Ranking EVERY Smash Bros. amiibo - Everyone is Tier

[@rotallyPumpered]

Of course, there's no "wrong" way to display amiibo, but if you pay attention to the text on their base, you can determine what the intended front of the model is. It might encourage you to rotate your figures just a few degrees, but it might surprise you how much more charismatic their silhouettes typically look.

[@pigaboyAKAthecoolestguyonearth]

After reading this i immediately went to check my TOTK Ganondorf Amiibo. Turns out it's actually supposed to face you despite the fact that his pose is based on the sideways art. I guess the people who make these also noticed that the intended pose really isn't great.

[@bigtimenintendogamer8854]

No need to read the text, just display them with the smash logo facing the right way (same for the Zelda logo btw)

[@bananachild1936]

I wanted to collect each and every one of these amiibos but goddamn you'd have to spend a fortune and a re-seller's premium on like 90% of these as if you're a third worlder like me.

[@ShurikanBlade]

Yeah its awful. I'm so glad I started collecting when it came out cuz these new prices are jusy awful

[@Benjamillion]

Not just that but you need to have as much space as possible to have them all. I just gave up and bought an Amiijoy controller that has them all digitally stored inside of the controller itself to scan.

[@RobertoGon]

i have them all, it's such a chore to hunt every preorder

[@Dan_Letters]

Ya it's tough. I've slowly been adding to my collection. Something I found though is if you're on holiday in Europe and have space it's worth checking as I found some cheaper. I picked up 3 fire emblem Amiibo in Portugal all €12 each and they were at least double price here

[@TtimeXP]

when I started. I made a rule where I never spend more than $25 on 2nd hand Amiibos (with some exceptions). there are a number few that ive yet to see this low but thankfully retro resellers & reprints have filled my roaster. only missing 8 🫠 very financially stable I am 😭

[@AniMariBro]

I just want to inform you and everyone else that you can actually see ROB's jet boosters and underside details if you look through the space between his base and the trophy base. It's super well detailed and has no reason to exist, but they decided to add it anyway and I love it.

[@Axecon1]

I also really wish characters that got significant redesigns in Ultimate got new Amiibo

[@ooochoa]

Botw link for example

[@phoenixdouchebag904]

>No ALBW Zelda amiibo. >Chrom and Young Link get 2 amiibos despite looking the damn same. There is no point in life.

[@earthboundman5]

Daniel do you keep your amiibo near a window? That's likely what's causing the discoloration. The amiibo community is slowly discovering light damage as the years go on

[@_G.C]

Good thing I keep mine on a shelf away from the light. Glad to know this now because I really don't want the 30th anniversary mario to fade out

[@NeoAquaKun]

The surge in Amiibo related videos on YT lately has me as a collector very happy, ah maybe someday we will return to our 2015 glory of dozens of amiibo dropped every year.

[@podracer35]

That Sponsorship message was brilliant. Just have to comment appreciation for that. I've heard makeup brushes were good for something else recently (not mameup related, obviously) but can't remember what... I should probably get some. Have a great day, everyone!

[@dimwitsmash]

Listening to a man go in-depth on the texture and posing on an amiibo was something I always wanted in an amiibo tier list video ⭐️ Awesome work!

[@comfylain]

"It's just a flat man" in reference to Mr. Game & Watch made me chuckle out loud. I actually really like his amiibo, but still. Lol.

[@Triforce9426]

You managed to collect the entire Smash lineup as well. This was a long, expensive, and often stressful journey we've been on and I'm so glad it's finally over.

[@jaredkhan8743]

Bro me too. The last smash one I needed was gold mega man after I got Sora and had to spend a fortune on eBay 😭😭😭 I never wanna do shit like this again

[@Triforce9426]

@@jaredkhan8743 I mean, I guess there are a couple nuanced ones like Gold MegaMan and Famicom ROB I didn't bother with. Regular ROB and Mega are fine and I can still say no cap that I have the entire roster including all the P2 ones.

[@TimeGodDioBrando]

Don't judge Link just because his sword is always floppy. Some people can't help it.

[@mapofthelabyrinth3544]

Honestly. And Young Links three inch sword is totally fine too. It's actually massive if you think about it.

[@ShurikanBlade]

Im pretty sure samus pose is based off her entrance animation/when she gets off a save place in metroid

[@BJGvideos]

Yeah, I haven't played more than like half an hour of Super Metroid but that was clear even to me as a standard Samus pose.

[@ColtonMyers1]

I really wish we would have gotten reprints of a couple characters where Nintendo addressed their faces (a la Marth and Villager) - namely, Palutena, Shulk, and Lucina! They’d look so much better made today!

[@IAmNotAFunguy]

Now we need a ranking video for the other amiibo in a series! Or even just all of them in general!...

