Well it sucks that you see yoshi as the worst. Eh, I may disagree, he was my main lol, but I respect your opinion on it.
Infact, I've heard a lot of different info on Yoshi. Certain moves are weaker or same said moves are the same strength *Who hasn't been nerfed?*, but I've also heard people who tested him out said that certain moves have more knock back , and are quicker, like his egg throw and egg roll*MAN, I HOPE SO! Stevie wonder could stop that move!* I'll just have to see how he works when brawl comes out.
I really don't see the big deal about the DJC. I never used it; if I did, wasn't much. I honestly did just fine. Beat some pretty good people with him, got a couple of *** kicking though, but who doesn't get those. I'm more ground game than air game, that's probably why DJC is "eh" to me.
All in all, I'm happy about his range buff, and that certain moves were nerfed. It seems like It'll benefit my game, For some matches, it seem like Yoshi had knockback in some of the wrong moves in Melee. I'll knock them back, but then I have to chase them down just to add damage, and Wham! SCREWED! The nerfs kinda help his combo game a little as well. I'm good with that.
Yoshi is an awkward fighter, but I'm awkward as well. I could play well with him, but I couldnt do jack with characters like Mario and Marth who are VERY beginner friendly. Wierd, huh? Infact, My three mains where Yoshi, kirby and Mr. Game and Watch. Yep, I was skilled with mostly the low-tiers.
Well, that my little explanation. Great work on here. If this explanation bothered you, than I'm sorry. Look forward to brawl! Man, My Mains will be even more expanded. A combo friendly yoshi, Better Kirby, A... Game and Watch, annnnd... A Gun wielding Monkey, An angry Knight head, ... Blah, blah, blah.... lol
