As far as speed of play is concerned, he can definitely be just as fast in PM as in Melee. Just get used to not having a counter.

@boodah When you start playing someone with the ability to DJC, it gets tempting to use it all the time in neutral, as if it's this crazy tech that nobody could ever read or react to. I still have a problem trying to DJC at higher percents when it isn't completely safe, and it often leads to...

I didn't mean to claim that he's a bad character. I just got excited about the shield fixes, and disappointed when I saw it wasn't being accepted. We'll see what the future holds, but for now I'll work around it.

I spoke too soon. Looks like we're stuck with a broken shield for the foreseeable future. :/

Yeah, it's not the Dev build with all the new characters. It's just the Halloween build, with fixes to Yoshi's shield, Link's grab, and the teased costumes. Otherwise, as far as I know, it's identical to 3.6. I won't bring it to tournaments unless it becomes accepted, but I think it's more...

I've got 3.6.1 on my Wii now, and I never realized before how stifling it was to not be able to jump for the six frames after pressing shield. Now that I can, everything feels right with the world. I really hope everyone embraces the bugfixes, at least.

Now I'm sad...

I've got a bit of DK experience, though I'm still not great at the matchup. He's got incredibly easy conversions off his grab, but so do you. If he's being predictably aggressive, neutral B is your friend. DK struggles when you're below him. Only DJC when you know you won't get punished for it...

A lot of why I picked up Yoshi in PM was because of how creative and unorthodox you could be with his move set. It wasn't until relatively recently that I realized that all the cool stuff I was doing was either sub optimal (at best) or dangerously risky (most of the time). Meanwhile, I picked up...

Sweet! New Yoshi vids! I was beginning to worry this site was dead.

Yoshi turns invisible while in shield, so you can't see that his foot pokes out of his egg on the bottom front side. Not to mention the fact that if you get hit during the first 6 frames of shield animation (before he's in the egg) Yoshi sometimes just gets hit anyway. That last part might have...

I love your use of egg toss as a defensive wall as you're falling. I've been trying to mix that into my game recently, and it looks like you've got it down. The only thing is that you weren't punishing them running into it very efficiently. I saw a couple spots where a simple f smash or d smash...

True. Up B oos always throws me off. Pressuring DK is tough. Get him into a grab and stay underneath him, maybe? Dair his recovery. It's usually a free kill, unless he saves his jump. If he's not sweet spotting, a well timed d-smash will beat it out.

I was only making the point that if parry were to be implemented, then jump oos would probably have to go, and by extension, light shielding would have to implemented as well. Otherwise it's too easy to pressure Yoshi's shield. It's not a necessary change, and I think it's probably too drastic a...

Most of the issues I have playing as Yoshi, as far as matchups are concerned, have to do with dealing with large disjoints or projectiles. I've got a pocket Link, mainly because he was my main once upon a time, but also because he deals with disjoints a lot easier by not letting them in in the...
