Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

Well it wouldn't really matter because you will never find a best overall player. Ken hoang, the best super smash bros. melee player of all time, probably isn't very skilled in item usage. Regardless, he is pure legend, and still considered the best smash player overall.

who knows, i doubt the best smash player has not played a lot of item match (i mean you have no option specially in "vs anyone" online) i guess there's some people like me that might challenge him like this (though i'm pretty confident i'm going to lose and i bet those people were too)

If he's as skilled as you say, then he would be more apt to pick up the skillset required to use items well.

It's really not THAT hard. Just takes some practice is all.

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

If by skillset you mean the ability to throw items with good enough accuracy to usually hit your target, then i have those skills already. If i have an item i almost always throw it.

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

i throw the useless keep the important.. throwing a fireworks cannon (or whatever is called in english) is a waste.

besides if you win in a item based battle it means that the first point is proved right

Not just accuracy, but also knowing WHEN to throw, being proficient at responding to items (such as knowing what to expect out of your opponent when they get their hands on each sort of item, and also the ability to catch if the circumstance calls for it), and probably the hurdle for you: to feel comfortable with them and think of them as a bonus for you, rather than something which is holding you back.

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

I think that regardless of who wins, point one is being proven....the only point that needs be considered is #2.


About beating people up to keep them from getting smash balls...

I played a FFA with my friends recently, and smash balls were the only item on. I was Lucas, and got every smash ball that appeared. I was left against one friend, up 3 stocks to 1. A smash ball appeared, and I didn't wanna get it, because I had been getting at least 80% of the smash balls that appeared that night...so I started focusing on keeping him away XD. Went well until I accidentally snagged it.

Yeah...fun times....

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

sorry I didn't read the last few posts so I'm no real impact on the current conversation, but yesterday I played online for the 1st time, and got my ass kicked 4 out of 5 times, and I lagged pretty bad sometimes too which sucked, but I'll post my friend code here and edit it into my sig shortly. 4339-2489-9448

not exactly, if i happen to win in a item match but not in a itemless match it would mean i depend on items. so if he wins in both matches he proves 1 right and 2 wrong. if i win in both matches it proves both right.

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

If i win both it doesn't necessarily prove 1 right. You don't even have to beat me to prove 2 right you just have to be able to keep up with me.

well i will be happy if i at least leave you in 100% with one stock.. wheter thats possible or not i have no idea XD (i'm acually not the best person to try this) but heck i want a challenge, i'm tired of playing with the same old people on-line.

Re: Super Smash Brothers Brawl

I'm somewhere between tourneyfag and casual player when it comes to items. I realize that there are far too many random elements at play that can only be overridden by playing a very long match when it comes to items, so when I'm playing someone to see which of us is better, I do no items.

But still, I find items make the game way more fun. Turning them off makes the game too simplistic to enjoy a lot. When I'm just in it for fun, items are on.
