That's actually a green yoshi. He's just covered in blood.

The year is 20-eggs-eggs.Yoshi is now the best character in the game. aMSa is on his way to win his 27th major, sitting atop winners side of grand finals. Leffen just posted his daily "ban yoshi" tweet. Life is good.

Even mang0’s mom tweeted “let amsa have it” after winners finals 😂😂😂. That’s traitorous but also goes to show how everyone was rly rooting for amsa

Credit to Mango for the honestly heartwarming congrats. He was obviously super disappointed but then puts his own feelings aside to give amsa a hug and a light shoulder massage. He knew it what it took for amsa to get there. So happy to see Mango clear some clouds so that amsa could have his day in the sun.

History has been made. The facts: • 21 years into a developed meta • Facing some of the toughest opposition you could expect • Didn't drop a set • Yoshi

"I feel I still have some matches to play" that comment got me. Up to this point, tournaments weren't over for aMSa until he lost. This is the first time one's over with a victory for him.

Toph screaming: AMSA DID IT! Had so much emotion I felt it in my chest. What a tourney this was. Melee forever

I actually cried a little watching this live. Nobody deserves this win as much as he does.

actually made me tear up a little, this man has made history in a way that no one im this game has before

aMSa beating M2K at kings of Cali 4 was what got me into smash so I love to see this for him

19:42 the crowd screaming 'YES!!!' as amsa pops off has got to be the hypest thing I've heard in a long time

9:02 Toph: "Can Mang0 win?" Scar: "NO!" You know you've made a statement as a player when even *Bobby Scar* doesn't think Mang0 can win.

I don't watch Melee often but I always loved watching aMSa's Yoshi. Moments like this remind us all that almost anything can be done with enough effort. Just the fact that this Gamecube game is getting moments like this in 2022 is insane by itself.

that final parry is iconic

Just wanna add that Scar's call of "It's Over, It's Over" and Toph's "Amsa did it, Amsa did it" is one of the greatest calls in e sports history.

That final string from aMSa was legendary. Really goes to show just how well he can capitalize off of a single mistake from an opponent. What a fantastic way to win his first supermajor, congrats aMSa!

An all time moment, not just in Smash, but in fighting games ever. And truly, there is so much more Melee to be played.

So many of us believed that aMSa could and would do it eventually. But no one believed as much as he did himself. The determination and hard work of this man is legendary. Congratulations aMSa!

When I saw aMSa play back in the days, I thought he was too good to not eventually switch to a better character. I'm extremely happy he totally shattered my expectations by instead pushing his own character to absolute perfection. What a legend.

It cannot be stated enough how impressive it is that aMSa won not just a smaller major or an invitational major, but a full-on, open bracket supermajor. Massive congratulations, I am happy to have been a part of his historic bracket run ROFL

At double down aMSa was in the exact same position, first set of grand finals last stock on fd against a fox and he lost. But now he rises and claims a historic win. This set will not be forgotten.

I have been waiting 8 years ever since Kings of Cali 4 for aMSa to win a major, let alone potentially the most stacked tournament of all time. Truly the best timeline rn

Above all else, the thing I hope people talk about is aMSa’s demeanor. You would never expect this person who is SO kind and SO genuine to be so ruthless on the sticks 😂 He’s devoted his entire self into this game and I’m so so happy to see it pay off. You deserve this, king!!!

This feels like Earnhardt winning the Daytona 500 in 98 after 20 years of racing, aMSa has trascended as a legend after all those years of work and perseverance, ever loyal to Yoshi in any game he plays. What a story

I'm speechless 😶 not only did he win. He made it look so good wit a sick parry zero to death combo

One of the greatest sets of all time, we will look back upon this moment for literal decades to come

I keep coming back to this just to watch Amsa's interview. This was genuinely wholesome and you can just see how proud Toph is looking at Amsa. His scream; "AMSA DID IT!!" They're supposed to be unbiased, but the pure emotion coming out of that. Man. So good lol

本当にaMSaさんはかっこいい。 自分の信じ続けたキャラを使い続け、今日ついに優勝した。この決して諦めない姿勢が、彼が日本のみならず海外にも愛されている理由だと思う。本当におめでとう🎉

My heart broke when I saw amsa collapse after game 2. Thought he was gonna get locked in his own head and choke it all away. I feel like game 5 was him leveling up his mental. Got it together and finished the job. So unbelievably happy for this guy. No one deserves a supermajor win more than him. Also pretty difficult feat facing Mango in GFs and being the fan favorite. Everyone was waiting for this.

