What Is the Project Crusade Community Forum for Super Smash Bros. Crusade?
Project Crusade Community is the discussion forum for Super Smash Bros. Crusade, a fan-made Smash-style fighting game. It is where the game's developers post public updates and where players talk about characters, stages, game modes, custom content, online matches, and bugs. If you want to follow development, suggest ideas, report problems, or find people to play against, this is the board to use. You can read most of it without an account, but posting requires registering and reading the Global Forum Rules first.
What the forum is
The site describes itself as "the forum for the Super Smash Bros Crusade fangame." It runs on a standard forum platform with topic and post counts per board, and it notes that JavaScript must be enabled for the full experience. The board list shows activity dating from at least 2015 through 2024, so it is a long-running community rather than a new project page.

How to use it
- Read the Global Forum Rules. The board list explicitly asks new members to read the rules before posting.
- Pick the right board. Character ideas go to Character Discussion, stage ideas to Stage Discussion, mode ideas to Game Mode Discussion, and general suggestions to the Suggestion Board. Off-topic chat belongs in the Tea Room or The Arcade.
- Check the Developer Blog before asking about updates. It is the developers' designated place to post about game updates "when the time comes," so it is the authoritative source for news.
- Search before posting. The forum has a search function with options to display results as posts or topics, plus an advanced search — useful because the Character Discussion board alone has over 15,000 posts.
- To play online, use the Online Lobby. That board is where members share Evolve and LogMeIn Hamachi networks to challenge each other, and where tournaments can be started.
- Report problems in the Bug Report Board rather than in general threads, so reports stay findable.
Practical things to know
- The community is unevenly active. Some boards show recent posts (The Arcade's latest listed post is from April 2024), while others have been quiet for years (Stage Discussion's latest listed post is from February 2019). Expect faster answers in Character Discussion and General Discussion than in Custom Content.
- Suggestions are moderated for plausibility. The Suggestion Board states that suggestions "must make some amount of sense to constitute a thread," so low-effort idea posts may be removed.
- Online play depends on third-party tools. The forum itself does not host matchmaking; it is a place to exchange Evolve or LogMeIn Hamachi network details, which means you need one of those tools set up before the lobby threads are useful to you.
- No pricing is mentioned anywhere on the page. Nothing in the board list indicates paid access, but the page also does not state that anything is free — treat access terms as unconfirmed and check the rules and announcements for any current requirements.
If your goal is simply to learn what Crusade is, the General Discussion and Developer Blog boards will tell you the most in the fewest reads. If your goal is to contribute — a character idea, a bug report, a custom stage — go straight to the matching board and follow its posting norms.
