On the items front again, I understand how it is random and arguably reduces the raw skill factor, but surely it allows for other skills as well. I just think it's a shame that more players don't cncentrate on the items metagame as well. There are so many opportunities for skilful play with items. I relish the chance to try and farore's wind some guy who's just picked up the hammer and send them helpless over the edge. Risky, but so satisfying! If people played with items on low or medium on, say, 10 stock matches then I don't think the "random" factor would adversely affect the skill.
Granted, however, on a 3-stock match there's a good chance it would. Are there any tournaments that have items in?
