Bad for recovery, but an excellent staller that really throws you off. If you watch my video vs DEF you will know exactly what I mean; he would stall right above me to avoid the UpB or Fsmash I would have planned for him. Technically he could have punished me easily, but he's not a technical player so he doesn't know he could have punished me.The only things that I know about Yoshi is that his second jump is godly and his Up+B isn't useful for recovering at all.

I PM'd Shiri when he said the Yoshi boards know how to get around footstooling. This is what he said:Although, Yoshi's weakness is footstooling.
Shiri said:Well, there are a few ways.
First, we have airdodging through opponents, which is probably the simplest and safest option, even if predictable airdodges are punishable with attacks, we've at least avoided the footstool.
Another way is to perform any aerial (preferably up air), since if you're footstooled in the middle of any animation besides your freefall and regular jumps, the opponent will still hop off of you, but you won't be sent into a tumbling animation.
Other options include taking footstools while not in the double jump yet and then jumping out of the tumbling animation there. Yoshi can use the Egg Toss as a way to make his way back to the stage from afar without using the double jump for this. Yoshi can also "directionalize" his jump (for lack of a better word) by turning around as he jumps or using his aerial speed to weave around opposing players in midair.
Unfortunately, the mass view on Yoshi's double jump is that it does one thing in one direction and is easy to stop all the time, when none of those views is very close to true. Yoshi's double jump is indeed capable of all these things and remains one of the most consistently successful forms of recovery in this game, I believe.
Hopefully this has answered your question. If you need anything else, let me know.
Aw come on, you got some respectable midtiers (ZSS).The only reason that I respect Yoshi is because he's low tier.
Hmm....she's okay but her whip is so annoying it just messes up my Link so bad...she has great combos too..i mean srsly try playing ZSS then immedietly switching to Link....its so...weird?Aw come on, you got some respectable midtiers (ZSS).
Dude....I second ZSS, I switch back and forth all the time lolHmm....she's okay but her whip is so annoying it just messes up my Link so bad...she has great combos too..i mean srsly try playing ZSS then immedietly switching to Link....its so...weird?
o.O Well you haxx! You don't count! lol. jk. anyways dont you think yoshi is way to god to be low tier?Dude....I second ZSS, I switch back and forth all the time lol
dude i played him for a online tourney match over the summer, lost to him 2-1 he was good till he started camping/ up b spamming <__<All I can say is OMFG Crei! Now that's a Yoshi player. >_>
I really don't think I can take an accurate guess at the match up; but with experience from playing Crei, it's that Yoshi is NOT to be underestimated. Mayhaps a 50:50 is in order.
