Hi guys. I come by super infrequently nowadays and most of you prolly dont know me (except Scatz <3) but I figured i'd share thoughts on the patch:
Egg Roll nerf is fine. You just have to be more sparing about when you use a rising aerial when recovering. Still way better than melee. EDIT: Actually I havent used it. But if I understand correctly, its just bad after you use it once right?
Pivot grab nerf really really sucks. It basically means anyone who brought their brawl yoshi skills to PM can no longer do that stuff and get away with it because pivot grab is no loner a neutral game option. People will have to tech up and get proficient at double jumping through other characters neutral games and using nair like people do in Melee instead of pivot grabbing people out of poorly spaced aerial neutral. I think yoshi was low key OP before this change even though no one had combined the insane melee tech with the skillful brawl style pivot grabbing in a way that would make him that good.
Basically, everyone is going to have to get good at using DJC and RDJC in neutral to counter opposing neutral, get good at DJC uair chains as hamyojo said, and get good at shield dropping and comboing off of that. I think most of the good PM yoshi got by without doing some of this stuff at effectively as necessary, and I guess its fair that to do well with this character you should have to use the tech. Also I was starting to feel bad beating players with such better tech than me because pivot grab punishes were so free.
To the lab!
