Hey y'all. i main olimar, and i was practicing against yoshi the other day b/c everyone says it should be a hard matchup for olimar:urg:. i decided to use yoshi against a computer olimar for training purposes. Anyways, I might have found a cool, semi-useful tech for yoshi! forgive me if this isn't new(i searched, but found nothing)

What you do is run towards an edge, and once you reach the edge, you egg throw behind you. DI towards the edge immediately after, and you'll grab the edge. An egg will be thrown and you'll be hanging. that's it. It's only a little slower than hugging, if any slower, and it allows you to throw your projectile while doing so. If done right, it'll do the hugging animation and egg will be thrown.

purpose-idk, but maybe y'all will find one(or maybe you have already found one) I was thinking it could be used for something like this: they're next to you. you're both by the edge. You run off doing the egg throw hog(ETH) and you'll be invincible while throwing an egg. They might get hit and you'll be safe.(for the mean while at least) Is that cool or what? It can be used during any frame of your dash unlike hugging,(correct me if i'm wrong. I think hugging is frame specific. if you dash into the edge you can't hug?)

so...do people use ETS to grab the edge like i suggested? just wondering. I'm putting more emphasis on the edge-grabbing-invicibility part. not so much the sliding. i knew ETS had some kinda name for it.