After 1 decade, defeat after defeat. Amsa finally wins not only a major but one of the most difficult super majors of all time melee, which makes the victory way more satisfying than ever. I’m glad to live in the universe where amsa wins a major and I think everybody else in the community is proud of the result too. Amsa defeating a mang0 with Momentum on his side is absolutely hard to do and Is insane that it happened. A huge win for all of us indeed.

The fact that Melee's meta has been untouched for 21 years, only for someone to come in and play against the meta and win a tournament is incredible. There really is something to be said about letting meta games sit and not patching games. Moments like this happen. I love seeing someone come in with their favourite character and master it in a way no one else can to completely take a scene by storm. Truly historic.

Dude i've been watching melee for 8+ years and still this groundbreaking shit can happen. Melee is sick. I cannot believe this actually happened but at the same time i can totally believe this happened. What a moment this is. I am so happy for aMSa and so happy for Melee. This game will never die people. The chills going down my spine say it all. Enjoy this moment people, there is so much more to come!

"Everytime that I feel good... like I'm moving well and my tech skill is better...I feel, when I'm playing the game, [I'm] having fun and enjoying". Man what a beautiful quote.

Absolutely legendary. I have so much respect for Amsa being a character loyalist, playing a “low tier” and it finally paid off. With all the odds against him, Amsa won against Mango TWICE (one of the hardest players to beat especially when he got momentum like he did in the last few games) with Yoshi who has a shorter grab than Marth & can't even jump out of shield! Amsa is an inspiration and prime example of how you can achieve your goals if you work hard enough. he's one of the greatest competitors out there, like Toph said in the post game interview. So happy for AMSA

I don't follow competitive play, I just randomly clicked this and it was such an epic match. One of the best sporting events I have ever watched. Wow.

aMSa's first upset over a god is what got me watching this game as a spectator of an esport. Ever since then, the one constant in what keeps bringing me back to watch tournaments is hoping to witness aMSa bring it all home. There are no words to describe how happy I am to have seen it live. The most inspirational player in the game by far. 20EggsEggs is finally here.

The little Red Yoshi who could. Seeing aMSa's journey over the years has been an absolute treat. Good stuff!

One of the most important smash sets of all time

27:20 there's something in the way Toph stands, can't wait to congratulate his friend, but has to, then readjusts his shirt and breathes out, that I find touching. All that just to give a massive bro hug. You can feel the pure excitement and joy he has for his friend. What a show this match was, couldn't see this live but I watched a couple minutes of Mango's gameplay prior to that match, I was saying "Yeah he's feeling it, he's winning the Big House". But Amsa the red Yoshi made it, and from winners too. What a player, seriously... I am genuinely happy this is how it turned out, we all knew it was going to happen one day, but it must have been so hard for Amsa to keep believing and working as hard as he did for 10 years. Congratulations Amsa

It cannot be overstated how legendary this is from Amsa. And to win it like he did: the insane variety in the way he took stocks, somehow converting off of every egg hit, the parries, the use of the double jump armor. It was all just oozing with style. This was melee genius and it will go down in history. Congratulations Amsa!!

It's 2022 and this man made me, a grown man, cry. Good stuff, AMSA, you deserve every this in every single way!

10 YEARS OF PERSEVERANCE, THE RED YOSHI CLAIMS THE THRONE THROUGH SHEER WILL.

I actually cried when he won. I love melee. Thank you to everyone who has made this game and culture feel like home. A home that I refuse to give up on.

21:11 Keep coming back to this video for the commentary, and this is probably my favorite part. Scar reminds us that aMSa won from winners, and Toph loses the ability to speak coherently out of sheer excitement. Such charismatic personalities :)

This is so huge for Amsa. Finally winning his first major. I can't imagine how well he's feeling. I bet the prize winnings also got to feel good too since he's coming from Japan where there is no prize monies allowed.

I’m extremely late, but this is insane. This is in my opinion one of if not THE most impressive moment in esports history. The fact aMSa did this as his first major is crazy, and I couldn’t be happier, he deserves it. He’s such a wholesome guy, and there is a reason his opponents always have a smile even when they lose. aMSa is basically a melee god at this point.

Truly historic and a well deserved win from AMSA. Scar and Toph are so legendary and do such an incredible job capturing the magnitude and gravity of this victory. The Commentary at 19:32 to the end, is high octane, Pure adrenaline, red bull fuled hype. When they both yell "DOWN SMASH" LOOK AT IT, LOOK AT IT, ITS OVER, AMSA DID IT, AMSA DID IT!" It'll be hard not getting emotional looking back on this.

