10 Video Game Weapons You're A Dick For Using

While the most hardcore of Smash players will insist that items are an annoyance and must be switched off, it's easy to see that the random item drops makes for a more frantic experience for casual players. Pokeballs can summon a pocket monster to fight alongside you, the Home-Run Bat lets players swing for the fence and the Banana Gun blasts a single powerful shot before becoming a banana peel for player to slip on.

There is one item, however, that is so incredibly annoying that anyone who voluntarily takes advantage of it will be labelled a dick from every competitor in the room: the Hammer.

Once collected, the player will maniacally pound the hammer against the ground as they search for a player's game to ruin. The hammer restricts the user's movement somewhat, but should the wielder connect with any of their hits then their victim will take a mountain of damage.

Even the music that accompanies the item is irritating, an 8-bit jingle of absolute terror that indicates that someone is about to get pummelled.

Any item in the Smash Bros series has the potential to annoy, but anyone who doesn't leave the Hammer exactly where it fell is a dick.
