Well I'm not exactly the yoshi expert on here. I'll give you a 6. I'll say that you get great with the aerial headbutts, but I'll also suggest that you use the egg throw move a little when your target is above you. Don't over use it though. also try to grab to get some extra damage on your opponents., Prefer the Pivot grab. Also try swtitching configuring your L-button to a jump button. That should allow you to preform lighter jumps and easily do more advanced techinques.

Use your weaker moves more than your smash moves so that your smash moves stay fresh. Plus acknowledge your distance, Your standing way too close to Mario at times.

That's all I can say. Once again, I'm not a Yoshi expert. I'm good with him, but I'm still learning. I'm just getting use to L-jumping. Use the sticky topics at the top to help you with more info.

thanks for all the help but im afraid i can not configure L for jump. I already configured it for My peach as attack.

Ohh, well I would say use another profile, but that's too much if your using more characters. So just try to get accustom to the settings your use too. And No prob.

downtilt instead of downsmash in a lot of instances would have helped you play quicker.

good sir, the only thing that will advance your yoshi game (besides the unluck spotdodges : ( ) is egg tosses and pivot grabs. also, bair is a great approach (yoshi's best), but it became predictable.

short egg tosses followed up by grabs (or anything really) are a good. ETS (egg toss slide) helps with getting the right spacing for eggs. egg tosses are invaluable, because those things are f'ing frustrating, and projectiles always make people approach you differently (and generally in brawl, you want people approaching you). even if they dodge your egg toss, go immediately after them (if close enough) with something, dash attack/fsmash/jab/running usmash is what i use. if they don't dodge it, run in and grab, then "do yo thang". egg tosses are clutch for me.

pivot grabs (more grabs in general). people HATE yoshi's tongue. be careful to not get into the habit of grabbing too much, yoshi can get punished on his grab lag. grabs really help you control the flow of the match, especially the cg's (check the yoshi guide sticky).

you have a great yoshi, just learn ETS (egg tosses in general, they're great damage and they start combos for me) and grabs. and watch out for mario's bair, nair, and fsmash!

the yoshnater's thread "How to Hatch a Healthy Yoshi" has been invalueable for learning how to up my game with Yoshi, so I suggest that you check it out to learn ETS, pivot grabs, just about everything that concerns Yoshi.

Anyway, you're doing good, have fun and keep practicing!
