Ka-Master, also known as Luigi Ka-Master, is an American Melee Luigi player from the Washington area.
Ka-master was known in the 2007 era as the best Melee Luigi player in the world, thanks to his success in tournaments with what was considered at the time a low tier character, and for his knowledge of the space animal matchups. He has released two very well-received combo videos.
Ka-master originally retired in 2010, but later returned in 2015 and quickly climbed the ranks back before resuming a hiatus in 2020. He has taken sets off of players such as Fiction, HugS, Lucky, MacD, Ryan Ford, Westballz, and Zhu. He also has a strong Captain Falcon secondary, having taken sets off Bladewise and Iceman.
Ka-Master was formerly ranked 1st on the Utah Melee Power Rankings, 4th on the Washington Melee Power Rankings, and 74th on the MPGR 2019.
