Amiibos. Yay or nay?

I'm planning to get a couple. They will be my sparring buddies until they start destroying me. And for the increased stats, I may have to use custom equipment in order to compete.

I don't know what to think so far.

I got Yoshi and leveled him up to 50 tonight. I guess I played pretty aggressively and now he just camps with eggs and dodges everything. I wish he copied what i did instead of countered it. He can go toe-to-toe with me, but it's mainly by using ridiculously timed dodges or smashes. I was kinda hoping that their strength would come from using moves effectively rather than having computer-precise reads. That's what turns me off from fighting traditional CPUs. On the other hand, he behaves completely different around Lv. 9s and often looses.

I want to try another Amiibo and see if I can mold it a bit more to my style. They are lots of fun to train, and all the figures looked great in my opinion. I don;t know if I would be up for getting a whole bunch to Lv 50 just so they can do the same ridiculous dodges that computers do.

I'm really curious to try it to be honest. But I'll have to get the money to buy a Wii U and a copy of smash T.T

Level 50 mario, ignores team attack rule, consistently loses to level 9 computers. But can tear apart most human players. In my opinion- having them will train you to deal with intermediate hassles and nuances of each character (that you happen to buy). I'm tempted to buy a Yoshi to better handle tournaments in the future. I'd buy a ness AND lucario right now if it were available.

Not interested in them until there's a feature that allows you to set their stats to "default" (same as a human player). They've got a 1.5x damage multiplier as well as take reduced knockback at level 50 without feeding them items (see http://smashboards.com/threads/an-un-fed-and-uncustomized-amiibo-hits-harder-than-you.379115/)

I don't really care too much about what it adds to the game, I just want a Robin figurine to keep in my room.

 

[FireOfExile]

I don't own any yet, but seeing how many people are saying their Amiibo is getting stronger than them, I'm interested in getting one or two. I'm not sure how training them works exactly, but I'd like to try it out anyway.

Also, does anyone know if they can be reset?

 

[Rochette]

You can reset your Amiibo,don't worry.

Meh, I just wanted a Meta Knight amiibo so that I can turn the figure into a keychain or something, but now that I know that they can be potential practice partners that'll be better than you makes me want it more!!
