Alright, so a friend gave me a Zelda amiibo last night as a random gift, and while I never really made an attempt to get my hands on one, I was grateful. Besides, I'm all for another amiibo that I don't already have. I've never been a Zelda player, and honestly have never really even given her a second glance. However, I started looked at this new amiibo I have, and she's pretty dang cool. I got around to training her today, and to make sure I did the right stuff, I thoroughly analyzed the spec-TACULAR Zelda guide on the site. I'm pretty fascinated by Zelda, and I'm definitely gonna work on her and trying to make her competitively viable in my game.

Anyway, so I got around to training her, using all the strategies I could implement in the guide. Mostly mirror matches, I also threw in some matches with various other characters I'm decent with (DDD, DK, Bowser Jr., Bowser, Jigglypuff, Link, etc.) and she was doing really good. I mean, REALLY good.
But then, around level 40, she became addicted tometh up-smashes. Like literally, that's what she does. Grabs, upsmashes, and Din's Fire when her opponent is offstage. But onstage, it's almost ALL upsmashes. It's driving me insane. I rarely did upsmashes. I did a lot of grabs, and tried to combo into various aerials, with a minor in spacing with her specials. That was the game I was attempting to teach her. But now that is her addiction. She's in denial about it as well. I've probably played a good fifteen 3-stock matches with her since she capped out, and I didn't do a single freakin' upsmash. Still, no change. She never jumps. NEVER.
I guess what I'm asking from you is, am I alone? Did I just do crappy with Zelda? Or is this just a common thing? I know the Bowsers love side-B's, and I'm hoping this is just how it kind of is. If this DID happen to you, did you fix it? How did you? I really don't want to reset her, but if I will, I must. If you need more details, I can supply them.

TL;DR: My Zelda amiibo is just a living upsmash halp
