For everyone who has SM4SH WiiU now and consider collecting as many Amiibos as you can:
Lootcrate partners up with Nintendo (or rather the other way around) and created an Amiibo Loot Crate that sends 10 pre-selected figures to all subscirbers.

To quote:

businesswire.com wrote:

By signing up for an “amiibo Subscription Service,” subscribers will receive 10 pre-selected amiibo (including Mario, Pikachu, Donkey Kong, Fox and Yoshi) separated into three special Loot Crate shipments throughout the holiday season without ever having to leave their homes.
<source> <official lootcrate page>

Note that you'll pay a monthly subscription of 30$ per month and they plan on putting around 3 amiibos per crate they send off.
This is already a huge steal for your buck as amiibos run on a limited stock as i earlier mentioned so if the demand is great (which i highly presume given how many peple it targets; collectors, smash-fans and casuals alike) and your luck is high (if you're given one of the limited amiibos) you can save a lot of money while also receiving some other goodies along your amiibos.

With this said; i highly recommend anyone to buy figurines they think will run on a limited production as those will be pretty much rare to obtain later in less than a year from now on

If you're a collector of things it's highly advised to have a look out for amiibos such as Marth, WFT and Villager as those 3 will run on a limited stock.

Nintendo also launched an official amiibo website

Also, is this just an mistake or why is Marth's amiibo page say it's also compatible with Hyrule Warriors?
Edit: Nevermind the page is still pretty early on it's launch so the staff didn't had time to put all the characters in their amiibo specific games, hence all amiibos as of right now are listed compatible for Hyrule Warriors.

My post was aimed towards everyone here and i know the article/lootcrate thing dates back a few weeks ago and i've seen it on multiple smash-related-boards since aswell.

But i thought the post was highly relevant since SM4SH Wii U just launched for NA officialy and since the majority of the lootcrate subscriptions come from the US it would be a golden opportunity to get the deal going before the rest of the world gets their hands on the game.

Also to 50% relevant; but New Zealand and Australia finally have the benifit of getting their hands on the New Nintendo 3DS (XL) before the rest of the world as it got released today, except Japan who got theirs a month earlier.
Still TBA for NA and EU.

Posted that already in the 3DS thread months ago.

Anyway, back to the amiibo: you'd think 3DS support would come out either before or around the same time as the Wii U side. I mean... we had SSB 3DS for how long already yet we're just now getting amiibo, and... yeah... There'd better be some benefit bringing stuff from the Wii U version to the 3DS version.

EDIT: SSB 3DS' current Conquest (dunno about Wii U's side) is Team Omega Ruby (Charizard & Pikachu) vs. Team Alpha Sapphire (Lucario & Greninja) and will only last for four days.

Off-Topic:
I highly doubt Nintendo can change something significant on the 3DS side by using your Wii U in any way.
Mainly because of the hardware limitations and partially because the Wii U is their current gen console runner up and they want to give it more attention to the public as opposed to the 3DS that already sold 45 million units compared to the approximataly 7~ million Wii U's.
They do however, try to merge 3DS sales with the Wii U sales with their attempt of making your 3DS work as a controller on the SM4SH Wii U and have Mewtwo as an promotional DLC if you get both copies of SM4SH.

Releasing Amiibos just support this statement as they focus on trying to make the Wii U sell better than the first few years it initially released.

On-Topic:
However, there's still chances that amiibos made for different games might come in handy for the future of SM4SH.
My thoughts here would be an Wolf amiibo that's coming alongside with Starfox Wii U and that you unlock Wolf with in SM4SH Wii U, that you could transfer it to your SM4SH 3DS.
Or a Roy amiibo for Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei that unlocks Roy with the same principle (unlocks Roy for SM4SH Wii U and then can be ported to the 3DS version).
I mean it's technically not DLC, if they come with the games you buy.

It leaves a lot of options open for the future of both consoles and it's games (namely SM4SH), as Nintendo is trying to slowly make their consoles/hardware respond to eachother more and more, especially since the New 3DS might come in handy in this act.

