'''aMSa''' ({{ja|あむさ|Amusa}}, ''aMSa'') is a ''[[ | '''aMSa''' ({{ja|あむさ|Amusa}}, ''aMSa'') is a ''[[Melee]]'' {{SSBM|Yoshi}} player from Hyogo, Japan who is currently residing in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and is considered to be one of the best players in the world. He entered the scene in January 2013 and quickly became known as the best Yoshi player in the world after his strong performances at [[EVO 2013]] and [[Apex 2014]], despite only having played seriously for a short amount of time compared to other professionals. aMSa has tournament results and wins that are unprecedented by other Yoshi mains, finishing top 32 at EVO 2013, [[EVO 2015|2014]], and [[EVO 2015|2015]], 9th at Apex 2014, 5th at [[Apex 2015]], and 9th at [[GENESIS 5]]. In May 2014, aMSa was signed by [[VGBootCamp]]; on February 1st, 2019, aMSa was signed by Red Bull eSports<ref>https://twitter.com/aMSaRedyoshi/status/1091522332873519104</ref>, and on July 7th, 2019, aMSa was signed by CJ eSports, a Smash Bros. eSports team founded by {{Sm|CaptainJack}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/aMSaRedyoshi/status/1147807838816759808</ref> He would leave CJ eSports exactly one year later<ref>https://twitter.com/aMSaRedyoshi/status/1280165154559160321</ref>. On March 30th, 2023, he would part ways with VGBC after nearly nine full years with them, signing with {{Team|Golden Guardians}}.<ref>https://twitter.com/VGBootCamp/status/1641530756576034816 aMSa and VGBC part ways</ref><ref>https://twitter.com/ggmelee/status/1641530774498447362 aMSa joins Golden Guardians!</ref> | ||

Defying all expectations again, he tore through winners' bracket in the first round of pools on the first day, beating {{Sm|Green Ranger}} 2-0 and {{Sm|ChuDat}} 2-1 for the winner's position, and defeated {{Sm|Kage}} in a best-of-5 exhibition match 3-2. The next day, he caused more enormous upsets by defeating {{Sm|Silent Wolf}} 2-1 and {{Sm|Fly Amanita}} 2-0, securing a spot in winners' finals of the pool. However, he was then defeated by {{Sm|PPMD}} in winners' finals and {{Sm|Colbol}} in losers' finals, resulting in his 9th place finish in the second largest ''Melee'' tournament at the time. After the tournament, he once again fought many other professionals in various exhibition matches, managing to take a game off of {{Sm|Tafokints}}, win best of 3 sets against {{Sm|MattDotZeb}} and {{Sm|Vish}}, and win best of 5 sets against {{Sm|SFAT}}, {{Sm|Westballz}}, and {{Sm|Mew2King}}'s sandbagging choices. Although he did not perform as well in doubles with fellow Yoshi main {{Sm|V3ctorman}}, he still garnered an enormous amount of fan support for demonstrating unprecedented levels of play with his character. | ||

However, he performed very poorly and did not win a single set, being taken out by his training partner {{Sm|Sheik}} in winners' bracket and then by {{Sm|Shippu}} in losers' bracket, finishing last at 13th place. This performance did not give him enough MLG points to qualify for the championship bracket, and although he took 2nd at [[KVO 2014]] the day after, he needed to travel out of country again to accumulate enough points. | ||
Two weeks later, aMSa traveled to France to attend | Two weeks later, aMSa traveled to France to attend [[Republic of Fighters 3]], a 5000 point qualifier. At this tournament, he achieved a first seed in his second round of pools after defeating {{Sm|Däumling}} and {{Sm|Cyr}} 2-0, and defeated players such as {{Sm|porc}}, {{Sm|Trif}}, and {{Sm|Zgetto}} in winners' bracket before being knocked into losers by {{Sm|Armada}}. He then defeated {{Sm|Overtriforce}} 3-1 in losers' quarters, and knocked out {{Sm|Ice}} 3-0 in losers' semis (with a 3-stock lead at the end of game 1), before losing to {{Sm|Leffen}} 2-3 in an incredibly close set in losers' finals that went down to the last stock, to take 3rd place overall in the singles portion of the tournament. Placing 3rd at this tournament allowed him to gather enough points to qualify for the MLG Anaheim 2014 championship bracket. He also teamed with {{Sm|Cyr}} in doubles and placed 7th. | ||

At MLG Anaheim 2014, aMSa didn't do well in his pool; he brought several of his opponents, such as {{Sm|Fiction}}, Westballz, and {{Sm|ZeRo}}, to game 5 (often down 2-0 in his favor), but almost always lost in 3-game reversals. Even though the tournament weighed game counts as well as match counts, his stray wins were not enough for him to be seeded any higher than losers' round 1 in the championship bracket. In the championship bracket, he faced {{Sm|S2J}} first, and won the first two games. However, just like many other players in the championship pools the day before, S2J came back 2-3, knocking aMSa out and into a 17th place finish overall. aMSa also attended | At MLG Anaheim 2014, aMSa didn't do well in his pool; he brought several of his opponents, such as {{Sm|Fiction}}, Westballz, and {{Sm|ZeRo}}, to game 5 (often down 2-0 in his favor), but almost always lost in 3-game reversals.

