just watched the diddy one. I'm extremely upset with your edgeguarding first stock >:O

edit: on another note, watching vids recently is really making me think about how dumb double jabbing is for the most part =P

Yeah, I didn't really know what I was doing there. Not much experience with the MU. >.> Anything more specific on what I should be changing? I wondered if I should start falling at him with a Nair when he was charging his barrels below me, but I kept second guessing myself, so I didn't do it even when I got another opportunity later. I also probably should've grab released him offstage instead of Fthrowing, but I really don't know how I'd go about covering his options there, so I just went for the 7% instead. >.<

A bunch of my pools matches from my last monthly got uploaded. ^.^

vs. Sinister (Falcon/Wolf)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6skXC3MgqE&feature=channel_video_title
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDmGDAXsEBQ&feature=channel_video_title

vs. Sushi (Diddy)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCl-DLT4uiQ&feature=channel_video_title
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qo1EDGYmn3Y&feature=relmfu

These matches were mislabeled; the first video was game 1 and the second was game 2. On game 3, I took him to RC and won.

vs. Big D (Snake)

Last hit situations against Snake are frigging scary. =[

Let me know if you see anything you want to yell at me for. =P

Y u so frakin predictable with spotdodges vs snake. Or in general.
You are like awesome and pull off these great strings and then u just like predictably spotdodge, instead of mixing up spotdodges rolls and simple letting go of shield. So snake punishes you for 50 damage. You are way better than that snake you should be crapping on him on FD easily, not scraping by last hit on a read. You make lots of careless errors with nades as well.

Throw more eggs vs a nading snake and figure out how to do it without blowing yourself up. ECE more. Etc

I really like your use of dash attack its hilarious lol i could never use that move well. I think you should mix it up with run foward spotdodge. Your juggles and edgeguards are all very good as im sure you know, and your jab mixups are getting good too.

Thanks Stocky! I've been aware of my stupid spotdodge habit for ages, but I can't seem to shake it off. IDK why, but no matter how much I tell myself to stop doing it, I still default to spamming them like it's some kind of auto-win tactic. >.> I might be going to a smashfest tomorrow, so maybe I'll make a custom tag to tell myself not to spotdodge or something...

P.S. - I died laughing at your sig BTW. No idea why...

Haha i mean a spotdodge habit comes naturally with yoshi, but its worth getting rid of :p

Doc King is the most terrible/hilarious poster on swf, i suggest you lurk the tier list threads and discover doc king for yourself =D

Yeah, I feel like I've been stuck on a plateau lately. My mindset is pretty bad most of the time now, and it's leading me to fall into dumb habits far more often than I should. Getting rid of my mindless spotdodges would probably be a really good step towards breaking that plateau, but the fact that that particular habit has been persistent for years now is kind of intimidating. :urg: I'm also feeling pressured by the fact that Apex is only a month away, and I'd really like to be playing my best there, seeing how it could be my only chance to attend an international...

I'll keep my eyes open for some more of those posts. ;)

Simply put it, the way you played from :30 to 1:21 in the Snake match 2 was how you should've been playing. You need to learn to throw the nades back if he didn't strip them and other stuff (no time to explain it). Still gonna **** a brick on you.

Edit: Also, stop forgetting DownB as a kill move.

Stop using it when they expect it and its hard to punish (unless their name is MK)

Hey, off topic a bit, but do any of you know of a match where Yoshi has Air Released a Puff and uair'd her afterwards? If not, imma make a vid to humor Doc King's nonsense about needing video proof, but if you guys have a vid that would be a lot easier lol.

I heard about that before but I'm not sure that's true, I have tested that a bit a few months ago (I understand your question is that, sorry if that's not). It can probably jump before the Uair works. But again not completely sure about that.

I was wondering also, is CG on Falco completely true when having a really good timing ? I noticed that in some posts here if I remember well, as for me I have to mindgame if he spotdodges or not to continue grabbing him. So can Yoshi truely CG him ? If yes that should help me a lot for that difficult MU =)

Should post some recent videos soon also, I've change a bit since my last ones, so I prefer showing you others. Hope they will come soon, I need critics :o

GR > Uair is guaranteed on Jiggs, we have a 20 frame window to jump and uair, it's not that difficult at all.

