Aye Mr Lord.. he is clearly on drugs..

G&W ***** Yoshi.. as does Falco.. Snake is pretty even.. but DDD is a fricking b*tch.
I agree that Falco is hard as hell to beat along with Wolf and Snake because their projectives and shields block Yoshis eggs, but I beat a good Falco today on Battlefield, so it is definately possible on maps where the ledges cancels out the laser. It won't help with Wolf though and I don't know about Snake, but I would say he is much easier then Wolf.

G&W is not hard if you egg spam close to his feet and get him to attack you. The only really hard move he has is the turtle and if you can avoid that, everything else like his key, smashes, and parachute are predictable.


And Marth is easy as hell. Just egg spam him and when he runs towards you, run towards him, eat him, then chaingrab him. Marth has no aerial game and since he is kind of tall, you can easily flutter kick him and predict his moves. He is nowhere near as hard as he was in Melee and like I said, eggs+chaingrab are a guranteed win.

DDD is pretty hard because of the chaingrab, but it is much easier to get out of then the Ice Climbers chaingrab, but since he is tall, he is easy to flutterkick him and hit him when he comes down from attacks or is on a flatform above you. Just egg spam camp him and take it slow and you should be able to win along with grabbing him a couple times. Rush in and you will get grabbed like no tomorrow and messed up.

Pikachu is hard like the others have said because of his lightning, but he is not unbeatable, just annoying. Just stay back, egg spam him, let him throw bolts at you, and then move in and make him into an egg from the air or flutter kick or aa him.


IMO, the hardest players I have faught are Wolf, DDD, Zelda, Snake, and Ice Climbers (just because of their chaingrab and ice projectiles). I think DDD, Snake, and if you can avoid the Ice Climbers grab, are probably the easiest out of the bunch.

Pikachu is gimpable once if they decide to skull bash recover. That's an easy Fair spike they won't know about. But yeah as long as you avoid the Dsmash and the thunder you're solid against the little rat.

DDD's chaingrab never gave me much of a problem I just jab as I land it that'll usually break it, unless there's a dash shield grab my opponent decided not to use. Other than that though, yeah yoshi's eggs are way better than the waddles.

Snake, big heavy walking target. only thing I find annoying about him in a 1v1 is his nades, but eggs can destroy then if the snake isn't really careful, and his air game SUCKSSS!!!! So I usually just Bair snake alot and usually bair them into other attacks if i so choose, and i nice Dthrow to Uair for the kill or a nice Fair spike take care of business.

WTF@ this thread.

Pride, I'm on a mission to demolish you with Marth so you can come to your senses.

I refuse to allow you to delude yourself.

I must save your soul.

Wait....why is everyone saying that marth is in our favor? I find it in marth's favor, but a small one. Eggs aren't enough to stop marth from pressuring you, especially when you're trapped in the egg.

trash talking on the yoshi boards, w00t! /drama

anyways i think yoshi/marth matchup is pretty close to even, slightly in marth's favor. but i don't give marth a huge edge at all, marth has nothing that will completely shut yoshi down. omg a sword!

lol.

Who cares about slight advantage or w/e. He said Marth is an easy match-up and the same thing about Falco and a few others.

That's ridiculous.

Pride: You were the first Yoshi player I ever played. You had Marth experience already. And if the match is in Yoshi's favor then by all rights I shouldn't have beaten you, correct?

But I did. I beat you more then you beat me.

Hmmmmm.

Interesting.

ughhh. if you read my post, i said the matches I thought were in yoshi's favor are with my experience! I find martha to be one of the EASIER match ups for MY yoshi in the game. I stated it twice in this thread before you jumped on that those were from my experience as a yoshi player in tournaments. Whether physically and technically martha is a harder match up for yoshi, I dont know but for me, I get happy when I know I am playing a martha player. ten times better than if someone chooses wolf.

and dont tell me I had martha experience. every body playing brawl usually brings something new to a match. Your martha was way different than any of the marthas I ever played, which I told you during our matches.. so no, I wasn't "prepared" or what eve it is u said.