However, he did slightly better in ''Melee'' doubles, where he placed 9th with {{Sm|PL}}. | ||

He defeated {{Sm|DendyPretendy}} 3-0 and {{Sm|Ken}} 3-0, setting up a match between him and Mew2King in winners' quarters. In a shocking upset, after losing the first game, aMSa was able to win the set 3-1. He then lost to {{Sm|Mango}} 0-3 in winners' semis, and to {{Sm|Lucky}} 0-3 in losers' quarters, however, resulting in a 5th place finish overall in singles. In doubles, he placed 7th with PL, losing to Westballz and ZeRo 1-3 in losers' top 8. | ||

Like the previous year, he swept through his round 1 pools without dropping a set, then defeated {{Sm|Tai}} in the second round bracket before losing to {{Sm|PewPewU}}'s Fox 0-2. In losers', aMSa defeated {{Sm|Lambchops}} and {{Sm|Swedish Delight}} before losing to {{Sm|S2J}} again, ending his tournament at 17th place overall. | ||

He did not attend any other Apex Qualifiers or major tournaments until [[Apex 2015]]. | ||
At Apex, aMSa swept through his round 1 pool, getting 1st seed with no difficulty. In R2 Pools, he defeated top players such as {{Sm|Laudandus}} to make it into Top 48 bracket in Winner's side. There, he defeated Fly Amanita once again 2-0 before falling to Leffen 0-2. aMSa then made an amazing loser's bracket run, defeating {{Sm|Zhu}} 2-0, Lucky 2-1, and SFAT 2-0 to make Top 8, surpassing even his previous year's performance. In Top 8, he defeated {{Sm|KirbyKaze}} 3-1 before falling to Mango in a last stock, game 5 position 2-3 to end his run at 5th place, the highest placing competitor outside of the Top 6, at the biggest Melee tournament at the time, cementing his status as one of the best current players in the world. | At Apex, aMSa swept through his round 1 pool, getting 1st seed with no difficulty.

Second was {{Sm|Wizzrobe}}, the #1 ranked {{SSBM|Captain Falcon}} player in the world, whom he had never taken a game off of in the past. Previously at [[Smash Summit 5]], he placed last after losing to Wizzrobe. Between tournaments, he practiced with {{Sm|Gucci}} to hone his skills against the character. At G5, he was able to employ these strategies, and successfully defeated Wizzrobe 3-2 in a last game, last stock situation on aMSa's signature counterpick stage [[Yoshi's Story]]. He then advanced to Winners Quarters, where he faced {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, who sent aMSa to losers' bracket with a relatively close 3-0. In losers, he faced {{Sm|HugS}} for a spot in Top 8. HugS won the first two games, and aMSa followed up winning the following two. This led to a last game on Dreamland, which came down to the last stock, with less than thirty seconds remaining. After being pressured to the ledge, aMSa missed the timing on his Egg Throw stalling and fell, ending his run at an impressive 9th place. | ||

While aMSa is not known to play ''Brawl'', he did play the ''Brawl'' mod ''[[Project M]]'' for some time. He initially started with {{PM|Yoshi}}, as he did in ''Melee'', but later decided not to play Yoshi competitively. He stated that he wanted to treat ''Project M'' as its own unique game rather than another ''Melee'' title, and also explained that certain key aspects of Yoshi didn't resemble those of his ''Melee'' appearance ([[ | While aMSa is not known to play ''Brawl'', he did play the ''Brawl'' mod ''[[Project M]]'' for some time.

Thus, aMSa used {{PM|Lucario}} instead, and was considered one of the best ''PM'' {{PM|Lucario}} mains in the world. He exhibits mastery over Lucario's many complex movement options and combos that not many other Lucario mains utilize in their playstyles even to this day, and was frequently the highest-placing Lucario player in several large regional and international ''Project M'' tournaments. | ||

He later made his debut with Lucario at NINJA4, where he placed 2nd; he lost to {{Sm|Kaito}} in winners' semis, then defeated {{Sm|Shippu}}, {{Sm|Katiwari}}, and {{Sm|Opinthin}} to make it to Grand Finals against Kaito, where he lost again. He placed 2nd again at [[Republic of Fighters 3]]; he lost again in winners' semis, this time to {{Sm|Zen}} 1-3, then defeated {{Sm|Yomi}} 3-0, {{Sm|Clade}} 3-0, and {{Sm|Zen}} 3-1 in a rematch, then lost to {{Sm|Professor Pro}} 0-3 in Grand Finals. | ||

aMSa was also a participant in the [[Super Smash Bros. Invitational]] at [[E3 2014]], and was one of two international participants (along with ZeRo). Even with {{SSB4|Yoshi}} unavailable for selection, he reached the four-way finals round using {{SSB4|Olimar}}. He had the same score but less percent than ZeRo after the match ended, but it did not grant him the win under the Invitational rules; he was subsequently eliminated by popular vote in favor of ZeRo to take 3rd place overall. After the game's release, he picked up {{SSB4|Greninja}}, and consistently places well in ''Smash 4'' tournaments, placing 9th at Apex 2015, which included a 2-0 victory over {{Sm|Ally}} and close 1-2 loss to {{Sm|MVD}}, as well as defeating {{Sm|Boss}}, {{Sm|Nick Riddle}}, {{Sm|Rich Brown}}, and {{Sm|J.Miller}} in Round 2 pools.
