If you want my opinion, he doesn't like to sidestep at all. Before I started playing Brawl, I never sidestepped. I would try to supershield whenever possible. Since supershielding is pretty hard, I would only press the shileld button lightly, so that I would get a light shield and slide away...

Wow, that was really entertaining to watch. You've got outstanding chasing skills and are really creative with the platforms. And you've definitely got the f-air down, although, as others have said, the f-air is a double-edged sword. Especially Marth can punish it pretty easily. I would have...

Hey, just wanted to say that Melee's got me back, there's no way I'll ever play Brawl again after seeing what it did to my Melee skills... Anyways, I'm still trying to get back in shape, so I guess you won't see too much from me anytime soon. Also, there were like 0 tourneys in my area when...

Heh, this is great, as always. I know I probably won't be able to translate most of this 1:1 into my game, but it's another piece of information that will be stored somewhere in my head, overall bettering my understanding of the game, and therefore improving my game. So, thanks a lot, keep...

Lawl, this is so awesome! I can't think of any uses, but it looks and sounds so funny! :laugh: Nice find!

Unrefined? I remember trying (and failing) to find some videos of your "legendary" Yoshi, back in the Melee days, you sure haven't been around for a while, huh? ;) Anyways, that sounds pretty awesome, I'll try and test this a bit tomorrow, let's hope this can be reproduced reliably.

Yeah, seriously, you don't even have to respond to that. Most of what he said were claims with no reasoning to back them up, mixed with some stuff that is simply not true and can be proven wrong by trying it out in the game.

Hmm, I just gave it a shot, and I have to say, sliding over buttons really kills my fingers, dunno what I'm doing wrong. Maybe this sliding stuff just isn't for me though.

I agree with almost everything in the summary, except for the recovery being easily gimped. If Yoshi plays it safe and mixes it up enough to not get predictable, it's very hard to gimp him. I don't say it's impossible, Yoshi has a lot of options when recovering, but if the opponent guesses...

If you use the C-Stick, you can even do it a little quicker than if you use the analog stick only.

Level 9 computers will definitely make you develop bad habits by making the same mistakes over and over again. Mistakes, which a real person would only make once or twice. So you'll get used to exploiting these mistakes, which won't work on real people. Level 1 computers on the other hand...

I don't normally take part in these kinds of discussions, because experience tells me they're usually pointless, but this statement just begs to be torn apart. And not from a Yoshi standpoint either. You could pretty much insert anything there, it doesn't matter. There is no such thing as a...

Ah, alright, thank you very much for clearing that up. I think I just now really understood what brickwalls are. :) Currently, Im mostly playing friendlies with my brother and some friends (no tournies in my area), so I don't use brickwalls a lot, because I'm playing to learn. But I did...

Nice guide there, but let me ask a question. The way I see it, brickwalls make it hard for your opponent to attack you while still dealing some damage. So, by mixing it up properly (i.e. start with projectile zoning, then, just when your opponent has found a way around it, switching to long...

Just one thing: Try a rising airdodge (double jump and then airdodge). Epic win.
