I should've knocked on wood.
I got a job now once I go in tomorrow to sign papers.

I just wish I could find his B left/right customs, hopefully one of them is better than that stupid Egg Roll, I'm still having a bit of trouble with that.

RIP your hopes and dreams

Am I the only person that didn't have trouble finding his custom moves? (save for Egg Launch, stupid thing that never dropped)
I just played Smash Run as him until I got the moves. I think there's a higher chance of finding custom moves for the character you are playing as.

Here is a easy way to get custom moves.

Hey there everyone.

My name is SSGuy and I am a DFW player and dedicated Rockman main. However, I would like to say that I am 100% committed to sub-maining/alt-ing Yoshi whether it be for match ups or to gain experience with other playstyles.

Yoshi, contrary to past games, is incredibly fun to play and now with an out of shield option, I finally feel like he is a complete character.

There is still a lot of fine tuning I need to work on but I can't wait to see what I can learn and potentially see what I can bring to the table.

 

[Saikyoshi]

I like to use Egg Roll as a fake-out. I'll roll right back to my end of the stage and deactivate at a safe distance, then punish the opponent as he's reacting.

 

[CelestialMarauder~]

If you jump out of eggroll and cancel it the second you jump, it pretty much simulates an eggroll shot onstage. The lag of getting out of eggroll is the same, but you go a lot further and the lag is happening while you're moving away from them. (I can't remember where it was but you reminded me that someone asked if jumping made eggroll safer)

 

[cAm8ooo]

What are your guy's opinions of having Jiggs as a secondary? I've recently been experimenting with her quite a bit but I'm unsure of what matchups I could effectively use her in. Are there any matchups in which Jiggs is significantly better compared to using Yoshi?

 

[Nikes]

Off topic but:

<3!!

 

[Deleted member]

Yoshi's Side Special should let him roll down a rainbow if used in the air like his Up Special's new rainbow effect. Other than that I love the new Yoshi.

 

[CelestialMarauder~]

Guys I think second hit bair is untechable. I just went into training mode with level 9 cpus (which literally tech everything) and it couldn't tech second hit bair. Whiiiiich might just mean that second hit bair to anything is probably guaranteed at most percents.

 

[Slice~]

You should test this with a human being. *raises hand*
Also, wrong topic!

I've been doing this a lot on For Glory, who certainly aren't the best subjects..... but no one has teched it yet. Generally, I fast fall the second hit to put them in to the ground, from there I turn around jab in to something else, turn around ftilt, or jump as they get up and dair. It may be possible to Fsmash or Dsmash but I haven't tried. If it is techable, no one has done it yet. But at the same time, NO ONE expects it.

Also, does anyone else use Down special to break shields? If the opponent has 75% shield or less it breaks. I usually try to apply pressure and then if they shield next to me its over. The best thing is that near the edge, no matter their percent, they will pop up in a shield break animation and then fall off the stage to their death. I have a couple of these saved on replay that I will upload at some point. Opponents have to be VERY cautious with their shields around yoshi. It is probably possible (just like bowser) to shield the first hit from the ground and then spotdodge or eat the second hit.

 

[Slice~]

I got a shield break in about every 5th game.
Down B is ridiculous.

Also it seems like multi hit spikes CAN be teched, as stated by a friend of mine who tried it with MK's FAir.

 

[CelestialMarauder~]

ah lame, well if they don't tech, you can down b meaning that you can probably downsmash or upsmash too.

Also down b shield breaks are rediculous lmao. it happens like every 3-4 games sometimes twice in the same game. Also if they're low enough to where the shield might break it can poke too

 

[Slice~]

Unfortunately i never know what to do with the succesful shieldbreak.
I recently almost killed myself because i derped around.

Dtaunt then fully charge Usmash ( if in middle of the stage) / Ssmash ( if near ledge ) / grounded Yoshi Bomb. If that doesnt KO them then Uair / Fair them.
Works for me.

 

[Slice~]

Yeah, but that's boring.

 

[Yoshi-hara]

Yeah, but that's boring.

