Items in Smash
I couldn't have said it better myself. I love playing with items when there are more than two players, but when there's only my opponent and I, I rather have items off with the neutral stages set on random.

I think its fun to play with items.
For competitive purposes however, it is not good to use items.
Using items is fun and does take skill, no doubt about it.
However, they are distributed randomly. You could get completely shafted if items dont happen to fall the right way.
Randomness takes away from the skill factor of the game. You can win or lose from factors out of your control. therefore tournaments do their best to remove luck as a factor from the game. This involve banning items, and certain levels with strongly random elements. They can remove randomness to a certain extent, so they do.
Playing for fun, however, should be up the players. I tend to have fun playing more competitvely because i know when I lose its because usually because i did something wrong, not because such and such happened and i got screwed over. however, that can be lulzy sometimes too. Same goes for when I win, just the opposite way.
