hey all, I've been playing a lot of yoshi in champaign recently, there have been some good games. Here are a few sets from a recent weekly and from SMYM16: vs. Massy (pikachu): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE56g5t4f1g&list=PLmW-ZIxEPEmKBvY4NCti_TKwzuXrCl84b&index=4 vs. ColumW (lucas)...

I sometimes think about doing anything except default controls, but then I realize I can't do maybe half of the AT I want right now with default anyway and go to work on my inputs

@pugwishbone17 that is impressively bad, I think that might be a bug as well @Mumbo right, you can't perform any action during IASA frames, so less IASA+higher terminal velocity==safer and easier ECEs, you no longer have to be TAS level to be frame safe it's actually pretty exciting...

props to @Narpas_sword for providing some feedback, these boards (from what I've seen and I lurk a lot) have the least amount of purple posts of any character board, so it's good to have some official presence. Not a john, just being objective. from what we've seen, yoshi's dtilt and bair...

well ****

it's up to you to decide if these are decent or not but I just put a few in the video thread ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

spoiler alert I may or may not be sober in these videos (painkillers for throat infection) ~ vs. Drugfreechu (g&w) skip to 7:39: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIc-Nzvm2O8 vs. Ripple (samus, zsuit): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmEXd86yzcA vs. FormerlyKnownAs with that sweet sweet ditto...

right, to clarify, the main point of the wavedash backward OOS is to force dorf to whiff assuming that he put your shield in the "sweetspot" of his sideb and wanted to surprise you with it from far away. For a point blank flame choke or for beating wizard kick, you can still beat both with...

dorf is a hard MU for sure, I dunno if I'd say it's yoshi's worst but it's definitely up there. I'll look for a vid of myself beating a dorf (I beat most I've played) but here's a few MU specific tips: dorf's recovery is solid but very easy to beat if you get a good read. edgeguard him with...

confirmed that yoshi can still be shield poked: for easy reproduction, go to battlefield, shield on one of the bottom platforms, and have a falcon on the ground right below you try uptilt. gg. re: grab nerfs, I understand the intention, but it really bothers me that it's impossible to grab...

I have no proof but this was in 3.5 as well for sure, possibly even earlier. Certain large disjointed moves with a hitbox that appears "behind" yoshi's egg poke him in the butt, I don't know the exact mechanic but I play a lot with Ripple and he mentioned these same moves had the same bug in...

some thoughts of mine now that I've taken 3.6 yoshi out for an extensive test drive... new upair: brety gud, at moderate % 30-60 depending on weight you can use the decreased KBG to get some very interesting setups that weren't possible in 3.5. Try mixing up your djc upair followups instead of...

thanks for the data, Mumbo. Like Limbose mentioned though...most opponents aren't perfect, not even close imo until you get to very high levels of play. My opinion though is to play against your opponent as if they're perfect, and even at that point the only three characters that are going to...

new dair (basically pre-3.5 dair but with a little less damage) is incredible, I think it makes up for grab and weight nerfs alone. I was initially really salty about the upair nerf but it actually is more useful for comboing out of with nair or fair followups now, so that's a wash. This new...

Limbo's mostly on the money, Ness and Ike I have a lot of experience with though so a few worth adding maybe: Ness has excellent combo potential on Yoshi and also faster and safer dj options in general compared to you, and a good grab game with easy followups. One thing he doesn't have is a...
