Well yeah, like I said I know that stuff is fun and I also enjoy it from time to time. When Brawl comes out, I am going to play with items, I am going to play all the stages, I am going to try out every characater at least once, but once that stuff wears off, I'm going to play the way I play Melee. Stages that don't kill, no items, 4 stocks.
How many people here have played the first Super Mario Strikers? That game is a lot of fun, but after having played it a few times, I gave up trying to do the super strikes simply because I was soooo bored of the same old cut scene of one of them flying in the air and their eyes turning red and so on. I imagine I will feel the same way about any of the new items and especially about the final smashes. I will think they are cool the first 30 or 40 times, but after that I won't care to see them anymore and I'll switch the items off and want to play it the same way I play Melee.
