Listen Iām still pissed that Smash which started as a fun party brawling game got co-opted by a bunch of dick bag āgit gudā assholes who literally took it and tried to turn it into every other fighting game out there.
I just wanna point out that all the āNo items, stock only, no stage effectsā crew all are complete trash at the game. Theyāre great at FIGHTING GAMES, but complete Garbage at Smash Bros. Because instead of trying to learn the game, learn to play around the items, learn which stages do what, they just turn it all off (when you first start the game all the items and stage effects are on and you canāt turn them off in any of the modes except multiplayer melee).
And then if you do wanna play with items they try to shame you and claim that youāre āruining the gameā or ācheatingā because āyou canāt win without using items.ā Guess what asswipe the intention is to play with the items thatās why theyāre their in the first place for free with the base game.
Itās not my fault you had to dumb down the game to succeed cause you donāt know how to use the fire flower or metal bunny ears correctly.
