Can Yoshi have a variable shield, or is it either light or normal?
And how good do you think he potentially is?
The lighter you press it, the more you'll slide... the light shield last longer as well, and I find it alot more useful than the regular shield.. the only thing that I think is bad about the lightshield, is that you can't parry from it.. you have to have a full shield... =/
Potentially, I honestly think Yoshi, can crawl up to Mewtwo/Zelda's area of the tier list.. at least Low tier... there is just no way, He's on the same grounds as Kirby, Bowser, Pichu, I'm 100% positive he's better than what people believe he's placed at... so only in due time, myself, and other Yoshi's "upcoming, and the current ones" can prove some of Yoshi's completely unexplored potential...Most MU's that Yoshi players have experimented with.. and disliked, i've been somewhat successful in them (I've many really close sets w/player Axe's Falco/Pikachu, and some of AZ's finest.. however, I've trouble w/the matchups, that according to some Yoshi's isn't too bad.. (such as Peach/Marth)
I'm not sure if I remember this right, but I think it was even stated that Magus doesn't even know everything about Yoshi.. that's scary (if true) Magus like knows it all... Yoshi has so much potential... I mean we've yet to even see, "parrying" at the top level used consistently, and hopefully all of the Yoshi players can unite, and show Yoshi to the world and stuff.
I just feel, there's not enough, I don't wanna say unexplored, potential, but I feel as if there's so much that Yoshi can benefit off of, from his unique shield(s), parrying, and just the way he's played... I've demonstrated some of the potential, against some of AZ's best players (mostly vs Axe's Pika/Falco) but Taj, GG7, and am only getting better.. HOpefully time will tell, and I can be successful.. I mean I'd want to.. (I did like Mewtwo Taj) <3
but yeah, it's just I think so much more for him can be done <3
