Don't know about them, but I have played in some competitive settings, and even when just playing with friends, they're all extremely good at Super Smash Bros; Not only do we still use items, but it also still remains incredibly competitive, and whoever wins is usually the person who played the best, not the person who tried using the items ineffectively. If you can't adapt to items while playing, maybe you're just not up to snuff, and it's not that items are OP spam vehicles.
