Health Items - On or Off?

[Russta]

I'm curious how everyone else feels on this subject. I personally despise having health items on as all your hard work can be undone by a Heart Container falling at your opponents feet. Playing online for the past 10 hours though, no one seems to have bothered turning them off at all which makes me wonder how others are toward them.

Well if you wanna take off items that screw hard work you might as well take out the dragoon too, a good enough killshot can earn you a freebie KO immediately after. That said, with items on I still turn off health items, starman, hammers (for their sake, those things are easy to counter and KO the user), both mushrooms, and the lightning bolt. The rest are fair game.

The Dragoon doesn't bother me as much because you have to collect it in three parts and that is usually a decent amount of effort. That said, it is pretty gay dying then coming back and dying instantly 'cause they just picked up the third part.

I too turn off Starman but also the Gun, Sand Bag and Banana. I used to turn off the Hammers in Melee but I like leaving them on just 'cause of the epic lulz guaranteed from countering them. Only thing that tops that is baiting someone into using the Home Run Bat and countering that.

I only turn off heart and tomato. You kind of have to work for food + it doesnt heal alot so I leave it in.

This sounds oddly familiar,

I turn off most powerhouse items but Pokeballs, Smash balls, and Smart Bomb. That would include the hefty healers like Tomato and Heart, but I still use food.

EDIT: I find that having both Dragoon and Smash Balls can take away focus from the match really. Too much item gather.

I think they should be turned off but I forget to. Like that one match we were doing on MGS stage you were near 130% then grabbed the heart I was like ya...that sucks lol.

The rush for a smash ball is key to countering certain strategies. It takes more skill for a player to be able to manage the opponent/s and control the smash ball.

I meant both of them on at the same time. I use only Smash balls as noted above.

Health item are always off when we want to play seriously for a few hours. I wouldnt mind leaving the smaller one, but we usually end up removing everything.

Star, hammers, metalo, and a few other item are removed as well. Basically, we try to keep the random shit that would affect the outcome of a match, and leave the item that can easily be countered and aren't much more powerful than a normal attack.

I just hate ending up having to kill the same live of someone twice, it's like fighting a PLD in WoW

Just taking out the big healers is generally enough to make it so people don't whine but at the same time it ends up being interesting

Pretty much this.

[izembo]

I think it all depends on how me and my friends want to play that dictates which items remain. On normal matches we just normally leave everything on, but on special fun bullshit rounds we change it up.

Earlier today we did a 5 minute, 300% 2x damage modifier round on Final Destination with frequent bumpers and that was it, was a freaking blast trying to stay alive. Doing the same thing with only smart bombs too was freaking hilarious as well. It's fun to throw one bomb and have it detonate like 4 other bombs and have the entire stage engulfed in the rape of a smart bomb's explosion.
