Hey guys,
I noticed ironically that the largest and biggest Smash Bros tournament has included a portion of Classic Smash Bros items matches on stages and what-not...
I found this too be quite exciting.
Me and my friends have been wanting a "For Items" tournament, based around the real, traditional Smash Bros,
with items, stage hazzards, weapons, moves, etc...
I know this was attempted before, and i know they stopped doing it, because alot of Competitive Melees from Gamecube couldn't really handle all the mechanics involved competitively: meaning the dodging, defensive and offensive gameplay required in the real core game, outside of the "no items" meta-game. And also because of tripping apparently...
With-that said, I am really suprised Nintendo would embrace something that really would have been great to pursue...
So i believe this may lead to a revival of Competitive play based around the full game...
I know some people will claim its too hard or random, but the reality is you have to face off against more game mechanics, and use alot of different skills to win, in comparison to the "no items", "moves only", meta-game....
So either this is the beginning of something more?
Or maybe the core, traditional Smash Bros fans that play the full game: "items, stages, moves, hazzards, weapons" way
don't really care about this type of competition.... Though i think the Smash Tournament changed that a little...
Everybody had a great time and enjoyed watching!
So what do you think? Do you think this could branch off into more Competitive competitions based around the core game? Or is competitive Smash "too niche" for the majority of gamers that play the traditional, real items way?
-Sound off in the comments below, cheers.
