I've found that furries overall are just nicer people and they're more accepting of others. I also like how open they are. I can't describe how nice it is to start a conversation online or in person with another furry and feel like I'm instantly liked. I guess it's the same way with the smash community (disregarding the Melee/Brawl warring people). If I find out someone likes smash, they're automatically awesome and I wanna play them to see how good they are. With furries, once I find out they are one, i instantly know that I have something in common with 'em and I wanna know more about 'em.
Plus the art is win =)
How good is my Yoshi? (aside From HOBO 28 since I was having an unlucky day)
Why A Gabite avatar?
Do you even use DR or try practicing it at all? Or are you like me thinking it doesn't matter and DJ Egglay is better.
:320:
As I've said before, I honestly don't really watch other Yoshis. I generally upload my own vids and get feedback, but I don't analyze others unless specifically asked. That aside, I can tell you what I did notice at Hobo 28 even if you were having an off day.
You have the technical aspect of Yoshi down well (all your down-B tricks worked a lot of the time and you knew how to vary it up, you know the ETS fluidly, and aside from a few slips, you had the DJC Egg-Lay down nicely). The only problem/s I see with your Yoshi is that you're too aggressive for one. Also, you seem to do what another one of my friends does, and that's if you can be fancy, you do it rather than just playing it safe. One of my friends plays Luigi, and even when he could very easily just up-B to get back safely, he will ALWAYS tornado just because it looks fancy when he pulls it off. I noticed the same kind of stuff with you: you had the tricks to confuse your opponent, but once your opponent sees what you're doing, it's really easy to predict what you're gonna do, and it's just downhill from there unless you can vary it up. I'd say honestly, try playing a bunch of friendlies without all the advanced techniques (no down-b sliding, no wave-bouncing, no ETS) and just try to beat your opponent/s by outthinking them. Your spacing will get loads faster quickly, you'll predict your opponent better, you'll make smarter choices, and then you'll start incorporating the tricks back into your game.
I have a Gabite avatar mainly because I found an artist who was drawing a bunch of chibified pokemon, and when I saw his Gabite, I thought it was too adorable to pass up, so I made it my avatar on a couple sites, and then it just kind of stuck with me, so I still have it, heh.
I practiced DR a while ago (like 8 months ago), and I had it down to about a 60% success rate, but that was only in training mode. When it came to actually doing it mid-fight, I couldn't figure out where to actually use it. It was just easier for me to side-dodge or shield then it was to hit 4 buttons within 3 frames. I think if you CAN get the DR down as well as Bigz does, then it is useful in certain scenarios (like his grab-release on MK to a down-tilt/down-smash to save his kill moves). But this goes back to what I said above, in that I think it's more important to be able to beat your opponent without tricks first and foremost. Also, my reaction time is terrible, so I know I'd never be able to DR away if I spaced something badly, heh. I wouldn't go as far as to say DJC Egg-Lay is better, but it's definitely easier and more reliable, and I'm all for being safe with your moves rather than taking a chance that something'll go wrong.
Oops, had the name wrong on the OP and title. Fixed it though!
Heh, it's ok Air, everyone does it that way =P
