Topic: Having a hard time with Ryu

So I recently bought a Nintendo Switch after playing with the Switch Lite for about half a year. Apparently, buying one Nintendo merchandise leads to buying another one and so on and so forth. I purchased the Ryu Amiibo for my Super Smash Bros Ultimate game title. I am now in level 32 after inheriting some Spirits and indulging in a few Smash games. The problem I have with my Ryu amiibo is he’s hard to control, meaning he responds poorly to my buttons/controllers. Could it be that he’s powerful already with the assorted Spirit enhancements that he moves differently and is too powerful by now? Or could it be that I haven’t trained him as much? Which of the two? Please help me as it’s a little disappointing playing with him at this point. I’d rather play with the regular Ryu against a random player with 1 level difficulty. Needless to say, I’m a big fan of Street Fighter so having the amiibo toy figure on its own without NFC capabilities, is cool to own/collect.

@adorhino I am not entirely sure what you mean but you can't control the Amiibo fighter, they're a cpu, if you mean you're having difficulty teaching the Amiibo stuff I can only echo your opinion, they seem a little arbitrary in that sense, the best results I have seen are when players compulsively repeat techniques with the fighter using the same character. I hope that helps explain things.

@mr_somewhere So you just keep making them "inherit" spirit attributes until they reach a certain high level? I'm not so sure what fun is to be had here.

@adorhino My advice would be (I am not sure if there is a consensus in this) is to fight 1-1 with them (using the same character) from a low level to best ensure that they copy the techniques you are trying to teach them and save giving them spirits until towards the end, but to be honest I usually don't use the spirits until around that point in order to give them a fun gimmick. It can be fun, especially if you have friends local or online that you can mess around with but it's certainly niche.

I read somewhere that “learning” your enemy’s style isn’t necessarily a wise choice. Some turn off this feature altogether.

My best tips are to don’t overthink your flirting technique, just be yourself, don't come on too strong and remember to have fun most of all.

Oh, wait. Sorry, I only read the thread title and thought this was about something else. ;p
