Why Do People Hate Items?

[Nayrman]

Because half the items are either worthless (beamsword, sparky)
And half of them are too overpowered (starrod, Pokeballs, AT's)
I'm fine with smash balls since it isn't a "who gets there first" thing, and it reqires some skill to actually use (some more than others, *coughSuperSoniccheapashellcough*)

Super Sonic isn't cheap. I already found a way to dodge it, and it's easy as heck!

LOL, if anything, Kirby's is cheap. It's pretty hard to dodge, especially MY kirby. >:D

All you have to do is be out of range to avoid Kirby's...it's not taht hard if on a big enough stage...

Yeah, but simply roll dodging is pretty easy to dodge a full speed Super Sonic charge. >:D

Personally, I don't like to die because of what randomly falls out of the sky.

Beamsword, worthless?

LOL

Throw it, it does more damage than the bat, I believe.

You can't Roll Dodge Kirby's.

I like items. My brother makes me turn off the Smash Ball every time I play him though.  :P

You can't Roll Dodge Kirby's.

I've done it multiple times. It's extremely easy. The only way possible to NOT be able to dodge it is if you're right next to Kirby. It's so amazingly easy to use.

don't bother fighting Kirby for the smash ball because he'll use it the second it goes into him.  I don't know how but I was Meta Knight on my custom stage and I fought a level 9 Kirby.  Kirby used Cook Kirby and I was right next to him about 8 ft away, I was the only one of the three that didn't get caught.  It could of been a miracle or the cook kirby has limitations to what areas it can pull the enemies from.

Smash Ball =/= Skill.

Items are fun, but the game was also made with the option to turn items off.
I prefer items off, but with friends I play with them on.

Its preference, and when you are the only one to go against the grain, so be it.  :D

True, but it does take some skill in order to hit them sometimes (especially with Donkey K)

It also takes some strategy (like the right area to use Luigi's FS so the opponent is cornered) and skill to manuver (like Diddy's, for example).  Like Smash Bro 25 said, it takes luck to get some items, but skill to use them right to defend.  Anyone can get a bumper or a smart bomb, but you need strategy to know the best places to throw them.

Strategy that some of use don;t really like in our games.
It all comes down to opinion really.

Play with or without items, who cares?
But if someone doesn't want to join your room because of it, tough luck.  ;)

Items are fun, I didn't imply otherwise, but some people prefer other styles.

I forgot to mention, it seems you are insinuating that there are more players who play without items than players who play with items.  You're forgetting about all the other players who aren't competitive and just play for a good time (however, that wasn't said correctly, as this could go vice-versa).

I wouldn't technically say people hate items. It's just better to have them off.

That's why I requested it and not demanded it
and just 'cause she's your "fav," doesn't mean it should be in every post you make.

Your right. It doesn't mean I should put it in every post. I want to put her in
