Cool! Hopefully I'll be able to play in this tourney!

I know that checkins are available an hour before the tourney but when does registration end? Any time before the checkin?

Just an observation: Yoshi's down air against an opponent who shields the entirety of the move has devastating implications. Earlier, A DK did just that and, after his shield was reduced to a pea, I was able to up tilt him before he could do anything else. Possibly, he didn't react fast enough...

From my experience, a good tactic to use is to down throw your opponent then jump to the height that you usually would be at when you do down throw -> up air. Except, don't actually do the up-air and, if your opponent air dodges, you can fall down with your opponent and get a free up air. It can...

Anyone notice any changes with Yoshi?

Apologies if that's the case; I'm new to the website and I didn't realize it.

Yes, I completely agree. I will try to apply these tactics next time I play with the Mario; I greatly appreciate the help!

Yeah, I didn't want to make the impression that I was blaming the lag; I definitively realize that I can improve aspects of my game that often result in my losses, although lag doesn't help, haha. And I think you make a very valid point in saying that I'm unable to punish his up smash because of...

Thank you for the very insightful response! Grabbing after an up smash can be difficult because Mario can spot dodge very quickly after an upsmash :/ Also, although this may seem slightly off topic, I play this Mario on the 3DS online as he's on my friends list. My question is, how significant...

Ill try it out. Thank you!

For what's it's worth, I'm playing online versus a friend and, although it may be mental, I feel like its harder to punish due to the lag. I guess that leads to my next question: how significant of a difference is there amongst local and online play, even if the lag in online isn't necessarily...

But in limiting Yoshi's smash attack usage and egg usage, are there any optimal tactics to bait out moves that yoshi can punish? I feel like even punishing with Yoshi is hard in this matchup. For example, I find that landing a forward smash is fairly difficult. Mario, on the other hand, can just...

Hey, I wanted to know more about Yoshi's matchup with Mario. Every time I'm at a high percent, the Mario is able to kill me with his fast, low lag smash attacks such as his up smash which are really difficult for me to punish. When he's at high percentages it's really difficult for me to finish...

Hello smashers. I recently played several matches with a friend of mine who mains Mario and I lost the last several matches due to my inability to kill him at high percents. I find that Mario is very hard to punish because, everytime that he upsmashed, he'd be able to evade any attacks due to...
