Items On or Off ~Let's debate some more

[Macawmoses]

Simple question, answer wisely. Items on, or off? You know my answer.

Items can be fun in parties. Off if it's a serious tourney match. While it takes skill to use most of 'em, it doesn't for them to appear right next to you. If a bomb-omb spawns on you as you are doing you're KO move on the enemy, and you suicide, that is pretty unfair <,<

[Ridley]

I agree with Phanto m as I'm sure everyone else will too.

[Shujinco2]

Meelee: Items on, excluding a few, such as Bomb-omb, Beam Sword, Flipper, Poisen Mushroom and Super Mushroom, and some others. I find it funner this way.

Brawl: Items off. It's far better without them, considering that I love them in Meelee. Maybe it's because of the items present? ????

[Playat]

I have to agree with Phantom. Items ON for fun matches. Items OFF for serious matches such as tourney

[La Pared]

Items Fun and No Items Serious.

[RedYoshi]

If you want to show true skill and how good you REALLY are turn the items off, but if you want to just have fun with the game turn them On. I usually keep items on but I sometimes turn them off.

If there are more than two players (team matches excluded), then items are fine.

But I don't like them in 1v1, its too annoying for me.

I prefer items off.

I agree, for sure...

Also, I hate how the items are in Brawl, anyways.

[Lotos]

Turn only certain items off, like starmen, smart bombs, bob-ombs, gooey bombs, Smash Balls, and Pok?balls if you want a more serious match, but I prefer items myself.  Luck and item skill should be a factor in matches outside of tournaments.  After all, you could be excellent without items, but maybe you can't use the items effectively as everyone else.  The items also add a little of a surprise and extra strategical elements to the matches.

[HTA!]

No items in 1 v 1 unless its ULTIMATE 2X DAMAGE HANDICAP HIGH TIME MATCHES FOR COINS.
But really, I prefer them off even in groups.

[FruitFlow]

Most of the time I perfer no items. Especially online.
But sometimes if I feel like it I'll put them in

[Kilroy]

Phantom just answered for everyone, I guess :P

That was the greatest match of all time. You can't forget norfair though.
And of course, no items for me in 1v1s. I don't mind them too much in groups, though like hta, I still prefer them off.

[.:DL:.]

I prefer them OFF on 1 vs 1 matches.  If there more than 2 players, ON eould be more entertaining.
