I'm talking about something like setting starting percentages on smash bros.

Things that put you (or your foes) at disadvantage for a more fair game with your friends.

What do you think about it? What are some good/bad implementations?

I love them. I remember quake 3 had something similar too. It lets you challenge yourself a bit more, and in the case of Smash play equitably with players of different skill levels, so that everyone experiences a fun challenge.

Basically solves the problem of being "too good" to play with your friends
