Ackeron's FFXIAH/FFXIVpro Amiibo Tournament Lottery

Bumping before I go to sleep.

Bumping after you go to sleep.

Bumpity bump bump.

Bumping for the brain-eating amoebas.

Bumping for sending brain-eating amoebas to Oklahoma.

Bumping because I still have no idea what an Amiibo even is

Ack trains them to fight each other.

These things

You put them on the Wii U (they have a chip in the base) and you get that character in Smash as sort of an NPC that can learn and level up

Isack pits them against each other and we bet on who will win

If we're lucky we get a nice chunk of gil and a badge on here

Capture card is working. So I will be streaming this or at least recording each match.

Will probably do some test runs along the way so if anyone has any requests feel free to post them.

Will only do 1-vs-1s though as I don't want to screw up their AI.

Complete list:
This will help me figure out how to use this capture card better lol.

If i had a link to your stream i could help set it up. get the quality nice and good etc.

I'm always around to do that kind of stuff as well as announce stuff on the social media channels.

Bump

Quality ace! Now I'm super hyped for a late night stream of this!

Bumping with another preview match. This time testing out size differences. This match was uploaded at 720p and decreased the size of the file by 50%! I think this will be how I continue to upload them.

Today's match is Pit -vs- Dark Pit!

60FPS woulda made the file huge :/
But stuff looks good! I'd Argue you could still do 1080p just not 60fps.

Yeah the Mario -vs- Dr. Mario one was 1080p 60fps but the file was nearly 2 gig in size. 720p 60fps was only 855mb.

Going to continue doing a skirmish match or two a day till the tournament. Any requests will fine just remember prefer 1-vs-1 but may do 2-vs-2 as well.

Good Lord. It could be worse though,my 60FPS FFXI film. a 5 minuite uncompressed video in 60fps is 16.1gb xD

Once it's downscaled/rendered and uploaded to Youtube, you probably wouldn't hold onto the raw video anyway. Drives are super cheap, too. If you just need storage space, you can pick up 2TB drives for like 60 bucks.

Today's skirmish is Zelda -vs- Shiek!

Today we have Marth -vs- Lucina

9 days left to make your pick for who will win the Amiibo Tournament.

Another day, another Skirmish. This time it's Donkey Kong -vs- Diddy Kong.

New day, This time it's Lucario -vs- Greninja.



Side note, my Greninja is called Gekkouga because it is a japanese amiibo. I've done this with all 3 of my Japanese amiibos. The other 2 are Bowser Jr. to Koopa Jr., and Pit which is still Pit in Japan so I added a JP tag to his name instead for JP Pit.

Today we have the Dreamland puffballs going at it with Kirby -vs- Metaknight.

Been doing a little reading and youtubing. From what I have seen it looks like these skirmish battles could be causing your AI to be (more) unbalanced.

Basically what I learned was that when you put 2 amiibos together and one wins, that the next time they fight the one that won will have an inherent AI advantage over the other.

For example, in your vids you have Ness vs Little Mac and Ness wins, with one stock left. The next video you have though, Ness wins with 2 stock remaining. This was also the case I saw in a couple series where people were training Amiibo to be dominant. In one series the person pit his amiibo against every character controlled by a level 9 CPU in 10 stock matches until the amiibo won and then moved to another. After that point it wrecked every amiibo it came across.

This is somewhat true. One thing to point out though the Ness -vs- Little Mac matches you saw were from the Actual Tournament last time. Matches that aren't part of a tournament are marked with my Skirmish title and aren't part of a playlist yet.

Back on topic, Amiibos learn from fighting, in a way they are like saiyans from DBZ. They fight and get stronger BUT when they lose they get a bigger boost to their AI strength then if they win. Of course if they win they still get a boost, but not as large of one as they would get from losing.

An example of this happening is Pikachu -vs- Link. In Tournament 1 and 2 Link lost miserably to Pikachu who went on to win both of those Tournaments. Pikachu has since failed to get far in the tournament and has been even eliminated by Link.

Villager used to also be a huge challenge and his only rival was Pikachu. They would end up fighting each other multiple times with the winner changing each time.

They are certainly very complex for something that I initially thought was just turning CPU to 50.

Armor -vs- Skin suit today. With Samus -vs- ZS Samus.

Ike -vs- Robin is the skirmish of the day here.



Remember Thursday is the last day for picks!

Today's match is Father -vs- Son with Bowser and Bowser Jr.
