Cloud's Guide to Winning AWT6

With just over a week until the submission deadline, I still don't know who I want to submit. I've picked up both a Mewtwo and Lucario recently and I still can't decide.

Starting from the bottom, Greninja seems to be the weakest, with the lowest win percentage vs the others, but some of those random wins I just can't overlook. I don't think he's ever beaten Charizard though. He is pretty good at the Final Smash and rarely misses. Of all of them, his has one of two Final Smashes with a guaranteed KO among the Pokemon.

Next, Pikachu is built pretty tough and hangs in with everyone. He's hot and cold. Can't overlook his Final Smash, but I found it's not a guaranteed KO every time. I've had Lucario, Greninja, Mewtwo, and Pikachu himself avoid some of the hits and been able to recover from the Final Smash.

Third, Mewtwo hits like a truck and is starting to combo in aerials lately. He is still pretty young and needs to play better defense and charge that Shadow Ball more. His is the other one with the guaranteed KO if it hits. He's missed a couple of times, but it's rare.

Fourth, Lucario, my newest trainee. Sometimes makes me wish I had a Critical Hit to give him, but honestly, he doesn't need it. Like Mewtwo, needs to play better defensively, especially at higher percentages, so he's not cheaply KO'd when he is at his strongest. Plus charge that Force Ball! He actually sucks with his Final Smash and is not aggressive post-transformation, but he's pretty good at getting it before anyone else.

Last, but top of the list at the moment is Charizard. Probably my most experienced Pokemon amiibo, plays defense well and is properly aggressive when necessary. The only flaws in his game are a case of the hops, thanks to learning that he can use his air attacks, specifically his F-air easier thanks to 1.1.5, and how bad he is with his Final Smash. Maybe it's that the other amiibo know to be mobile when Charizard gets his Final Smash or maybe Charizard needs to use his Dragon Rush over his Fire Blast when chasing opponents post-transformation.

Thankfully, I still have a lot of time to train and evaluate prior to the tournament.

Guys, just what ever you do, don't enter Greninja lol

Unless you're like 100% confident that your Greninja is a beast. In that case, go right ahead lol

That's definitely a pretty huge problem when it comes to that stage. I honesty wonder why Dan never accounts for that, in a Pokémon tourney of all things too.

Just had it happen again today in a little spar between Charizard and Mewtwo. At the worst possible time for Mewtwo also. Tournament situation and tournament rules. 3rd match, Omega Boxing Ring. Charizard won the first, Mewtwo won the second. Deciding match. Both amiibo are down to their last stock, sitting around 40% damage. Charizard throws Mewtwo off to the left and Mewtwo teleports, bonks, bounces and SDs. Game. It's always on the left side of Omega Boxing Ring and only so far with Mewtwo. Right now, it is too big of a liability for me to even consider entering Mewtwo, no matter how good he gets.

If I had a mewtwo amiibo for every time that happened to my mewtwo amiibo, I'd have more Mewtwos then MarioTehPlumber has Rosalinas.

This is the main reason why Im not entering Mewtwo and instead Lucario. I dont want him to SD twice in a row after all we've done to grow strong.

So yeah, I agree with TheEleh. It should be banned tbh.
