(I don't know how many matches he won in the losers' bracket after losing to PP, but a paragraph on Apex 2014) |
(he was not unknown, but a lot of people doubted him, with guys like HugS saying he was the most overrated player of 2013, and KevinM claiming he would send aMSa home right from the start on the MIOM group) |

*[[EVO 2013]]: Shockingly, aMSa managed to sweep through his pool without losing a set and make it to quarterfinals, while the only other notable Yoshi main at the venue, {{Sm|V3ctorman}}, failed to even make it out. He managed to take a game off of {{Sm|Mew2King}} in quarterfinals (to the shock of many spectators), making Mew2King contemplate throwing the match (as shown by him hovering over {{SSBM|Mr. Game & Watch}} before the third game). Although Mew2King still ended up defeating aMSa 2-1, all of their matches were extremely close, going down to the last stock. In loser's, aMSa defeated many opponents achieving a final placement of 25th after losing to {{Sm|DaShizWiz}}. | *[[EVO 2013]]: Shockingly, aMSa managed to sweep through his pool without losing a set and make it to quarterfinals, while the only other notable Yoshi main at the venue, {{Sm|V3ctorman}}, failed to even make it out.

Some even claimed that aMSa would not even make it out of pools and would be exposed as a "fraud" who only got 25th because of an "easy" pool at EVO. Defying all expectations, aMSa quickly picked up speed, knocking players left and right out of the winners' bracket in both rounds of pools, and caused enormous upsets by defeating {{Sm|Silent Wolf}} and {{Sm|Fly Amanita}}, being guaranteed 9th place afterward. He was then defeated by {{Sm|Dr. PeePee}} in winner's finals and {{Sm|Colbol}} in loser's finals, cementing the 9th place ranking; by then, aMSa had gained an enormous amount of support and fan recognition for reaching an unprecedented high level of play and placement with Yoshi against all odds in stacked brackets with top professional players. | ||
:*In the Apex 2014 "Salty Suite", aMSa faced off against {{Sm|DJ Nintendo}}'s {{SSBM|Bowser}} in the "Battle of the Dinos," and ended up defeating him 3-0. | |||
