So is it confirmed that these characters actually "learn" from you? Or is it just placebo?

They play just like you, if you taunt a lot after a kill it will do the same, if you are an item whore so are they. If you run for the smash ball all the time they they will also, etc

If they do learn anything from you, it isn't anything significant. One thing I did all the time when "training" my Samus was a down throw followed by a forward air. She "learned" it and did it a few times, but then just stopped and hasn't done it since. She started taunting after kills like I did, but then stopped and doesn't do it anymore.

So I don't know how any of this crap works, but it doesn't seem significant.
 
I have heard about these for awhile, now that I have seen them, I literally cannot believe they are a thing.

I had to stifle laughing out loud for real so I didn't have to embarrass myself by explaining that I was laughing at skylanders for grownups.

I grabbed Fox today, which puts me at 5 Amiibos so far. I want to run out and buy more but I'm trying to pace myself here!
Tempted to get a Fox myself. Maybe a Peach. Already have Mario, DK, Yoshi and Kirby.

I'm getting Hyrule Warriors at some point, so I kind of want Link for the Spinner, but I'm not too fond of the Link amiibo...

In the next wave, I'm interested in Captain Falcon, Pit and Diddy Kong. And then in the wave after that, Dedede and Toon Link, and maybe Bowser.

would it be lame if your high school friends find out you have these?

Alright now, Junior.

Teach me to be cool like you.
 
These are going to be a problem.

I own Mario and Fox, both are awesome.

I have the Villager and WiiFit Trainer coming in the mail.

And when I get paid, I'm searching out Samus.

I want the rest when I can afford them. :(
 
Recent pictures show a lot nicer looking figurines than pre release. Was it deliberately chosen poor angles, or are there still a lot of derpy looking amiibo?

it seem to be completely random. Like all manufactured products, is possible to get a bad batch.

I grabbed a random amiibo pikachu and just when I was about to pay for it, I noticed some weird red lines on his head. I returned to the shelf to get a better one.

I won't order one of these things online.

Yeah well I meant not only the paint, but also the weird Marth head. I guess I'm going to find out this friday.
 
Tru online fucked up my order and sent me two pikachus back the back instead of sending me the Kirby I ordered. Also still no sign of my Yoshi amiibo yet which supposedly shipped Saturday but I can't track it with the bogus tracking number they gave me. Anyways went to the store to physically exchange the extra pikachu and got a link instead after seeing literally two whole containers worth of Kirby's just sitting there with virtually no other amiibos in sight. Figured I could always get Kirby later then lol. Pleased with the quality of my link, the pee stand isn't really that jarring in person and the figure still looks nice. Man I wasn't planning on getting a lot of these but I'm hooked now.
 
So whenever I try setting up my Amiibo through SSB4, it freezes on the nickname screen. I choose my color, I select the option to choose nickname, and then once the keyboard comes up I can't do anything. I've tried this multiple times with multiple different Amiibos.

Has anyone else had this problem? All I can do once it freezes is reset the system. Oddly enough the Amiibos work fine with the system menu and with Mario Kart 8.

Disc or DD?
 
Launch night -- I say, "Maybe I'll get one amiibo," and then I get two.

"OK, two is enough," says I. The next day, I buy two more.

"OK, four is enough," says I. A few days later:

Six should be enough... Right?

Although Link looked better than expected. Hmm.

But yes six should enough

I just wish they'd let me play my PS3 games
 
Maybe I'm just jaded from all the shitty Marth's I've seen but I think my Marth looks pretty darn good. Took a complete chance on him too considering I bought it online. Sword was perfect and everything.

You sound like an anime villain

Anyways, maybe if the next bunch of Amiibos look like poo, I'll commision that guy who does doll repaints.

I got Kirby because I've always wanted some Kirby merch. And it's hard to screw him up so he looks great! (though the same can't be said for all who bought him)

Thanks for the laugh! haha
This was a joke post right? Man you are so funny!
 
Try deleting the amiibo info in the OS settings and starting over or try another amiibo.

I've tried that multiple times. I've also deleted and re-installed the SSB update data. Still no luck.

What exactly is supposed to happen after you choose "OK" when it asks you to choose a nickname for your Amiibo? Does it show the keyboard on both the TV and the Gamepad? Because for me it's only showing on the TV. The Gamepad stays stuck on the "Choose your Color" screen but no input does anything (except for the TV button, oddly enough).

Ahhhhh this is so frustrating!

That's really strange. :( I don't know what could cause that besides a messed-up console or messed-up Smash disc, assuming the Smash save data itself isn't messed up.
 
My Amazon haul:

Amazon creased the flap pretty good, so I may look for a replacement Marth and keep him to crack open sometime.

Are Link's eyes like this on all models? Looks odd to me.

My buddy saw a Marth at the store today and picked it up for me. Debating if I should open it to use alongside my Samus. I want to collect them but I generally only collect things I can use and enjoy. Hence why I collect games and only games I like.

I know the collector value on Marth is gone when I open him.
 

Link looks cross-eyed in that pic.

most of the links that i saw in stores were like that. A few of them were slightly different.

Yeah, I noticed it too while I was choosing one in the store...took the one that looked the best and had the less painting imperfection of the bunch. I tried to take a similar pic of mine for comparison's sake.

I think it looks a little less bad, but I'm not sure if that's just the angle. :lol

Thinking about the following names:

Kirby (White) -- Marshy
Yoshi (Black) -- Ja Rule
DK (Pink) -- Boosta
Mario (Fire) -- The Fonz
Peach (Fire) -- Cutesy
Fox (Wolf) -- Stairfax

Can you put spaces in amiibo names?
