The first day I got brawl, I played it till it a hell of a lot, and when I got to about the tenth match, Me and my brother both decided to turn Final Smashes off permanently, we thought It just took fun away from the game, simple as that. Am I the only one who thinks of Final Smash as a really stupid addition?

Just like any other item, I'm sure there are many people who would prefer them off at times.
Meh, final smashes can be fun time to time. I personally enjoy playing with them when I'm Zelda and there's a Sonic and two others (probably Wolf and Falco), and they're all "MINE!" as I'm on the far side, and I simply Din's Fire, take, use, triple KO ^^

Items = fun. I play to have fun. Smash Balls are items. Smash Balls are fun.

I turn them off usually unless I'm bored and playing against complete noobs or little kids.

I use items at times and turn them off sometimes too. It all depends on my mood and what I what I want to accomplish during that brawl session.

Me and my friends were enjoying the game, then Connor had the idea to turn items off,
then we had FUN. They never switched on again.

Although I do keep items on Low and I do turn off some of the really unbalancing ones. I leave Smash Balls on but turn off things like the Dragoon, Golden Hammer, Heart Container, etc.

I enjoy using Smash Balls, but my roommates don't so I usually have them turned off.
People act like Smash Balls are broken, but that's not true. If a Final Smash is a one-hit kill, then it's usually avoidable. The ones that are least avoidable are the ones that're not that powerful, but merely rack up damage or use some other side effect. Then there's Kirby's which falls in the middle; it can either just damage you, or kill you depending on percentage, but it's avoidable if you can get out of its range.
At first all Final Smashes seem completely broken and cheap, but there's more strategy on both the userss and the runners' sides than you'd at first expect. Now the Dragoon, THERE's an item that's completely broken.

It’s good to see so many item users here. When I first lurked around here it seem like everyone was an item hater. It’s cool that there is many people who can appreciate playing smash in many different ways.

I love the smash balls actually. They are really fun to play with :D Specially since it makes everyone gun ho for them xD
As for the dragoon, I really turn it off because it disables the FS until all the pieces are collected. But I'm sure that could probably be avoid able. But then the frame window of pressing it and the action must be incredibly small.
Just wanted to say that Kirby's FS is easy to side step as well. It's pretty simple timing. Lol always do Diddy's down taunt in front of the pot

Actually that's not true. I'm sure 99% of people here would agree Naruto being added would be an incredibly stupid addition.

Well I don't really play competively. So randomness = fun. More fun the better.

I am talking about out of what we have already.
Turning off Final Smash balls seems unfair toward certain characters. Having them off is an advantage to guys like Meta-Knight and Link and a disadvantage to guys like Ike and Fox.
I pretty much just leave it on default settings because I feel this is the best balance for all characters.

Final smash only rules when you get a good character with a wicked one.

Olimar is unavoidable? WTF? lol I understand CF's sorta, but everything else is pretty hard to avoid if used properly.BOLD = Those that are easy to avoid

Depending if FS' are on impact who you use, though unfair isn't the way that I would go. Each character has strengths and weaknesses, I would actually consider having FS on seem unfair.
FS' impact the match too much, put Kirby vs. Bowser (best character match-up) with no items, and you have a ballgame. But put FS' in the equation and the outcome, without skill in the equation, favors Bowser, being that Kirby's FS is only good in mulitplayer battles and only somewhat great.
Edit: Forget what I'm saying. Just play no items, fox only, final destination .__.

On when I play casually
Off when I'm seriously training.
That pretty much sums it up. I love final smashes but they're no good for training.

Well Olimar is just a matter of staying up in the air long enough to avoid the ship landing. Everything else but Ganon is simply side step-able so yes they are simple to avoid.

Yeah. If you want FS', play basic brawl on wifi,there are bound to be items, some matches only have smashballs as items.

The first matches I played, I had all items of except for Smash Ball. I decided to have it on just to see how it was, if it added something to the game. But I very soon realised the unbalance that came with Smash Balls, and turned them permanently off after about five matches.
I wouldn't turn smash balls off if I wasn't so bad at playing Samus, I hate Zamus' FS, maybe if I can get Samus to transform to ZSS mid-match successfully I'd turn them on again. What surprised me however was how often they appeared o_O I mean Sakurai gave the impression that you were only bound to see one like once in a life time, and I got one quite early on in the game and got them quite often.

I like matches with and without, so I keep it off on mine, and people I play with online have them on.

I take em off most of the time, but I'll put them on sometimes.
FS's had the chance to be a genius addition to the game. Unfortunately, while Sakurai was having his good time giving characters their high powered super attacks, he forgot to give them any kind of balance. For instance, DK's final smash, which only becomes a useful kill move at the very end after getting every beat right, in comparison with Sonic's which can kill early, then deal about 50% damage even after his opponent has sat on the respawn platform for the whole duration, after their invincibility has worn off, and then some.

Smash balls are fun when I'm drunk and don't really care about whats happening and simply want to be entertained, other than that I keep em off.
