Before you guys shoot me down for this, hear me out. Think about it. Why exactly are Final Smashes banned in tournaments? Well, there are several reasons, along with the fact that items in general have been banned in tournaments for years.
However, what is the main reason for items being banned? The answer is that since items appear randomly, can sometimes be ludicrously overpowered, and add an element of chance into the battle, that means that they were considered unfair (rightly so, IMO) and were thus banned.
But Final Smash balls aren’t just any old item. In a sense, it appears randomly, but unlike the scenario whereby a bomb appears as you’re unleashing a smash attack, all players have a chance of getting the Smash Ball for their own uses. Yes, some characters are much better at getting it than others, but then again, some characters are much better at gimping opponents than others, so that argument is invalid.
Also, if you had all items on, then they’d get a bit overbearing, and as a result would detract from the fighting part of the game. However, if you put the smash balls on low, then they wouldn’t appear too often, and thus wouldn’t detract from the main part of the game too much.
Besides, you hear people moaning a lot that Brawl’s metagame isn’t developed enough. Adding Final Smashes would help add an extra layer of depth to Brawl, and could make fights a lot more interesting. Granted, it wouldn’t be too great for characters like ZSS, but nonetheless, I think they could be worth a try. What do you think?
