Yoshi is a lower Teir Charcter who's Best use who's one of the top 100 - aMSa.
Yoshi is very techinall character with edge hopping and using his eggs. His n air, back air, f smash, are useful attacks. I believe the new fox will be Yoshi. #RedYoshi

I would disagree, the best character is clearly Mr. Game & Watch because he has the chance to OHKO you at any time.

Roy is the best, he has t3h ph1r3 crotch.

His ph1r3 can burn through anything that is within striking range.

That's where the term "Roy Zone" comes from. :roymelee:

To be honest, aMSa's Yoshi isn't good because of Yoshi; aMSa's Yoshi is good because of aMSa. If he put as much time into a higher-tier instead of Yoshi, he would be many places higher.

Nah nah nah, you see, you got it all wrong.
Bowser is soon to be top tier, he can grab you in mid air and just toss you aside like its nothing!

How did you end up quoting me for someone else's post?

aMSa has the potential to be one of the gods. However, his love for the character and desire to dominate with him regardless of weaknesses is one of the reasons so many people love him. You can argue he has gotten so good because he didn't take the easy way out by maining a top tier.

Really people who play melee aren't jerks.

We never see people do Inv. Edge stalls for time outs or platform camping like westballz vs armada. Yoshi could be really broken if some one just stalled with 100% edge stall eggs

I don't think this is because people who play Melee aren't jerks, I think this is because no can be arsed to actually do that for ten minutes. Although, I could definitely imagine doing it to someone who I knew would slaughter me otherwise. It would be hilarious to see people's reactions, and the hate would be gloriously entertaining; but of course, I'm not the only one with these thoughts. Right????

No, he's definitely also good because of Yoshi, in the sense that people aren't used to facing Yoshis so it works as a gimmick in his favour. aMSa is amazing but once people "figure him out" and the novelty wears off...

I wanna see aMSa use fox. Teirs do exist because compare sheik and bowser. There is little bowser can so sheik can get a quick JV5

Yoshi is objectively the best character in the game. Parry combined with power shielding makes him invincible. It's literally impossible to hit Yoshi at a TAS level

I'm inclined to agree with this. I think Yoshi is slightly higher than he is seen now, but I don't think he really consistently can rival the likes of Fox, Falco and Sheik.

aMSa just runs rings around people regardless of what he plays: His Yoshi, his PM Lucario, and his Smash 4 Greninja.

If he decided to play the top tiers like Fox Falco he'd place much better.

I highly disagree


The Captain Falcon avatar should be placed in the middle of the WiiU section

People have been saying this since EVO 2013, give it a rest, aMSa's Yoshi continues to improve and he will continue to place amazing at nationals. Every time he has been doubted he has come back better than ever. Next time will be no different.

yoshis recovery is too booty and he gets chaingrabbed too much to actually be more than a semi-spacie

Yoshi's weight, nair, and double jump actually make him kinda hard to chain-grab. Most chain-grabs on him don't last that long -- being chain-grabbed is way more relevant for Sheik/Pika/Ganon.

I mean, Yoshi has to be SOMEWHAT underrated. If the dude can get 5th at Apex, you can't just say its because of bad MU knowledge or aMSa just being that good.

Roy is the strongest. He has the strongest KO move in the game - the counter. It doesn't matter how hard your opponent will hit you, you will hit them back harder. The only reason people don't play Roy is because the game would become too boring to watch.

It may be a gimmick as he's not "figured out" but while they figure him out he still gets better so in a round about way it evens out (not necessarily 50/50). I think the biggest thing for Amsa is trying to beat the people he plays back in Japan more consistently, it's similar to how Axe struggled winning locals because people figured his Pikachu out but eventually it got to a point where he was just so good it didn't matter anymore.
