real men use items!

[Dawei]

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

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

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

As I said, people need to get good on their own. I don't give a dang 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.

BECAUSE IF YOU AREN'T GOOD AT VIDEO GAMES YOU DIE IRL, M I RITE?!

Dude, you take your hobbies way too seriously. :|

YA U R RITE ST0PID ITEM UZIN SRUBZ SHULD DY IN A FYR

Yeah, I probably take my games a bit to seriously. With that said though, I'm going to be competitive as hell no matter how simple the thing is. I always have been. It's how my friends and I all are. I guess I'm alone in that fact. It probably adds to why I'm so competitive and serious about stuff like Smash.
