You got to be kidding me
saying his recovery is awful

He has heavy armor in his 2nd jump
but be aware you should not even waste that

we recover while egg bombing
or with a Uair
or hell sometimes with nair
and you can recover while air dodging which helps a lot

Yoshi's recovery is win
not awful

like awful as in, its just a jump because he has no up-b recovery, i use up-b more as to hover down

1. Double Jump
2. Airdodge when near threat
3. ???
4. Profit!

His Recovery is far from awful, it just needs understanding how it works and how to use it so that you don't stupidly kill yourself trying to

If I understand you correctly, you're double jumping, and then egg tossing, right?

You want to remember that you can egg toss before double jumping. Use the aerial momentum and egg tosses to get closer to the stage, and then double jump (and air dodge, if necessary) to make it back. There are times you don't even need the double jump to get back.

Try to recover from really high or really low. When recovering from low on the stage notice that your DJ doesnt autocancel on the ledge, except at the very beginning, to account for this, cancel your DJ with an egg-toss to autocancel onto the ledge.

When recovering high make sure to vary your game so you dont get smashed on the way down. Maybe Yoshi bomb onto the ledge one time, land behind them the next etc.

That is the best part if Yoshi's recovery, people on stage have a tough time getting to the point where he lands since he is so fast. :)

Good luck with your Yoshi :D
