It's official, items must be banned from tournaments.

[Proven]

Someone might have posted this video or another video similar to this while I was away from Smashboards, but hey, it's worth a shot: http://youtube.com/watch?v=o5TgR2_gmcw

Start at 0:45 and see something worse than Falco's laser lock.

 

[Darkurai]

Okay, then we ban that item.

Why are we banning all of them now?

 

[Lord Viper]

Very impresive, but some tournments have items on regardless.

 

[DeuceBlade]

What did this prove that people have already complained about.

 

[ShortAssassin]

There was no question in the first place of whether or not items would be banned lol.

lol @ tourny***s

 

[Nuvia]

Wow, something you could do in 64 and Melee!

 

[Ledger_Damayn]

Lol, the ever annoying Ray Gun got buffed? Ya, I'm looking forward to auto-locking that item from the get go.

Not quite as insane as bumpers with 2x damage though. That video was pure win.

 

[webrunner]

I remember when the word "official" actually meant something.

 

[Ruggeth]

Items had the inevitable fate of being banned to start with.

If a tourney user cant dodge a fan, that fan is banned.

 

[HeroXL]

You have to DI up against that item. At the LA tourney yesterday someone got me in a lock with that and I got out of it before it KO'd me. It's not THAT bad.

 

[Losnar]

There's nothing wrong with that item.

Just don't get shot! Cowards.

 

[verditude]

1. It's escapable.
2. Even if that item is broken, ban just it.

 

[§leepy God]

I love that item. XD
But items are suppose to help you win no matter how cheap it may be.

 

[GamerGuitarist7]

that's happened to me far too many times lol

 

[Rhubarbo]

All items will be banned in most tournaments. Play Smash however you want. THAT IS WHY THERE ARE OPTIONS!

 

[Vicious Delicious]

Shield, dodge, DI, and/or counter. Why is that so hard to grasp?

 

[PXG]

For the love of God, not another" items should/shouldn't be in competitive Brawl thread". Please.

Yes, items are random and cheap (we all know that). And no, they will NEVER be in competitive tournaments.

/thread.

 

[comboking]

Items should be banned except maybe the smash ball

 

[Lord Viper]

Items should be banned except maybe the smash ball

Some tournments I've seen had that for some reason. But they have it at either low or mid though.

 

[-Linko-]

All right, we got another item-f@gs vs anti-item-f@gs battle thread.

This just plain sucks

 

[turbo_ja]

giant melee? 8-)

 

[StealthFighterX]

Items= free for all's with friends and online. IF its 1 vs 1 and both are pro you know there wont be any items. They have there place just not ina competitive field.

 

[Ledger_Damayn]

I wonder, what exactly do 90% of the people who say "________ should be banned" mean? Seriously, I expect at least 90% of these complainers have never even attended a tournament before, so a "banning" wouldn't even come close to affecting them.

Even worse, these people then start complaining about how competitive players decide to play the game.

/mini-rant

 

[Tristan_win]

Wait...People are still talking about items being used in tournaments!?

Jeez people give it a rest already and use the **** search option.

 

[Rampage]

This kind of talk makes my blood boil

 

[BlargCow]

Ugh, I hate the ray gun :/

 

[Fanewgie]

Ray guns have always been able to do that.

Like other people have said, just turn that particular item off (and any others that may be easily abused/exploited).

Honestly I can see all items being banned again anyway.

 

[Banjodorf]

Wow, something you could do in 64 and Melee!

Exactly....

And that was a good match.

Olimar ftw.

That last Smashball grab was beautiful.

No items...

Fox only...

jk I'm not going to finish that for the sake of not getting flamed.

But really, I don't think this needed a thread, and people can do what ever they want with the game, casual or competitive.

 

[OrlanduEX]

ITT: Competitive players try to explain to casual players why they don't play with items and casual elitist troll fiercely.

Seriously, Proven. What did you expect would happen here?

 

[TheZizz]

Lame.

I still don't know why they couldn't make the ray gun like in the 64 version, where it shocks you and you really felt the impact, instead of getting pushed around like it's a stupid annoyance.

 

[Lord Viper]

The Ray Gun don't have killing potential like Melee and Brawl. But they should call it a Laser Gun now.

 

[Gymclass_Hero]

Reminds me that they should bring back the 64 gun. I loved the shock effect.

 

[Zodiac]

Freakin A there gonna be banned at tournaments, get used to it.

 

[TOBIYA]

holy s**t that would piss me off. lol.
shine that fgt

 

[Yuna]

Very impresive, but some tournments have items on regardless.

Name 10. *filler*

Thread should've ended here.

 

[phanna]

I find 1:10 far more interesting, as Ganondorf gets hit away into a spawning Smash Ball, which takes damage and dramatically reduces his momentum.

 

[kitsuneboy_geoff]

Raygun lock is pretty easily escapable with DI. I'm sorry, but I haven't been KOed by that technique since I first started playing.
