The tier list exists whether it's talked about or not. Since the beginning of time, man has rated stuff. Tier lists aren't really a good thing, because they cause a lot of simpletons to limit themselves to one or two characters. But there's really no way to stop them, and you can't really get...

Ok, I follow. I was arguing, however, that the items might be necessary for competitive play, and the eventual point was basically what I'm arguing in this thread: many people have complained at length about Brawl's engine, but very few people have suggested altering the way we play the game to...

These threads are shot down every time, and I really don't get why. They aren't inciting a flamewar, they suggest a different way to play, backed up with observational facts. Then they get bashed by one or two forum veterans before getting closed without explanation. I had a thread I opened up...

Gets me to thinking, if changing the gametype like this makes more characters reasonably viable but eliminates some in the upper tier... That is to say, imagine there's a way of playing the game that basically makes, say, Snake and Meta Knight completely useless, but more or less balances the...

A friend and I have been experimenting with a limited set of items in tourney-style fights (items being Green Shell, Lip's Stick, Banana Peel, Mr. Saturn, Springboard, Motion Sensor bomb, and occasionally Franklin Badge. I might have missed one or two, but you understand what we were going for)...

"everyone, the argument is subjective, everyone has different opinions about different things, let's all hold hands." The internet thrives on arguments and disagreements and opinions. If anyone does not type up a Melee/Brawl post with the knowledge that the post, no, the entire argument is...

Fast heavy is probably my favorite, but usually we just turn some of the items on and play on the custom stages. Also, Coin Battle...stop laughing, I'm serious...Coin Battle is actually pretty awesome.

Nice trolling, L. You're such an internet badass that you inject your pointless values into threads that had nothing to do with brawl's competitive validity. Serves them right for having fun talking about Brawl.

I play Ness because I heart Earthbound, and Dedede is by far my favorite addition to Brawl because he's always been my favorite Kirby character. But I usually pick characters with preference only to how uncommon they are, and not usually because I love the series...kind of because I have played...

Yeah, I know what you're saying. The scrub deal's something I've been through, and it really did take me a while to see any merit in tourney play at all, tho I did eventually learn to play Melee with items off on neutral levels. Heck, most of the time I do that in Brawl. I'm just waxing on a...

Man, each passing minute I feel less and less awesome. There goes my Sunday night, man.

All I know is, we have 100+ posts about Heavy Brawl, how awful the state of the game is, and just general complaints. We have people who want to hack into the game and remove what they don't like. I at least wanted to see some wacky responses and insults before being drowned out by todays...

While I think the EVO Brawl rules are a little over the top, they bring up the interesting point of maybe items being more balanced than a lot of us originally assumed. Not all of them by a long shot, but I argue that a limited item set could very well be a good thing. Before you hit me, let...

Hardcore.

Hey, boss, that's awesome how you tried to turn my own reasoning against me, but it just doesn't work like that. I have no problems with playing with items off or on, I'll play any stage in any game mode as any character. I adore 1v1 on final destination with items off, it just gets OLD...
