Smash Master
This was a series of matches between people in the same state with a green connection (very little lag either way.) We had communication between each other via IRC to verify this with each other.dmbrandon said:Basing your claims on playing over laggy wifi completely discredits you. I've played online, and without the american servers up, host has a SEVER advantage. I have taken your words into account, but the fact is, as of now, no one is WORSE! I'm not saying he's terrible, I'm saying he's not as good as the rest of the cast. He's easily gimped, easily combo'd, and easily killed. Besides his Bair, he has no approach, and you can't throw reverse eggs anymore.
You specifically say in your ratings that yoshi was nerfed overall. If that's not saying he's worse then I don't know what is.
Yoshi's better approaches include not only the bair, but eggs (which can develop a very nice mind-game, indeed,) a dash attack that stays out there for a long time compared to most characters', a very nice dash grab provided you know not to do it at point blank range, and his other aerials that have good priority in their own right. In my experience, he's one of the harder characters to combo. Yoshi's double jump still has super armor when it counts to get him out of aerial combos, when combined with proper DI. His shield not shrinking around him as it gets weaker prevents opponents from sneaking a hit on him, and I'm not gonna go into the l-cancelling/sheild grabbing stuff again.
You strike me as one of those people who hasn't played a yoshi that knows that he's doing before, and therefore put yoshi at the bottom of the pack in melee. You offer no specific evidence to counter what I've posted, or anyone else that has talked about yoshi. It doesn't seem very convincing for your case that you've tried to discredit everyone who's gone against you on your judgement with yoshi, however valid his arguement is.
I'd appreciate it if you were to actually reply to my gameplay comments, next time you reply, rather than bash what I've done and skirt around the essentials by restating what you said in the first post. Thanks for your time.
