I used this when it popped up. But, I always throw it at people when they're going off screen to kill them.
I always shoot stars and realize that I just wasted time, it's always better to just attack, well most of the time.
I think this is the one weapon i avoided at all costs. It was very hindering, and didn't make much of a difference from my regular attacks. It feels like they just tacked it in so they could round out the weapons quota.
Yeah, the Star Rod wasn't very powerful, it was a useless item. Though it is nice swinging stars out of it.
So I'm assuming none of you guys know about the Star Rod's true potential. Not only is it a great weapon that's more powerful than a Beam Sword, but it's a great item to throw when an opponent is at like 60% damage because it literally flings them off the stage in a weird motion that makes it hard for opponents to jump back onto the field. I say it's quite the useful item.
I never really used it as a basher, but I capitalised on its magic STAB (not really, this isn't Pokemon ) shots and throwing it was fun.
I forgot its launch trajectory, was it a downward curve for the victim?

You have got to be joking... You must of not played Melee much or at all.Vipsoccermaster said:
I'm sorry, but Star Rod is one of the most powerful Items in the game. The Star itself does like 9-12 damage (can go long distances) or you can throw it, which like Aegis said, can kill at very low damage (or if they are trying to recover, throwing this Item will seal their fate).
I haven't really used that item much in Melee, though.SpiderStaryu said:
Then why judge it?
I always used this to attack players while they were trying to recover - just like I do with the ray gun!
When it's out of stars, I'll just chuck the whole thing at them.

This and the fan are my least favourite items they both do not much damage
I liked throwing this item more than actually using it. 8D
OVO STARRRRRRRRRRS!
I love this item.

This and the home run bat are my two favorite items in the SSB series.
When I was a kid I used to pick up the star rod only because it reminded me of Paper Mario, but now I realize what a great item it really is.
