Yoshi v. Meta Knight

[Z'zgashi]

I understand So are we all agreeing on 65:35 Mk?

 

[Sunnysunny]

I hate this match up because I can't be aggressive in it. ;w;

Seriously...all I do is run, throw eggs, wait for him to approach egg lay, run away throw more eggs. :V Really all you can do is wait for them to slip up, or try and out predict em by delaying smashes and what not.
I agree 35:65~!
A match up wear all you can do is camp and try and out predict is obviously a bad one. ;3;

 

[Sinister Slush]

Yeah had this same problem with a pro meta knight I played at San japan. couldn't get near "Any" MK's was mostly off/the edge of the stage egg throwing and egg lay. Got in a few U-airs which killed him and smash attacks but I still lost to Loko's and one or two others.

 

[Braxton2011]

Yeah, it's pretty much "Camp the good character with no projectile*

The Blood God knows of this matchup very well... there will be more Blood to come.

[bigman40]

Thank you for giving out your wonderful information meatriders. Any other advice you wish to post?

 

[OverLade]

I'm too busy riding the meat of the BLOOD GOD to give any more advice actually.

Removed post i cant deletem an

 

[mlorenzo]

I was there when the The Blood God pass judgement to Meta Knight. It was an awful experience for him. lol

 

[bigman40]

****ing meatriders. Go post your **** in the FL thread where people care. If you don't have anything to contribute, then there's no need to post here.

 

[OverLade]

Why are you so salty Bigman? FL supports each other. Don't hate because there isn't any love in your region.

Anyway concerning the matchup I feel it's somewhere between 6:4 and 55:45 MKs favor. I don't have anywhere near a thorough understanding of what to expect from yoshi from a neutral position so I was mostly guessing against the Blood God (Polt).

I went Snake games 2 and 3 to avoid the Chaingrab and guaranteed kills setups.

translation: I don't know the match-up, so I think Yoshi does really well.

[bigman40]

Because you can meatride the "invisible" Poltergust in a thread that we don't care about like the YGD. I've had enough people meatride me (some still do), so I could care less. I just want help in this MU since this is the only MU I lose to unless I'm being outplayed. Plus, GA has lots of Yoshi exp cause of me, so this makes the MK/Yoshi MU seem like it's impossibly hard to win at high levels.

60/40 isn't really well, it's just pretty legit. What is the current ratio the Yoshi boards have for the matchup? If it's worse than that I'd like to see evidence for it but I already admitted I don't know what Yoshi does from a neutral position. If I was salty I would be johning instead of Meatriding polt

 

[OverLade]

omg

Big, who has red letters? That's right. I have red letters.

Let me do my job, please.

Polt, I recommend you teach your mob squad how to act as mature as you do; I don't need to tell you that while this doesn't necessarily reflect poorly on you, it certainly doesn't lend to the respect you carry around here.

Closing this for 48 hours. Hopefully natural selection will kick in and we can continue meaningful discussion afterwards.

 

[Shiri]

Wow.

Toooooooootally forgot about this, LOL.

Uh, round two? Don't mess this one up, please. :D

 

[Z'zgashi]

Metaknight wins... and yoshi loses... thats all you need to know

You really should stop posting so much.

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

You really should stop posting so much.

...says the one with 3,850+ posts

 

[.Marik]

...says the one with 3,850+ posts

I can assure you that the majority of the Yoshi boards have been posting more than me as of late.

I've cut back a lot, almost Metatitan status.

It also has nothing to do with the number of posts Z'zgashi has, but the incredible lack of any information within them.

No snuzzlefins Meta Knight wins. Durr.

 

[Sharky]

you were all like this at one point, just sayin'

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

I'm still like "this"

only cause I suck at being analytical

 

[Shiri]

Back on track, please.

 

[.Marik]

LOL.

Shiri is so amazing at editing out words. I hope he knows I still love him.

 

[Shiri]

I was thinking just when I was editing that,

"I hope Marik knows I still love him."

<3

Back to Magne--er, Meta Knight.

 

[Teh Future]

i have some input. Not toooooo sure if you guys know this but.....

throw eggs. pivot grab. upsmash

 

[Sharky]

Brilliant!

 

[Z'zgashi]

I almost **** my pants that advice was so good

 

[Shiri]

If anybody has any actual information on this matchup, feel free to post.

I think as time is going on, this is getting worse and worse. The speed factor is just too blatantly disparaging. Pound for pound, the power is about even but move availability between the top is part of that ever-widening gap in this matchup.

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

I agree. I'm also inclined to think that we should go through each move we have and see what we can do with it (range, priority, situation, etc.) and what MK has that beats each move in each situation (which is a lot).

 

[Shiri]

I am down for looking through Yoshi's moves.

But the answer to all of them regardless of if it's the best move situationally to use or not is down tilt, so I think that part is moot.

I am down for the first idea, though.

 

[VSC.D-Torr]

Fair enough (no pun intended, despite how obvious it seems).

 

[Z'zgashi]

But the answer to all of them regardless of if it's the best move situationally to use or not is down tilt, so I think that part is moot.

ummm... you lost me at regardless... :/

 

[indigestible_wad]

I used to use dtilt a lot, but I've stopped using it because I personally use it mainly for opponents who are approaching me, and most of the time these days I see meta knights approaching from the air. They run at you, short hop, and proceed to fair or dair. Sure, it's nice as a gtfo move, but I seem to use ftilt and jab more often in those situations.

 

[Rob_Gambino]

Ya'll are too depressed. I figured that match between polt and hal would inspire more talk about the matchup.

 

[bigman40]

Prolly would've in '08. In 2010, the Yoshi boards have devolved into nothing but trollers, and quitters.

 

[Sinister Slush]

^ Truths
For now over Skype people are thinking of maining MK after the new Stage list and rules. I'll continue using Yoshi. If I just keep losing to MK's.. i'll train with lucario a bit.
CG Distant planet is both deadly for MK and your self if you screw up once.
