In late 2012 to early 2013, however, {{Sm|aMSa}} made his competitive debut in Japan, taking top 8 in a Japanese tournament with only Yoshi. He later finished 25th in [[EVO 2013]], sweeping his pools and taking a game off of {{Sm|Mew2King}}, a placement that convinced the [[Melee Back Room]] to move Yoshi up 3 places on the [[List of SSBM tier lists (NTSC)#Eleventh tier list (July 26th, 2013)|tier list]] following said tournament, making him a borderline mid tier character. aMSa later reappeared with Yoshi in several future tournaments, including [[Apex 2014]] and [[Republic of Fighters 3]], and, to the surprise of many, placed 5th at [[Apex 2015]], defeating several renowned players of top tiered characters, namely {{Sm|Lucky}}, {{Sm|Silent Wolf}}, {{Sm|Fly Amanita}}, and {{Sm|SFAT}}. aMSa's use of Yoshi was considered completely unique from those of Fumi, V3ctorman, and other previous Yoshi mains; he showed the use of parrying and spacing that was previously never seen before, demonstrating that Yoshi's ability to punish errors made by opponents was far greater than expected. Following these performances from aMSa that far outstripped what players of most middle tier characters could do, Yoshi has risen 6 places in the [[List of SSBM tier lists (NTSC)#Twelfth tier list (December 10th, 2015)|twelfth NTSC tier list]] and 8 places in the third [[PAL Tier List#Third PAL Tier List (March 22nd, 2015)|PAL tier list]], to 12th and 11th respectively, solidifying Yoshi as a solid middle tier character.

Yoshi's placement in the current tier list has been a topic of debate since then. Throughout aMSa's earlier years in the scene, many noted his tendency to perform better overseas than in Japan, suggesting that he won mainly through [[matchup]] inexperience. However, in recent times, {{Sm|aMSa}}'s performance has gradually gained momentum; not only has he begun to dominate his region, showing that he has erased any reliance on matchup inexperience from his game, he has been able to continue placing well at majors, placing 9th at [[GENESIS 5]], 9th at [[GameTyrant Expo 2017]], 7th at [[Full Bloom 4]], 7th at [[Smash Summit 6]], 5th at [[Get On My Level]], and 4th at [[EGLX 2018]], while defeating the likes of players such as {{Sm|Hungrybox}}, {{Sm|Plup}}, {{Sm|Mew2King}}, {{Sm|Axe}}, {{Sm|Wizzrobe}}, {{Sm|SFAT}}, and many others. As a result of this, aMSa would become ranked 7th on the [[2019 MPGR]], becoming the first top 10 player to main a perceived mid tier character beside Axe since {{Sm|Shroomed}}'s Dr. Mario in 2014. aMSa's astounding achievements pushed Yoshi into becoming recognizing as a competitively viable character, sitting now at 10th on the [[List of SSBM tier lists (NTSC)#Thirteenth tier list (March 29th, 2021)|thirteenth and current tier list]]. aMSA would then improve even farther in the post-COVID era, with him outright winning majors such as {{Trn|The Big House 10}}, {{Trn|Apex 2022}}, and {{Trn|Scuffed World Tour}} with solo Yoshi at the end of 2022, becoming a contender for outright best player in the world, as he would be ranked the second best player after {{Sm|Zain}} on [[SSBMRank 2022]]. Overall, thanks to aMSa, Yoshi has achieved great results, which increased his representation and pushed his metagame to levels originally thought unfathomable, proving him to be much better than people believed for most of ''Melee''{{'}}s competitive life.
