The Official Yoshi FAQ/Q&A Thread -- [Please look here before posting!]

[Sharky]

I will guarantee you now that name searching for Will will not bring up very many results that will have much to do with Will.

Or will it?

 

[RaptorTEC]

Will you just be quiet?

 

[~Firefly~]

But does Will have the Will of Fire?

 

[Delta-cod]

Will the Will of Fire really help provide people with the Will to Win?

Will getting a new pair of Nike shoes keep my feet warmer in the winter? Will they give my Yoshi enhanced power?

 

[Nikes]

They Will

What are the things a fast-paced Yoshi should do?

 

[Nikes]

I always try to play as fast as I can, a couple things I do to accomplish such are running SH Nair>Jabs and DJC egg lays. And keep moving~
I'm actually looking for pointers in this area too, so any input from other Yoshis would be great for both of us I'm sure.

 

[Delta-cod]

Well, don't look at me.

I recommend plenty of usage of Egg Lay tricks, at least. Also, work on your jab cancels. Being able to cancel jab 1 on people's shields is super good because it reduces their window for punishment and lets you continue pressure strings.

 

[Deleted member 189823]

I always find my Jab 1 to Jab 1 attempts to get punish with shieldgrabs. Does it only work on high percents?

 

[Delta-cod]

Don't Jab1 > Jab1. Do stuff like Jab 1 > Pivot Grab, or Jab 1 > Bair, or something. Repeated jabs on shield aren't very safe.

 

[Deleted member 189823]

Sorry, playing too much Boozer with Jab Cancelling does that to you.

 

[Nikes]

Has anyone discovered any new Yoshi stuff by any chance? I wanna mix something new into my game.

And a question about DR; Which one makes you sink into the ground more, Bair or Fair? I use (attempt to anyway) the X,X,A method for DR and I can get it half the time, but it needs to be consistent so I wanna know which is more reliable.

 

[Scatz]

Doesn't matter what attack you use. What matters is what frame(s) you input the buttons on.

You have 6 frames to input jump, jump, attack.

You do it that way and you won't technically leave the ground.

If you input the 2nd jump & attack on frames 8-9, the. You'll get 1 frame of heavy armor before landing back on the ground. Someone else can go into detail. Typing on a phone sucks lol.

 

[Mr. game and watch]

If you crawl backwards to the ledge, and roll the stick up to the top and immediately hit B.
You'll pop onto the ledge. Don't acceding lay down B tho you'll reverse and die.

Oh, and if you aim the egg right, you can throw it while falling to the ledge while doing this.

 

[Nikes]

Scatz: Thanks a lot for the info Now...how are you supposed to time your input on a specific frame though?0_o

Mr G&W: Heheh that's really neat, cheers! I'm already using it effectively in my game

 

[Z'zgashi]

You can also just run off the ledge with an up b to get to the ledge. If you run towards the ledge, then do an up while running right before you go over the edge, youll do a grounded egg toss, so you wont hop, then slide off the ledge and autosnap the ledge.

 

[Nikes]

Seems like that could be epic for edge guarding o_o Can you throw the egg in any direction or just a short toss upwards?

 

[Z'zgashi]

Any direction, just like a normal egg toss, you can turn and throw it behind you as you go over the ledge too

 

[Mr. game and watch]

The crawling one looks funnier tho

 

[Z'zgashi]

The egg toss slide is more usefull though

 

[Delta-cod]

Scatz: Thanks a lot for the info Now...how are you supposed to time your input on a specific frame though?0_o

Mr G&W: Heheh that's really neat, cheers! I'm already using it effectively in my game

Just practice. If you play with the GCC, you can set your controls up as:

Y = Jump
B = Jump
Cstick = Attack
X = Special.

With this, you can slide your thumb from Y, across B, into the C-stick, and get DR to come out. Just practice the timing/motion for it. It should be pretty easy if you put enough work into it.

 

[Scatz]

Don't need to change Cstick controls. Smash works since it does aerials too.

 

[Delta-cod]

Ah, I didn't mean to imply a change in C-stick controls. I just wanted to say that having C-stick as any A button function is necessary.

 

[MX778]

If you play with Tap jump on, there is another way to do the DR.
It's Tjump-X-A

Instead of pressing 3 different inputs at different times, after the Tjump, you'll be pressing X-A at the same time with your right thumb. You just have to get used to the time frame between the Tjump on the analog stick and the X-A. This way, it'll feel like you're only pressing 2 buttons instead of 3.

 

[Delta-cod]

You can also Y-Y-A. I've done it while trying to Jump > DJ Nair during sets where I'm super hyped up and jittery, and I end up pushing all the buttons too fast.

 

[RaptorTEC]

Or you can do it the Raptor way and only do it when it doesn't matter.

 

[~Firefly~]

I'm pretty sure you're not the only person who does that. =p

 

[Mr. game and watch]

Isn't that every Yoshi?





Technically you can do it by jumping once with the dpad, jumping the second time with B and attacking with L, it'd just be hard.

I always used R(set to jump even now with MK)XA

 

[RaptorTEC]

What I was trying to get at is that I dont DR properly xD

 

[~Firefly~]

I know. My statement stands~

 

[Z'zgashi]

Raptor, you should learn how.

 

[RaptorTEC]

It's hard on wiichuck.

 

[Z'zgashi]

It's hard on wiichuck.

Not as hard as you'll be if you can do it consistently.

 

[RaptorTEC]

That's sig status right there...

 

[MX778]

If I can do it with tap jump, you can do it too.

 

[Scatz]

Stop punking out, any maybe you'll actually get it.

 

[Delta-cod]

^ the truth.

Real talk, I only don't do it because I'm a lazy little ***** who doesn't want to practice.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I can do DR. Just never done it 1 out of 100 times I try where it gave me something good out of it.

 

[Sharky]

I used to DR when I practiced this game. Nowadays I PR in pushups/situps/pullups/running/swimming instead =P

 

[Z'zgashi]

^ the truth.

Real talk, I only don't do it because I'm a lazy little ***** who doesn't want to practice.

So you dont want to practice, but you can play through allstar mode on intense hundreds of times?
