How come almost every1 here hates items? Yeah im good with no items, but you kno, playing with no items on the same level is kinda annoying to me, no offence to anyone, pls dont take it the wrong way

brawl has many stages and stuff, why not use them???

Most people on this site are playing Brawl competitively. Winning means first to them, so they choose the most fair things for a good match. Items, while some may find them fun, aren't good when you are playing to win.

I was cool with items in Melee. Well I was cool with them in my 4 person FFA but no the Brawl items are ridiculous powerful and downright game changing. Items went from decent skill to almost none.

Well I would have to say people don't use items because it gives them an equal playing field, beside the strengths or weakness of the character. Let say you have two life left and the other person has one at 100% and he knocks you off the edge their no way you can reach the edge; while you're trying to get back to the edge a heart randomly appears making the game becoming a even match. It should be a game based off skill rather then getting certain items based on luck. When playing competitively.

Sometimes it's fun to play with items, but I see what you mean about the levels. Some of the old levels are great and all. I got brawl to see what they would do with the new fighting systle of each character and making your own stages sounded fun.

QFT. The point of this site is to learn to play competitively, learn new ATs, strategies, etc. Many people who like to play competitively have more fun with now items on because they like to make conditions as fair as possible.

Items don't really bother me in a FFA. I let it up to the other players to decide that. It usually ends up boiling down to no items or just Smash Balls. Same with stages. There are a few I can't stand at all, though.

I'm much more picky in a 1v1, though.

I think that if you get a challenge then it should be no items.... but... if you are playing with a bunch of people then why not???? its more crazy and fun with them in groups!!!!!

We don't hate items, or the stages we ban for that matter. The thing is, they can be too random or can give an unfair advantage, and when money's on the line you don't want any of that getting in the way.
