any tips on getting more efficient at countering with DJC? sometimes I get lucky but I wanna know how to get the timing right. (not parrying) i faced a yoshi who countered almost all of my sh-attacks with fox and i could barely connect a hit. sometimes I wait for the opponent to attack so I can do it but its not very effective since its hard to predict what move theyll use if they know how to space themselves properly.

also any advice on tech chasing with yoshi? when I faced that yoshi it could tech chase me everywhere with DJC but when I try to do it I end up short and miss them barely.

Yoshi is too good. He can:

Jump block
Grab block
Upsmash block
and DJC absorb

Next time you play against someone online who spams projectiles just sit there and practice blocking them for a while, thats what I do.

How does blocking work, you hit them with an attack?

Just asking, since Ness has some stuff similar to Yoshi, I want to know how much. XD

Because that means I'd actually have a reason to go on EGX. P2P is dry these days shun, so I'm playing pogeymans and practicing Training mode combos.

I dont know exact terms but

Jump blocking = hitting shield and jumping within 3 frames of being hit

Grab blocking = hitting shield and grabbing within 3 frames of being hit

Upsmash blocking = hitting shield and upsmashing within 3 frames of being hit

All 3 negate the hit and jump/grab/upsmash at the same time.

DJC absoring is just using ur 2nd jump right as ur being hit.

Parrying is when you tap shield very lightly and Yoshi does his little bob of the head and u absorb the hit.

with the DJC block you still take damage but no knockback right?

and Parry IS done with a shield...gg koro >_>
