Recovery items and smash balls are commonly brought up when I've played and a couple of people here have mentioned them, what's the consensus

Smash balls are good, and the jetpack is cool too.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.
i think I'll try and effort post to recall all the rules of that smash variant later

if there's more interest I'll try and seriously bring it back and organize some tournaments that use it as a ruleset

Icarus Rising Mode:
1. Only Pit/Dark Pit/Palutena.
2. Only items from Kid Icarus.
3. Only stages that are canonically in the sky (like that Kid Icarus stage, Skyloft, etc).

Additionally:
Persons playing as Dark Pit receive ritual mocking upon any loss.
Palutena is only allowed to use stripper taunt.

smash balls are cool but pity smash balls you spawn with when you die a lot are retarded

according to SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki that anyone can edit, you spawn with a pity smash if you respawn while 5 points behind the current leader. this means you only actually have to die once to get it. I have gotten it before while playing with a friend who is Very Good at smash bros. it was demeaning and humiliating and i hate it.

you know korky buchek?
i think the smash ball is cool at first, but once you've seen all of the final smashes a few times, and the balance has been figured out (i.e. these 6 FSes are good, adn the rest are poo poo) then they should probably be turned off. if you are doing all items, then leave them on of course.


also, to clarify, when i say "no recovery items", i mean no items that recover health , like the heart or whatever. i would also maybe include the super star. I don't mean items that aid in recovery, like the jetpack (are there even any others?)


the foods are ok tho, that recover like 2%

Choose one recovery item, disable the rest.

Player 4 chooses Duck Hunt Dog, stands away from the fighting, and taunts whenever a player misses a shot or dies.

I've never disliked moving stages, and in fact do quite well at them because I'm not a loving stupid baby
