real men use items!

[Avion-Finch]

That made me laugh. :P

[Shujinco2]

"Be Nice"

LOL!

That's probably going to become a meme on smashboards, and "undeniable proof" among casual elitists. DAMN YOU SAKURAI

Items level playing fields when playing against people of different skill.

Items make it unfair if they are at the same skill.

[Rius]

That was the best. :P

As I said, people need to get good on their own. I don't give a darn if they suck. Play with them often and they will get better. It's evolution, in a much smaller scale. They will learn to survive.

I mean, I'm not the best Smasher, but I try to learn moves and use the characters that fit me best.

But you'll find a more fitting character without items. You'll rely on yourself. If items were allowed in tournaments, everyone would use MewTwo, simply because of how much they help him. Items just dumb down the skill level, no matter how fun they can be.The Shffl is less useful with items, yet it is one of the most important things in serious play. You'll just become a better player overall without them.

I'd have to agree with that.
How ever, I see no reason to be ultra competitive against friends. Playing items your friends is just fun. But if you are training for a competition...
