room options.

3)More room filter choices in addition to what we have now, full list would look like this:
Battle type: N/A, Time Only, Stock with no time limit, Stock + time limit, Stock with any time setting
Items: N/A, on, off
Hazards: N/A, on, off
Friends only: No, Yes
Max # of Players: 2, 3, 4
Password: No, Yes
Special modes: No, Yes
Ping: Low, Med, Any (or alternatively make an option for region location filtering)

...and these filter settings should be SAVED between sessions of the game, or if you X out.

4)Client-side in-game Friend list, which causes a gold star icon to appear before their room names, or just make their room names come up in a different colored font. You should be able to add friends by either clicking an “Add Friends” button from the lobby and typing in their MGN account, or by adding them from the results screen from a match.

5)When creating a room, the pop-up window should be wide enough so that it matches the length of Room names column visible in the lobby table. EDIT 3/22/20: And the pop-up window should explain how changing the Latency and Input Delay will affect the game.

6)Reformat the table in the Lobby with all the rooms listed so that the columns have a better widths:
"Room Name" colum should be wider.
"Private", "Players", and "Latency" columns all should be narrower.

7)When you first click “Create Room” make the cursor automatically default to the Room name field instead of having to first manually click inside that appropriate field before you can type.

8)After typing in your Room name, make it so you can press Start/Enter to go ahead and create the room without a password without having to click “Create Room”. And make it so that you can press Tab to switch from the Room name field to the Password field.

9)After you first login to Online, sort the rooms automatically by newest room on top (instead of oldest room first) if there is no default/saved sorting. EDIT 3/22/20: Otherwise sort the list by the previous method clicked on by the user.

10)After you first login to Online, if you press Start/Enter without moving the cursor, it should automatically open Create Room. EDIT 3/22/20: And if you type R it should Refresh the room list

11)To prevent too many people joining the room,option to accept opponent in room and immediately close room.
So options would be “Accept”, “Accept and Start/Lock match” , and “Decline”
Instead of: Accept? “Yes” and “No”
Also the match should start automatically once the host is in the waiting room and the other players have selected their character, instead of having host to press start again in the waiting room. Or if the other people have chosen their characters already first before stage is picked, then when the host picks the stage it should go straight into the match instead of loading the waiting room.

12)In-room text chat, with an option to turn it on and off altogether, or limit it to character selection/waiting room time. If someone has chat disabled, if you try to write a message you’ll get an auto-response saying chat-disabled. This is huge and would greatly grow the community and make the game stand out from the regular Smash games!!

13)When someone joins the room, change the sound to something more classic and LOUDER, so if you have the game running in the background (ie browsing the web while you wait for someone to join) then you’ll know by the "Challenger Approaching" classic alarm from melee/brawl or ding-dang-chhha sound from the original SSB

14)While in the waiting room, and you’re practicing solo, if someone joins sometimes you’ll accidentally decline because you were pressing keys without realizing someone joined. To fix this, make it so that once the “___ wants to join the match” notification message pops up, it stops accepting all inputs for 1 second while you get a chance to read the screen.

15)Ability to use cursor to press "online free for all" to set team battle, and cursor should work on the Red arrows left and right to set how many players for the survival fest, instead of having to use the mouse to manually click it.

16)If you make a room and no one is joining, make a way so you can exit out without restarting the game. Or the ability to view the lobby while you are idling in Waiting room, to see if someone made a room you'd like to join instead. So if you click Join Room from there, it'll auto-close your own room. (edit 8-6-18)

17)After an online match ends and you exit a room, then start/join a new room, make it so that it defaults to the same character you picked last time along with the previous color you chose for that character, and tag.

18)When someone tries to join your room, it should include their Ping and/or region in the “____ wants to join a match” notification.

When online freezes or disconnects, often restarting the game is the only solution. While the bugs are worked out that cause this to happen in the first place, the following can help, or make restarting less of a time-consuming chore.

19)Restart game from within game
By pressing certain buttons together (such as Ctl+Alt+R), the game should restart to the main menu (not to the very first loading screen/checking for updates/intro movie).
This’ll be helpful if the game freezes due to target test bug or mid-match, or too many players joined the room, or you selected the wrong stage.

20)Send crash/bug report
If the game crashes, or you restart it mid-match, then a dialog box should come up asking “Would you like to submit a crash report? Yes/No” . Default choice would be No (press Enter/start/click to bypass), but if you choose Yes, then another window will pop-up allowing you to write out details and circumstances of the crash, while the game itself will automatically take and submit a screenshot and all the Variables current values, and replay if available. Or if a bug occurs mid-match, but the game hasn't crashed, you can press certain buttons together (like Ctl+Alt+B) to send the report. Also if you get the message “Error, match timed out” then you should have option to send a report as well.
This would be a lot easier and more useful than going to the Forums "SSF2 Beta Bug Report/Troubleshooting Thread" or the
“Help Us Hunt Desyncs!” threads.
Some people may not be interested in sending crash reports though, so an option to disable sending crash reports would be good.

