The only development I have is that running parry is really good. Against players who defend their space with hitboxes you can directly challenge them with it and get a free opening. If they mix up their timings you can use the occasional run cancel Dtilt, Bair, or just dash dance, and this lets you make them afraid to delay any attack. If they can't delay their attacks the parry is free, or they have to retreat.It's been quite some time since I have been on here. Any synopsis on new developments?
He should just move to the US. That would be amazing. Could you guys imagine what the Yoshi meta will become if he got to play here regularly?Yeah that's what I thought, but then he tweeted that on the 22nd and this post was later so I'm really really hoping (probably not though is the feeling I'm getting)
To avoid shieldgrabbing, you have to either cross up the opponent (they can't grab behind them) or frame trap with Ftilt, Jab, Dsmash or Parry.Hey guys, I was playing around with shield pressure and was curious if Nair or uair can be stringed fasted enough on a shield to stop them from grabbing you? I'm sure this has been answered before but when I searched the forum I get a ton of results. Even just a link to the post will suffice.
To get the perfect waveland on platforms you need to air dodge horizontally, this will take a bit of practice to get down. Once you feel yourself being able to do that consistently, add a fast fall right after you slide off the platform. To shield drop hold your shield button and lightly press down on the control stick to do it. If you side step you're doing it too fast.I've been watching a bit of amsa recently and I noticed that he is very good at wavelanding on platforms and fastfalling instantly after sliding off of the platform. He also can hold shield on a platform wait to get hit and then instantly shielddrop and punish. What are the inputs for these two techniques?
McKinney area, north of Plano. And yes, lets definitely play~Absolutely. My tag is YREX and I may or may not have my big pink yoshi plushie with me but I'll be wearing my pink perler bead yoshi (avatar) for sure.
Speaking of which I just noticed your location listed as DFW, may I ask which area you are from? I'm from BC, Canada but I was just down there over Christmas to visit relatives.
It was nice meeting you man, and no worries! It was a very busy tourney in general, but hella fun. Maybe we can play at Genesis 4 Still never played against a good Yoshi before...My Genesis 3 summary:
I ended up making it out of Wave 1 pools and placing in the top 300 in Melee and tied for 17th place in Smash 64. I feel I played very well and learned quite a bit about the ICs MU. I found that I need to work more on my shield drops and tighten my spacing so I can play more efficiently.
The scale of the tournament was incredible, but it rarely felt crowded. The venue was able to accommodate everyone and the friendlies room was a very welcome addition that made the experience more enjoyable. I'd like to apologize to hamyojo and Cordless . I met them briefly on Friday and unfortunately didn't get to play friendlies with them because I got caught up in Smash 64, as I had pools for that game the following day. I hope you both also had a great time at the event!
On another note, does anyone here play yellow Yoshi? I briefly saw a good Yoshi player in the friendlies room that played yellow.
Ya, noticed a lot of that too. Thanks for watching though, a few things to work on for sure.K kofinater , I saw your GFs vod of the PGH/NEOH arcadian. You did well capitalizing on Eggnawg's mistakes and that's what kept you in the set, but I noticed 3 big things that you should work on:
1. Edgeguarding Sheik. It looked like you were off on your get-up timing and then that caused you to lose confidence in edgehogging with normal get-up, which in turn gave your opponent some freebies getting back to the stage when you didn't think he would make it back. You also whiffed a lot of U-tilt punishes which probably would've been better as U-air, N-air, or F-air.
2. Eggnawg got so many free grabs on you from shield. Rather than trying a bunch of different ways to pressure shield, I think it's easier and more consistent to discourage shielding with grabs and Egg Lay. You tried for 2 dashgrabs in game 1 which whiffed due to z-axis nonsense and that seemed to discourage you from even attempting to grab for the rest of the set. I only remember seeing 2 attempted Egg Lays throughout 9 games, but you definitely could've landed a bunch of them because Eggnawg's shielding was incredibly predictable. Egg Lay is probably better in this matchup because it's easier to land, but if Samus players can condition opponents well enough to land a frame 18 grab, Yoshi should be able to as well.
3. There were a few knockdowns that you could've jab reset but didn't.
Even if you're not all the way back you're advice and critique is always welcome . I'm not sure if you'd be interested in joining the Skype group that's been put up (or if you're already in there) but if you want you can add festiveforlife and I'll put you in. Cheers and congratulations on the first place placement! I look forward to watching it if postedMan......
Hello fellow yoshi players...It has indeed been a minute...I've missed you all. I just now finished nearly reading this entire thread to see what I've missed up on and it's been alot. From genesis performers to locals and tournies I've missed alot...I'm definetely not going to say I'm back, (because I always say that and disappear again, life Johns) but for the time being I'm around...
I haven't attended or played in tourney since Evo 2015? It's been a while....but slowly but surely starting to realize that I really miss the game..
I just finished recently our AZ monthly tournament and got my first official 1st place finish at a monthly (with top 100 Talent) ...Still seems unreal to me to be quite honest...No idea if the video are gonna be uploaded (kinda don't care either lol) kinda just happy...perhaps it's the happiness I miss...or maybe you guys who knows...
Regardless I want to help out more along here in Any way that I can...
So again hello yoshi forum and if there's anything I can do to help contribute please let me know...I've thoroughly missed you guys and this game...
I want to say alot to all of the yoshi players whether it's critique or advice seems everyone in here had taken care of one another so I won't go far in the past and assist if it's not needed by me...but thank you everyone for being amazing
