Amiibo-only tourneys / Mii Fighters for tournaments?

[solitonmedic]

By now, you all heard about that one Fox amiibo nearly taking down an entire tournament a few months back.

If not, here's the story: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/11/26/story-fox-amiibo-nearly-won-super-smash-bros-tournament/

The comments in that one article intrigues me, an Amiibo-only tournament. While it's like watching a **** fighter, I kinda favor the idea of betting on your trained, precious Amiibo against another trainer's Amiibo. While there isn't a wide selection of Amiibos, considering the first had just concluded, I'm positive this would be taken in consideration.

Moving on, I believe Mii Fighters should be given a chance to participate in those big-shot tournaments. While customization are avoided like the plague, having your Miis fight in the tournament feels like representing yourself in a large scale or representing other character who couldn't make it to Sm4sh. (COUGH, LUCAS)

What do you guys think? Amiibo tournaments and Mii Fighters are a bust or a win?

I don't understand what you mean by Mii fighters should be "given a chance" to participate in the Amiibo tournaments... as far as I can tell there are no Mii Amiibo Nintendo has produced - I'm not even sure how Nintendo would go about producing a Mii Amiibo considering they change appearance when you create them... maybe some kind of Mr. Potatohead style doll? Haha.

But just play your Mii in any other non-Amiibo tournament, they are useable with "Custom Fighters: Off", in case you weren't aware of this (their equipment, if any, is also turned OFF with this function like all other characters).

no no, that's just a separate idea I wanted to include in this thread, sorry if I was a bit unclear.

So which tournaments were you saying Mii should be included in?
Was the tourney the Fox Amiibo took 4th place in not allowing Mii but allowing Amiibo? That would be a weird ruleset X^D

APEX, Big House, EVO and etc.

I'm all for amiibo tournaments. I think it would be a great way to promote hype without the salt.

My yoshi amiibo throws eggs 24/7 and lands them all till 120% then up smashes. Im so proud

Amiibo tournaments would be great. sure, they could only be local, but so what? XD


I'd participate.

Hell, people could even send their amiibo on a trip to another country or state for a big tournament, and watch the stream, since sending a package is much cheaper than sending yourself.

It's a fun idea. I'm expecting underground betting games to happen regularly soon enough.
