Smash Champion
Hello all, I haven't been here in a while though over the past month I have been poking around on the new Smashboards, mostly thanks to Project M. It looks fantastic and it how Brawl should have been made by Nintendo to begin with (though I haven't had the opportunity to actually play it ).
Anyway, I know that items have always been banned on tournament settings, but I was wondering has anyone considered using Project M as a way to make items actually viable for tournaments? I mean, the two main arguments against items are 1) they spawn randomly and 2) they are unbalanced/too powerful. Well, Project M could potentially solve both of those issues. I'm not sure how much has been discussed regarding items in Project M but I think it wouldn't hurt to brainstorm a bit and see where it goes.
I'm not trying to start flame wars, I'm really just curious about how this could be done. As an example most shooting games have weapons that spawn on the map on timers. A similar concept could be applied to Smash in that specific items only appear in specific ways at specific times during a game. It could add a whole new level to Smash that we haven't seen before.
