Best way to practice parrying with Yoshi

[Skrlx]

I was bored playing smash 64 on console and started parrying red shells. I think it's a really good way to practice parrying with red shells. It may not be practical because you can't compare the predictable red shells with a good opponent but it helps getting parrying down. Putting those parrying skills on real matches would be the real practice. I also parried bob-ombs by throwing them in the air and then waiting until it falls down.

List of things to parry:
red shells
bob-ombs
green shells
hammer (spawn hammer and let the CPU get it and parry the first hit and try to parry all the hits)
ray gun shots

Ive been trying to find a way to practice this tactic with yoshi in melee, and I could NOT find one, I never though of using a red shell though =0

I can parry projectiles ok but actual moves are a lot harder.

I'll try this though

my yoshi is fail but in game ill generally spam parry in friendlies just to look so cool when i get one xD

The best way to practice parrying is doing it in an actual match. It's easier than it sounds.

When I used to practice parrying, I would usually vs a level 1 computer (usually fox)

Every time you hit a fox user to the ground, like with an fair, they always stand up with the kicks, I would parry those.

red shells > lvl 1 fox

XD

I use red shells on dreamland to practice ledge DI. Throw the shell, jump off, try and smash DI into the ledge. Works well for reverse ledge DI practice

I tried it out and the AI for Fox does not do a get up attack every time (in both Japanese and American versions). Also, if he lands on his back, the get-up attack hits in front of him first, then behind, and vice-versa if he lands on his face. The AI also waits different amount of time before starting the get-up attack. I would rather practice on something that is really easy and mindless to practice on... parrying in-game is not quite as mindless, but the REAL practice, after you get the muscle memory down, should be in real matches anyway.

Exactly. Use red shells to get parrying down and then practice those skills on real matches because that's where it counts.

Parrying in real matches is the only way I've ever practiced. There are some really easy moves to parry in matches like Link's dair, Samus' charge shot, Fox's fair etc. I'd start with those.

In training-mode every char does get-up-attack every time. I parry those just because I see them coming, but I really should try the red shell thing...and real matches I suppose.

Hmmmm, I don't remember that being the case. I think it's the majority of the time, but not every time.

 

[killa k]

I never thought of the red shell thing, I should try that. I normally practice against CPU's and in real matches.

Every single time. I've been waiting for years for a different result, but it's every time. I know it sounds weird. From any hit or throw, if they fall down they will do get-up-attack. (This is when they are on "stand" btw, don't know if that would change anything)

I just played around in training mode, and sometimes the CPU techs (on Stand). I'm not sure exactly what's causing it, but it's done it a few times after strong hits in a combo.

The computer takes forever to stand up in training mode anyway