And we do have a CG on Falco, but we have to buffer it within 3 frames and grab him during his landing lag.

It's not a 20 frame "window", you have that much time to complete the entire action, not that much leeway to complete the action.

Delta youve gotten really good.
but wtf
halberd.
u fkcing suck
<3
that was an unfortunate gimp. You gave up too early i think, rushed it a bit. I would go for more grab gimps on the side b in general, you coulda had one on fd i think.

You need to use yourshield a lot more at kill percents me thinks. Your goal is to rack up as much damage as possible without dieing when u are really high, so you shouldnt be so eager to be in upsmash range. Im referencing the first match btw, u died too early when really he didnt deserve the usmash. Falco cant really kill u when ur shielding, just grab, so you might as well hope they usmash and then shield grab or something. When you are too aggressive at kill percents you give up a big advantage on falco.

Vs RB...mad props on the egg roll. Never seen so much so epicly haha. I cant really give much advice, i think you should have baited stuff a bit more especially when he was spamming fsmash. Maybe just some SH bairs in place out of its range would have been nice, to see if he would go for something.
I liked how you carried the momentum a lot. A LOT.
Your playing real good tho, props.

Im not really flashy at all but I have my random flashy moments (ex, getting 2 zero deaths in tournament a month or so ago, one involving footstools and the other an egg gimp). Also, those 2 combos DID get recorded and will eventually be uploaded, so that'll be cool I guess lol.

Thanks for the critique Socks. I think what it came down to in those sets was just me not being good enough. I definitely panicked a bit against RB, mainly when he started the Fsmash wall. Looking into good options that get around it to help with that. XD

As far as Falco goes, could you explain grabbing side b a bit? I've never really had much success with that, ever. I usually opt for jab > Fsmash.

But yes, I must definitely keep what you said in mind. It's all solid advice and it's stuff I agree with too. I just failed to actually...do it. @_@

Now see here's the difference between me and you. I'm laughing at myself and making honest efforts to change up and improve. Meanwhile, you're using my quote to wallow in your self-defeat and continue to be emo about your playstyle, perhaps drawing some pity from us in the meantime. What you need to do is go out there, play with people, and before you even start improving your gameplay, learn to not get down about your slumps, but poke fun at it instead. Only once you get over that hump will you be able to advance your gameplay.

Your style of gameplay reflects intensely on your personality, from what I've seen: very absolute without giving yourself the chance to mix up or look at things from a different angle. In fact, I'm going to give you homework: the next time you go to a fest or just go out smashing with someone, and you hit a slump, you aren't allowed to draw pity to your gameplay; instead you must be able to laugh it off, and then start consciously thinking about what you're doing wrong and how you can fix it or mix it up. Your physical gameplay is solid, but we need to overhaul your mental state, and this is how I did it with my gameplay.

Sure. If you running grab falco either at the beginning of side b (like before the hitbox, if u predict he will jump from ledge) or in the middle/end (after the invincibility) you grab him out of it. Since yoshi slides a lot with running grab, you will often be right by the edge, which is instant stock, either by just grab releasing and edgehogging or spike.
You dont necessarily need to grab him out of side b, u can just grab him out of his second jump, but thats usually how it happens.
Usually you wont get more than one of those per set unless you get a good trap or bait, but one gimp like that can change a set.

And i agree, kismet and RB are both great players and theres no shame losing to them, especially since yoshi kinda gets ***ed by both characters. But you got pretty close despite that, and i think u can pull it off.

Btw i might play a small national tomarrow :D
unsure. i need to get a controller

Ah, so the GR phantasm gimp comes from grabbing him out of the start up. I should look for that more often, I'm not too bad at predicting it.

And the CG on Falco is pretty set changing in general. The amount of opportunities you can get to make ridiculous comebacks off a single grab anywhere saves the MU, in my opinion.

Exactly. And getting a grab on recovering falco isnt particularly hard as long as they dont start recovering higher. But that itself leads to more punishes, and if u are proficient at the CG, the result is often the same.
I saw you had plenty of opportunities for the gimp, which is why i mentioned it. Kismet wasnt being too careful, and game one could have been yours easily if u had gotten one. If you mix it up with the jab-> fsmash, you scare the falco even more, cuz they arent sure where it is safe to recover.
Which is why falco is much easier than MK and Lucario.
