I believe I mentioned the d-smash's usefulness against Snake in another thread so I take partial credit for this. 
jk jk. I do admit, though, that I love the d-smash and I actually neglected it in Melee for some strange reason.

Yeah, you're absolutely right, Shiri. That move can be useful anywhere. I still love it, too.

You're right that the Dsmash is the new Dtilt. I love using it as a counter, and to set-up for gimped deaths. I think that if the Dtilt had much more knockback, then we would see that the moves traded properties from melee (not including dmg). I love it to death XD
Oh IceAge, the Dsmash does hit twice, but you have to be pretty much on top of them and at low percentages for it to work.

Speaking of D-tilt, did anyone else figure out that it doesn't have set knockback anymore?

i agree as much as human can possible agree. this move is clutch, and doesn't require perfect timing or accuracy.

I actually found this out just last night lol. It's still got a nice low trajectory, though. Pretty useful for edge games.

Eh i agree with alot of it, but the problem is if it gets shielded, u get punished, because its got pretty big lag. But yea, its good. Finally, the old page long rants about yoshi are back =P

Indeed. It's also got pretty good knockback at low percentages thought the knockback only slightly increases with damage. I can stll get a 0% kill on most walk-off stages with it hehe.

Bair to Double hit Dsmash at low percents almost always earns you a "wtf, how do i have 40 damage already?" oh my I just realized I do still love the Dsmash, sure it isn't the wtf I died at 80 percent from a tail hitting me anymore but it's useful, good get the **** off me move, and it looks and sounds sooo cute when he does it (no i'm not a girl, but I know cute when i see it)

Leafeon has awesome Attack power for a Grass-type.

What would ever possess you to Dsmash when you could just as easily rising Nair-->Jab-->Jab-->Fsmash/Dtilt/Grab/NeutralB/Ftilt...
Aside from a mindgame [even after committing time to read your massive post] why would i NOT want to do the above VS Dsmash?

i use down smash defensively, usually. the knockback helps create some space against characters that need it. what you mentioned is more of an approach, in which case down smash would be useless.
Sharky
Smash Master
That shouldn't even work anyway. A rising nair? There's way too much time inbetween the hit and the landing to get those jabs in consistently, even if it didn't knock them too far away.

Mindgames son.. and follow their DI [though i just assume you doit at a low enough % to follow up >_>; ]
Sharky
Smash Master
jabs don't follow up into half those things anyway, they've got pleeenty of time to get out of the way, and don't say mindgames cause there aren't any that apply when there's only one way to get to them to follow up >.>

I say it's a good habitIt's a really bad habit, I know. x_x
Make a Yoshi guide, Shiri. I like Sharky's but I'd love to read what you would write on the subject hehehe. :D

Yoshi's down smash isn't that terrible. I mean, I personally think it was better in Melee, but it's still good and definitely useful in Brawl.
