SSBB Thread: IT'S OUT!!!!!!!!!!

[ThirdMarioBro]

I didn't mean it like that Mecha. I enjoy playing with items off regularly. Its just sometimes I want to have some brainless fun batting Pokeballs with the patented Ken Griffy Jr. home run bat. I'll be playing with some of my local friends (who take the game too damn seriously), and whenever I turn on the items, they quit playing like I just called their mother a duchebag or something. They're always all "I've got too much skill for that random crap", and I'm like "If you have skill, then a little luck isn't going to ruin your day", and then they want to switch Soul Calibur like I've ruined their fun.

I love a good old duel at Final Destination with no items as much as the next guy, but the charm of Smash is that it isn't some random generic 2D fighter, and that the stages aren't all flat. There's variety, advantage points, upper ground, and turf wars. Its got a free-roaming camera for a reason. Hell, I agree with them on the point of the random exploding capsules. They are cheap, and should be removed, or us given the ability to turn them off. Its not that I don't enjoy playing without items, which I do. Its that I can't stand all the people who outright refuse to mix things up.
