I agree, parrying is an unbelievably difficult skill. I'm still practicing the egg stall, yesterday was my first time trying this new technique, so it is not quite there yet. I remember learning egg stalls and other ledge game with yoshi was similarly frustrating before, so I'm optimistic that...

The biggest thing for me was without the fluid half circle motion, I was wasting a lot of time moving my control stick through center and having to have very precise inputs. I don't think it takes too much practice compared to the tech of some other characters and other yoshi tech like parrying...

Just edited this discussion in the description, would love your thoughts!!

A little late to the party, is it possible to up smash directly out of parry? or do you need to cancel a jump with a double jump and then up smash every time? I play on dolphin and up on the c stick just makes Yoshi jump out of shield animation.
