For years, the world famous red Yoshi main aMSa has been a fan favorite. Known for his sportsmanship and mastery of one of Melee's least played characters, aMSa has become a household name in the world of Smash. Although he does not compete in the U.S. very often, he has dazzled crowds at tournaments such as Apex 2015, Apex 2014, and Kings of Cali 4, where he did the seemingly impossible by taking down the world's best with Yoshi.

遂に遂に遂に本日発売のゲームラボにて公開となりました！私の書籍「プロスマブラーの軌跡」が3月に三才ブックス様より出版されます！！
スマブラへの想いをこのように形にできることに感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです！詳細はまた後ほど！

Today, aMSa had a very special announcement! He will be releasing a book about his career called "Path of a Pro Smash Player". From his tweet above: "Finally, after all this time, in today's Gamelabo I can unveil some news! My book, "Path of a Pro Smash Player", will be published this March through Sansai Books! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to give shape to my feelings for Smash like this. More details to come!"

Writer's Note: A special thank you to the team at Source Gaming for providing the translation in this article.

 

Hoping for an English translation, this is something I'd genuinely be interested in reading.

 

Now I hope Mango releases a book named 'Path to a Buster'.

 

This is really awesome to hear. aMSa is one of my favorite Smash players period. He took a character that people thought wasn't ever gonna do anything and proved them wrong.

 

If this does get translated, it'll be interesting to see more insight on the Japanese smash scene.

 

It should have a chapter called "How to make other melee players salty"

Hoping for an English translation.

 

As much as I dislike Yoshi in the smash games for being my literal kyrptonite, seeing aMSa play Yoshi was always a treat to see that dinosaur take stocks from spacies. Just like what everyone wants in this comment section I hope an english translation comes out.

 

Is this going to physical book or an Internet book?

 

Cant wait to read Amsa's book.

 

Is this going to physical book or an Internet book?

Physical.

 

I will use google translate to read this book. But I'll probably give up and wait for the eng. translation.

 

I really hope this'll get an English translation.

 

My favorite smash player is an author? Time to put aside some time to get back into reading again!

 

I will quite probably give it a read.

I offered to Translate this on Reddit, and I'm seconding my offer here. I'm not looking to do anything professional... but I speak Japanese fluently and just got my degree in it so... Yeah.

If anyone wants to help, let me know, I'll try to get the book preordered from my local Kinokuniya so I can begin when it is released.

Hope it's a good read!

 

Now I hope Mango releases a book named 'Path to a Buster'.

Hope so

Then I could put it right by Path to a Pro Smash Player and Simplifying Street Fighter

Maybe you can also put it next to chillindude's book, 'Path to My B'.

 

I want M2K to release a book, "Path to my Doctor"

 

Hopefully an English translation will come out, I'm really interested in his book

 

DESTRUCTION!

 

First iam going to read Wife's book, and then i'll read aMSa's book XD

 

It should have a chapter called "How to make other melee players salty"

I think what you need is to talk to Chudat.

But for real, I'd read this book if it got an English translation. I don't know a whole lot about aMSa, but dang if his red Yoshi isn't legendary.

 

Man, I hope there is an English version. I wanna read this!!

 

Hope it's getting released in Sweden near me somewhere

 

First iam going to read Wife's book, and then i'll read aMSa's book XD

Wife's book is actually pretty good, and it only took me an hour or two to read. You should definitely check it out!

 

Will this also come out in America? I would love to read a biography of one of my favorite melee players of all time.
