With the new nerfed eggroll we'll see a lot less good Yoshi's. I started noticing people depending on it way too much, to the point of being punished. Can't say I didn't like it though. I feel like a lot of players started leaving behind his bread and butter DJC game

One thing I will never understand is why it takes Yoshi forever after air dodge to grab ledge. It's his only recovery! He should be able to grab ledge faster. . . .

The Egg Roll changes make sense. The move was too free, and created a crutch that too many Yoshi players relied on.

The Down-B changes are fine by me. It gives us another option for edgeguarding, and will help me not look like an idiot when I fail to reverse it off stage x.x

The Dair change was completely needed IMO. The move already does a ton of damage, and with its pop-up in 3.02, you could easily combo someone for a free 40-50% damage, or even get a kill off of it. It's not too hard to hit, so nerfing it makes sense to me. The new angle forces Yoshi players to get creative with it, rather than just mindlessly up-tilting or up-smashing after it. I'm curious to see what people can do with this move after its change.

I personally think the biggest changes to Yoshi are the ones not specific to Yoshi. I'm referring to the general movement improvements/platform detection, and the ability to hit jump even when one jump button's pressed already. The fixed platform detection allows Yoshi to zip around the stage easily now, while the button fix makes it much easier for Yoshi to DJL. I think 3.5 will truly show who has their fundamentals down and who doesn't.

...I know I certainly don't x.x I'll be practicing more than ever!

I feel like ece just got that much harder. I had just gotten it down about 2 weeks before the release and now im like _-_, good thing is it feels slightly faster.
woo!!! forgivable down b ledge grab, gives us some great otpions for edge guarding from ledge now when you need to go off to the right with a dj turn around, .... also it helps me not randomly sd due to my stick being slightly off center T.T
