The path less traveled is not for the weak of heart.
No one believed aMSa could go up against the best Super Smash Bros. Melee players and win at the biggest, most important tournaments in the world.
But if a competitor wants to win badly enough, none of that matters - even if that means turning two decades worth of established gameplay rules into dust.

For those complaining about the title: As mentioned in the video, tier lists over Melee's competitive life have historically placed Yoshi between bottom to mid tier. The competitive opinion on Yoshi has shifted almost exclusively because of Amsa, so calling him a low-tier hero within the full context of his career and the evolving meta of the game is appropriate.

I think y'all passed on Amsa's 2022 to get to Big House 10. He got 3rd at Pound and then 2nd at Double Down, pushing Yoshi further and further into tournaments despite how competitive the current era is. Those are important points that need to be discussed in the story of Amsa because for awhile he never seemed to get beyond his 4th place at Genesis. His climb to finally win in 2022 is what I think makes the moment all the more poignant. Sometimes the story is being able to snap win. But sometimes the story is about the one who gets closer and closer to putting it all together and finally winning. That's the Amsa story and we can't gloss over the improvements he made in 2022 to reach where he is now.

Also, the whole conversation around the "tier list meta" where everyone plays a small portion of the cast only because of their known potential. aMSa grinded away at a lower midtier and it was considered a low midtier because no one like aMSa was grinding it. Who knows how many "hidden yoshis" there are in the cast that just haven't had their own aMSa to play them. Why grind away on a midtier that doesn't have much data around it and you have to find the meta yourself, when you can just switch to Fox or Marth and watch 100 pros to learn from.

I remember "aM5a" kept on getting 5th for a bit I think this part of the story actually starts at summit 11, mang0 and Zain seemed untouchable then aMSa beat one and went game 5 with the other, and not unlike plup that tournament, he was a contender for the best player in the room, however he unfortunately ran into Hungrybox and axe in the final bracket who were both hard for him. Since then aMSa has winning records on Hungrybox, Axe, and Zain. He got another unfortunate bracket at SWT, running into hiss biggest demons of Trif and Plup. But then 2022 came about, at genesis he got 5th yet again, but pound he beat Leffen, Cody Schwab and Llod, all tough for him. The double down, he game second, just one unfortunate SD from resetting the grand finals. He was closer than ever. Only then came the big house.

These players are insane at the game while also benefiting from relative matchup inexperience on the part of others (while they grind the high tier matchups continuously). What you should say instead is that aMSa makes Yoshi LOOK like a high tier, which is absolutely true. This doesn’t make the character a high tier though, Yoshi has waaay to many exploitable weaknesses for that.

The first time I discovered competitive Smash was back in 2013-2014, when PM was hot and before Smash 4 came out. I wanted to dig and find my place in the scene, and aMSa was someone I gravitated to very quickly. I've ALWAYS admired the dedication he constantly brought as a player; it fueled me to be the best I could be in my game of choice, even if I never reached the level of skill or reputation that the top players had. To see him get this epic win at The Big House 10 was beyond awe-inspiring to me. The amount of joy I had brought me to tears. aMSa is absolutely a legend.

Calling Yoshi a low tier in 2022 is really kind-of misleading. To be clear, the historical part of this video is absolutely 100% correct, Yoshi used to be considered low tier in 2012, like...seriously low. Like bottom 5 characters in the game. And then Amsa started showing up to tournaments in the US starting with EVO 2013 and Yoshi immediately moved up 10 spots on the next tier list (12th in the 2015 tier list). By the time Amsa won TBH10, consensus around Yoshi was already about...8th on the tier list. Probably right below Jigglypuff and Peach, but certainly ahead of Ice Climbers and Pikachu. And yeah, we've had a Jigglypuff player be the best player in melee, we've had a Peach player be the best player in melee, we might be heading into an era where a Yoshi player is the best player in melee. And I am here for it! But Yoshi, Jigglypuff, and Peach would be better described as "high tier". (Not "top tier", sure, but the tier immediately below that).

You need to back that camera up for the ad roll. That is waaaay too close (and too low) for that kind of shot.

Amsas story makes me tear up every time. I don’t even play melee it’s just the fact that he chose a goal and made it happen. Plus he was humble the whole time, who the f doesn’t wanna be that cool! Ps I’m aware how dorky that is but come on man he’s living the dream.

So glad we have aMSa in the scene. Hopefully more Japanese and Asians play this game. That'd be so good for the game. But this top level requires a decade+ of playing against good competition, so it's hard for newer players....

That's not quite true! Look at 3 of the top 5 players right now (Zain, iBDW, Jmook). Neither of them have played even close to a decade, and they are #1-3, respectively.

@@SirPage13 You might be right about iBDW and Jmook, so point taken, but Zain has been playing for a long time. He just got mad good outta nowhere. I do have faith with all the resources out there new players can shoot up in skill. It's a fun game and very addictive, after all.

Yoshi has been pretty above avg for a while. Around Pikachu, Peach level was the standard for most tier lists.

I thik its fair to say that the whole community knew that this could happen, that Amsa could take a major, if he kept on grinding. it was obvious that Yoshi had the potential and Axe's summit win was a strong indicator that it was possible too.

The year is 2XXX. After centuries of meta evolution, a lone kirby main reigns supreme as the best player in the world, finally confirming what many had long suspected - melee was a perfectly-balanced game all along