Dair them (low %) or Bair them (high %)
Dair is more for building up damage, and Bair is good for KOs.

 

[Slice~]

Still boring!!!
I want some footstool combo ****.

 

[SuperNictendo]

Hey everyone. Long time smasher, first time Yoshi mainer. After playing around with all the characters in the game I found myself in love with Yoshi's nair. After I saw everything else my favorite reptile had to offer I decided to main him and have been loving it since!

 

[Z'zgashi]

Still boring!!!
I want some footstool combo ****.

Egg Toss > Footstool > Weak nair jab lock (one bounce) > down b

You could also do like a weak nair > bair second hit ground bounce (Assuming its untechable) > follow up

EDIT: Wait weak hit nair doesnt ground bounce noooooo lol. Guess you could fall into them with bair or go weak hit nair > egg lay/down b or something

 

[thrillagorilla]

I don't know if this will reach the right person, but...

There was a Yoshi player that used the tag "lousy" I just got finished fighting on "for glory" mode (my tag was "jimbo").

Thanks for the awesome games!

 

[Malkasaur]

Someone's probably mentioned this at some point but I was messing around with Yoshi the other day and I found something that amused me. If you input shield then jump within a few frames you cancel the shield instantly. After a little bit of experimenting, I found you can replace Jump with Up Smash/Up B. I don't know how useful this is or if someone else has found it already.

 

[Sinister Slush]

It's basically Out of Shield options. Been a thing since Smash 64.

 

[Boshi PV]

I always forget I have Jump OoS options! Still not used to Yoshi having those.

 

[Sinister Slush]

I think a lot of people who mained Yoshi for at least 4+ years do.
PTSD sucks man.

 

[Z'zgashi]

No problems with that here! but then again I also co-mained Bowser/Mario in Brawl who both heavily relied on Up B OoS

 

[Boshi PV]

I find muself saying Juice to remind myself I have JOoS haha that's how I've started to get into the habit, lol.

 

[Shiri]

Speaking of OoS things, have people not been getting hit by up smash OoS when you guys are on the way down from attempting these Hip Drop shieldbreaks?

 

[Boshi PV]

Hip drop shieldbreaks? What is that if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Malkasaur]

I'm not talking about out of shield options, I'm talking about how you can cancel the shield instantly, the shield is never visible.

RIP your hopes and dreams

My Broken Dreams,

What's that metronome I hear,
perhaps the end is drawing near,
you never hear the shot that takes you down,

Out of time, so say good bye,
what is yours, now is mine,

And I'll dream broken dreams,
I make them come true,
I make them for you,

Bad Dreams come true, I'll make them for you, Bad Dreams come true, I'll make them for you.

I make them for you...

 

[Saikyoshi]

I don't have high hopes for the patch. Knowing how Sakurai thinks of balance, Yoshi will become either completely broken or completely useless (again).

 

[Shiri]

Hip drop shieldbreaks? What is that if you don't mind me asking?

Referring to people breaking shields with Down+B. I would imagine some characters can OoS up smash to hit Down+B on the way down.

 

[Egg.]

I doubt the patch will affect us that much, but I'm hoping it will give Sheik a much needed nerf. I just can't deal with that pressure no matter what I try.

Unrelated, since replays will no longer be functioning post-patch, I was recording some of my matches and thought I should share this funny ending to a for glory match!

Spoiler

The footstool was actually luck. I was just trying to mash jump to return to the stage

 

[Depster]

I forget, do we still teleport?

 

[Sinister Slush]

No, the only thing this patch has done to Yoshi so far is fix the teleport glitch. So not sure what Sai is going on about with Yoshi.

 

[Slice~]

I don't have high hopes for the patch. Knowing how Sakurai thinks of balance, Yoshi will become either completely broken or completely useless (again).

I highly doubt that as i guess that actually Namco will do the balancing work.
It can't be a coincidence, that the appearing of Namco and a suddenly well balanced Smash come together.

Sakurai is working with these guys together, and they know how to balance a fighting game.

 

[Shiri]

I mean, let's let time be the judge of how this game turns out.
