What do you mean? Like he suffers from stuff or the fact that all his dang moves cancel out everything.

Yeah but my cynicism strikes me when if, persay, there was 0 Yoshi mains outside of Nikes and Zude and I kept presenting the 1st place tournament wins they used too/kept getting to smashboards and then people ask "who did they beat?"

Basically, I can say the players are good in my eyes, but what if others ask if the scene is even good itself or who all is good/worth mentioning over there. Everyone won't care if you get 1st, they only care if Zero or other top players are around the scene to make it seem like it's a difficult scene to get first in.

Not downplaying their achievements, just not entirely sure who is good in that scene or if it really is just that free or not.
That's harsh and a tad unfair. Basically, people are discrediting others achievement because they aren't beaten "recognized" names. Not everyone has the chance to go abroad to please others...

He could've had a lot of silly gimmicks. Like instead of UpB being egg throw it'd be side b instead and we can aim it in a straight or diagnol line but unable to move unless in the air like Yoshi's Story.
Or tongue (tether) to latch onto things/the ledge like Yoshi's Story.
Or his UpB has him using wings like SMW2 when he swallows a blue shell.

There's a lot that could've been used.

Unfortunately, that's frequently the only way to actually compare players. Theorycrafting doesn't work that well, lol.

I think I'm being fair. Insanely fair actually.

In what world is anyone mentioning any other Yoshi mains outside of Sky Slice and Raptor now all of a sudden.
Raptor recently only cause, not sure honestly lol. But the former two are cause of reddit and Zero. Raptor I feel like is being mentioned around in both leddit and Smashboards almost solely cause I've been trying to make half an effort to point out other Yoshi's that actually exist (I know, it's spooky, MORE YOSHI MAINS THAN JUST SKY AND SLICE).
Since I've been pounding that into the cesspit that is /r/smashbros, now there's even for glory levels of casuals that mention 3 names now instead of just two and maybe Yoshidora/aiba :^)

Hi! I'm trying to main Yoshi but every time I go online I get stomped. I have like a 48% win or something and I didn't think I was THAT bad at the game. Most of my wins are either lucky or against beginners. I was wondering if someone could jump online with me sometime and tell me what I'm doing wrong and what I need to improve on.

I hear Sky being a really good Yoshi but I've haven't see much vids or results. Is there any footage of his Yoshi I can look at?

Also I know plenty of people who think slice is the best Yoshi player by alot just because of a combo video off of For Glory or somthing.
Do you really think I'd use FG content for videos like this?
Not a single opponent of these is a beginner/bad player.

I don't want to make a statement or something like that. Just wanted to clarify, that I'd never fall down to such a level.
I make these videos with passion, not with the goal to satisfy the casual scene.

Can confirm, Slice works really hard on his content and I'm always impressed by what he pulls off, especially considering the level of players he does it against.

If Slice wanted he could probably make a weekly combo video off For Glory because he's got them skills.

Just to point out I'm not downplaying slice or anything, I just find it real unfortunate that it only got so popular cause it was posted on reddit.
Imagine if the other Combo vids other yoshi mains made threads for/posted in the vid thread made it before slice did. They'd become the big talk for Yoshi's even though they went from nameless to e-famous in an instant.

That's amazing. Wait 'til I get my videos up. (,: Yes, this includes 3DS ones! I don't want to be a phonie, so I'll also try to get tournament results. I made 7th out of 64 going all Bowser, last week.

Really? Some dude told me somthing about it being mostly based off of FG. Sorry about that. But anyways I still love you combo video regardless. Your combo video is fancy af... did you seriously make it yourself? I kinda want mine to have a cool intro like yours to but obviously not a copy

Why would you believe what other people tell you.
If you actually watched the vid, you'd noticed more than half the clips are on smashville, the time limit is more than 6 minutes even on omega stages and there's even 3 stocks that pops up in some of the omega clips lol

If I played friendlies with people, I'd prolly choose omega gaur plain or Kalos almost everytime.

Back in the Brawl days, it would have been acceptable since everyone started as a Wi-Fi Warrior. But most everyone here these days takes themselves seriously enough not to do it anymore.

i prefer normal FD because Yoshi bombing under the ledge works so amazing there. Also it was awhile back and he seemed convincing. Im pretty sure i know a lot better but combo videos still make people look so much better then they actually are. I know for a fact slice is good though because Ive seen him play. Same as you Sinister Slush. Aren't you like 5th in your state or city? I think KO told me about it.

Wait what are you asking about me and my placement in SA?
I'm prolly 5th or 6th yeah. Our rankings is point based but also can manipulate it by inflating it and going to almost every weekly or having top players not tryharding and lower leveled players getting free wins so the lower level players gain a chunk of points.

Well the patch is out but mine's still downloading so I can't tell just yet...they shouldn't nerf him considering the lack of results in large tournaments and the lack of people repping him.
Guess we'll find out soon...

nah, i can't find any changes. at the very least his attacks all do the same amount of damage, even dair lol.

the only thing i can think of is that they made dsmash slightly faster (placebo), or they made him slightly lighter and i just don't notice it.

Everyone seems to be reporting that Yoshi's unchanged. I haven't noticed anything yet myself, but I haven't exactly done any extensive testing either.

hey actually, can someone check if downb goes further than before?

i'm probably wrong, but i feel like downb from the ground makes yoshi go a little bit further now.

NO WHAT?! YOSHIS BACK AIR IS A WIND BOX NOW?! It seems to fling the sandbag up high in online or just sandbags in general. HOLY CRAP. Is this good or bad?! Also the animation is diffrent and it seems faster because when you did full hop back airx2 the 2nd time the hitbox showed but not the animation and it seems to frame cancel

i don't notice anything different about bair's knockback or trajectory. i thought it always launched people that way.

but while i was testing that, i noticed the hitsound on bair implies that yoshi's tail hits four times. if you just let it swish in the air, it sounds like the tail swishes four times, even though it only does three hits. thought that was interesting.
