Here’s how one guy, who wrote in to Brawl producer Masahiro Sakurai, put it:
Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai recently tried playing Brawl online. He was a bit disappointed with the players he encountered. In addition to being disappointed that items were turned off, Sakurai noticed that “nobody ever went on the attack; it was like everyone was taking the approach of waiting for the other guy to take the offensive.”
“The other day, I had my first run at Smash Bros. Brawl online play. What I found was that nobody ever went on the attack; it was like everyone was taking the approach of waiting for the other guy to take the offensive. There were no items, either. I wanted to shout at them ‘This isn’t how you do Smash Bros.’! As the producer, what do you think of fights like this?”
