The game plot of SSF2 is pretty similar to the original Super Smash Bros game series. In SSF2, the health of each character is determined by the level of damage it encounters. More damage means more risk. SSF2 provides two game play modes for matches: Stock and Time Mode. Players can also use the combination of the two to play. Stock Mode provides a chosen number of lives to each player and for every KO or self-destruct, the player loses a life. After losing all the lives, the character is defeated and the survivor wins. In Time Mode, the player receives a point when he/she knocks out an opponent, and loses when the reverse happens. In a tie, a Sudden Death match will determine the winner. As this game is updated regularly, the information given here will change accordingly. For movements and to perform attacks players can use the following controls. SSF2 Characters - Starter Each SSF2 character or fighter represents a specific universe and fight each other to win. The game mode of SSF2 represents two types of characters: Starter Characters (accessible from the beginning of the game) and Unlockable Characters (these are available after completion of certain stages or conditions). The players can also use Expansion Characters or Downloadable Content (DLC) to play against each other. SSF2 Current Playable Stages In addition to the stages, SSF2 also provides Comet Observatory, Freezeflame Galaxy and Good Egg Galaxy collectively known as Galaxy Tours. Game Modes
