PAST SEASONS
S2: Mega Man didn't have a lot of time in Season 2 to compete. He joined in very late into the season when it was nearing it's end. His start wasn't the best, he lost most of his matches, even though he was putting up a good fight. This season wasn't held against him, I feel like he really didn't start until Season 3.
S3: In Season 3, Mega Man had a decent placement, putting him around the middle of the pack. As time progressed he did fairly well in his gauntlets, rising some in the ranks each round. Ultimately Mega Man landed himself in 7th Place, a great start in Amiibo Wars. Mega Man looked pretty strong in 1v1's and even Team/FFA Matches. Mega Man was learning and improving, and it seemed like he could hang with the best of them.
S4: As the seasons progressed, Mega Man was adapting and improving. After facing an amiibo he struggled with, he would find ways to counter them, like an amiibo should. Mega Man started out pretty strong in Season 4, he kept himself out of danger of elimination for the majority of the competition. When he finally drops to the bottom, a tie breaker with Pit is required for him to stay in the game. After a hard fought battle, it's Pit that comes out victorious, putting Mega Man out at 11th Place. He saw a dip in placement from Season 3 but it wasn't too bad.
S5: The Challenger Series was no problem for Mega Man. Even in probably the more difficult group, he battled out of it with great 1v1 and Team/FFA scores. He was looking very strong at the beginning, as usual, he's clearly a top contender who makes quick work of the greener/easier amiibos. Mega Man proved his strength in 1v1's beating Shulk/Mario/Dark Pit in the same group. But he started falling short in the Team/FFA matches. Though he is better than others in that area, it is more of a weakness than his 1v1's. He did a good job keeping himself out of the Bottom 2, but when the Bottom 2 turned to a Bottom 3, he found himself in a sticky situation. Forced into an elimination round with Sheik/Robin, Mega Man struggled against Sheik where Robin did not and in the end, his inability to 3:0 Robin led to his demise. Mega Man finished Season 5 in 14th Place. Another small slip in his rankings.
S6: Mega Man's dark day has finally come. The Wildcard Preseason Event broke down the competitors into smaller groups to weed out some of the competition before The Challenger Series. Placed in a group with some incredible Amiibo Wars Veterans, this group was set to send some greats out early. With a reputation for doing great in 1v1 rounds, Mega Man didn't meet his expections. He struggled in the group, and with Link/Toon Link dominating the majority of the event, Mega Man ended up in danger, forced to face Luigi in a tie breaker to determine who stays and who goes. Mega Man came out strong, looking completely in control on their first match, but Luigi figured him out. The next 3 victories went the plumbers way and now Mega Man is left in a situation where he is out before The Challenger Series even starts. This is going to destroy his place in the rankings for a long time to come. It's sad to see, but a lot of amiibos have had this happen. Hopefully he can come back from this and prove he still has what it takes to hang with the Top Tier Amiibos.
