PAST SEASONS

S2: Little Mac debuts on Season 2. He didn't get very far because his introduction was very late into the season. Mac's debut wasn't great but it wasn't awful either. His win loss was pretty 50/50. I wasn't really sure how he was gonna fair in Amiibo Wars solely based on his weak off stage game. Back then, Little Mac wasn't as overly hyped as he is now.

S3: This season was the best thing for Little Mac. The Season of Gauntlets allowed Little Mac to storm through 1v1's to advance. This is where he really showed his strength in Amiibo Wars. With his placements putting him around the middle of the pack, it was a surprise to see him climb from around 12th place all the way to the #1 Spot. He really showed his 1v1 strength, holding that spot for most of the season. But, in the end Mario managed to take him down and take the spot for himself. Little Mac was so close to a Championship Win he could taste it. He ended the season in 2nd place.

S4: Season 4 was the worst season in Little Mac's career. Whether or not it was a fluke, that's debatable. In Amiibo Wars, there's a possibility of anyone being eliminated at any time. He's not the only strong competitor to show a moment of weakness, some of the best have seen an early demise. In this case though, Little Mac was out in round 1. Granted, the majority of group round matches in Season 4 were 3 Way/4 Way/Team Matches, which is Little Mac's weakness. This group included notable competitors, Ness/Link/Zelda/Peach/Toon Link, all of which are amazing in group environments. I think Little Mac got the short end of the stick this Season, which ultimately led to his placement in the rankings being lower than it should've been.

S5: With Season 5 featuring a significant 1v1 Phase in the Challenger Series, Little Mac was given a chance to shine. Only dropping 3 matches in Phase 1 and holding his own in Phase 2. Mac pummeled his way to the Top 20, where he fought his way to the top of the pack once again. His road wasn't the easiest, battling out of the Bottom 2 and Bottom 3 a few times. But he did manage to finish the season in 3rd/4th place, tied with Ness. Now that the formula for Amiibo Wars is allowing for 1v1 Match and Group Match Competitors to shine, it gives Little Mac more of a fighting chance to ensure his spot in the Top 20.

S6: This season started out a little different for Mac. Seeing as the Top 3 from last season were given a by to the Top 20 of Season 6, his tie with Ness means only one of them can advance. At the start of the Season, Wildcard #1, we kicked things off with an amazing Best of 5 between Mac/Ness to determine who would get the by to the Top 20. Coming down to the wire, Ness gets the edge over Mac, forcing him to battle his way to Season 6 like the rest of them. Needless to say, Mac was devastated. Tilted after this loss to Ness, his performance in the Wildcard was not up to standard for him. 1 point kept Mac from elimination, he just barely manages to advance. The Challenger Series was a different story. Being matched with lesser knowns, Bowser Jr/Mii Swordsman, Little Mac took advantage of their inexperience and easily carved a spot for himself in the Top 20. Can he get his revenge on Ness and the others? Or will he tilt once again? Keep posted for more Season 6, coming soon!!
