PAST SEASONS
S1: Much like many of the amiibos that debut, Peach was the pioneer of the slow start. She finished the season in last place. Granted, at the time there was only 10 amiibos. Peach didn't seem as strong as the others and didn't look to have the capabilities that certain other amiibos had. I started to question her effectiveness in general, but I was definitely wrong on that judgment. This was just the beginning, and she helped me realize, some amiibos just need a little more time to shine.

S2: In Season 2, the number of competitors more than doubled. Peach now had even more competition than she already had, and it wasn't looking great for her. Luckily, this increase in amiibos allowed her to develop a more varied playstyle and she was making improvements. He Win/Loss changed drastically from Season 1 and she was no longer negative. Maybe she has something, maybe she is actually getting stronger and maybe she has what it takes to compete with those top tier amiibos.

S3: The Season of Gauntlets. Peach had an above average placement score and maintained her position the whole season. Though she didn't make any outstanding pushes toward the top, she made sure she stayed within the Top 10. This was her best season so far, finishing in 11th place out of 32 amiibos. Peach was an OG at this point, and her experience was starting to show. She may have had a rough start, but now she was actually taking games off some of the best in the business.

S4: The Season 4 Perma-Elimination rules really shook things up a bit, especially for the newer amiibos who really didn't have the experience to hang in there. With the newbies dropping like flies, the veterans of Amiibo Wars were hanging on for dear life. Peach didn't land any Top Scores or make any serious fumbles. She was becoming very consistent and was able to make it into the Top 10 this time, placing 9th out of 37 amiibos. While most of her Season 1 Fam was fluctuating in their scores, Peach always managed to stay towards the top. Though her scores didn't ever take her REALLY high, you could always count on her to make it far.

S5: The Challenger Series was introduced in Season 5, most of the amiibos wouldn't even make it to the Top 20. As new amiibos keep coming in, the veterans are given a bone. Pick off the newbies and maintain their high ranks in the standings. Peach was now a seasoned fighter, and she always seemed to have an edge over the newcomers. Peach could hang in a 1v1 and in FFA/Team Matches. This definitely played in her favor and placed her into the Top 20. After surviving a few Bottom 2 scares, she made it to 16th place before being eliminated. The competition is heating up and the newcomers she used to be able to win off of aren't so easy to beat anymore. This could cause issues for Peach.

S6: The introductions of The Wildcard Pre-Season series isolated the competitors into smaller groups, insuring that they have to fight for their spots this time. There is no where to hide when you're split into groups of 6. This Season's all about skill, and as Peach was placed into Wildcard #1, it seemed the competitors were a little too much for her. She was a victim of an unlucky placement, Jigglypuff/Charizard/Little Mac, are all amazing Previous Top 20 amiibos and deserved to advance. I feel that if Peach had an easier group, she definitely would have moved on. Sadly, this will hurt her ranking and is probably her lowest point so far in Amiibo Wars.