[@minikiwigeek2]

I have a small but slowly growing collection of amiibo sitting on the shelf on top of my TV, and they look really cool. I used to get them for the in-game benefits, but now I just get them because they look cool. You have no idea how badly I want that Mega Yarn Yoshi and Qbby amiibo.

[@catticorner]

such a fun, chill video! i've always dreamed of having a full smash amiibo collection like this, but without the space to store them or the extra cash to buy them, it's really nice to get a look at all of them like this :)

[@BJGvideos]

I love the Kefka perler in the background there. Terra was my most wanted Smash character. Also, a good place to display amiibos and other small figures is on spice racks! You can fit them on a regular shelf and they're tiered, so you can fit three times the figures in one space.

[@RainTheWolfie]

The reason Sheik goes before Zelda is because Sheik was confirmed in the E3 Trailer, but not Zelda.

[@BJGvideos]

You see Sheik playing the harp, then she looks up, and we see Zelda's reflection making the same gesture. It's more confirmation of Zelda than Dark Pit got.

[@RainTheWolfie]

@@BJGvideos Yeah, but Zelda herself wasn’t confirmed until later on.

[@podracer35]

39:38 Yeah, pretty much the exact same story for me ahahaha I told myself "I'll only get the characters I like" and then justified to myself likeing pretty mucb every Smash Character.

[@fammydamammy]

hey thats my tiermaker template being used here! this is a really great video! as for why olimar is there twice I made a small oopsie and tiermaker wouldnt let me delete the other lol

[@air-iq]

Daniel complaining about plastic supports for an hour. But really there's a lot of good here I wish he would've tackled it in release order instead to show the progression of them. Also yellowing plastic understanding that as a concept for materials it happens. And I understand not being thrilled with the supports it's not an easy thing but we're talking about relatively inexpensive figures too and not wanting them to be too fragile.

[@Spindash54]

I would’ve taken them in the Number order they put on the EU/UK packaging for the Smash series.

[@Minochu96]

first time I've been threatened to have a good day xD tho I like the idea of using brushes to clear away dust from your Amiibo tho I personally put them in little chases with a door on them, to avoid them collection dust in the first place I would've liked to see the new Ultimate designs of the characters (like the Miis, Link, Zelda and Ganondorf) get an Smash Amiibo too tho as well as the characters that's alt costumes, like Enderman, Zoombie, Alph and the Koopalings

[@playteles123]

I'm not into amibo at all but really enjoyed this video and some of the more playful cut scenes. Great job on this

[@TheBlur182]

I have an Ivysaur amiibo that I look at everyday and I'm just thinking Damn! It's so pretty !!!

[@TheDavidVAs]

Daniel placing the Steve amiibo upside down was more funny than it had any right to.

[@cjt217]

LMAO, the legendary Daniel with the ad break. This man has the goodest of vibes

[@iggynachos]

Congrats on getting them all! I enjoyed watching this video and now has some amiibo on my wishlist. Thanks!

[@senninmn]

The parachute Mr. Game and Watch bit got me LMAO

[@XP9724]

20:41 Foxes scouter was originally transparent in the same trailer they showed with the narrow clear supports. It changed when they lowered the quality for the final product tho

[@podracer35]

Yeah, the transparent scouter would have looked so good. I at least appreciate that on some like mine, the scouter is a bit separated from his face so you can see his eye under it.

[@cann3913]

Olimar in D tier twice is madness

[@santiago6017]

Love the chill vibes and personality. You sir have earned my subscription. Keep up the good work 🎉

[@MrDimrey]

Wow the cleaning tipp was very helpful, have a great day too Daniel❤

[@heroic_teddy]

Phenomenal video! This took a lot of work, and I know you had to use a new setup but I enjoyed it a lot!

[@shotguntornado]

The first 3 S-tiers are my 3 mains. You love to see it.

[@ShallBePurified]

It's really funny having my Pyra and Mythra amiibos right next to the scale figure because the quality is night and day. It's amazing how making these anime figures bigger can do to make them look way nicer. And also not mass producing them.

[@salvatore2453]

Amiibo: *has a stand to support the pose* Him: you'll be banished to the D tier chasm

[@blazestar2590]

I remember when amiibo first came out thinking i was just going to get a few at most and that was it. Now i have not just almost all the Smash amiibo (only missing Daisy and Ken), but i have 160 in total. It was a lot of time and money spent, but i can't deny its been fun and satisfying seeing my collection grow throughout the years.

[@StevenUlyssesPerhero]

25:20 You know Daniel is an OG because he's calling Roy's sword "the Sword of Seals" instead of "the Binding Blade."

