Summer Isabelle doesn't even have a confirmed release date for North America yet.

Call me Willy Whistle 'cause I can't speak, baby. Something in TV Tropes really drove me crazy.

So when should I feed my amiibo if I don't want them to become unstoppable killing machines?

You can't get it wrong if it's the truth!

I thought the point of amiibo is to make them unstoppable killing machines?

Unless you somehow manage to teach it terrible behavior through dittos or something.

Speaking of training, it's nearly impossible to find good advice for that since everyone seems to have conflicting results from their own experiences.

The only thing we know about amiibo is how they learn

The best way to train them is entirely subjective though

You could just not feed them. Then their stats would be the same as a normal human player's.

[up]This is another thing that causes a lot of debate.

There is a known video out there that states that amiibo at Lv 50 will do more damage, knock back and receive less knock back than human players.

People never can agree on it, so I suppose testing it yourself is the only way to prove it.

The problem is getting an amiibo to hold still and just take a hit without any DI.

And to make it use a specific move on you when you stand at a specific part of a stage that lets you more easily measure the distance you are launched.

Then there is also a case of people stating that low Lv amiibo (I'd assume below 20?) do less damage and knock back and receive more of it.

Both are easily provable and both are true.

So I now have a grand total of 4 Amiibo: Toon Link, 8-Bit Mario, Shovel Knight, and Wolf Link + Midna.

So, Roy and Ryu's amiibo figures were scheduled for release today. Anybody picked either of them up yet?

My Roy is being mailed to me sometime in the next week while I didn't order Ryu. If i see him in store I'll buy him though.

No, I'm gonna wait until I know I have enough money to get one of them. Or maybe both. I think I can order them online.

Plus, I need another shelf for them anyways.

I spotted Roy and Ryu at my local Gamestop today (though I didn't get them as I was going in there for Disney Infinity figures). Ryu looks very nice (I mean, his figure does!), and Roy's figure is looking good even if he fell victim to the usual "Fire Emblem Amiibo Face Syndrome" like the other FE characters did.

I walked into a store in the middle of the afternoon and was able to buy a new Fire Emblem amiibo.

This doesn't feel right. [lol]

Speaking of which, Roy looks fantastic. Seriously think he's one of my favorites now.

Found charizard. Bought charizard. Good purchase.

I still need the rest of the fire emblem amiibos.. Look like I'm importing them.

Yeah, I managed to literally grab the last Robin at Toys R' Us on launch day, but the rest I ultimately gave in and imported. Wish I'd known that several months later they'd restock like a million Marths, though. [lol]

I grabbed Roy and Ryu on Saturday. Snow kept me from going out and picking Roy up but my mom just got him for me while she was out.

Also, Preorded Hyrule Warriors on 3DS and I can't wait to finally use my Zelda amibos again after Smash.

Same here.

Now I just need Cloud, Corn, and Bayonnaise once their amiibos get made, and I'll have a full set of Smash Bros.

I want a display stand that looks similar to the Trophy Boxes from SSB for Wii U.

Amiibo collecting has made me think of collecting figurines of other characters. Namely some anime characters and RWBY...

And I'm thinking on completing the Smash line, as now there are only 3 characters left that have been on my amiibo radar: Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta.

No, I meant these.

Just big enough to hold all of them, and without the glass.

Yer gonna have to make your own sadly...

Like this guy https://www.reddit.com/r/amiibo/comments/2tullt/trophy_box_amiibo_display_stand/

It doesn't have depressions to hold the bases of the "trophies" though.
