Figure Player

Figure Player(s) (abbreiviated as "FP" and "FPs') are A.I characters first introduced in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U under the name "amiibo", and was later introduced in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. amiibo, can be scanned by the; Wii U GamePad, Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer (sold seperately), and New Nintendo 3DS/XL.

This allows the character to used in-game as customizable A.I fighters. amiibo stats will be changed by "feeding" them epuipment and changing it's Custom Moves, but there is a limit to how many times an amiibo can be fed before battle. The amiibo can learn up to three "Bonus effects" at a time from the epuipment they are given. By default, the amiibo stats total is capped at "120". amiibo can also be given a name as well as changing the FPs colored outfit. FPs start at level 1, weaker than the average CPU player, but with good training they will be able to surpass tough opponents. Figure Players are often compared to Computer Players because they both use A.I.

As the Figure Player levels up over time they'll "learn" techinques: For Example, if a fighter uses long-ranged, camping attacks, then the amiibo will learn it. amiibo can learn even after reaching Lv.50 (maximum). In Addition, an amiibo can gain improved fighting stats such as; Improved Attack Power, Defense, Knockback, and Reaction Times the higher level it is. Finally, higher-leveled amiibo can adapt to individual matches faster than lower-leveled amiibo; if an opponent takes on an aggressive, rush-down style attacks against the amiibo in one match, for instance, it will make more use of it's defensive techiques like spot-dodges and rolls.

However, even higher leveled amiibo have their flaws on complex stages, like walking back and forth on stages like Gaur Plain. amiibo can also win prizes like; Gold, Custom Parts, Trophies, and Mii Fighter Gear. The longer the amiibo fights, the more prizes it will gain. These items can be received when tapping the amiibo the owner's Wii U GamePad. While Super Smash Bros. for Wii U natively supportes amiibo, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS was unable to do so at launch. Version 1.0.5, released on February 9, 2015, added amiibo support for; Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL, and New Nintendo 3DS. A Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer Adapter is required to use amiibo on Nintendo 3DS/XL and Nintendo 2DS, while New Nintendo 3DS/XL users have built-in amiibo support on the handheld's.
