Hi all,
I know it's some time away before the Yoshi Matchup gets discussed, but i'm going to a big tournament on the 8th May and a friend is going to be there. I'm hoping to actually go even with/ beat him when we meet in person but i'm really struggling with his main: Yoshi
My problem is that I just get completely walled out by his eggs and aerials. Even when I manage to get a grab or something to start a combo I just get hit by a frame 3 Nair and then eat a combo myself.
If he goes for a Fair into the ground, he seems to be able to just turn around and get a grab before i'm able to drop my shield. If I roll I still get grabbed anyway.
Then when i'm getting combo'd I can't seem to air dodge anything or even DI out of anything. If I move out the combo I just get read really hard. As i've said before, if I use my shield, I get grabbed and killed. The matches are ending with me only being able to take 1 stock and maybe about 50% damage.
I just really don't understand how to play the Matchup and I can't see how to get through anything that Yoshi does because there just seems to be so much going on.
Help a desperate Pikachu overcome his phobia of the reptile and make that Dinosaur extinct again!
...... Please?
