My Mario tuned out God tier, I don't know what happened but I haven't been able to beat him in a long time. He fights incredibly aggresive and uses his cape better than a bull wrangler. He fights much better than a CPU, even though he is more humanist and doesn't perfectly predict your moves to shield. Even though I don't win, it's much more enjoyable to fight my Mario because he fights like me.

My other Amiibos didn't turn out as great, and it's all because of Samus. Basically I was training Samus on the Donkey Kong stage where there's a foreground and background to fight on and the whole time we were both jumping around trying to reach the barrels. I guess Samus learned that the key to victory is to keep jumping so from then on Samus would just jump around the entire match. Well I ended up pitting Samus against my other 2 Amiibo's and now they learned from Samus to never stop jumping. So basically I have Mario kicking ass and the other 3 jumping around endlessly trying to run away
