This is Super Smash Flash unblocked: McLeodGaming's original 2006 platform fighter runs above on Ruffle, served from supersmashflash.org itself, so it plays in an ordinary browser tab on a school Chromebook or laptop. Free, no download, no account, and two people can play on one keyboard.
Super Smash Flash: Melee in a browser window, 2006 style
Super Smash Flash is the fan game McLeodGaming's Cleod9 made in Macromedia Flash 8 in 2006. Its title screen says it plainly: it is based on Super Smash Bros. Melee for the Nintendo GameCube, and the characters belong to Nintendo, HAL, Sega, Capcom and the rest. It was a hit on Newgrounds and Armor Games, and this is the Newgrounds version of the file.
The rules are Smash rules. Nobody has a health bar. Every hit raises a damage percentage, and the higher it climbs the further the next hit sends you flying. You lose a life (a stock) when you fly off the edge of the screen, and the last fighter with stocks left wins. Items drop in during a match: we saw a Bob-omb, a beam sword, a heart container and a mushroom in one short game on Dream Land.
The select screen starts with 13 fighters: Mario, Link, Zelda, Samus, Kirby, Pikachu, Fox, Captain Falcon, Mega Man, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Blade, a fan character. Fifteen more squares are question marks. The unlock messages in the file name them: Luigi, Young Link, Jigglypuff, Mewtwo, Mr. Game & Watch, Shadow, Super Sonic, Zero, Cloud, Crono, Lloyd, Naruto, Inuyasha, Mr. Incredible and Blue. Final Destination and Battlefield unlock as well.

How to win more Super Smash Flash matches
- Watch the percentage, not a health bar: Low damage means you are hard to launch. Stay out of the way at high percentages and go for knockouts when the other fighter is above 100%.
- Mix normal and smash attacks: The game's own tip: rack up damage by mixing your Special with normal and smash attacks, then finish with a smash (P plus a direction).
- Knock airborne fighters down: A downward hit on someone in the air is a meteor smash. Over a pit it can end a stock at low damage.
- Mind the edges: Walking off the side costs a stock just like getting launched. On Dream Land, the ground ends sooner than you expect.
- Use the platforms: Hold Down to fall through thin platforms to escape or to chase.
- Start with a level 1 CPU: The CPU card has a level slider. Learn one fighter against level 1, then raise it.
