Edit:sry to try and be funny. this post means nothing I guess. people weren't suppose to care. I just didn't want to argue about different factors outside of hammers. and now the page has gotten outa hand. Peace and whatever.

EDIT: You know what? I'm not even going to bother. I'm not going to get into an argument over a ****ing beam sword with someone who likes to throw ridiculous assumptions in my face regardless if they think they're true or merely just for insult purposes.

EDIT: wtf happened in this thread?
I was trying to be funny.... but it was more of mean humor I guess. So I removed it. I apologize....... I just didn't like any of these side conversations..... and I wanted to remove them. Sorry. my b.

I was just angry at all of the distractions to the topic that were taking place. I tried to make a past that says "your opponent has a hammer, so what do you do?"..... and the majority is now talking about wether a hammer is gay or not. I don't care if someone doesn't like an item, they are all in the game, and if they don't play with them, then it doesn't concern them to begin with. It doesn't advance anyone's game b stating it, yet finding a way around it does.

I want to generally disagree with Nixxin on the fact that half his statements are wrong. A hammer can't kill you in two hits..... only players that let it happen dies that way. He's wrong about fireballs, and mario's best weapon against the hammer is Up-B, not a projectile that gets absorbed by a swinging hammer. Plz, just read the guide before you comment again.

I want to have some sort of neutral statement or assumption........ yet everyone is going off and not answering the question. So, I failed to follow my own purpose.

How about somebody does a nice TAS against a bunch of computers with hammers to demonstrate how to beat them?
It's been done:

With TAS, you can pretty much get between each swing, making special "anti-hammer moves" largely unnecessary. It's the limits of human reaction time that make the hammer so powerful outside of TAS.

The method s2j pointed out with shielding at the edge and fastfalling works great (and looks cool). With Falcon especially, if they try to mindgame you with a jump, simply Usmash. Awesome.
