Bayonetta, Sheik, and Zero Suit Samus all have something in common: they’re not very good FPs. In the context of our amiibo tier list, these three fighters are very close to “bottom-of-the-barrel”, and unfortunately that doesn’t look to be changing anytime soon. If you’d like to learn more about Zero Suit Samus’ metagame history before we continue, please refer to her corresponding wiki page. Otherwise, let’s jump right into today’s training!

Dark Samus is – as you might have guessed – Samus’ Echo Fighter! They’re virtually identical, save for one key difference: Dark Samus is much cooler. Aside from different animations, victory screens, and a slight difference in posture, the two play exactly the same as each other. Keeping in line with this pattern, our Samus and Dark Samus guides are also the same as each other! We do have a wiki page available for Dark Samus if you’d like to give it a read before you continue. Otherwise, let’s jump right into today’s training!

If you’ve taken a look at our tier list, you might notice that Ridley is considered high-tier in competitive amiibo training. It wasn’t always this way, though; in the early days of the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate metagame, trainers really struggled with this character. Fortunately, within a few short months, the community got Ridley all figured out, and he’s emerged as a dominant force in high-level tournament brackets. If you’d like to read more about Ridley’s metagame history, you can do so over at his wiki page. Otherwise, let’s jump right into today’s training!