I'm really happy for Amsa. I never wanted him to be in the "Best to never win a super major" conversation. He deserved better and he finally broke through today

A truly legendary moment in Melee history. Congratulations to aMSa for this historic victory, and hope he has more to come. Melee's meta has evolved extraordinarily in just the past 3 years and will only continue to do so moving forward. This is truly the highest level Melee we've ever witnessed, and so much more that we have yet to see.

Can you guys imagine a world where Amsas next goal is realized? Where the number 1 world rank is filled by a Yoshi player?

8:16 for a YOOOOSHIIIIIII. A YOOOOOOSHIIIIII!!!!! The way he says that kills me. Congrats to aMSa, that Yoshi is so crazy to watch. This and Axe winning Summit are the best moments.

I don't remember ever being this stressed/excited when watching anything EVER. I so so wanted aMSa to get the W, and so incredibly happy for him that he got it. His gameplay was another level, his punishes were those of a champ. Huuuuge congrats to aMSa, and good luck for your next goal: being ranked #1, no kess. GIGACHAD

I was a Yoshi player back in Smash 4 and remembered thinking that it was cool that Yoshi was finally 'viable.' He was allegedly a tournament threat in early Ultimate too, but a major win just never happened for either game. The closest was Kameme's pocket Yoshi at Evo. For a Yoshi to finally win a supermajor, but it to be in my childhood game, Melee, where I ruled out the possibility years ago, sounds so crazy and unreal right now. So happy for aMSa

I got so emotional with the commentary and the crowd all beyond hyped for aMSa. Truly truly so deserved and the amount of work put in will be remembered honestly for the rest of the game's life. Long live Melee!

Not only was he composed in victory, but also humble in that he now understands that the playing field is going to catch up to him much more again, i.e he has to continue working hard to keep his place at the top. Incredible mindset to adhere to, let alone talk about with such confidence. This is a man who has silently trained and steeled himself for years until he reached the summit, and I don't think there's anything more respectable than that

For the first time in 20 years we see Yoshi winning a major. 20 fucking YEARS!! MELEE TRULY LIVES FOREVER AMSA YOU LEGEND

While watching this live, I got so many flashbacks to one of the first high-level sets I ever watched when I first got interested in learning about competitive Melee; Apex 2015 Losers Quarters Mang0 vs. aMSa. I could not believe my eyes seeing Yoshi going toe to toe with such a high level Fox. Nearly 8 years since Apex 2015, and history gets written yet again. This game never ceases to amaze. 20EggsEggs. Long live Melee, this game is so sick.

Game 5 really was the Final Destination.

4:40 I swear, I never get tired of seeing aMSa just nail those egg throws man, that gets me hyped every time.

Dude I was SHOUTING in my room, this was such a hype set, I'm so happy for aMSa, ever since Summit 11 I was just waiting for the win to come but Mango looked goddamn inevitable, that Game 5 was crazy!

19:51 i think its my first time seeing mang0 face desk + smash controller like that. that tells me he really didnt play amsa lightly as a friend but a real-strong opponent and went all out on him. such historic set. awesome + congrats for both players 21:17 good comment

I don't play this game but I do watch tournaments and follow the player stories. aMSa's always a joy to watch as the practically lone Yoshi player, and him being so close to finally winning a major had me watching this set with so much anticipation and emotion. aMSa played just amazingly, and Mang0 definitely didn't just give it to him either. It was so amazing watching this live; I can only imagine what it was like in the venue.

彼よりこの優勝を値してる人はない。本当におめでとうございます！🎉

no one deserved it more than amsa, also very happy mang0 outperformed his seed so much. couldn't have asked for a better grand finals, and top 8 & 24 for that matter

No nerves from this guy, man absolutely deserves this title

What an absolute banger of a set. Mang0 was playing so hot too, makes this win all the more deserved. What a feat. Can't wait for more of this kind of melee

I love how you can see the excitement and happiness, genuinely on Scar's face. Wholesome.

I cried. He did it in a tournament with the top 15 players present...

This is up there with Summit 11 grand finals for my all-time favorite sets. I’ll be rewatching this for years to come. Great job to both competitors!

such a humble guy. if i won a tournament like this in such a legendary fashion, especially if i'd been working on it as long as amsa has, id be inconsolably sobbing on the floor hbox style.

Legit crying. I'm so proud of you Amsa you are an amazing player and an amazing person. You deserve the win

honestly i will remember this set till the day I die

Congratulations aMSa!! It's been so sick seeing the yoshi master climb in tournament placings this year, from fifth to third now first for the first time ever. Such a sick first tourney win too! おめでとうございます！ !

