"Official" 'Item Standard Play' Thread UPDATE 8/21

^^^ hold up let me help this out ^^^
If items are on in 1 vs 2 situation TA off guerilla tactics will work. Note the word “tactics” meaning strategy.
This one is particularly for you cyantalan :slight_smile:
If you have the problem of winning in a 2v2 get better, get a better partner or make your partner better!

Uggh self defeating thoughts and complaining.

More on items:
Note with items on we wouldnt have the old “Grrr Ice climber, metaknight ,(insert whoever) is too powerful and the game is not fair.” Simply because smash w/o items isnt a fair game anymore and requires less ability to play. Thats the bottom line. If you take a variable out of any game it becomes easier to learn.

Example: I and the rest of the world decide to play SSF4 w/o super meter because focus attack dash cancels do to much damage. The game just got easier because I nor anybody else needs to learn that technique.
Items are critical in Smash and the community just doesn’t understand. They try to make the game fair w/ rules and what have they done but gone and ass-raped themselves. People don

Will edit with a proper response once I get an understanding of what you meant by this.

Ha ha ha. What do you not understand? I feel that my post is pretty black and white.
Is your post a place holder for your argument which you cant seem to formulate?
I should do this too. It will go like this

“Hey your wrong! Ill explain later”

TROLL ATTACK!!!

No, I seriously was trying to understand where you were going with the statement. In regards to TA On or TA Off, summarizing me, mocking Smashboards, what? Can’t see the angle you’re coming from with such a flat statement.

I don’t see why outside competitive gaming sites don’t accept smashboards’ rulesets.

Competitive smash was given life there and is still growing because of it and only because of it.

Troll harder plz.

… what?

You expect anyone here to believe that after 3 years of back and forth, both sides only coming to the conclusion the other side is retarded and washing their hands of it, that this wonderfully articulate post you provided isn’t just trolling? Come on, now.

Do you know what trolling is?
Was my post inflammatory, extraneous, and/or off-topic?

The real question is do you? The only thing possible to come out of your post was trying to stir shit up yet again, when it really didn’t need to. Which is what trolling is. Let it go, man.

Seriously, I’m amazed the whole Smash section hasn’t been just locked off.

Thread is really hard to take seriously, but that being said I think shouldn’t ban smashball fighting over it is half the fun of casual play, too bad Peach has a pretty terrible one. Hacking the smashball into a more balanced item might be a good option.

The idea of item standard play is pretty dead unfortunatly. I like smash I think its fun. I dont think smash tournaments are fun considering there is a billion rules. Not to mention the smash community tries to make smash like SF or something. Its a terrible thing.

http://allisbrawl.com/group.aspx?id=13845 I’ve recently been trying to create my own kind of ISP. though it’s a bit different then the one that you’ve all been discussing it’d appreciate it if you’d looks it through. I know that i am intending on finding a way to incorporate the smash ball though so far whats on that page is the best i got so far.

Glad to see there’s a part of the community willing to give the concept of competitive Item Smash a try. It can be done.

Wow, I was just curious to see if this thread was still here… and it is, and has recent (ish) posts! Considering it seems that people still look at this thread every now and then… I probably should update the OP and all. It’s probably REALLY old. And outdated. And not right. :stuck_out_tongue:
