Exactly! I practice without items, but when I play with my friends, they refuse to play without them, because a) it's much funnier that way, and b) they say I pwn them without the items xD (untrue, because I'm just a scrub, but hey, it's nice ego stroking, so let them say whatever they want
). And of course, if I just want to fool around, I turn them to very high and start the throw-a-thon ^^.
You forgot the Tingle part.I can see it now:-
-Brand new trailer shown, outlining returning characters
-Sonic pops up in the trailer
-Samus and Zamus shown as being seperate characters
-Sheik is missing from the proceedings
-Wiimote on its side proves to be the best control scheme
-No online play
-No Geno
-Smash Boards then promptly explodes
(these aren't actualy my predictions, just the required steps needed to make this website a no go zone for the following month)
That is because you obliviously don't go to tournys or play competively like us.Exactly!

So yeah, most likely 80% of my time with Brawl will be spent playing with items on. I like them. My only complaint would be, could they please give an option to deactivate the whole "barrels explode at random" thing. I seem to have the ability to attract explosions... I no longer open a barrel by hitting them. I throw-projectile-whatever it, because if I hit them in melee they ALWAYS explode. I'm jinxed, it would seem xD.
I'm DYING to find a tourney near me (Kitchener/Waterloo). If I do say, I am skilled player that uses wavedashing, lcancelling, short-hop etc, and I have not met a match as Link to date. So if anyone here knows of any, p[lease PM me or SOMETHING...
You got that right.
E3 will just hold us over if the game is coming out around Christmas. If not, then we get loads but the first seems reasonable. Our big thing will definitely at TGS no doubt.
Even if it is bad, I am sure we will find something to make it useful. If you can attack like that, it would be good for edgeguarding. It will be useflu for something but we have to wait and see.
Strongly agree.
Then that person needs to be more cauious than the other.The fighting game is already a risk/chance to begin with,and adding more chances and such makes matches that more exciting to watch rather than seeing the same old same old.And,if money is that much of a factor,it would come down to whos the most aware fighter,with enviroments and such.Luck is in the same boat when someone misses a combo,or leave themselves open to an attack,IT HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN.No ones prefect at this game,mistakes happen anyhow,so why alienate something that wouldnt effect pros as you stated?
In the end, the best player almost always wins, period (unless with items very high with only explosives on MK II=all luck)! So stop saying most items don't involve skill, most of them just involve a diffrent type of skill, and diffrent useage. The best player almost always wins, with or without items, any stage, with any character vs. anyother character, teams or 1 on 1's=end of discussion=I win.
He'll probably use anywhere from mainly headbutts, flips, ramming attacks, kicks, punches, etc. He'll be the insane psycho he always is and was meant to be, and is=awsome!
Depends on the items. The bumper is all skill, and the bomb-omb is at least half luck. It depends on the items, and item frequency. But the best player, and the player who can change gears the most and best almost always beat someone almost as good. It depends on the situation.
Gonna laugh if one of his attacks involves him ramming someone with his belly, lol!
And Fourside with Link (or any non-wall jumping character) vs. a wall jumping character is lame and unfair. If everyone could wall jump that stage would be used mroe in tourneys, and would be like 1,000 times better!
Don't foget the but slam as well, lol!
He could have some hilariously good moves, and taking pics when you pause in camera mode could be the funniest stuff ever=wrong, but hilariously funny! But slam and gut slam ftw!
Maybe an upward throw? It could resemble Kirby's piledriver. Downward throws tend to involve tossing them on the ground for a solid hit. Wario will probably sit on them. *nod*
There's a big difference between taking a chance knowing the risk that's involved and an item randomly appearing in front of you while you're doing a move. Items may be more fun to watch, but tournaments aren't about the spectators. They're about people trying to test their own skills against others. When doing this, people like to have as little random chance as possible.
The more skillful you are, the less mistakes you'll make. Missing a combo is not luck, it's a lack of skill. If you're making more mistakes than your opponent, you just aren't as skilled (or having a bad day) and don't deserve to win the match. It's not random like items.
Pichu is too good for embarassment matches. If there were anyone near me I would be willing to moneymatch them to prove pichu's undiscovered potential. And it doesn't matter how good peopel are with bowser or dk, you'll jsut never get the benefit of the doubt, and people will always expect to fourstock you.There's a big difference between taking a chance knowing the risk that's involved and an item randomly appearing in front of you while you're doing a move.

If you had read my post, I said that items wouldn't effect the result if a skilled player is playing against an unskilled player. They can, however, affect the results of two players at a nearly equal skill level. This is why items are turned off in tournaments. If you are going to lose in a tournament it should be because your opponent played better than you, not because they were more lucky.

Didnt me saying it would then come down to the player being more aware mean anything? Items cant explode(with the exception of the Bom-omb) just by you touching them,and as for the spector thing,its kinda the main reason why tournments are dying nowadays to begin with,nor having bigger communities.People are too afraid to take risk anymore,so they take any easy way out of things as much as possible,hence the reason why you see tiers listings(theory list).Showing you characters that are easier to win with if your skill matches/surpasses your opponents.},but I will however leave with one question.If items are such complete randomness,and are things that you have little to no control over thus meaning it must leave you with a do or die predictment to be so dramatic,then why are things like "Shine" ok,reguardless of the universal answer cuz its in the game and takes "skill"answer?Theres things like it being among the quickest moves in the game(frame wise),can K.O at low precentages,can be jump canceled out of just to name a few noticable kinks in it.Just something to ponder about..Probably an item, as we haven't gotten one in a while now... Sakurai has said he wants third party characters as unlockables, so Snake won't debut for months yet.
Shine is under the player's control, and is not random.
