Smoke ball

[SniperRy]

I think it would be fun to have only pitfalls and smoke balls.

Ha pitfalls and smoke! sounds like mass confusion and a lot of self destructs.

 

[Aryman]

I'm thinking you could use the different colors and the ability to walk around with them to design some really nice works of art

 

[Frogla]

I thought Japan learned there lesson with "Electric Soldier Porygon". Oh well more nerdy kids getting flash sezures.

 

[SpitFire15]

The smoke ball seems pretty useless. I'll most likely turn it off along with the banana when Brawl comes out.

 

[DonkeyPirate]

I know there will be a few pitfall/gooeybomb/smokeball/bananapeel matches before we turn off the items

 

[1337marth]

Im gunna have fun in Training Mode...hehehe

Yeah put like 10 smoke balls at once....lol

 

[Frogla]

Wait just a thought since this item gives neither player an advantage wouldnt it be legal in tournament play.

Nah, people would turn it off anyway just because it's an item. Besides, you can throw it at people

Plus, lag is bad for you.

 

[SWORDMASTER66]

I like this item, it is one of those items that you can just fool around with, which is what I do in a match with items on, fool around. I'm going to try writing my tag SM66 with it.

Smoke Ball's and bombs on very high equals amazing fun. Think about a stage covered in smoke and you'll have no idea where the bombs are. Also I can charge Samus' laser in the smoke. I'm most excited about carrying the ball around the stage covering it in smoke.

 

[Sugoi]

It could be an item that has the same effect as Togepis nightshade from Melee mabe...

Edit: I'm a Smash Journeyman now, interesting.

I like items like this and the Pit Fall because they don't heal nor hurt. Tactical aspect and functions always make combat more interesting and require more thought. Could just be me, but I like this update. Obviously just stading still in the smoke won't help with concealing your image, but it can help make things more difficult to predict. (Which can end up working against the player who dropped it.)

I totally agree with this. I hate healing items, and damaging items always just seem like an extra way to attack, which we don't really need. Items that are fully strategic are my favorite too. Lets all prey for more!

 

[BigRick]

The more interesting items IMO are the ones that allow you to control space with. This opens up opportunities for combination attacks.

ATs, Pokeballs, the Bumper.

Items that give secondary effects are also good on a tactical standpoint. But be sure to make the effect good enough so that the item doesn't become obsolete.

Smoke Ball is kinda meh... hiding the whole screen with a Nintendog is much more cooler IMO.

 

[Ess oh Aytch]

@_@ items are completely worthless in competitive play

 

[khold]

We now know that Ganondorf, Sheik, Peach, Meta Knight, and Snake are in Brawl, but none of them have a profile.

*gasp*

did I miss something?

 

[-Foggy-]

In article on GameInformer with Aonuma, Aonuma made a comment about models for Ganondorf and Shiek.

 

[BigRick]

@_@ items are completely worthless in competitive play

No, they're not.

 

[Ess oh Aytch]

Yes, in fact, they are. Not one item is used in competitive play in Melee, and I doubt any would be made legal in Brawl either. They're too random and spontaneous for a fair match.

 

[Truegamer#1]

Yeah put like 10 smoke balls at once....lol

it will probably lag,
the smoke ball would be a better use if the smoke got you dizzy and unable to move for 5 seconds or something, like breaking a shield you know

You can't tell what will happen.

Melee tournaments used to have items.

I see, thanks.

 

[Pyroloserkid]

IMO, it looks like a fun but useless item. I don't see how it could benefit anyone.
Also, I think we don't need a thread for every little update. ***What's going on with Smashbros.com*** works just as well.

not really since people get off topic alot in there

 

[Chibirobo]

It seems fun to use and to look at,but kind of boring.I think the main reason Sakurai showed it was because most people though he would show Peach after friday's update,so he showed this instead to mindgame us!(Sakurai trying to mess with,no,I've never heard of such a thing!)

 

[Legolastom]

Use this with the pit fall and Falcon punch and you have a WIN!

 

[Dynamism]

I'd like a little thread for each one, just ONE each though.
Like the smoke ball, you can't compare it to anything else so it needs it's space...It's SWEEET!!!

more ninja moves to come lol

 

[Pluvia's other account]

They never add character profiles on a Monday.

[Diemonds]

^^^^ LOL

the whole point of the smoke ball is fo offense not defense say im chargin up a Smash Attack the smoke makes it so u cant see wat im doin

 

[DainBramaged]

LMAO @ Kirby Kid

Edit~ Smoking kills

 

[axemangx]

I love Kirbys expression when hes getting hit.


EDIT: Tournament banned, yup.

 

[Eight Sage]

EDIT: Tournament banned, yup.

Why? nothing should be banned, even the smoke ball or the banana peel. If the SB is banned, then we'll start banning all the disturbing items, and that means lack of strategies.

 

[E123Omega]

It would be awesome if you hit the Smoke Ball with a Home-Run Bat, then it hits somebody and activates.

In case you've been living in a cave during melee's lifespan you would have noticed that most of the items and some stages are banned from tournament play..

LOL, yeah I know....

you would have noticed that most of the items and some stages are banned from tournament play..

and thats a HUGE mistake. If u are good, then you won't have problem playing w/ them.

 

[Circus]

That's a good frame of mind to have. . . .




Until an explosive crate pops in front of you as you're loading up a Falcon Punch.

 

[Paranoid_Android]

LOL, yeah I know....

Wrong. Items introduce chance, which means luck, to a game. You can cite Poker till my head explodes, but that doesn't change the fact that the more luck is in the game, the less skill is in the game. The chance spawns and exploding capsules, as well as the randomness of the items themselves make them really bad for tournament play.

In any case, it's a non-issue. Some people will leave them on, others will turn them off. Choice is good.
