Okay this thread is to discuss how we are going to revamp our already existing guide. Adding and updating info is what we should be the most into fixing. Also how it looks, as of now it isn't to appealing and its a little disorganized. This thread is to discuss our changes to it and updates.

first off we need a key to organize the information in a more appealing and organized way. Then we can add to the offense and defensive guides and add some vital information.

Also we need an egg lay guide. There are far to many people coming in here asking about it and a guide would help out a lot. i am thinking someone that is extremely knowledgeable about the egg lay should write that maybe meta or chaco. We also need to update the attack descriptions a little to keep up with the meta game. Maybe add to it how useful a specific way. OR how situational the move is. We also should add to the egg toss section as well, just a little because it already says a lot.

------------------------------------------------------

For the key it should look something like

I. Offense
II. Defense
III. attack description
IV. CG and release guide
V. DR guide
VI. getting to know your Yoshi
VII. egg toss
VIII. edge game
IX. Egg lay

(note the key is in no specific order just an example)


We can also space out the guides better so they look to be clearly separate. And maybe center the titles and add some color to them.


---------------------------------------------------------


For the attack descriptions we need some sort of system to keep it organized

example:

jab: neutral A
damage: 3-6 (9), 3-5, 3-5, 3-5, 2-5, 3-4
Usefulness: (like very usful, situational, usful, not usful, etc.)
Description: 9 just a short description on how the move works)
frames: if possible (no made up frames pl0x)


and continues on and on til we have all move completed. Maybe a smash, aerial, tilts and jabs sections


--------------------------------------------------

Sign-Up list:

offense --
defense -- bwett (original guide) auroreon
attack description -- Poltergust
CG and release -- lil b
DR -- Bigman
egg toss-- metatitan
egg lay -- metatitan
edge game -- yoshinators guide originally would someone like to add something
getting to know your Yoshi -- maybe a little more can be added to this
Editing the tread -- Shiri and yoshinator you guys can take the updates form this thread and ideas and edit them in. WE NEED SOME ORGANIZATION

There can be multiple people writing and adding to a section so if you know a lot about a specific topic go ahead and help out. AND if there is something you feel should be added post up.

that is about it for now I would like all the usual posters to contribute!!!!!

Add in an egg lay section as well, it's as important as egg toss. Anyways with that, I'll do egg toss and egg lay.

good stuff meta post up when ever you are done

and trusted yoshi mains are all welcome to add to any of the guides it just needs to get approved when you are done by a majority and the original writer of the guide

I guess I'll take up the tedious task of doing attack descriptions, but I'll need two things:

-Scatz's frame data list. I can't seem to find it for some reason... :dizzy:
-Someone to capture a clear picture of the move. I have terrible quality on my camera so I can't do it.

I'll also be basing a move's usefulness off of Metatitan's moveset thread.

For attack descriptions just simply state what yoshi does (like slams you with his nose or w/e) and give them a link to my moveset summaries.

No, it encompasses all of this:

jab: neutral A
damage: 3-6 (9), 3-5, 3-5, 3-5, 2-5, 3-4
Usefulness: (like very usful, situational, usful, not usful, etc.)
Description: 9 just a short description on how the move works)
frames: if possible (no made up frames pl0x)
So, I need to know the frame data, and I believe it's best if I state the usefulness for each individual move in the description so that people don't have to constantly switch between the two threads to get all of the info.

Yes I would like it to have it usefulness AND description.


Its nice to have your thread but basically every piece of useful information from each tread should be added to the guide. As a central database of all guides and useful information.

go ahead and work on that polt

:yoshi: Someone give me a nudge if you need me to update anything and Yoshinator's not around.

I will try to focus on this thread a bit, but I can't really contribute to this yet right now. D:

I can deffinatly contribute to the defensive area and will do a section on egde game. I'm probably going to just write and post sections about various different things as I feel like writing them. Then it can be up to you if and how you want to use them in the guide.

Also, I just want to add that its important that we all write in an appropriate way. What I mean by that is when writing we have to be writing from a completely neutral standpoint without any bias. So best to just keep oppinions out.

Why don't one of you upload the draft to google docs and then everybody can work on it together at the same time

Guys, don't worry so much about assigning specific roles to stick to. At the end of the day it doesn't matter who does this stuff as long as it is done well. So feel free to contribute in whatever way you feel that you competently can.

Hopefully we will. Gettting to Know your Yoshi comes first. Or an intro.

Still working on it. I've been really busy with my duties at AiB and such. I'm about half-way done, but I'm not sure how I'll be able to properly test the decay values for a move. What I've been doing is making a 10-stock match (because there are decay levels 0-9), and after hitting my opponent with the move I have him suicide. It's been tedious, to say the least. :dizzy:

And soon I'll be going on vacation until Sunday. I'll still have my computer, but I'm not sure if I can bring my Wii, so testing will come to a halt until I come back.
