Couldn't find any threads on this, I think it's pretty important.
I think Lylat cruise is amazing for Yoshi.
With the new trajectory on the eggs, the platforms don't get in the way that often. Only during short hop tosses while under the outer platforms trying to hit under the middle one. However, short hopping them closer to the ledge not only works for this, is generally safer, but also actually slides through the middle platform like this in a very deceiving way.
Speaking of the platforms, they provide some other far more severe benefits.
Yoshi's Usmash covers the bottom of each one completely. And then some.
Often, after an egglay they will land on one of these lower platforms and be in a prime position for one of these usmashes.
This also applies to grab air releases.
And speaking of egglay, it's extremely easy to get here. People just sit on those ledges in their shields, and yoshi's tongue covers the entire thing. They're also even lower than bf's low platforms so the full hop consistently gets short characters without any need for proper timing or waiting before hitting be. Also easier to avoid landing on the smaller platforms to avoid being punished.
And as far as recoveries go getting screwed by the ledge, his is pretty forgiving about it unless you cheese way hard and don't egg toss the right way soon enough after you notice.
The slants also make his down smash and tilt go at a nice edgeguarding angle.
Kongo jungle seems like yoshi's worst stage.
The platforms on the side deny him the ability to snap to the ledge for easy and safe returns to the ground since they extend over the ledge.
They're also so high, only uair threatens an opponent on it unless you double jump. Meaning you can't really follow up with anything then.
Those moving platforms make your egg game really inconsistent and unreliable. And there's only so much space to land and only like 2 inches of solid ground to ground pound onto, that floaty yoshi is really easy to read.
It's overall not that bad but if there's a bad yoshi stage I think that'd be it.
What are your guys thoughts?
