Yeah. Too many options. Go to hell. But before you do, pick the one that suits you the most.

Great fun.

And Peach's Final Smash is not useless. Try noticing how freaking long it puts people to sleep, and does 40% damage to everyone. Then you get to heal yourself and crack everyone with a fully charged smash.

Hell, I had 3 lives left, Peach was the only one left after a free-for-all, and she had 1 life left. Three Peach Blossoms later, I'm down to one life and she still has only about 70% damage. And I'd managed to AVOID being put to sleep all three times. What's that tell ya?

Except replace Fox with any CPU enemy who hits the ball once and gets it after I give the smash ball a beating that'd make Master Hand cry.


Mainly because the option "Too common" does not exist. I've only had them turned off once, and that was a Pokeball-only fight >_>

I know, I was just placing a couple options there as a "just in case" measure. Half the people on Gamefaqs who complain are either tourney elitists or Peach/Marth mains. >_>

Also, Peach Final Smash + Moving Stage = LULZ.

Moving along, yes, I too hate when I'm wailing on the Smash Ball, only for me to hit it one last time... and the CPU next to me, who attacked a second AFTER the ball vanished, gets it. WTFUX.

Oh well. Owning everyone and finishing half my matches as Super Sonic makes up for it. Seriously, I've ended so many matches floating over the center of the stage as a golden, flying hedgehog.

I've also won all four With Anyone matches I've played, AS SONIC.

So if I see some sort of Sonic controller, I'll just bet on him.

Still, why are you maining Sonic? Why not a funner character who doesn't die when they get the bunny hood? >_>

Yeah, okay, fine, all jokes aside, I'm a Marth user. Mind you, I'm not a tier nazi either. I mained Marth ever since I learned Roy sucked and was a Marth clone. Thus, I picked the next-best thing. Marth.

I also use Samus on occasion, and Ganondorf for raw power.

They're a crucial element of gameplay.

They make gameplay faster and a little more stratigic. Not many FS moves can 1 hit kill unless at least over 60-70%. Such as my main Meta Knight. Even then it might not launch them off.

MK can kill rather easily with his FS if the enemy isn't uninjured. Marth kills with his FS--There's no question. Ness and Lucas can easily juggle foes off the top with a lucky shot of it. Link, if he FS's you, kills you easily.

Besides, yes, they are a crucial element of gameplay, but the reasoning of that option existing is if you think "Well, hell. I don't like them much, but they're in the game, so why not?" Like me and Items. >_>

They're too much of a "I get, I win" kind of thing, IMO. I play with them on nevertheless. <_<

Only if you're Marth on FD with even a single CPU. Then everyone dies.

How can you dislike them?

Had a long debate with this guy named Adam about Smash balls (and items in general) in tourney play.

Are smash balls really powerful? Yes.

Game breakingly so? Doubtful.

2 minute match, 4 player FFA,. Ness, Sonic or anyone with the ability to KO everyone with one FS will have a serious advantage over other players, who generally won't have enough time to overcome it. Or a three stock 1x1, getting a OHKO FS in the face just after you come back, leaving you only one life to deal with two or three from the other player. I wouldn't mind if they appeared a tad less often (or if I played longer matches >_>), but I find some of them to be a little too game breaking in shorter games. That's just my opinion, though.

The only real OHKO FS is Marth's. Everyone else's can be easily recovered from. Hell, even Marth's is incredibly easy to dodge. Just roll. It's like the Red Rings of Death. Try to get a CPU Marth to use it in the air, then air dodge it. Free point ahead for you.

Ness's? Play on Hyrule Temple moar.

Thing is, I can't dodge that well. I always lost a character at the Red Rings of Death. >_> Besides, I can't think of an easy way to recover from, say, Light Arrow or Triforce Slash. I just wish I could set them to show up less often compared to other items.

...If I actually can, everything I said about Smash Balls can be considered null and void. <_<

If you play with lots of items on, they appear less often.

If you play with few items on, they appear much more often.

Seriously, the same freaking characters get the Smash Ball every single time, it's always after I hit it a million times, and they always come after ME when they get it, no matter how far away they may be from me.

Yeah, I hate how when the computer gets the Dragoon, they always target ME. Oh well, on the upside, I've learned how to time an airdodge to avoid it, so they just wasted my Dragoon.

Have you ever tried a Dragoon-only fight? They don't like to show up. On High. Even after I turned on containers for them to come out of.

those are probably the silliest poll options ever

that being said I'd turn them off 1v1, maybe put them on if anyone asked in an FFA
