What do you miss the most about never playing with items anymore?

[Pogogo]

When I play meele with younger cousins or family friends I often forget to turn items on (and like hyrule) and it made me think about how much of the game I don't play anymore.

 

[Divinokage]

Play how you will, nobody is forcing you to do otherwise... Cool story though.

 

[ETWIST51294]

Pokeballs.

Everything off

just pokeballs.

 

[Pogogo]

Well actually both of my friends who played smash since the game came out would never play with items becaseu they didnt like the randomness. It was the exploding capsules that set him over the edge.

I miss throwing electrodes even though i would almost always kill myself

 

[Divinokage]

I miss being able to actually use a sword...

 

[Mr Wizzrobe]

Hyrule was a silly level.

As we all know, by joining Smashboards, you have to take a blood oath to never turn on items again.

Glad someone said it

If you've ever done it, playing with items on every once in a while with other competitive Smashers is mad fun. People should do it more often.

 

[-ShadowPhoenix-]

no its not...
im right and everyone who disagrees is wrong

 

[KirbyKaze]

items are fine as long as it's a casual match and everyone knows it's a casual match lol

 

[CloneHat]

I sometimes turn items on when my little sister or really casual friends are playing.

And they remind me that they should be turned off. They were introduced to the game playing without items (by me), and turning them on is a step down gameplay-wise in their eyes.

 

[Pogogo]

Man u guys are hijacking my thread. Of course items "suck" and make the game "worse". It supposed to be a "back in the good ol days" kinda thread I know some people got into smash as a competive game purely but I would say the majority are old school nintendo fanboys and the abillity to control a flock of beedrill is the greatest feeling ever. And who could forget hitmonlee that for some reason says "primape". I mean this is 64 but u know what I mean. Obviously, its hard to get the same feeling now. I wouldnt even say its a blood oath to never use items. Its kinda of like how taking a stats class ruins the fun of roulette.

 

[The Tycon]

You can't go wrong with fans and bumpers.

this. The crew i am part of have done items on FFA just for poops and chuckles, and it was actually pretty fun.

so long as they're not serious matches do whatever you find fun, there's options built into the game for a reason lol

 

[Pogogo]

You just reminded me of something. I don't know if you ever played DOTA(the original HOEN and LOL) but they had this game mode called wtf mode where all spells had no cooldown or mana cost. And at the start it would say "This mode is for FUN only". As opposed to the other modes.

 

[darkatma]

there are no bumpers in melee.

 

[_wzrd]

post genesis 2, shoyo, fuzzyness, kou, toph, vish & I did a few MM's with pokeballs on max.

**** WAS ****ING HYPE.

i got *****. I suck with items, I started with playing brawl & the only item we used was smash balls hahah

good *** sets though LOL

 

[crush]

Playing with items on hyrule<playing a 4 player free for all everybody plays ice climbers with items on ness's target test stage in action replay

 

[Melomaniacal]

Honestly, some of the most fun I've had in tournaments is playing two stock, two minute, all stages, free-for-all first-to-five's with people.

Granted, it's a different kind of fun.

The Ganon challenge is the most legit thing about this game. Sometimes.

I used to play so much with items. My family had the specific "fair" items on. Items like the starman and super/mini mushroom were off. Items like star rod, sword, parasol were on. When my brother got a parasol my blood would freeze. He was amazing at using that one item somehow haha... I miss using items sometimes.

 

[Geist]

I played with items the other day
There's nothing wrong with turning items on a screwing around. Especially in tourney friendlies
Flatzone son

 

[Thimo]

We (at my house) had several "fair" items turned on, eg. parasol, beam sword etc. Made it hella fun.
The first time I played vs someone without items, I was like waiting for an item to drop... and got owned in the process. Was such a noob haha. Good times.

 

[Hydro_Smasher]

the only reason I ever turn on items now is if 2 kids who see my and my friend playing competitively want to play.

we just set them down and turn on items and watch the n00bliness begin

"STOP RUNNING AWAY"
"THIS STAGE SUCKS (final destination)"
"DUDE NO FAIR, THE HAMMER BROKE"
"AW YEAH I GOT THE LASER GUN!"

it reminds me when I was 8 years old and played with items. good times.

 

[Mr.Jackpot]

I still play with them sometimes, motion sensor bombs are my favorite because they're powerful but really strategic.

 

[MuraRengan]

Melee w/ items is soooo fun. I thought that Brawl w/ items would be fun, but it's actually even less fun.

 

[Zodiac]

team match, 20 stock a peice, super sudden death, ba-bombs and poke balls!

THIS IS WHAT NON SMASHBOARD PEOPLE ACTUALLY BELIEVE

melee with items is fun as hell stilllll

 

[Delaro]

Taking two items at a time, with ICs of course.

 

[Bones0]

"WHERE DID THAT MOTION SENSOR LAND?!?!"

*both of us spend the next 2 minutes jumping up and down in place trying to hit eachother into it*

oh lawdy

Don't forget that anybody vs jiggs matchup with items.
>Jiggs on the floor in front of you for a moment, opportunity
>Try to jab
>Slowly pick up crate that inconveniently falls right on top of you
>rest :fuuu:

 

[the green baron]

green shells and hitting someone using the hammer offstage and watch them tumble to their doom.

 

[mesa23]

these past couple of weekends, me and my friends have been doing hyrule matches with a ****load of items on. it's too much fun.

 

[Gaggy Rogers]

Pokeballs.

What this feller said.
