I think it's especially lame how people are all like "when a pokémon isn't in OU, don't use it in OU", and create a team with blissey, infernape, tyranitar, skarmory, scizor, bronzong or any other of those unorginal overused pokémon (salamence, lucario, metagross, or heatran come to mind).

I hate people like that.

they just want to win :| when I play games, I play with what I like.

I try to win with what I like xD. Although fun comes first. I'm not on of those people who always pick metaknight/snake/ike, no items, final destination, on brawl (because else they might just lose because of an item, which they call unfair). Or one of those mario kart ds people who pick the egg kart and go snaking all around. Or those people who say you should pick Mario on mario power tennis as he's too all-rounded.

Man, I'm already getting pissed while writing this xD Especially at those non-item brawlers.

Items in brawl are fucking retarded though. If you get a Kyogre, that's basically 2 free kills that you get with no effort whatsoever. It's literally the most broken thing I've ever seen in my life. And there are a lot of items in the game that are like that. Think about it, when a final smash ball appears, the fight completely stops. People actively stop going after each other and focus on getting the stupid smash ball. It's disruptive and idiotic.

I don't have a "main" character though. I switch around and use whoever I feel like. It costs me some wins, but whatever.

But yeah, I like it to actually require some skill, not just be a race to see who can grab items the fastest.

Then turn off smash balls if you hate them so much xD. One of the main reasons I like brawl so much is the randomness that can happen due to stages and items. You're planting a proximity mine, while someone else is focusing on something else, you stay near the mine but jump over it everytime, and wait for your opponent to walk into it. >:D

Plus kyogre is pretty rare, I think I only had him like 3 times in a total. And I've never ever even got Manaphy out of a pokéball. And that while, according to the nintendo channel, I have played brawl for about 158 hpurs total.


edit: Funny how 7 out of 12 people in my friend club aren't in my friend list. wait what? make that 4. Lol, I think I have a little too much friends in my friend list xD

I do turn smash balls off. Apparently you completely ignored my post.

Here is a list of items that I consider to be broken:
hammer
heart container
maxim tomato
assist trophy
bumper
dragoon
golden hammer
lightning bolt
smash ball
superspicy curry
bob-omb
cracker launcher
timer

And that's being very lenient.

=3= It's just a game, geez. So what if some items are broken? It's the way they programed it. And in the case you leave those items on, then don't complain afterwards.

In general, competitive games suck unless whoever you're up against can laugh along with you afterwards. Win or loose, it's just a game. And I'm not saying that you can't take it as a bit more than a game when you're actually battling, just when all is said and done, you know it's just a game. Try your hardest, and the outcome shouldn't matter. :|

And IMO cheating in games, with the exception of stuff like Sims, is stupid. Why are you playing if not for the accomplishment? If you don't earn the right to see the story, that's stupid. This is why I didn't see the KHII extra cutscene until I finally beat the game in Proud Mode (because my patience is already wearing thin with KH, I was never going to bother getting 100% on everything on Standard), I refused to watch it online because I wouldn't have earned it.

That's true, and I do play with items sometimes. I don't enjoy it though. They're programmed like they are and I accept that, but the ability to deactivate them is also programmed into the game. This is an ability that I simply prefer to take advantage of. I don't mind losing, but I'd rather lose to someone who is actually better then me then be up 2 lives and have my opponent get a dragoon followed by a golden hammer or final smash or something. It's just like oh yeah... Good job bro.

But yeah, I don't mind losing. I lose all the time. You learn more from losing then you do from winning.

You actually never said that. You just said how much you hated the item ;)

Here is a list of items that I consider to be broken:
hammer
heart container
maxim tomato
assist trophy
bumper
dragoon
golden hammer
lightning bolt
smash ball
superspicy curry
bob-omb
cracker launcher
timer[s/]

And that's being very lenient.


I disagree wiith the striked out ones. A hammer limits your jumping and may break, both which can kill you easily. Else it is a bit overpowered though. 50% health isn't that much recovery. Assist trophies are basically pokéballs, A bumper is overpowered, but can counterstrike if you're not carefull. A dragoon is only broken because of negativity (but maybe that's what you meant). It's hard to get, and easy to dodge. Bob-ombs are risk vs. return. You can have a chance that it starts to walk before you get it, but it is a handy if you get hold of one. Timers are just a fun addition, with whom I can't see any brokenness.

And cracker launchers are just weird, rather then broken in my opinion.

lol I'm reminded of why I don't actually like Nya/why she's my rival by what she said. I agree on some things, but other things... there's a difference the size of multiple elephants.
