PAST SEASONS

S2: Luigi debuted in Season 2 which up until this point was his shining moment. He had quite a few Top 3 performances even though he didn't manage to win any of the tournaments that season. Season 2 only had 23 competitors, so it was a little easier for the amiibos to shine. As time progressed, many more amiibos were added to the ranks, and that is when things started to get rocky for Luigi.

S3: Season 3 was Gauntlets where the only way to really advance was to win a series of matches to push yourself up the ladder. Luigi didn't thrive as much in this environment as I expected him to. He was definitely overshadowed by Mario. This was Mario's defining moment as a competitor in Amiibo Wars, and Luigi wasn't looking so strong anymore. Mario had taken his position and did it even better.

S4: Season 4 made some drastic changes to the formula once again, doing away with the point system and bringing in permanent eliminations. This made it even more challenging because the amiibos had to perform to keep themselves in the game. Luigi seemed more in his element this season, as competitors dropped like flies, Luigi managed to keep himself above water and even got some top scores in some of the groups. Out of 32 amiibos, Luigi made the halfway point, finishing in 16th place. It was becoming pretty clear that he just didn't seem to have what it took to take it to the next level, but secured enough sway to keep himself in the game at least through the middle of the seasons. Luigi was the ultimate Mid-Tier Competitor.

S5: Season 5 saw the return of Perma-Elimination as well as a handful of new amiibos making their debut. The Challenger Series was a new addition to the competition where we saw a hefty amount of eliminations before the tournament even began. It was now a fight for the Top 20, and only the best of the best made the big stage. Luigi seemed to have a good enough reputation to put himself at least in the Top 20, so things were looking good. This was until his ultimate rival, Mario was placed in his group as well as another Amiibo Wars Top Contender Mega Man, who really put Luigi through hell. Sadly, these two amiibos sealed his fate and put him out of the competition before he could even get started. This was Luigi's lowest point so far in his career and going into Season 6, I was certain he'd make improvements.

S6: Season 6 introduced Wildcard, a variation of The Challenger Series that pits smaller groups against eachother to determine who stays and who goes on their quest to obtaining a Top 20 spot in Season 6. Luigi competes in Wildcard #2 against last seasons big rival, Mega Man. Both do a good job in this group and then the unthinkable happens, Mega Man/Luigi are tied for the 3rd spot and only one of them can advance. The two go head to head in what looked like Mega Man's series at first, but Luigi turned it around and took it home, advancing in the competition and putting out Mega Man early. This was sweet revenge for last season. Luigi is currently still in the running towards the Top 20 for Season 6.
