Going to try doing an #SSBU #amiibo tourney tomorrow. The one amiibo I own (thanks to my sister for that!) is the #SSBU_Sheik one, which I recently found out is one of the worst ones... but eh that's fine 🤷‍♂️

So my #SSBU Sheik #amiibo figure player did fairly well. I had done research on how to train FPs and learned about Ultimate's (theoretical, anyway) mechanics for training FPs.
Supposedly, when you KO your FP with a move it has, or it gets KO'd with that move, that move's "slider" goes up (meaning that your FP uses it more). And when it gets dealt damage with a move it has, or it deals damage with a move it has, the slider goes up a little.
[1/3]

The instructions I read and watched acted a bit like they knew more than the developers. So instead of following their methods of almost exclusively training the FP in moves FP AI is understood to be best at, I pretty much just fought it like the way I usually do but with the sliders thing in mind (probably roughly what Nintendo had in mind). Some of the clips I saw showed FPs acting rather unintelligent, as if they avoided certain moves entirely; I didn't want my FP to behave like that.
[2/3]

I wanted to have all the sliders up, so the AI could choose what was appropriate, and use its full moveset, but with some sliders turned up extra as I judged. I avoided "spamming" any moves, and tried to use prioritize moves I thought it would be better at.
I'm glad to say that my FP turned out pretty well, even behaving better than I thought was possible, for a Sheik amiibo. Heh, or maybe I just lucked out, and my theorizing was irrelevant. I didn't even spend a lot of time training it.
[3/3]
