    If anyone would be willing to give me some critique, I'd very much appreciate it! Losers Finals - Zylix(Yoshi) vs J$(DK) One of my biggest barriers right now is that I don't handle pressure well, and this DK puts on a ton of it. If anyone could give me any pointers or advice on how I should be...

    Yeah, like I said, one of my biggest problems is being too predictable. I tend to go on auto pilot a bit and use the same moves/approaches/defensive options just because I've developed them as a habit or just muscle memory. Good players are able to predict and punish this, and I've had multiple...

    Here are a couple matches I played today. Sorry for choppy moments, they were all netplay matches. Zylix(Yoshi) vs HydratedMewtwo(Mewtwo) We were pretty evenly matched, with me being a bit better I think. Zylix(Yoshi) vs Grief(Olimar) Zylix(Yoshi) vs Grief(Olimar, Falco, Fox) This guy is quite...

    I could easily record some netplay matches and upload them within the next few days if anyone would be willing to analyze my mental game. Would it be better to upload them here since we're talking about it, or on the Vod's page? Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, Yoshi does tend to have a...

    This isn't necessarily a Yoshi specific question, but since I play exclusively Yoshi, I figured I'd ask you guys. After observing my own play, and being told by multiple superior players I've met on netplay, it has become apparent that my biggest obstacle is the mental game. I've been told that...

    When you use double jump in the direction you're not facing, there is a small window (5 or 7 frames I think) where you can cancel the double jump with any aerial and stay facing the same direction, with the new momentum change still active. If you delay the DJC just a bit, you'll be turned...

    Thanks for the answer! Yeah the flub hit thing is pretty obvious, but I couldn't find anything about it and wanted to make sure it wasn't just in my head. So speaking of not approaching, Yoshi does pretty good at punishing most approaches, especially against melee characters like Captain...

    How do you guys usually deal with shield pressure? I can never seem to quickly Nair out of shield because I can never tell when I'm in shieldstun. People seem to always shieldgrab me because I approach a lot with aerials. Basically if i'm above them, they just shield and wait. What's a good...

    Hey all, if anyone's got 10 minutes and would be willing to give some advice, It would be great to get some direction on what I should be looking to improve on in my game. Thanks! (First 10 minutes - Yoshi vs Zelda) https://youtu.be/Bpdx8wQIv74

    I usually can't string more than 2 or 3 hits unless they fail to tech. I depend a lot on grabs for punishes but I've been having trouble with people who DI from my throws. I do a lot of Dthrows but if they DI away, I usually can't get any follow up. Not even running upsmash lands before they...

    It doesn't seem like Yoshi can juggle quite as much as, say, shiek. Except for at low percents. I'm just wondering if i'm missing anything or if there's a straightforward way to work on my overall punish game. I'm usually pretty good about getting punishes, but I want them as fat as possible

    Q&A New to Yoshi? (or not) Ask your questions here!

    I've been told (by players better than me) that I need to work on my combo game as Yoshi. I usually can only get one or two hits off of a grab or a read. As a Yoshi player, should I be able to get more damage off after landing a grab/tech chase? I'll get around 25-40% typically.

    I actually got an adapter today. I already have the emulator set up I just have to learn how to play on netplay. I can't promise my ping will be any good though :P

    That makes perfect sense. I used to play DK in brawl and my playstyle revolved around spacing with his OP tilts. When I would play other characters I noticed I carried over a lot of those tilt/based habits. The only problem is that becoming a master of a character's trait requires mastery with...

    The thing that is intimidating (at least to me) is improving the mental aspect of your game. The more I play the better I get at timings, spacings for certain moves and overall character control but it's frightening to play against someone who seems like they could 4 stock you while reading the...
