Super Smash Bros. Showdown

Super Smash Bros. Showdown was a Super Smash Bros.-themed full game created by Xihark, from the defunct VGAForums website, using the M.U.G.E.N engine. Released around 2007, the game is based on Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo Gamecube, incorporating gameplay elements from this game into the MUGEN engine.

Gameplay
The gameplay is based loosely on Super Smash Bros. The game's main mechanic introduces the concepts of knocking characters off-stage, shields, shield breaks, and shield rolls, while retaining 2D fighter gameplay, making for an interesting mix of gameplay concepts.

The characters from this game are edited to incorporate these aspects, while making adjustments to their damage output and knockback, in order to promote the use of the off-stage mechanics. While most of the characters from this game are offline, a few have resurfaced on the internet since the game was taken down in late 2007.
