PAST SEASONS

S3: Shulk's debut went a lot better than most. Though he wasn't in the spotlight or making any big waves, he did manage to land himself in the mid tier war that took place around 10th-20th place. This was probably the most up and down competitive range of the entire season and some big names got stuck in that area of the ladder. Considering this was his first season competing, I'd say he did a pretty good job of holding on and not wavering. Shulk finishes Season 3 in 12th Place.

S4: Because he didn't really stand out too much in Season 3, I wasn't really sure where Shulk was going to end up. At the start of Season 4, Shulk was sitting around the middle of the pack, insuring his safety from being eliminated but not really dominating any of the groups. It was looking to be Ness' tournament to win, as he was winning the majority of the groups early on. Around Top 20 is when Shulk stepped out of the shadows and had the best run I think I've ever seen in Amiibo Wars history. Shulk obliterated the competition, winning every single group from Top 20 all the way to Final 2. He was our Season 4 Champion, and he looked untouchable.

S5: As Season 5 rolled around and the format from Season 4 didn't change too much, I was worried that Shulk might be a little too strong. I want to see a challenge, I want Amiibo Wars to be balanced, and after Season 4, Shulk was looking like a monster. Shulk rampages through The Challenger Series, only losing one match in its entirety, he gets the top score of the entire series. In the Top 20, things change a little bit, there's a newcomer right on his heels and it makes him nervous. Dark Pit is showing signs of dominance that we'd only seen in Shulk so far. He matches his scores every round, if not doing better. It becomes the rivalry of the series, and in the end, it comes down to them in the Final 4 as both of them dominate Ness/Little Mac for top points. In the end 2 points separate the two titans, and history is made as Shulk is the first amiibo to ever win 2 Championships. In the end it was a nail biter and honestly could've went to either one of them. The competition in Amiibo Wars has gotten so good, I don't think Shulk will be able to hold that top spot forever.

S6: Season 6 allowed for the top scorers of last season to receive a by to the Top 20. Shulk/Dark Pit/Ness were automatically sent to Top 20's Team Turmoil where the Championship will be decided. Will Shulk once again prove he's the king of Amiibo Wars? Or will reliance on a Teammate finally be what drags him down? Stay tuned for more Season 6 updates!
