Building a Super Smash Bros. Fighting Game in Unity

This course will walk you through building an entire video game hands–on, and will take you step–by–step through the game development process.

Did you grow up playing Super Smash Bros? Are you a fan of classic Nintendo characters? Growing up, I loved playing Super Smash Bros. Melee and always wanted to know how fighting games were made. Now, I make games professionally for a living and have a deep understanding of what goes into making all types of games, including fighting games.

This course is meant to teach you how to build a full fighting game in Unity, even if you are a beginner or have never used Unity before. By the end of this course, you will have a full Super Smash Bros. style game in Unity that you built from the ground up. I will teach you how to develop and animate the following characters using the sprite sheets that I created and provide with this course: Donkey Kong, Mario, Pikachu, Samus, Ice Climbers, Captain Falcon, Bowser, Link, and Sonic.

Each character will have three attacks and be able to jump. Donkey Kong will feature his classic down smash that shakes the camera and sends enemies flying into the air. Mario will throw flaming mushroom projectiles. Pikachu will feature his classing lighting attack, zapping the opposition. Samus will have his charge beam that lets the user build up power and then release a sci–fi blast. The Ice Climbers will be able to freeze enemies and tag team their way to victory. Captain Falcon will use his Falcon Punch to blast enemies. Bowser will be able to spew fire which we will create using Unity’s particle system. Link will have the ability to fire arrows and throw bombs at enemies. Sonic will be able to turn into Super Sonic and blast enemies with energy.