[@MegaAmpster]

Thank you very much Dan for that ad 😂

[@sjb626]

I’m only 20 minutes in but Sheik in D tier is crazy. Maybe my memory of going to Target at 7am on that launch day is giving me some bias but still you’re wild for that one lol

[@chunkymonkey7983]

Nah, he's definitely being too harsh with the stand stuff

[@matthewisguy7336]

Wow what a trooper for going that day at 7AM 🫡

[@Nay089]

Excellent video! I disagree with the hate for the flame swords though, the Byleth amiibo looks badass lol

[@rileyfreeberg9933]

This was just the video I wanted on Amiibos. Thank you!

[@mauricioalcala4074]

beautiful collection

[@BLamb]

The Mario amiibo will always be my favorite. Not only is it, of course, because of personal bias - Mario’s my favorite video game character, had an influence on my KZbin icon, was my main introduction into gaming, the main reason I love gaming in the first place, I grew up with him for many years, and he’s had a major impact in my life overall - but that fireball effect is just the coolest; not too many amiibo have effects like that, and it certainly wasn’t necessary for him. But they did it anyway, and it looks sick.

[@Dan_Letters]

I like the knitted Yoshi Amiibo. But probably my top top fav amiibos are the Guardian from BOTW, Magnamalo and Malzeno from Monster Hunter

[@Monstermunchies]

I think the pirana plant might be my favorite amibo, it just looks so good! By the way a great example of a support done well is on the breath of the wild archer amibo, they made it into like a gust of wind because link is in the air doing the bullet time pose

[@carlosflores-gaytan1589]

24:19 "Mewtoo is all hips and tighs" Any MinnMax viewers thinking of Hailey McLean's crush? lol.

[@N7Link]

Well done impressive collection. I never went full on Smash amiibo collect but because Zelda is my favorite game series I have collected all the Zelda ones. Good enough for me with a couple other ones from different series.

[@feelingdreepy8564]

Loved the video and would also enjoy another video reviewing all the other amiibo that weren't included in this one

[@PowerfulMint]

We simply do not deserve an hour 30 of Daniel goodness

[@tagonizer]

Haven't heard you say it, but it's worth mentioning that the original WIi U line of amiibo are all based on the character poses from the select screen. So you can thank Sakurai for how Luigi got done dirty!

[@matthewisguy7336]

24:50 Timestamp for sudden ganondorf disrespect lol

[@SportsGaming-ll3ru]

Now dare Steve and Alex not be in a tier of their own :P, also dark samus is a massively underrated amiibo

[@GLSnifit]

Of the Smash amiibo, my favorite is probably Piranha Plant. Of all the lines, my favorite has to be Callie from Splatoon. The sculpt is so nice and the subtle glitter effects look super great.

[@ptldomofficial5074]

Preordered my Sora amiibo because I knew it was rare just for my sister to mistake the box for trash and throw it out 🤦‍♂️

[@DSmaster8585]

The visual improvements between the Smash 4 and Ultimate Amiibos really make me wish the Smash 4 Amiibos got remade. Its sad how cheap and simple they are, compared to how insane, detailed and creative the newer ones are. Charizard and Lucario looking way worse than Ivysaur and Pichu is painful

[@anthonyjamesst-aubin279]

I used to proudly have my amiibo displayed around my room with series specific having it's own spot, but ever since I moved they've been in a large Amazon box, which funny enough originally shipped 1 amiibo at the time, and I pull them out when I play a game that supports them. Unfortunately I don't have all the smash amiibo due to the fact that Pyra and Mythra went REALLY fast in both preorders and launch.

[@AlexSilver9]

So I know it isn't a Smash amiibo, but an interesting thing about the Isabelle amiibo from the Smash and Animal Crossing series is depending on the figure's outfit it'll automatically use that costume in Smash. I think the two R.O.B. amiibos and Inkling amiibos from the Splatoon series do the same thing for male and female.

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Good Smash ranking!

[@podracer35]

52:36 Get a base piece covering the other half of her leg, paint it white with some lines and it'll look like she's doing yoga with a broken leg. Such dedication

[@baileypalmer103]

I started with Fox and Samus on the day Smash Wii U released. It was all down hill from there. I turned into a full on collector by the time wave 3 released.

[@StFlyer67]

Awesomd job with the collection hunting. The only rare one i got left to buy are snake and pyra and mythra. The remaining i need are quite easy to get ahold of

[@tavini1]

I have every smash amiibo too... I really emjoyed this video while watching my own. My fav: Ice Climbers / Least fav: Lucario

[@disneyvillainsfan1666]

I wish we could get Amiibo of Link to The Past Zelda, Female Byleth, Female Villager, Male Wii Fit Trainer, and Kazuya in a suit, but at the same time, they already put so much effort and love into these figures that I am grateful for what we have.

