Fans aren`t that bad, I don`t like cracker launchers though, they are hard to control
so I just through them. I dont like hotheads, they never work. I like pitfalls and mr. freezie.

I like the Ray Gun. If someone is in the a horizontal path of you, and they don't have a fast Up-Special, you can repeatedly blast them off the stage.
But I hate the rolling crates, since I always get pushed off the stage from them.

Why are items so powerful?
This question seems to come up a lot in threads, I've noticed. My theory is that items were powered-up so that an unskilled fighter would have at least some chance of beating a veteran. I think this is also the reason most of the combos and strategies from Melee are gone. As for why they bothered to do this at all...I guess to encourage more online play.

Anyway, my favorite item is the Smash Ball since I've wanted super moves in SSB since the first game.

My least favorite... jeez, there are a few. Food, any gun (though I thought the charged Super Scope was a neat idea), gooey bombs, and springs probably top my list.

My usual item list for Brawls is: Smash ball, Pokéball, assist trophy, heart container, crates, Hothead, and Dragoon.

I like the deku nut because you could chuck it at people and they mostly get stunned by it. An item that I just don't like is the fan. If you are the one who is comboing people with the fan it is fairly funny, but if someone else is doing the same to you...it is just not funny and another story.

My WROST favorite item would have to be the Time Slow down thing. Every time I get it I end up going in slow motion, but when my opponent gets it I still go in slow motion. D=<

favorite- pitfall, pokeball, smashball.

favorite for my opponent- I like when my opponents get curry, or the hammer. curry is free health, and hammers have **** priority, so they are dead.

least liked- timers, fan, and the bat.

I got in late and everybody already said all mine :O
Whatever.

Like:
Home Run Bat. It makes a *****in' noise.
Pokeballs. BLAM.
Assist Trophies. They're kind of novel.
Cracker Launcher. I mostly just like it for the name.

Dislike:
Fan. I mean what the hell.
Dragoon. It's just stupid.
Smash Balls. I always always lose the race for them XD

I dont like any items really because there are alot of people who would jump to get the items and the second they get it they use it. The item i hate the worse it the ray gun and final smash sure others as well as my self have not trouble dodging final smash and sometimes ray gun fire but to me if you get hit with any of them its a cheap way to win(you can add in assist trophys and hammers as well) . The items I would probably like are the ones that are used for fun reasons and sorta make you look like an idiot even though its entertaining

EX:Springs & Bumbers
(I do miss the barrel cannons from the first SSB and Melee );

Favorite item: Sonic's Spring. Gimping/stage spiking with it is freakin' nice :p
Seriously, I rarely play with items, even for fun. Brawl items piss me off even more than in the previous games.

it's not "items"

Bumper. the only one that matters.

My favorite item is the mushroom, I love how it changes your voice and makes. I hate the bumper as it always seems to be in the most annoying places.

Bomb-ombs! They are FULL of win ;). I really like chucking dem at people and watch them EXPLODE! Very kewl.

I don't like lip's stick. What is up with its name? Also, its range is too much for me!

I have to agree with the fan part. The fan owns anyone if you know how to use that fan. O.o Keep tapping that button. : D, and the Bat pretty much summons that up easily. >_> You toss that bat most people lose focus. Best weapons ever.

(That's how I see fit when I play brawl. XD )

The worse item... I hate the hammer instant kill, and..... The bombs. Why not blow people up? XD Oh well.

Best: Fan, one of my best items in combat even better than the smash ball IMO.

Worst: Clock or whatever its called, reason why is because it can slow you down if you grab it and even if you do slow down the person after you hit them the go flying and you can't really combo them after that.

I usually don't play with items though.

Smash balls, assist trophies, and pokeballs are my favorite items.

The only item I dislike is the invincibility star.

I love the bumper and bat best. The bumper just makes for epic lulz, as well as the bat.

Worst would be the clocks.

Bumpers are really fun. It's hilarious to trap the CPU with it.

Mr. Saturn is pointless. Like we didn't have enough Earthbound crap in Brawl already (like Lucas... just kidding guys)

Love the home-run bat. Seriously, who doesn't?
Hate the fire-flower. It's just there to give people a chance to rack up damage on someone while annoying them in the most infuriating way possible.
