It's more of a reduction of options taken to an extreme. I can actually play pretty well without items, but it makes for longer battles, less of that hectic randomness that I enjoy, and frankly it just makes things more fun to have items. And no, if you want to know who's better, you have to be able to roll with the punches of sometimes uneven items. Every final smash can be avoided, even if your opponent gets health back, even if you get a golden hammer, any sufficiently skilled person can dodge any hazard. I've caught bob-ombs hurled at me, I've avoided Sonic's, Snake's and the Starfox Crew's final smashes, I've fought against somebody who set the map to only heart pieces for items who must've reset his damage about six times before I killed him. It's not about upsetting balance, it's about rewarding circumstance and rolling with punches. The fact a battle can give randomly to either side means that nobody has a preordained advantage.

Sure if you want a game of skill, it pretty much has to be the tournyfag way : fox only, final destination, no items, one life. It removes all the other variables, and only skill survives. Frankly, unless you play explicitly restrictive rules, there's still no good way of determining skill between different characters, and thus no good way of determining player skill, since they're all wildly different.

On that note, I'm still hammering away with my wifi dongle. It's so much better off as a wifi card, I swear.

i could beat your ass wiht or without items, i just prefer items. If you want a longer match make it more stock.

Yeah im going back to ya know...my topic. Anyways stfu about the rules. I have "whined" once, if you havnt realized, im about the only person in this topic who hasnt complained.

ANd no Zee. If you want to know whos better at the game you should most defidently have no items on. *sigh* if you want to proove me wrong PM me, anybody.
