1,000,000 times better than SK -- *brick'd*
If you mean what I think, then I agree with you. As FGTV pointed out, the characters can already be playable in SSB without buying and using the figures first, unlike Skylanders where if you want to use certain characters, you can't unless you buy their figures. So that's why I think Amiibo is better.
Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy playing the first three Skylanders games. But I've always liked the Nintendo franchises (especially Mario and Pokemon) better than Skylanders, so that's why I'm willing to give up buying Skylanders in favour of these new figures.
