A lot of ppl (mostly friends) keep laughing at me because i use low tier character, yoshi. I keep telling them that i use yoshi because yoshi is my favoriate character in mario theries. No matter how crappy yoshi is, i keep telling them i am going to use it.

They keep saying yoshi sucks in general, not only ssbb -_-...

I also beat all of my friends with yoshi in every game so.. this is getting on my nerve.

why ppl saying yoshi sucks even though i beat them with it?

first of all, welcome to the boards :D

as for the whole yoshi issue i used to think yoshi sucked as well till i went to a tournament and almost lost to two yoshi players. Prolly the only yoshi players in the state but still, theres potential to him. still is low tier due to his recovery but hes good at comboing if you know how to use him.

dont worry too much about what your friends say. whatever you do, dont play metaknight. lol

Yoshi certainly isn't as good as most other characters, that is true. However, he certainly isn't as bad as everyone thinks he is. Just use him and own. Prove your character viability. When I started Yoshi as a main, all I wanted was to prove the viability of Yoshi.

So screw your friends. 3 stock them and then if they still say Yoshi sucks, then ask them how much must they suck to lose to a sucky character :)

before brawl i would never even look at yoshi in SSB game. he had no recovery and weird moves....

then i decided to use him as a joke in friendly. next thing i know i'm killing all of my friend's mains. so, now yoshi is a welcome member to my lineup. if your friends say yoshi sucks then they're just dip ****s.

There's not even anything wrong with his Recovery. Once you get used to it, you shouldn't get hit out of it at all the majority of the time

:yoshi: It's true; people will just think what they want. I wouldn't get too bent out of shape about it.

I remember one very clear summer day earlier this year, I was playing with someone (just can't remember who it is--maybe it was PikaPika!, I'm not sure) and they were clamoring about how Yoshi sucks. I like to humor people (a.k.a. not give them the satisfaction), so I was laughing along with them as we were playing Brawl and whoever it was said something really cute/scathing, so I started laughing real loud and somewhat obnoxiously, proceeded to 40% combo into spike off of Lylat (I think?) and then started laughing for real while I pointed and jeered.

I don't know where I was going with that. I just thought it was funny.

Once you start owning more with Yoshi your friends start give the respect to him as well. Don't get me wrong they still don't use Yoshi but they see him as a legitimate threat now. Well also not mention I beat them senseless with Yoshi.

Best thing I've done with Yoshi was recover from a 3-1 pikachu.

He got the first two lives, then something snapped. I didn't even realize what my fingers were doing, but pika left the next 3 times. Last one was funny cause he got footstool spiked at 20%.

Then you have every single marth match I've ever done. Those were beautiful games.

*adds another "why do people say yoshi sucks?" thread to his tally*

hmm, I'm gonna need another sheet of paper to mark all of these, soon. >_>

Seriously, how many of these threads have we had? Bah.

Since you're new to the boards, I forgive you. I still don't like allllll of these threads, though. >___>

Yoshi has always been underated. If you want to win, you can use Yoshi, but if you really want to win, like get 1st-4th in tourneys, then you'll need a higher tiered second character, just for those ugly match-ups Yoshi has, I don't play Yoshi though. You don't have to ditch Yoshi at all, but IMO more people will praise Yoshi when they see him in the finals, than just a Yoshi main that doesn't win.

Yoshi main's should consider a secondary higher tiered character, like MK, because you'll be praised more when they see a Yoshi in the finals!^_^

Just another day.
Never.....Never will I play MK to get me somewhere. Yoshi can easily get me there, even through the hard matchups, it's not like some of the other matchups >_>

This is false. You dont need a higher tiered character to get 1st-4th in tournies.

he is a good MK counter probably the best or maybe it's another MK but at the same time he's not that spectacular

I'm not saying you need a higher tiered character to win, just a character higher than Yoshi would give you a better chance of winning, unless your an amazing player that it won't really matter.:chuckle: If someone saw any Yoshi in the top 4 or finals it would bring more attention to Yoshi, than getting a 17th w/Yoshi:(

I'm just saying that adding a proved tournament winning character to your roster would increase the chances of Yoshi getting noticed. ;)

Yes, yes. We hear it all the time. It doesn't really matter though. If you do good with yoshi, then the people who say this will have nothing on yoshi. Simple.

If you said you beat them in every game with Yoshi, maybe its jealousy! =P

Seriously though, who cares what other people think? two of my mains are bottom tier, but I really don't give a crap so long as I'm good and own people with them thats all that matters. There are always gonna be people out there who will insult you for using a specific character.

*tries selecting Meta Knight*

Random Smasher: You iz n00b. You pick broken character.

*tries selecting Captain Falcon*

Random Smasher: lol bottom tier.

See what I mean? Just keep on smashing and just ignore it. People who insult you for using a specific character probly don't win that much anyways XP

Exactly. They are probably jealous and ignorance prevents them seeing Yoshi's potential

When I went to that gamestation tournament on the day after I got brawl, there were 2 people saying that Yoshi sucks. You know what happened? they didnt even make it through the first round. What happened to me? I got to the semis (too bad the tourney was timer matches and had FFAs -_-) and not only I impressed them 2 who said Yoshi sucks but even European brawlers who imported and I only had Brawl for only one day at that time.

Just ignore them or/and keep owning them. Either/both way(s), you would be superior.

I'm making my friends despise Yoshi as much as Meta Knight. Should I be proud of myself? =P

I used to like yoshi aswell but lately im hating him. its just the character himself, yoshi basicly. anyhow, this prolly applies to anyone and any character.

Its not your concern if you should play this character or not. Its not about playing this character for anyone else than yourself. If you want to play yoshi you do it for whatever reason. And if someone tells you you suck or better said your character sucks prove them wrong or you just do

Well in SSBM i thought yoshi owned, mainly because all his attacks dealt plenty of damage, as well as decent knockback. Altho in SSBB they definetly nerfed him to a degree, they may have increased his speed a bit but his attacks are far weaker.

You seem to be missing the part where hes playable now, even if you're trying to win
Im not saying that he isn't a playable character, i was just making a reference to the difference between his effectiveness in SSBM and in SSBB. I still play him despite my views on his'nerfing' but not for serious/tournemant matches.
