  • Well, I don't really want to seem in any way elitist or arrogant, so I guess I will explain what I don't see in other Yoshi's.

    1) Spacing of Yoshi mains, in general, is very poor. They bair through their opponent and -hope- that they arent shield grabbed or punished. Many of their moves miss and its a large amount of waste on their part.

    2) They do not change up their styles. People will use only his bair as an approach and forget about other ways to get inside the opponent. This makes it extremely easy to read. How about after a couple bairs, where your opponent learns to shield, you pretend to go for bair, but DJC to egglay instead. This goes for on the edge and off the edge as well. Yoshis are too predictable in their movements.

    3) They also have a lack of safety in their moves. I think that Yoshi mains have too much pride and fail to realize their character's limitations when dealing with off the edge as well as other situations. Pride ledge drops and uses 2-3 eggs very far from the edge. The chances of you being gimped in this situation are too great and will happen eventually. Not only that but in almost no situation should you ever use downb in the air, and yet I see many Yoshis use it that way. There is too much lag and not enough knockback to be viable. You will be punished.

    4) Standing still when throwing eggs. No matter what "style" a person has, such as lilb, not using ETS in every egg toss situation on the ground isn't a smart idea. Why would you not like to gain that extra amount of spacing? Not only that, but it is very hard to read a yoshi's movements when he is constantly weaving one way and another. Standing still and tossing eggs leaves you open. Marth can just run right under them and punish.

    5) As you guessed, knowing a matchup inside and out. With every character, you should have an answer for any situation you are in. The reason why G&W, Marth, and Wolf are 70:30 is because we do not have an answer for their attacks. In fact, the only safe option in all of these situations is pivot grab...nothing else. People don't know this. They need to know what move beats tornado as well as anything else.

    6) There is a loss of general mind games and unpredictability. Yoshi mains tend to trade in their mind games so they can try to combo as much as possible. They don't care as long as they connect bair->utilt->uair. They need to back off and realize when the opponent has gained control of his character, these won't always work so you have to read and predict and not get read or predicted.

    This isn't very organized, but I hope this is the answer you were looking for. This is my opinion of it.
    Too slow Chaco =P

    You should have posted in the general thread thing. Or if you did, you should have been the most recent post, which is what I went off of. Lol jk, you're last tourney never finished, remember? People wouldn't be very happy if I gave you another sticky right now.
    But still, <3 Chaco
    Chaco, my sexy fellow Yoshi main. :D Lol no homo.

    And sorry about the state of the Yoshi Boards. I'm going to a Tournament real soon, so I'll rep Yoshi then.
    :yoshi: Obama promised change. Change is coming.

    Even if you have to take a break for like, a week, don't fret too much. Just give it a little rest (forum activity, that is), and see if anything's different when you come back. It seems as though the story of Yoshi is full of ruts of all types and this is just another one that we're wading in for now. It'll change; just give it some time.
    Oh, that's sad to hear. I hope you two get everything worked out.

    And dude, Hayley and I aren't the happiest couple in the world. We argue a lot (mildly and jokingly), and we've only fought twice; once when she bought $200 worth of stuff with my own money. She didn't ask me to pay for anything, so when I asked her how she was going to pay it all, she told me with my own money. So we got into a huge fight, and we literally didn't talk for a couple of days until she payed me back (although I didn't ask her to). The other time was far back, when she accused me of checking out other girls. Not to mention how annoying she sometimes gets. Don't get me wrong, there's more things about her that I like than things about her than I hate, and I love her very much. But there are things that we always disagree on.
    Lol, I need to add you on myspace sometime, so I can talk to you, besides brawl. If you don't want to it's perfectly fine. I would be kinda freaked out by someone asking me. Ha. But your like the only one I would trust ha.
    Lol, you and Fal are making this terrible day slightly better. :3 <3

    ~Blahblahblah some other crap I forgot.~
    Actually DJ Cat and Ghost used Yoshi as well and both got 17th.

    Amaterasu probably has the best Brawl Yoshi in Australia, lol.

    Yoshi is something of an iconic character in Australia. We think we have more Yoshi's per smasher than any other state.

    Seriously.
    Hmm, not really. I picked up ice climbers because of him, he's way better in FFA's, as are all ice climbers.
    He's better at chaingrabbing online too.
    GG's. Nice Luigi, but you need to work on your recovery

    And it still lags too much between us =/
    Not fun....
    I can only play for a few matches though xD
    I have to be at work in 30 mins D=
    Not even close to being fixed. Well, the laptop is fine. My keyboard is just... *****, lol.
    Heh, good to hear. I'll probably see about it this weekend as I'm booked with homework, quizzes, and tests all week =(
    Wrong, its just my cunning strategy of killing more enemies and letting less of my people die. I'm pretty much the greatest military mind to grace this world.
    Actually, it sucks. People don't believe me, they think I stole the name from Naruto's Neji. And when they find out my name is pronounced Neh-GEE, they think it's Negi from Negima. Hell, when I started high school and this kid named Chris saw my name, he said "Hey, that's an awesome nickname. So you like Naruto?"

    I hate his guts even to this day. XD
    I cried on the inside from all the ownage I recieved during those matches.

    Not even a Gigas can withstand that many Falcon / Warlock Punches. My Pit died. I don't see him in my Character Select screen anymore.
