As you all may know, Brawl is one of the most anticipated games coming out. I recently joined a gaming club in my school, and everyone there gets all defensive whenever I want to play an item tournament in Melee.
I am a user of items, and I find this kind of interesting to look up. I have found some opinions from my friends, and from NSider.
Pros- Makes the game more fun. Come on, I know that you can't resist luring someone to a MSB.
- Requires more skill, as if you are good with AND without items, then you're probably a good player if you can win with different rules.
- Fun > Fair
Cons- It takes no skill with items on.
Feel free to suggest additions to the list, as I do not know that much as of now.
I think the main problem is how people get serious over a game like Smash. Yes, it's a great competitive game, and to really test your skills, you need to be able to own someone with the same conditions for both players. I think I see something wrong with this. Everyone always plays on Final Destination with no items, and they call that real skill. If you're the master of Final Destination, but you suck at other stages, are you really a good player? Probably not in my eyes.
"But wut about teh Gimmikz in da other levels?"
I think that if you have real skill, you will be able to adapt to every stage, anticipating all the stuff that happens in the stage. The same applies to items. The Hammer is easy to dodge even in a small area. It just requires more dodging skills. Besides, if the head of the hammer comes off, then sucks for the person who got the hammer.
Like I said before, it's fine to have no item matches that test skill, but I think a skilled gamer would be skilled in both item and non-item matches.
Boy, if the Smash Community plays Brawl just like Melee, then Brawl would just be considered an Online Melee with more Characters and Stages.
I can see it now, Final Smashes and Assist Trophies will be banned, and everyone will be using the Final Stage of Classic Mode.
