Currently, there are<strong> seven playable characters<\/strong> in the game, ranging from the musclebound fish-man Fishbujin 3000 to the fiery Goddess of Explosions. The characters all play completely differently from each other.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike most other games based on Smash, the characters are not based on any popular Smash archetypes (like Melee&#8217;s Fox, Marth, or Captain Falcon). Because of this, Smash fans can pick up the game and be surprised by the characters while still being able to acclimate to the gameplay quickly. Arguably the most unique character in the game is Business Casual Man. As he attacks you with various business-y things like rolling chairs, QR codes, and water coolers, he gains money. If he gets enough money, he can use sell attacks, extremely powerful attacks that use up his money. He does this all while screaming business buzzword nonsense like &#8220;VISUALIZE MONETIZATION!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dup8GK9mZas?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The gameplay is a nice middle ground between the fast-paced Melee and the floatier, more accessible Smash 4. Certain advanced techniques from Melee are possible, including wavedashing and SHFFLing (short hop fast fall L-canceling). For people who aren&#8217;t nerds and don&#8217;t care about that stuff, the game is still very accessible and easy to play if you have any familiarity with Smash.<\/p>\n<p>The game also gives each character a chargeable\u00a0aerial smash, something that has never been included in Smash before, which adds many new options to start and finish combos. The game can be played using a keyboard, arcade fight stick, Xbox controller, and for Smash purists, the Gamecube controller.<\/p>\n<p>While the game may look a little rough graphically, we can assure you it plays much better than it looks. And with charming music, a robust online system, and extra modes like Slap Ball, Slap City is a welcome inclusion in any Smash fan&#8217;s library.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [playwire] does not match the conditions -->\n<div class=\"sc-related-articles-white\">\r\n<p class=\"sc-related-articles-white__title\">More from Softonic<\/p>\r\n  <div class=\"sc-related-articles-white__row\">\r\n    <a title=\"Everything we know so far about Super Smash Bros.
