Parry Help!!

[HamboyUK]

I'm entering a tournament soon and I need to get Yoshi parries down. Is there anyway to practice them by myself? (My friends live miles away)

Also, the technique behind it: do you immediately jump/ up smash/ grab after activating shield when being hit?

Thanks :D

Parrying is mostly dependent on your ability to read your opponent. However, you can practice a little on your own using Red Shells in Training Mode.

In short, you need to jump within the first 5 frames of your "getting into shield" animation as Yoshi is invincible. You also have access to other OOS options like U-smash.

I suggest reading this thread thoroughly, specifically the "Parrying and other Shield Mechanics" section: http://smashboards.com/threads/some-yoshi-information.351635/

You're welcome, and good luck in the tournament!

just try press l and jump alot, it helps.
And try duck before doing it, it can help on some moves (but not peach)
