So I was at a tournament this past weekend and I might have discovered something. If it has already been known, tell me politely(e.g. Nicalobe, you ****ing idiot, this is the oldest thing in Yoshi player history you stoopid n00b!!11!) that it has been known for some time and I will equally apologize for being uninformed and gladly lock the post.
Anyways, I was fighting a Lucario who was for some reason resisting my bair advances. I'm not sure why, but instead of taking the damage like I was hoping he would, he put up a shield instead to block it all, then he would shield grab me. Well, this became very impolite, and so I did a bair approach but then used a reverse egg lay to get him out of his shield.
It was about this time that I noticed, "Wow, he pops out really high as an egg. And when he breaks out of the egg, he pops up a little bit higher." It was then I figured out that as soon as I laid him as an egg, I could immediatly short hop, then at the height of the short hop, follow up with a double jump. This would cause me to be right on top of him as he broke out of my very well crafted egg I made for him. With a simple uair, he was sent flying for a pretty effortless kill.
And so I bring this list to the Yoshi boards of all the characters who had the same reaction to the egg lay that Lucario has. PLEASE NOTE, THESE WERE ALL TESTED ON A COMPUTER PLAYER, WHICH REALLY SHOULDN'T MATTER SINCE THEY GET OUT OF THE EGG AS FAST POSSIBLE.
Now, your opponent might start to get wise to your tricks and try different ideas. If they stay in the egg for longer before breaking out, then we can, by anticipating their actions, use your dair on them while they are in the egg to rack up 30+ damage. If they attack straight out of the egg, our heavy armor from our double jump will absorb the knockback, which allows our uair to come out without a hitch. If they decide to airdodge out of the shield, it doesn't really matter since our uair ends before their airdodge ends and we will (usually) still be right on top of them when they are vulnerable for another uair.
Without further delay, here is a list of the characters that I was able to do this technique on:
Samus
Kirby
Marth
G&W
Luigi
Zelda
Pit
Ivysaur
Charizard
Ike
Peach
Yoshi
IC's
Kind DDD
Lucario
Ness
Sonic
Toon Link
ROB
Olimar
Jigglypuff
Pit, Ivysaur, Yoshi, Sonic, and Olimar all have aerials that last for quite some time. The heavy armor was able to absorb the knockback, but if you start the uair too soon, you will get hit and the combo will not work. Please remember that the heavy armor doesn't work as well at high percentages.
Ike, I was unable to test whether or not Ike's up special would save him and hurt Yoshi. I will test for this in the future when I find someone to play with.
IC's are possible to do this on, but Nana makes it a lot harder than it has to be.
Jigglypuff and Olimar pop up a lot higher than other characters. You can still do the combo, but you will need to do a full jump instead of a short hop followed by a double jump, especially for Jigglypuff.
Luigi is always green.
Note, you don't have to use uair to end it on most characters, you could probably use a nair or bair or whatever. However, some of the characters listed go too high to be hit with anything but an uair.
