What are your opinions about 'handicap' features in games (lemmy.world)

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?

Don't really see it much because it's either single player game and thus it only matters to me. Or its a multiplayer game in which case it's just a new option for a group to agree on, on what is good.

Fwiw I've only really seen it in smash bros that I think of, and I think it's a great option. Let's me try out when a friend is toooo good and we give them less lives and stuff