:yoshi: How much Zero Suit Samus experience do people here have?

I'm just interested to hear everyone's thoughts on the matchup.

I kinda like versing Zamus. She has one killing move, and that's her side B. Eggs own her because she's tall and pretty easy o hit, and it's really really easy to outrange her. She is also pretty light, which drastically helps Yoshi's KO game. I'd say as the Yoshi player, out camp and overpower her. Use Yoshi like a power character in games like this against light people.

Hmm, maybe I just suck, but the character I've had the most trouble with is...Ike.
When he uses Quick Draw to move, he's actually kinda quick, and QD->Jab combo is beastly. His range and priority trumps almost everything, it seems.
What do you guys think?

Just a note on Snake. I find him to be a really easy matchup actually. You have so much more mobility than he does, a pretty ****ed good projectile game (egg stall ftw), and most of all, you can gimp his recovery with eggs. Sure he can just pull out another cypher, but even if he does recover, you can still rack up great damage and use the opportunity to freshen up all of your kill moves.

If this is actually what you think of the matchup, you're going to get curbstomped by any ZSS worth their salt.

I retract my previous statement... the randomly technical Zamus could probably Depster a run for his money... but not the legendary ChozenOne
You're a fairly arrogant Yoshi. Why don't you elevate him past 37th (AKA last) in the character rankings list before you, ya know, talk crap?

I'm sure if you were a legendary Yoshi, we'd know about you.

How can you possibly know if you're one of the top3 Robs in the country? That's like me saying I'm one of the top 3 yoshi's in the country, it might be true but I sure hope it isn't.

Pride: You can **** me all you like.

But to say Yoshi beats on a character just because of 1 or 2 things is ridiculous.

Also I despise MM's.

I'd like to also ask what were you thinking when you said Yoshi has an easy time against Marth.

As a player of both Marth and Yoshi... uh...

How does Yoshi boast (an even slight) advantage over Marth?



Then...

The only thing I see Yoshi has on Snake is that Yoshi has general better air control, but Snake can kill super easy. Snake can only kill with tilts? You have C4(+ dthrow traps), usmash(several good snakes love to spam this), dair(easy shield pressure if you block)...

Let's see, according to the Snake boards, Snake's utilt kills Yoshi at around 107% without stale move negation(tested from the center of FD). With all the grenades, C4, mortars and tilts flying around, it's going to be pretty difficult to land hits on Snake without getting hit. I think eggs can cancel out grenades, but I don't think that suddenly shifts the matchup in favor of Yoshi all of a sudden.



And... Falco?

I don't have much experience in Falco vs. Yoshi, but I'd like to hear more clarification on this.

Marth just shut down Yoshi's whole gameplan.

I'd like a friendly set of matches with you emblem, I don't play many matches against good Marths and it'd be fun, plus, we might be able to contribute more to this thread.

@Eltrotraw: Falco really shuts down Yoshi from what I've played. Lasers make Bair and most other approaches near impossible, and the ones that it doesn't can often be shield grabbed. Eggs are useless here, and I'm pretty sure Falco's Dair will beat Yoshi's Uair. Falco punishes Yoshi for pretty much anything.

The only good things for Yoshi I've found in that matchup is that Falco can't edgeguard Yoshi easily, and Nair helps Yoshi get out of the chaingrab.

I still don't see how Yoshi has an easy time against Marth in this game. Explain.

lol.

Notice how I haven't even said if Marth has advantage? All I'm doing is defending Marth and saying that Yoshi doesn't **** Marth like Pride is implying.

I don't even think Marth owns Yoshi or anything, but to act like Yoshi demolishes a character because "the eggs are too good" is effin ludicrous.

That's exactly why I was asking to see what he meant - I don't see eggs as being enough of a reason to grant Yoshi an advantage over Marth.

What, is there the tail?

Grab range?

Aerial game(lol)?

Ground game?

Gimp game?

I changed my avatar because after like a year of SWF staff uploading new avatars we FINALLY get ONE Brawl Marth avatar while almost every other character has like 10 or more.

It's disgusting.