地味に最後のヨッシーの勝利ポーズが瞬獄殺なのが最高

Melee top 100: Nearly half fast fallers, half anything else - One Pikachu - One Yoshi - Both top 10 Yoshi on the map again and again for years, now people need to figure out how to play this character and hopefully we can see newer and older players making runs with Yoshi too. Though of course, aMSa and Axe are built different than the average players, so massive massive congrats to aMSa for his win! Looking forward to more as always!

those yoshi combos hit like a brick, this was a good ass fight

this tournament was so fucking brilliant, amsa deserved it more than anyone else. the pop off and crowd cheer are so poweful but honestly what seals the moment in for me most is mang0s controller throw at the end where you can just see his emotions explode and how much the match meant for him. insane.

"Every time when I feel good and I'm moving well, my tech skill is better... that kind of feeling when I'm playing the game I'm having fun." - aMSa, the GOAT Yoshi

This Grand Finals makes my heart warm. So much melee left to play

I watch this set whenever I want my day to start off good, or if I wanna be in a good mood. This really shows you can do anything you put your mind too, no matter how long that it takes. What an amazing journey, that’s still going

This man’s mental game is untouchable. Seeing him evolve as a player for so long is amazing. Can’t wait to see aMSa more

Has to be one of the most insane stories of resilience in the face of years of doubt, defeat, and a disbelief he could do it. It's such an inspiring story that anybody can learn from and apply to their life, let alone smash. Truly an inspiration. For years, he believed in himself and his decision to play Yoshi, and it finally payed off. The feeling he must have felt in those moments after the win must have been legendary. Gives me goosebumps.

Still making me cry to this day. What an awesome match, extraordinary even.

Double Down: We saw him go down TBH 10: We saw him go out BIG Congrats to the well deserved win AMSA!!

Thanks for everybody keeping this scene alive! This was so amazing to watch

Winning the most stacked Super Major, with many of the top players playig out of their minds (Mango was shitting on everyone until he faced Amsa, IBDW was cracked af, Zain was looking like he wanted it so badly, and Jmook was doing Jmook things), playing a mid tier, and beating the two last active gods, who still are pretty much the gatekeepers of Melee's top echelon? All the ingredients for what I would consider one of the best tournaments ever played. In the relatively short time I've been watching Melee tournaments live, I've seen a Falcon, a Pikachu, and a Yoshi taking the W. What a thing of beauty Melee is.

A lot of people talking about aMSa winning his first major and first super major at the same time, talking about how he parried the Fox Up-B into the opening that won the game, and talking about Yoshi finally having a major tournament win. HOWEVER, can we talk about how aMSa took Mang0's last stock as a 0 to death with a parry mixed in? There is way too much to talk about in this set. So insane, down to every interaction between these two players and their characters. Having to defeat Mang0 TWICE in the same tournament to win? Talk about absolutely scary no matter who you are.

I cannot remember the last time any melee set was on trending amsas a fucking goat

The single most impressive tournament victory in the history of the game.

The raw emotion in Toph's voice as he's screaming aMSa did it

This is such a win for melee as a whole. People have been saying for years how good it would be for the overall meta for Yoshi to win a major. And for amsa to win THIS one, where everyone was playing out of their damn minds, is just astonishing.

I have fallen in love with melee once again. Beautiful set. Wonderfully played by both Mang0 and aMSa. Just great

spoiler: HE DID IT!!!!! AMSA MADE HISTORY AND FINALLY GOT THE DUB HE'S DESERVED FOR SO LONG, SO DAMN HYPE!!!!! LETS GO RED YOSHIIIIIIIIIII

Damn, it's been a minute since my heart pumped so hard from excitement looking at a smash grand final. Screamed out load when aMSa brought it home, incredible play!

Just reporting in as a casual player of melee since 2008-ish and someone who has enjoyed watching tournaments regularly since 2012...its so insane to see aMSa win and see Yoshi vindicated as a viable winner of a supermajor. It just shows there's still SO much Melee to play after all this time, it's incredible. Congrats aMSa!!!!!!!

I just want to say, on top of everything and this INSANE accomplishment for aMSa... his English has become so good now, it's crazy just how much he is improving in every way

The mad man did it! aMSa has been my favorite Melee player ever since the M2K set in Kings of Cali 4. I honestly teared up when he finally won today. After watching him get so close so many times it feels sureal to finally see him win a major. And what a major to win.

The win in game 5, of the hardest tournament to date, against a person who is infamous for coming back from the losers bracket, on final destination, each on your final stock, and to win the first major tournament, using a YOSHI... This was super poetic and the most satisfying thing I have ever seen in melee.

Those match ups were straight up bonkers, so much fun to watch and fantastic commentary:D

I can't fucking believe it. What a fucking legend. He's cemented his legacy in the annals of the game.
