'''Ka-Master''', also known as '''Luigi Ka-Master''', is an American ''Melee'' {{SSBM|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 {{Sm|Fiction}}, {{Sm|HugS}}, {{Sm|Lucky}}, {{Sm|MacD}}, {{Sm|Ryan Ford}}, {{Sm|Westballz}}, and {{Sm|Zhu}}. He also has a strong Captain Falcon secondary, having taken sets off {{Sm|Bladewise}} and {{Sm|Iceman}}.

Ka-Master is currently ranked 7th on the [[Washington Power Rankings]] and was formerly ranked 1st on the [[Utah Power Rankings|Utah Melee Power Rankings]] and 74th on the [[MPGR 2019]].

==Trivia==
*Ka-Master made his name when was 15, coming from the Nickelodeon show ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KaBlam! KaBlam!]'' and a strong desire to prove himself a master of Luigi.<ref>https://mainframe.gg/blogs/news/interview-with-pro-ssbm-player-ammon-ka-master-styles</ref>