[@ethansvault4574]

Thank you for that S rank on Pirranah Plant, youve earned my respect

[@disneyvillainsfan1666]

The ice effect behind the Ice Climbers go harder than they have any right to. If I had to buy at least 1 Smash Bros amiibo, regardless of how they play in the game, it would be them. ❄️

[@oak8194]

I'm not even a Persona simp but I feel bad that Joker couldn't quite make the cut for the S tier LOL. Seriously, I think he looks the best out of all the amiibo, even if I have a very strong bias towards some other of my favourite characters. Min-Min is S tier, but of course. However, I can't believe she ranks lower than the Piranha Plant. XD

[@jackiexkh]

59:54 "That he may be known for these days", huh? You mean the design that was retired back in 2014?

[@vivoosan]

I'm a huge amiibo nerd so thanks a lot for this video!

[@TheZebbga]

I have three different Amiibo. I have Wolf Link that I got with Twilight Princess. That one makes sense. I have Link Rider that my Dad randomly got me which is a cool pose and I love Zelda so it also makes sense. Then I have Ryu. I have played Street Fighter on occasion but I don't own a single Street Fighter game and the fact that I have Ryu is a bit random. I think my Dad saw it cheap once and got it. I have no idea why but I appreciate it.

[@DylanBandicoot]

I can't believe this video convinced me to buy make up brushes of all things.😂

[@dkfunentertainment3778]

Man! I think the joker amiibo is S class. It’s actually my favorite amiibo.

[@AlexFromDroitwich]

This is real cinema. I think you should consider releasing it theatrically.

[@podracer35]

Ness is probably my favorite as well. Both because I love the character (though I still have to play Earthbound... Fake fan, I know), and also because it's the first Smash Amiibo I ever bought. The GameStop I got it at had the last King Dedede amiibo next to it and after talking to some people there, I caught FOMO and bought it. My Amiibo addiction kicked off from there ever since. The only Smash ones I'm missing now are the Mii Fighters and I doubt they'll ever see a rerelease. (Okay, I also only got one of the characters witha P2 variant (whichever I thought looked cooler, so I guess I'm missing those)

[@geoffreys78]

You should take a look at the Marvel United Multiverse Kickstarter - The minis on that campaign are show off the proper way to hide supports as background items.

[@leonro]

I love the Olimar amiibo, the stands for the Pikmin aren't very noticeable and the one for Olimar is hidden by the surrounding Pikmin. He might have been my favourite amiibo amongst the ones I own from the Smash 4 series. I would put him into the A-tier at the very least. I was agreeing with you up until you got to him, and now I feel betrayed. :(

[@luisbenitez5708]

I also have all Smash Bros. amiibo. I got some action figure wrestling belts for them that they all compete for. Currently Incineroar is the Nintendo Heavyweight Champion and King Dedede is the Nintendo Power Champion.

[@d3nny_s3mpai]

My years of Amiibo hunting. Ahh those times of me going to couple of stores in France and Spain with my pops and looking for the best ones they had (Shulk being among my most wanted ones) My favorite one tho? Hmm, tough choice 🤔 Lots of them have cool details, so (with minor exceptions) they are not that bad But I go with my boio Kirby, Mega Man and Joker (and if non Smash Amiibos count, then Twilight Princess Link and *maaaybe* Wolf Link)

[@CrazyGamerDragon64]

I'm glad my three favorites were either S or A tier (Bowser, King K Rool and Banjo Kazooie) and my honorable mention is also A tier (Ganondorf)

the fire emblem amiibo i got most of bc you could unlock the associated character in several different games like fire emblem fates and code name steam and fire emblem games were some of my favorites on 3ds

[@IdkImNotCreative-mh4uo]

I think they should make Amiibo for the Ultimate renders of characters who have a Smash 4 render as their amiibo, using a costume to differentiate. Female Wii Fit has a Smash 4 amiibo, so make Male Wii Fit the Ultimate pose Give Ultimate Mario the Builder costume Ultimate Link’s base style uses BoTW, so it would work Villager could use the Female default Villager Pac-Man Pikachu could use one of its Shiny variants

[@jed4276]

So characters like Charizard, Mr.game&watch, and sonic got B teir but pac man got s?????

For me the Pikachu's Amiibo loses point because it's a Recycled Mold I had a Pilachu Doll/Statuine that's identical to that Amiibo (No, it wasn't the Amiibo from which they removed the base, it had the base and it was older than the Amiibos) 51:15 What's wrong with that Giant Forehead? Do all villagers have Airports on their Head? 56:35 It would have been cool if they did like Skylanders With Skylanders Imaginators you could make your own custom Skylander and there was the option of asking them to make a ToyToLife of your Custom Skylander So imagine if you could get an Amiibo of you Custom Mii (not only for Smash Bros but also like for example Miitopia with the Mii that has some clothes from that Game or the Custom Masks-Things you could do in Miitopia for Switch) I imagine there would be a lot of Sans 😂 But it would definitely have elevated the value of the Mii-Amiibo

[@TeknoThom]
