I suppose I'll let Anime characters in. Anyway, my question is are these items unfair? Mr. Saturn pretty much does nothing. The fan pretty much does nothing. The laser sword hardly hinders the match as well. People would basically just use these as throwing items. And food only restores health by 5 percent. (Plus items are set to spawn at an extremely low rate.)

Ok ok. If you say these items does pretty much nothing, then why even allow them at all? Tournaments are supposed to be based of nothing but skill, the only thing that can aid you in tournaments is your Character knowledge of Match ups, stage striking, and skill. Allowing any sort of item in will hinder the tournament environment (even if it's something as minor as food).

And do you even know the properties of the items you are allowing? Mr.Saturn breaks shields, Fan keeps you in a trap that is difficult to escape out of, and laser swords can aid a character and can be used for easy edgeguards.


Not all tournaments are like that. A recent smash tournament held is Japan featured items and stages such as Orbital Assault. Also, I think my game is glitched. I just tested Mr. Saturn and it didn't break my shield. Is it like Jiggly Puff's side B? I also think items just add something extra to the match and make it much more interesting.

Perhaps this wasn't the best idea. I suppose I'll cancel the tourney for now, and wait until I've acquired more knowledge on the subject. Can a mod lock this?

Edit your opening post. There should be a checkbox that says "Lock topic"
