In fact it's too easy for me when I use weapons, but if your going to play "competitvely" weapons can change the outcome of a match and give a less skilled player a chance of winning. Example- You and your opponent both have one stock left and you have your opponent to a point in which you can easily ko them. All of a sudden you get hit by an offscreen bob-omb. There are also those random stars and things that just don't go in your favor even if you are better with weapons. Also not using weapons is NOT like not using fireballs in Street Fighter. Each player has their own moves in SSMB. If I didn't use Mario's fireball, that is like not using a fireball in Street Fighter. Weapons are separate from the player you are using. Like I said before, weapons make the game random, but they also make it so darn fun. Playing for fun is with weapons, playing to be the best is without. The reason I say no to the weapons is because this is supposed to be about downright skill.

Sorry, just gotten pissed off about this in the past. Didn't mean to criticize you too roundly! I'm all about playing that game for fun anyway, and what fun is it when you take out the cool stages in favor of boring Final Destination only or when you can't use Poke Balls or Super Scopes or anything else wild and crazy. But perhaps I'm a bit of a hypocrite as well because I like to play with no hammers or starmen because they are too annoying...and no Brinstar Depths (not fun for me for whatever reason). Anyway, nice avatar!