I've learned that doing the following when you're playing alone can raise your amiibo to Level 50:

- Playing 8-Player Smash for 2-2 1/2 hours (do Time or even Coin matches to accurately measure this; as the max limit setting aside from infinite is 99 minutes, you're gonna have to do more than one match)
- Items can be on or off
- You fight on a team with your amiibo
- All (the remaining six slots being) COMs are on Level 9
- Preferred (but not necessarily recommended) team format is 4 vs. 4
- Any stage EXCEPT Palutena's Temple as it's WAY too huge to even try to score KO's quickly (unless you set the Damage Ratio to 2.0 or something)

Of course, you could always do the normal 4-Player Smash, but you'll probably have to play longer. Again, this is assuming you're playing alone.

EDIT: So... this is just plain-out crazy: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/12/weirdness_that_dual_wielding_samus_amiibo_is_worth_usd2500_in_the_mad_world_of_ebay

I dunno man; seeing as how it's essentially a grab that whiffs outside of it's grabbox range.

Hm?
I actually use it as my grab on Lucario since I really can't get the hang of grabbing in the game (I normally hold my N3DS without my left finger on the L button), lol.

To me it's still more like a projectile than grab. But what do I know, I never use Lucario.

Force Palm (at least the default; no clue about the other two alternates since I don't like them) in these games is both a grab and a projectile (I main Lucario, btw).

Totally don't remember it being reflectable in Brawl. >_>
That's my bad I guess but that doesn't make it any less dumb, lol.

If it wasn't in Brawl, then it was probably because the extended range and power it gets when Lucario gets high damage needed to be nerfed somehow.

EDIT: Well... I'm officially annoyed... http://nintendoeverything.com/lucario-amiibo-pre-orders-sold-out-on-toys-r-us/ They're back in stock for preordering... for now.

Checked the Wii U's Conquest and this week it's a "Holiday Hattack!" It;s Team Red Hat (Mario, Ness & Diddy Kong) against Team Green Hat (Link, Toon Link & Luigi)

Also if you want to add friends to the Wii U version, you have to add them from the Wii U menu I think, you have to check out the last few players you encountered in the game you last played, I got at least ONE friend >.> but if you want a battle, my Nintendo Network ID is: SoyokazeTsuki

That's just a public list, essentially a popularity contest; note that Mario is ranked #11 while Dr. Mario is #39. It will still take some time before accurate commentary can be given to tournament viability, especially when you consider things like custom moves and banned stages.

Incidentally, I have virtually no idea how to fight Sonic. I only see him online on occasion and his playstyle is so wildly different that I just wing it. Still not as bad as fighting good Lucarios and Little Macs.

Lol I've never been a fan of these tier lists. Way too many factors too consider (and someone I know thinks I'm crazy for thinking so). I tend to have a lot of favourites that are no where near the top such as Ganondorf (who is my second or third favourite).

Even if he gets a nerf, players would then probably just find another character to rant on.



the fun thing is, Fox dominates Melee scene and everyone's somehow fine with that lol

People rant on a ton of things all the time, it's just how humans are. Imo tier lists are just another thing that people rant about because "omg this dude's broken so i bet i can become uber pro by maining him wwww" is something that probably runs through some people's minds after seeing said tier lists...

What they fail to realise is the specifics of said character. It's like comparing it to other video games where you need mastery of x amount of characters, and even if character y is broken, if you're bad at it then you're still bad at it no matter how broken it may become.

1 of 2 things: 1-They nerf its UP B Special, 2-They input a new rule that penalizes any attempt of stalling the game, like Instant K.O. or something

  1. Reggie custom stage
  2. You know amiibo are doing badly when... even Sakurai can't get the ones he wants
  3. Interesting info found within the Wii U game
  4. Falcon Potato
And for something that isn't SSB4-related: A Touhou SSB game coming to Wii U?

Anyone who registered both games will be getting it (doesn't have a gender), though I'm assuming codes won't be sent out till either next month or May.
