VTuber Smash is a 2D platform fighter where every fighter is a VTuber. It's in development by the VTuber Smash team.

Each side picks a team of three VTubers, and repeats are allowed. The first one starts, and players swap to a teammate mid-fight. A benched VTuber wins back half of each hit it took. A downed VTuber is DISCONNECTED, and a side loses when all three are down. Every match ends by a knockout. If the clock runs out, overtime starts: nothing resets, hits do double damage, and after 10 seconds the arena drains the fighters until a side is out.

Every VTuber carries one weapon with its own swing and its own shot, plus a special move of their own. Swings and shots can be aimed 30 degrees up or down, and every fighter can double jump. On the pick screen, color boxes recolor each VTuber by body part, and players can make their own VTuber from any drawn head, torso and legs, then choose its weapon and special.

Eight original VTubers are playable in the prototype today, hand-drawn in an anime style with a dark structure line and a glowing outline in each one's signal color. They fight on a moonlit shrine of floating islands with torii gates, lanterns and waterfalls. 50 more original VTubers are in production, and a browser version is being built so the game can be played at vtubersmash.com.
