As A Semi-functional Adult I Can Tell You This Is True

I think people often underestimate the potential educational value of senseless memes. For example, thanks to Spiders Georg, literally every teenager on Tumblr has a reasonable grasp of what a statistical outlier is and the sorts of problems that outliers can introduce into a naïve analysis. There are grown adults who don’t get that - I deal with them on a daily basis.

This is somewhat valid but you do realize that a competitive smash player would still crush a casual player 9 games out of 10 even with items and stage hazards on. Like they are obviously good at the game, they just prefer to play without the rng elements included. Especially if you’re playing for money keeping items on just doesn’t seem as valid due to the randomness it introduces.

Like yes the default is “party” mode but it’s not like they hacked the game to remove items. Item switch has been a built in feature in every game so it seems like a stretch to say they are playing against the designers intentions by using it. 

The overwatch comparison isn’t really the same because that is a part of the characters kit. It’s not based on an uncontrollable factor. Items on would be more like playing football where the padding is randomly tossed onto the field and if it drops near you nice if not sucks to suck. It would certainly make for an entertaining game but as a competitive sport I don’t think it would hold up as well.

Me: I love Smash! It’s such a fun PARTY game! :)
