Platform Drop while shielding - Finally! OoS Options for Yoshi

[Depster]

Everyone just hates Yoshi

 

[SOVAman]

No one tells us ish anymore

Everyone just hates Yoshi

No one plays yoshi that's all

go lurk some boards and maybe you would of found this, other people don't come here cuz the Yoshi boards don't even exist like Lucas boards

 

[Shiri]

I mean.

Nevermind.

 

[SOVAman]

I mean.

Nevermind.

loooooooool

 

[indigestible_wad]

We have roll oos. That makes five. And it's the best one.

better than platform drop? :D especially on a platform?

 

[indigestible_wad]

Oh yes. Yoshi's roll is the best in the game.

 

[Z'zgashi]

I always thought lucario's roll was the best... >.>

 

[JackieRabbit5]

great discovery!

 

[Z'zgashi]

I always thought lucario's roll was the best... >.>

Now that I think about it samus probably has the best roll *wink*

 

[Poltergust]

Yoshi's roll is only good when you get hit by something, so you roll farther. >_>

Man, I wish people told me about this. Now I'm no longer completely defenseless when I'm shielding on a platform! I always hated how people would wait for me to spotdodge or something, because no matter what I did I would get hit regardless.

Incidentally, did you guys know that Yoshi's shield isn't completely unpokable? I haven't been here in a while, so...

 

[Silent Beast]

Pokable in what sense?

 

[Poltergust]

As in... if we are shielding on a platform (which, thanks to this, should happen less often now), then a character below us with an acute upwards hitbox (say, Meta Knight's u-tilt) can actually poke through our shield.

It's crazy. I was absolutely furious when I found this out.

 

[Shiri]

Videos or it never happened.

 

[Poltergust]

I can't do it by myself. >_>

Look, just ask a friend to hit you like that and you'll see.

 

[CelestialMarauder~]

Sakurai needs a good beating if this is true

 

[indigestible_wad]

If this isn't true he still needs a beating.

 

[Z'zgashi]

i hate mk even more now

 

[Poltergust]

It's not just MK. Diddy's u-tilt and Falco's u-tilt can also do it. There are most likely some others that can do it, too.

 

[Delta-cod]

Shielding on a platform is still pretty horrible. All someone has to do is wait for you to do something and you get hit. Of course, this makes it better.

 

[indigestible_wad]

I just had a rob get me through my shield with an upair. It happens.

 

[Z'zgashi]

Can snakes utilt get us here, i would test it but im too lazy

You're right. Samus' uair occasionally pokes through Yoshi's shield, but only when I'm below, not from the sides.

 

[Poltergust]

I'm pretty sure it can't. The hitbox is way too big to poke through it. It needs to be a sharp hitbox.

You're right. Samus' uair occasionally pokes through Yoshi's shield, but only when I'm below, not from the sides.

Like I said, this only happens when we are on platforms.

 

[Z1GMA]

This is great for Yoshi.
However, some Samus Main found this months ago.

 

[Sharky]

you're a little late for that =/

 

[CelestialMarauder~]

So a Samus main found something only used on Yoshi and didn't tell the Yoshi boards?

 

[Airborne]

I still don't see this possible, unless we slide off the platform.

 

[Yikarur]

what do you mean? o.o

 

[Airborne]

what do you mean? o.o

When we are shielding an attack, we will move. If we are on a platform and move off the edge of the platform, we will go into that tumbling state (not freefall). If we are being hit by a multi-hitting move in the middle of this we can be "poked" in a way.

That is why I spam the sh*t out of jump while I am near the edge of a platform, and am shielding.

 

[Yikarur]

ahhh you was talking about shield poking? I got you wrong because the last post about it was on another page D:
but btw we don't tumble if we release the shield button before the shield slides off the platform.

 

[Sharky]

you also don't tumble if you are facing the ledge you fall off of

 

[Yikarur]

you also don't tumble if you are facing the ledge you fall off of

you still tumble if you fall of the ledge this way while you hold the shield button.

 

[Airborne]

regardless, we get hit by multi-hitting moves that knock us off of said platform, which is the only way I see us getting "shield poked"

 

[Poltergust]

Yeah, but when my shield got poked from below I was sitting still in the middle of the platform...

 

[Depster]

It happens Air. Really rare, but it happens.

 

[Poltergust]

Actually, I got shield-poked three times recently. Twice with Meta Knight's Shuttle Loop on the edge of the stage and once with DK's d-smash. Ouch... =/

So yeah, apparently we can get shield-poked if we shield right next to the ledge, too. Fantastic.

 

[Shiri]

GET A CLIP UP DAWG

do you use gamecube controller?
it could also happen in the start-up of a roll/dodge/whatever without noticing it.
it feels ****ty to get hit while inside a egg so thats my main explanation most of the time.
Another explanation is a wiimote problem that only people like me have x(

 

[Poltergust]

No, I would know if I got hit out of those moves. I was definitely standing still.
