I play Yoshi so it'll be easy to differentiate me from the rest if you find me playing.

going a little more in-depth

jiggs dies from fresh usmash at 42, fully staled usmash at 54
strong nair does 12 on fresh, 6 on stale
weak nair does 9 on fresh, 4 on stale

so yeah strong nair > usmash on fresh will kill from 30
if you hit with weak nair you can still kill from 33

speaking of percentages i might as well throw this up. back in the day i was getting tired of cc's so i wrote down some percentages to keep in mind
cc %'s (fully staled moves)

jiggs -61 strong nair, 101 weak nair, 27 rising uair
fox - 69 strong nair, 111 weak nair, 30 rising uair
falco -70 strong nair, 112 weak nair, 31 rising uair
marth -73 strong nair, 118 weak nair, 31 rising uair
peach -74 strong nair, 120 weak nair, 32 rising uair
cf -80 strong nair, 130 weak nair, 35 rising uair
based on this cc vs nair is stupid good
thank god for uair/dsmash

I went to eat after pools were done then was looking around for more friendlies to play. How early did you leave? I know that a lot of people left after singles were done.

Thanks! Your Pikachu is ridiculous and at times I felt like you were reading me like a book since you have so much Yoshi practice. I hope to become as proficient as you and Vman are at shield dropping, and I hope we get to play again sometime soon!

I commentated on a handfull of HMW's matches, including him vs Silent Wolf, Tafokints, and Fly.
And also Hbox vs Fly. And a small part of 1 doubles match with OkamiBW lol.

That was my first time ever commentating so idk if anyone liked it or not, but it was fun! I would actuually like to do it more lol.

And yes, me vs Zhu (both in the winner's and loser's bracket) were recorded, as well as me vs PPU. I got ***** haha

im not axe but

dash asap out of throw, but don't dash so early that you end up walking

jc your grabs (press y or up, and then z immediately after)

sometimes you'll need to dd turnaround grab vs slight di if you dash early

and practice