21)Holding down the “start” button at initial loading screen to bypass all the messages and intro video, instead of having to click repeatedly through each thing. EDIT 3/22/20: Also there should be a menu option that you can choose so that going forward each time you load the game it goes straight to the main menu instead of all the loading menus/intro video.

22)Game should remember ALL last menu choices.
For example at the main menu, if the last option you chose was “Online”, then the next time you go to the main menu (even after x-ing out and restarting the game) the “Online” option will be the default, instead of “Group”
Also if you have the online rooms Sorted by “Players”, this should be remembered next time you go to the lobby (so you don't have to sort the lobby every single time you login online). Additionally it should remember your Filter choices for the Online Lobby (edit 7-14-18)

23)Option to Save password for logging in Online, with a warning that says “McLeod Gaming is not responsible for any lost or hacked passwords”.

24)Option to disable special modes in online games altogether. This would then automatically filter out any rooms that have Special Modes option turned on when creating the room. And also when hosting a room, it'll bypass that Online Special Smash or Online Arena selection screen from showing up.

25)Type in your tag in addition to being able to use the old flip-phone style texting. And to save your tags so you don’t have to keep retyping them.

26)Displaying tags at character select, victory results screen, and below your character icon/percent/stocks remaining during a match.

27)If you have Music turned off, the Intro Movie music should be silent as well.

28)At the character select screen, when you hold “B” to go back, there should be an indicator showing how long the button has to be held to go to the previous menu.

29)Move the “Remember Me” checkbox and text (from the Online login menu) lower and further away so that you don’t accidentally click on that when trying to click on the Password field or the “Login!” button.

30)When you first open the Online login menu, make the cursor automatically default to the Username field if the “Remember Me” box is not checked, or to the Password field if it is. Instead of having to first manually click inside that appropriate field before you can type.

31)Option to autosave replays after matches, both offline and online matches.
File name should come up in following format with date, time, player names (MGN account name or tag), & characters:
“MM-DD-YY HHMM P1 tag(character) v P2 tag(character).ssfrec”
This would help tournaments so much! (already added, nice work!)

32)In the Random Stage Switch menu, in addition to “On” and “Off” for each stage, another option should be “Counterpick”. Any stage set to counterpick (via an additional option in the Random Stage Switch Menu) will be available starting the 2nd match on random, and will not come up on the first match if random is selected on the stage select screen.

33)Sometimes its hard to find the stage you are looking for on the Stage selection screen. So an option on Stage selection screen to display only those stages set to ON in the Random Stage Switch menu. And below the row of stages set to “On”, it should display the row of stages set to “Counterpick”. The game should also remember this option if you restart the game.

33)Option to Set CPU DI/SDI after being put in hitlag (before launch):
none, up, up-right, right, down-right, down, down-left, left, up-left, random (edited 7-14-18)

34)Option to Set CPU response immediately after its hitstun ends:
none, jump, shield/airdodge, attack, random

35)Option to Set CPU teching/wake-up direction (EDIT 3/22/20 thanks TSF.Strife for the wake-up portion!):
none, left, right, in-place, jump, random

36)Option to view Hitboxes:
on, off

37)Option to view Hurtboxes:
on, off

38)Additional option in the Speed setting:
Frame-by-Frame (where you have to click an on-screen button to move forward to next frame, or press a dedicated keyboard button)

39)EDIT 3/25/20 Idea credit to CraftGMC: Add a method to control the CPU character to repeat a certain action to make it easier to test things like "Does X clank with Y?" or "Is X faster than Y?" For example, borrow some code from the save/load replay function and make it so that you can record a few seconds of keyboard inputs, which can then put on repeat for the CPU while you control your own character. Or add more options to the "CPU Action:" setting to expand from Idle, Chase, Evade, Jump, Walk, Run, Human, Attack, to include things such as F-Smash, Neutral B, Shield, Short hop D-Air, etc.

40)EDIT 3/25/20 Idea credit to CraftGMC: An option to toggle staleness

40)EDIT 3/25/20 Idea credit to BandanaDeeMain: An option to give yourself damage to make Lucario easier to test death percents and the like

an option to limit the characters you can select
the characters you disable or "ban" can be re-enabled in the menu, but only by the host
you will be able to see which characters are banned before you enter the room via a box labelled "banned characters" and the stock icons of each character banned



be able to see who your opponent is playing as in the lobby smash 4 style
But instead of saying "Ready!" it should say "Waiting..." when they are in the waiting room


three online lobbies
1 for regular plays and free for alls
1 for competitive plays, 1v1s and tournaments
and 1 for parties and joke lobbies and that stuff
the lobbies show up like tabs at the top of the screen
this actually helps a lot for people who aren't looking for serious battles and just wanna have some fun
this may not be easy to implement but it's a nice idea
