Welcome back! It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these, but starting today, we’ll be sure to update you all whenever our amiibo tier list is changed. And, by sheer coincidence, it has! There’s been a lot going on in our metagame over the past few months, so check out some of the rises and drops that have occurred!

Should you take amiibo training seriously?
Probably not. Wait, what? If you’re new to the amiibo training community, that answer might surprise you. After all, our metagame is just as complex as any other (maybe), so doesn’t that make it worth taking seriously? In my opinion, not really. That being said, amiibo training in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate still has a lot to offer! Let’s take a look at some core components of the competitive scene and why taking it too seriously could be bad for the community as a whole.

Unfortunately, we’ve had an issue within the past few months: plagiarism of our guides. Several “news sites” have created their own amiibo training guides, but are actually rewording an outdated guide I posted years ago. Today, I’m going to debunk my own writings and explain why so many journalists have essentially copy-pasted my old work.
