Hey guys; haven't posted much because I haven't been recording anything as of late. However, I won another tourney yesterday and my roommate recorded the final match without my knowing. About the tourney, I did upload the results to the tournament thread (whoots, Yoshi has 2 wins now). Regardless, the first like 10-15 seconds of it are cut off and my opponent's head is in the way of his damage for most of it but you can see what happens at least. I'll be uploading that later today after we can get the video off his camera an onto Youtube. My opponent and I made a lot of mistakes in the match so I don't doubt it'll get slammed by critiques if you guys actually watch it. My final opponent played Snake/Meta Knight against me. It was best 3/5 and I won the first, he won the next 2, I won the 4th, and then I won the last one. He was Snake for the first 4 and switched to MK for the last one. Anyway, enough talking, I'll upload it whenever I get it on Youtube later today so be on the lookout for it.

Don't worry big, soon we shall play and record roughly 30 friendlies for the world to see...I'll probably lose lol
lol You know I'll be all over that deal. Although, after about half of them and a tourney, I'll probably be soo out of it that I'll be SDing myself from lack of mental awareness XD

I nominate Scatz's fight against Musa(Marth) for the hall of fame.

Reason: Marth is a complete ***** for a Yoshi to fight. He outranges us and has better priority, but Scatz manages to find a hole in nearly every attack Marth makes. Couple that with him using every move in Yoshi's arsenal and you have a great video.

Seconded, probably Scatz best vid and IMO the best vid of Yoshi out thre.

Edit: I nominate for the exact same reason stated by Bwett.

I second the nomination not so much for him playing the mediocre marth, but more so completely because of the flow of his moves and how natural his style is in the vid.

Heh, thx guys. Honestly, I didn't feel like I played that match well (I was getting mentally tired when playing it). I kept thinking about how a player that knew the ins and outs to his character (and mine) would've countered my attempts.

Oh, no doubt, you would've been ***** hard if you used that strategy against a marth that knew what he was doing. However, once again, your prowess in the match-up is not the reason why i seconded the nomination, but rather, your prowess of character control.

lol. It seems like that's the best I can push out in my videos, "My prowess of character control". It seems to be the only thing I do everytime I play imo.

Until you have good competition on a regular basis, thats all you can really hope for. Matchups come with large amount of playtime and experience versus good people using those characters

i shall agree with both lil_b and bwett; it was almost like watching myself play! XD
but yeah, i'm guessing those were wifi matches because you did dash attacks without getting punished at all... or they were just too far away; try to limit yourself on doing those because it will hurt in the long run when you're doing offline matches in a tournament. otherwise, make the kills more diverse next time, but it was a great combo video! <3 HD

I love dash attack........




Oh and I that vid of the second match between Scatz and the marth (the one on FD), it gets my vote.


With that said, Scatz, come to Florida Gaming.....

Hey Yoshi mains, I just thought I'd drop in and give you guys a present.

I'm studying abroad in Japan right now. I live in Nagoya and I play with the smashers here regularly. The best Yoshi in Japan lives here and I took some videos of me and other players in the area playing him. His name is Calamity (karamiti in katakana).

The videos are on my youtube youtube.com/kelinjapan

Remember, they're just friendlies, so it's nothing big, but I figured you guys would still be interested in seeing them. Remember that they don't play for money anyway over here, so video is the second best thing to tournaments.

Enjoy.

I hate how he is using DJC eggs on the ledge...so dangerous lol, but besides that, his yoshi is pretty good. It looks more like he is playing a melee yoshi in brawl =P

Btw, Kel, for someone that used to hate brawl, you sure have progressed in the game. Your DDD is pretty fast. Have you been practising lately?

Hmm, I like Karamity's style. It's pretty basic. Something that I lack tbh, my basic game is horrid. I try to overcompensate for that with tech skill. I think I need to cut a bunch of that until i fix my basic gameplay. I like his usage of different moves. But honestly, I really dislike his under use of grab.

lol, I went back and forth for a while. I wanted to play Melee again for a while, but after a couple weeks of just playing melee I appreciated Brawl more. I've been playing Brawl in tournaments since it came out though.

I don't actually play Dedede really. I'm a metaknight main. I just use him over here because he's a lot better with their stage list and stuff. And I actually haven't been practicing much. I didn't get to play Brawl for over a month and now I've played twice- both time on the last two saturdays. I'm a little rusty, but it's not too bad.

Very impressive Yoshi Slice, its wonderful to finally see a Yoshi DRing in matches, keep up the good work and implementing it into you game, other Yoshis could learn from that.
Generally good spacing and not very predictable.
Dair served you well against ROB and Im really glad to see another Yoshi utilizing it, but remember that its a dangerour move and whilst it payed off this time, you may want to tone it down a bit as other players will be far less vunerable to it and will punish it, but you did use it very nicely, you really have the move down great.
I really like your style of play, its difficult to predict and you make very nice use of moves.
My only real complaint with your Yoshi is that you are too agrresive, you need to incorperate more defence into your game rather than charging straight in. You are right to stay in ROBs face all the time to counter his campy style, thats deffinatly the way to deal with ROB. But you should try to play a bit more defensive and avoid always going on the offensive and getting hit for it. Roll IMO isn't a good way to avoid for Yoshi, you would deffnatly benefit from more countering and punishing their advances using SHAD and spotdodge more.
One more little piece of advice, you should try egg lay once in a while, DJC egg lay can be a really great little trick sometimes, give it a go =).

Altogether I love your Yoshi, Im so happy to see another Yoshi making use of the DR, a shining example to other Yoshis. Your Yoshi flows very well and you make great inventive use of most of Yoshis moveset, just try to build a bit more in the way of defence.
Keep up the great work, excellent vids.
